Founded in 1980 in Austin, this mega-peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products (including health and beauty) has stores that are easily navigable and in certain instances pricey. Cost aside, the inventory gives preference to local wares and fare, obvious by all the laminated rectangles touting “LOCAL.” Of course, if imported French butter is […]

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products features a wide range of Texas-grown foods, but if imported French butter is your thing, Whole Foods has that too. Each department’s staff is knowledgeable, chipper and willing to hold your hand when indecision strikes. For example, the cheesemongers will take […]
The parking lot of this grocery store is typically jam-packed with Mercedes and BMWs, a sure sign that you’re about to enter the fancy-pants organic world of Whole Foods Market. This location isn’t the largest in Dallas, but an in-house bakery, meat and seafood counters with a focus on naturally raised and sustainable products, a […]
Wicked Butcher is a downtown Dallas steakhouse located in the Comerica Bank Tower, which reopened in 2024 after facing challenges from the pandemic, protests in downtown and a hard freeze. It has gained popularity, ranking No. 6 on Yelp’s best new restaurants list. The restaurant is known for its impressive popovers served with rosemary butter […]
Besides an array of hot dogs, Harry’s is also known for frozen custard, an egg-rich ice cream that’s superbly smooth, creamy and dense. In addition to the standard chocolate and vanilla, rotating flavors might include cookies ‘n’ cream, mango or toffee crunch. A generously sized single scoop with a topping – think sprinkles, candy or […]

This isn’t your standard Mexican-American restaurant buried in a suburban strip mall. Wild Salsa sits smack in the middle of downtown, across from the lush grass, sculptures and dog walkers of Main Street Garden. Serving up great tacos priced from $2.50 to $3.50 apiece and clever sides, like dressed-up elotes and black bean cakes, the […]
On approach, this spot has straight sports-bar vibes. TVs deck the walls, all tuned into a game; wings and Philly cheesesteaks are heavy hitters on the menu. However, you should start with a salad, which would be odd at a sports bar, right? That’s the first sign that something here is “different.” The bowl of […]
There’s a line in bartender Jason Kosmas’ book, Speakeasy, that talks about the benefit of hanging out in the old man’s bar. Wisdom is passed down, advice is doled out, strong drinks are poured. Windmill owner and barman Charlie Papaceno is certainly no old man, but his bar seems to be the go-to drinkery for […]
Windmills is the Dallas area’s most eclectic new venue for eating, drinking and, well, everything else. Windmills is a craft brewery, jazz club, Indian restaurant, art book library, cocktail bar, steakhouse and picnic spot all packed into one building which declares itself, accurately, a “Total Environment.” Lamb seekh kebabs marinate with Kashmiri peppers before going […]
Winner’s is a definite winner when it comes to barbecue. It easily ranks as one of North DFW’s best barbecue joints, but don’t judge based on looks. Start with a two-meat plate, which includes generous servings of delectable meat. We loved the brisket and ribs, served along with beans, mustard potato salad and several slices […]

If you’ve ever wondered what the hell that big, red, round thing in the Arts District is, we’re here to inform you that it’s our world-renowned Winspear (not to be confused with Winstar — that’s another behemoth of a structure, albeit a considerably less cultured one). A modern interpretation of the typical opera house, it’s […]
Richard Ellman, the founder of Wits Steakhouse, was born in coastal South Africa and both of his parents were born there as well. He went back to his family roots for inspiration for this spot. For starters, there’s biltong, which is South African beef jerky, a tenderloin carpaccio, bone marrow and bacon jam, oyster Rockefeller […]
This Richardson sports bar is open seven days a week from 11 a.m.- 2 a.m., and each day, from first pour to last call, it has an “All Day Happy Hour” that features $2 domestic drafts and $3 wells. So don’t be surprised to see folks, young and old, hanging out or playing pool at […]
