Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Dallas-based Brinker International's stock is down today -- 55 cents, at last look, to $18.48 -- after an analyst gave it a "neutral" rating. And why's Christopher O'Cull of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey so so-so on Doug Brooks' chain of eateries? 'Cause, says the Associated Press, "Chili's has been unable to stand out from the pack of casual dining restaurants and faces increased competition from quick-service chains." Come to think of it, I can't recall the last time I went to Chili's. But right now, I could totally go for an Oldtimer®. How 'bout you, Rhett Miller? --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
