Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Well, it might be a bad head -- a bad cow's head, to be more specific. Because, see, yesterday Dallas City Packing, Inc., located just south of downtown, recalled nearly a million pounds of cattle heads after the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service noticed that the company hadn't completely removed their tonsils. That's a potentially bad thing, since the tonsils have been known to contain Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy -- or, as it's better known, mad cow disease. Problem is, some of those noggins shipped in February of '07 -- or several plates of barbacoa ago, dang it. Least it'll give me more room out in the garage. --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.
