Meet you at Hawk's. No, Hall's. No wait -- Fudgy Freeze?

What is the deal with 8131 Forest Lane? Is this restaurant location cursed? I haven't lived in North Dallas for that long, but I've already seen this restaurant location change from Hawk's Catfish to Hall's Chicken (which was open in February 2010 and then closed within a year) to Watch...

What is the deal with 8131 Forest Lane? Is this restaurant location cursed? I haven't lived in North Dallas for that long, but I've already seen this restaurant location change from Hawk's Catfish to Hall's Chicken (which was open in February 2010 and then closed within a year) to Watch Ya Fingas, (their website says they opened January 11, and they're already closed) to the best name yet: Fudgy Freeze.

Fudgy. Freeze. It's no Fat Ho Burgers, but if you're looking for a photo op restaurant name, it's pretty solid. (Frozen solid, even.) I just hope it's there the next time I drive down Forest Lane.

Alice Laussade writes about food, kids, music, and anything else she finds to be completely ridiculous. She created and hosts the Dallas event, Meat Fight, which is a barbecue competition and fundraiser that benefits the National MS Society. Last year, the event raised $100,000 for people living with MS, and 750 people could be seen shoving sausage links into their faces. And one time, she won a James Beard Award for Humor in Writing. That was pretty cool.
