Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The weekend's big event may be out in Arlington, but the American Airlines Center's still hosting the rookie challenge and the slam dunk contest tonight and Saturday, and the arena's catering crew -- who figured prominently in our list of DFW's stadium-food surprises -- are turning out a new menu in impressive quantities.
Under chef Brian Johnson, the Levy Restaurants caterers will be plenty busy, serving up massive amounts of food for the two day NBA All-Star weekend including, they say, 10,000 hot dogs, 2,000 pounds of chicken, 8,000 cookies, 200 gallons of salsa, 4,000 corn tortillas for chips and 1,200 pounds of lettuce.
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.
