Ever since the mid-1600s, when the Irish Catholic Confederation adopted the green harp flag, Ireland has been associated with the color green. Fast forward to modern, culturally appropriating America, where people, regardless of national heritage, don green bikinis and clover-shaped sunglasses and get hammered on green beer. You can be…

Years of ridiculous McDonald’s Big Macs and seared diner burgers — the smashed bun, half-melted cheese and diced onion — have clearly put a spell on the chefs at Kitchen LTO, Filament and CBD Provisions. They’re serving three of Dallas’ best burgers, and each is layered with American cheese and a…
