Today while anxiously spying on the progress of Hurtado Barbecue (stay tuned), I whipped around the corner and saw two bright-red pigs in a parking lot and was giddy with excitement. This little area of Arlington is getting tastier by the day. First of all, let’s all run through fields…
I’m not the biggest brunch guy. I feel like maybe later in life I’ll get there because I certainly love traditional brunch items, and day drinking seems like it might be fun in an alternate timeline where I don’t have so damn much to do. But Medrano is a brunch…
If you scroll down Dallas native Chrysta Miller’s beautiful Instagram, you will find she has baked different types of iced cookies for occasions on varying themes. Miller is a master of shapes, colors and design, and she thrives when she is able to create freely. Miller launched Cookies by Chrysta…
On the first day they threw open their doors after the tornado, patrons of TJ’s Seafood Market and Grill packed into the restaurant. It was Nov. 1, 2019, and Preston Royal Village limped but stood — shards of torn buildings and metal exposed by the tornado still stand. None of the destruction…

E Bar Tex-Mex is a good enough go-to for strong margaritas and meeting up with a friend on the way home. But you can also hit it for brunch — or breakfast food any time of day. And thankfully, you can still get margaritas even if you are having the…
Las Almas Rotas brought out a new menu last week, and we’re in love with the Nectar de Nopales.
Last Saturday, by 7:30 p.m., a line snaked to the door, and every table was taken inside the Grand Prairie location of Pollo Salsa. The air outside was a bit too chilly for most to enjoy a meal on the large patio, though some did. Pollo Salsa prides itself on…
You might think one of Dallas’ better steakhouses may burn a hole in your wallet, but III Forks has a happy hour when guests can have wine, cocktails and filling bites at a discounted price. During happy hour, from 4 to 7 p.m. daily, wine by the glass and draft…
When Circo TX closed in the summer of 2019, details exploded into public about alleged mismanagement of the Uptown restaurant.

With Mardi Gras three weeks away, you might be weighing your options, picking the best in a litter of crawfish boils and parties. Pounds of crawfish spread across tables can, for some, be intimidating. So much work for so little meat, right? And your nails! But, no worries, there are…
José’s chef, Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, is headed to New York to cook at the James Beard House on March 13. But if you want to try the food yourself, you can do so right here in Dallas on Feb. 19. “We’re trying to duplicate exactly what we’ll do there so we…
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and with so many great restaurants in Dallas, it’s hard to choose where you will be taking the love of your life (or the Hinge match you’ve known for a month) for the dinner portion. Yup, dinner is still a must on date nights, so…
Community Beer Co. recently marked seven years of business, and they did so with a vintage Vegas anniversary party. The Design District brewery was filled with more than 70 beers, food, live music and local art. Community puts out some of our favorite beers (personally, the Mosaic is my usual…

Because I’m the age I am, the word “biscuit” makes me think of “The Humpty Dance” every single time I hear it or even think it. If I eat a good enough biscuit, I might even quietly rap it. Samoans! I guess that a place with biscuit in the name…
Rozana Market and Restaurant opened in December 2017, bringing the first Middle Eastern grocery store to Coppell. This family-owned halal market and restaurant was opened by Sameer and Ola Saleh to fill a gap in the neighborhood. “My parents wanted something for the community here,” says Saja Saleh, Sameer and…
I never meant to hate the Super Bowl. I actually love football. When Jim McMahon shimmied the Bears through New Orleans in 1986, I was obsessed. Walter Payton, Willie Gault, Mike Singletary and The Fridge! They were the best. See? I go way back with the pigskin. But, the tipping…
