“A farm-to-table Spanish tapas bar led by big-time culinary talents opens its doors inside a style-conscious youth hostel.” The summary sounds like a joke about those crazy foodies down in Austin finding yet another way to out-weird the rest of Texas. But it’s not a news alert from Austin. Deep…

El Bolero’s new East Dallas location serves brunch, but maybe it shouldn’t.

There’s a new vegan restaurant in town, but you can’t actually visit it. Lucky Cat Vegan is a delivery-only restaurant that opened three weeks ago from dietitian-chef Navin Hariprasad, the owner of downtown Indian Tex-Mex fusion restaurant Spice in the City. Food from Hariprasad’s new, virtual venture can only be…

If those midnight toasts didn’t satisfy, think of something more along the lines of morning and noontime toasts. Possibly French, definitely buttered. Maybe with a side of chicken-fried deliciousness. Now don’t go cooking up a mess in the kitchen on the first day of the year before turning to the…

Five months after they opened, business went off the face of a cliff. The decline was a gut-punch surprise for owners Braden and Yasmin Wages.
