This is Texas, which means we all have an image in our head of what a tray of great barbecue looks like. There’s definitely some brisket in our tray, pencil-width slices fanned perfectly with a peppery black bark and a deep pink smoke ring. We’ve got some sausage, too, and…
We had to make a lot of difficult choices for our annual Best Of Dallas issue — but few were harder than determining the winner of the title Best Bar Food. We are living in the golden age of Dallas bar food, and a half-dozen watering holes all deserve the…

Inside the Dulceria, it’s warm and quiet. The air, heavy with the scent of toasted cheese and griddled bread, seems to mute the sounds of the cafe like snowfall. Sure, there’s the airy splat sound of a mustard bottle occasionally, which is the yellow light that signals that you’re about…
The quaint town square in downtown Carrollton feels like a place that time forgot.

Lark on the Park’s Bar Director, Jeff Trevino, came up with this take on the traditional New York sour by adding a cherry-balsamic shrub. This bright, slightly acidic cocktail will be available for a bit longer, so stop in and try it before the sun sets on this offering … and the summer.

When you’re on the hunt for vegan fare, there are a growing number of places you can go in DFW — but it’s likely you don’t think DeSoto. James McGee wanted to change that — so he opened Peace, Love & Eatz, a vegan/vegetarian spot off Belt Line Road. “I’ve…

It’s the same old story: Jim Prichard had spent three decades in the movie production and distribution game, populating theaters…
