The Heritage Table looks to pioneer this trend in the area, and they’ve taken on…
When it comes to designer burgers, a good one is a high-wire act. Add too many overwrought ingredients – and a high price – and you’ll end up with a pretentious sandwich that sends you running to the nearest In-N-Out. Too few ingredients and you’ll wonder why you’re dropping twenties…

It shuttered saloons but gave rise to speakeasies, hidden bars that met the demand of those who still wanted an occasional drink. A new restaurant in Lewisville is paying homage to America’s semi-booze-free era: Prohibition Chicken. Part chicken shack, part…
The first bao to land in front of me is the Angry Bird. The chicken has been brined in soy sauce, peppercorns, salt, sugar, vinegar, tossed in follow-up marinade, then given a coat of panko and flash0fried. Dill pickles, the ones that like to sit in your fridge for months,…

For years, Tillman’s Roadhouse felt like it was playing second fiddle.
