Open for about two months now, Uchi is a hot ticket. To secure a seat at this Austin-bred sushi spot, you’re going to need to book reservations about a week in advance. Without them, you’re not getting in without a long wait — unless you know how to outsmart the…

Before we get into any of this I thought I should point out that Old Navy is having a sale on elastic pants right now. Maybe you should bookmark it. Bikini season isn’t going to last forever, you know, and I can personally attest to the comfort and appeal of elastic,…
Everything is hot. The steering wheel, the bridge, those metal birds in Deep Ellum, the hose nozzle out back, Jim Schutze and the mailbox are all like smoking nuclear rods. Yesterday I grabbed a metal chair that had been sitting outside on a bright patio, and now I can shoot powerful…

Tucked into a nondescript strip mall in Plano, Taipei Station Cafe is the kind of place people who love food want to know about but have yet to discover. Not that it isn’t popular — on weekends around lunchtime, Taipei is packed to the gills and the line stretches past…
The farm-to-table movement in Dallas is still going strong, at least that seems to be the case with the proliferation of restaurants that promise this style of locally focused cuisine. On the home kitchen front, though, it looks as if Dallasites might be losing interest in purchasing locally made meat…
It’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Deep Ellum. Groups of friends are gathered at the Anvil Pub, where brunch cocktails with ridiculous garnishes are considered prerequisite weekend libations. A line of hungry looking diners stretches out the door at Pecan Lodge. And then there is Café Salsera. It’s the new…
The red “A” hanging over Elm Street was first illuminated about a month ago, alerting pedestrians that their next late-night dining option was ready for business.

Here’s one the kids will love/be terrified of. Salmagundi! is one part circus performance, one part dinner. The big-shoed, bendy and musical folks behind Circus Freaks, a local troupe of entertainers, is taking their circus dinner theater to Carrollton’s Plaza Arts Center. Here’s hoping they’ll do the ol’ pull-the-lapin-a-la-bourguignonne-out-of-the-hat-trick. Tickets…
You know this already, but it’s a weird and wild world of burgers out there. Sites range from historical (Dairyette), heavily debated (Keller’s), and newly gold-cheese-minted structures (Like: Offsite Kitchen and Knife).
