In the annals of branding it doesn’t exactly sing out, but this is the line that Hector’s on Henderson flaunts. “It’s a great place for date night,” owner Hector Garcia says in a KDAF-TV Up All Night segment. He repeats it. So do his minions. Like ingesting fish oil, “date…
I heard that Maple & Motor was small and that you gotta get there early if you don’t want to have to wait in line, so I made it to there by 11:30 a.m. A buncha assholes must’ve heard I was on my way and decided to beat me there,…

Eschewing sushi-dining etiquette (yes, it exists), my dining companions ordered a bonanza of nigiri and fancy rolls at the outset. I hung my head and went with the flow, for fear there would be none left once the ravenous birds I call my friends and family had had their fill…
Rusty Taco. It’s not only what the neighborhood cat lady calls her womanly bits. Now it’s also a place you can eat! On Greenville at University, that old Just Brakes location is now a swank-ass taco stand with like 30 tables of shaded patio seating. And beer and margaritas. And…

A loosened tie. Rolled-up shirtsleeves. Ditching heels for flats. Friendly banter during the ballgame or an “I’ll get the next one.” Any beer commercial can extol the virtues of expressing your real self after a hard day working for someone else, but that’s all posturing…and the fake slaps on the…

The first taste of the baked Dungeness crab dip provoked a moment of quiescence. The silence, short-lived, was followed by ravenous arm wrestling for more. The appetizer dip, served with shards of unleavened bread—think matzo par excellence—was a reward for the tortuous hunt for non-valet parking in the eatery-heavy Knox-Henderson…
When I walked into Burger Bueno, the crazy variety of menu options immediately threw me into an order coma. I guess I expected this place to offer a bunch of different “bueno” burgers. Maybe even something weird and American/Mexican fusiony, like a burger with salsa on it. They did, indeed…
Tacos, tacos, tacos. That should be the theme of this month’s Revolving Doors. With Rusty Taco finally opening their doors, the Austin-based Torchy’s Taco making a move to Dallas this summer, and Fuzzy Tacos and Urban Taco adding more locations, that’s all anyone can talk about lately. Well, we definitely…
Before you take the first bite of Screen Door’s tasso ham soup, pause a moment to listen. This soup talks to you. It’s a lady with a sweet Southern accent, speaking softly and gently into your ear. She says, “Come on, hon, eat up while it’s good ‘n’ hot, ’cause…
