Vidorra might not earn rave reviews for its enchiladas, but that’s OK, because you’re not here for lunch or dinner. You’re here for brunch. And on that score, this Deep Ellum eatery offers hope. It’s run by the same folks as Stirr down the street, and the similarities are noticable…
It’s the middle of lunch rush, but Andrew Taherzadeh is working the register with an admirable calm. One customer approaches the counter, empty mug outstretched like Oliver Twist, and Taherzadeh fills it with glacier-cold root beer without any exchange of words. Two hands means you can hold two plastic baskets…

New Deep Ellum country music venue Mama Tried also serves brunch, and it’s a solid bet — especially if you go for chicken-fried steak.
Chicken and waffles: Admit it. You’re over it. Or at least you’re over the lazy approach countless restaurants are taking to the dish, and many other brunch classics. Brunch is supposed to be fun, so the food should live up to the hype. But honestly, is that truly the case…
Whoever says Dallas doesn’t have great Italian food hasn’t been paying attention – especially to Jennifer and David Uygur’s new Macellaio, a sister restaurant to Lucia in Bishop Arts.
Summer in Texas ain’t easy — especially at restaurants, which often see a dip in the summer months as people head out of town, presumably to flee somewhere a person can comfortably exist in August. The last few weeks have seen a characteristic run of restaurant closures. As we transition…
Fries covered in fatty, savory toppings sound like the perfect thing to have late at night in Deep Ellum. While you can get that at #GetFried, don’t expect it to be fast — or particularly delicious. And yes, the hashtag is part of the name. This chain fry cafe on…
Burgers begin, for chef Jeff Bekavac, with a Big Mac at grandma’s house. It’s his first cheeseburger memory. He was sitting at his grandparent’s table with the iconic, mountainous double cheeseburger with the special sauce and the sesame seed bun.

Consider the sweaty effort that goes into one sandwich at this diner. Quinoa bubbles in vegetable broth. It’s hit with tumbles of carrots, onions and parsley. Nearby, cashew paste —when cashews get demolished, they take on a fatty, creamy texture — thickens from scoops of tapioca. The quinoa, the cashew…
Driving through Carrollton, particularly around the intersection of Old Denton and Trinity Mills, it can be difficult to find a sit-down restaurant that doesn’t serve Asian fare.
