We tried the wings, Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches, nuggets and cheesecake bites at Bad Chicken.

Lubbies Bagels is the newest entrant into the burgeoning Dallas bagel scene, taking up residence at the former location of 20 Feet Seafood in East Dallas.

Craft and Vine in Plano has a tap wall with more than 40 self-serve options. Is it beautiful or dangerous, or, perhaps, both?

On Sunday evenings, lowrider clubs show off their vintage cars and big sounds along Jefferson Avenue. It’s where we discovered Olidogs grilling LA-style dogs.

The duo behind Spinster Records offers an unpretentious cocktail and vinyl lounge serving light bites in the Bishop Arts District. We recently got a first look and plan to have many more.

The Royal Dinner for two takes four servers to offload and includes cream-infused curry, fresh garlic-studded naan, turmeric-tinted basmati rice, spiced Indian yogurt and more.

The owner of TJ’s Seafood, Malibu Poke, Escondido and Ramble Room has a new concept for East Dallas. Birdie’s Eastside, an expansive bar and grill, is going into the old Luby’s on Mockingbird Lane.

Sizzling fajitas and classic margaritas have always had a home here. Round two of Casa Rosa is just as good, and perhaps more endearing, some 40 years later.

Draped in greenery, Bep Nha is a Vietnamese food and drink haven in Dallas. Authentic noodles, fried rice and pho dishes are complemented by drink specialties like lychee rose tea and egg coffee.

You won’t ask ‘Where’s the beef?’ when you dine at one of these restaurants.

Go! Go! Curry makes its curry by way of a 55-hour preparation process, which happened to be Hideki Matsui’s number while playing baseball. The real star of the show: the near-ethereal Japanese curry.

With a recent quick first look, Mister Charles is, as expected, stellar. But just how much are Dallas diners willing to fork over on Monday night dinner?

The Burger Shop from Forney recently opened its second location in Richardson, adding another option for the burger fan in North Dallas.

You’ll need to set an OpenTable alert to get a reservation at this new concept, which is booked out for now. No worries the truffle duck berlingot will wait for you.

Luigi is the giant robotic arm making pepperoni pizza at Pizza Jukebox in Frisco. It’s fun entertainment for the kids if nothing else.

H-E-B has opened its first store in McKinney today. Hundreds waited in the dark, pre-dawn, just to be a part of the fanfare.

Tacos, tequila and seating for 199 of your best friends: sound fun? It does to us too. This new restaurant and bar is the 14th concept from Harwood Hospitality.

Chicago-transplant Quartino makes bread and pasta in-house daily. And while those are wonderful, the bolognese and pappardelle di manzo would make Nonna proud.

A new retro arcade and cocktail bar is opening in North Oak Cliff with games like Pac-Man, X-Men, Ninja Turtles, Frogger, NBA Jam and The Simpsons, plus board games.

Ten50 BBQ is moving into the spot where Sonny Bryan’s was for more than two decades. They hope to open the new location later this year.

With stellar brisket, pulled pork and smash burgers, we’re more than willing to drive west to visit Dayne’s new restaurant in Aledo.

People are lining up for the Peking Duck at Bamboo House. Is it the best in the Dallas area? We stopped by to see.
