The other night I saw an ad for Ruby Tuesday that ended with a URL that made me say, “Wow. Did that actually just happen?” This is not something I say often. But I am a sucker for mysterious URLs. (See: Me speed-typing “cowboyfaith.org” into my phone after passing a…
Maybe, just maybe, Dallas’ long-bitched-about problem with flighty, temperamental diners is just an epicurean crutch. For years, chefs have blamed customers for safe, boring, innovation-free menus, swearing that North Texas diners don’t understand or desire new and evocative cooking. They blame their empty dining rooms on a dearth of loyalty,…

I’d give this weekend’s Greenville Avenue Trader Joe’s opening a disappointing 5 out of 10 on the dramameter. When the Ft. Worth location opened just over a year ago, I was all for freaking out and being prepared. I faked an illness to drive to Cowtown and fight the crowds…
There are at least 98 reasons why we’re excited about Glazed Donuts Works in Deep Ellum (2644 Elm St.) opening this Friday, but each one of these reasons is worth 27 Weight Watchers points, and since we drink a lot of our points, rationing for doughnuts puts us off-grid. So…
I had never been to a Trader Joe’s, but I thought I generally understood the concept: Before you go to your friend’s house for dinner, this is where you stop by and pick up a six pack of an IPA and some manner of fancy food bullshit so that your…

When I moved back to Dallas from New York last summer, I didn’t miss Manhattan much. But the first few times I had to visit Albertson’s or even Central Market, I experienced fits of nostalgia for the glory days of Zabar’s and Trader Joe’s. So with the grand opening today…

Lowest Greenville Avenue hasn’t been an easy place to run a bar or restaurant. The strip’s tainted past, punctuated by a violent July Fourth incident that ended in citations, arrests and more than a dash of pepper spray, has drawn the watchful eye of the Dallas City Council. The resulting…

Been to Louie’s lately? You know the place: bad parking, cash and AmEx only, expensive cans of beer, potentially surly waitresses and all that other fine stuff. Customers just either get the hole-in-the wall spot or they don’t. Whether or not you like cracker-like pizza crust and flavors (both culinary…
Urban Vineyard is not finished yet. The new downtown liquor store opened Friday with shelves sparsely filled and refrigerators not yet cold enough to chill the beer. But: It’s open. See also: This Week in Downtown Dallas, Urban Vineyard Begins its Quest to Keep You Fed and Buzzed Located at…

Yesterday I stood at the counter of the Green Grocer, yoga mat on my my shoulder, and ordered a smoothie with hemp seeds and almond milk listed as ingredients. Yes: I felt as weird as that sounds. I’m not a healthy eater. I’m a life-long burger addict, a lover of…

Surely, I have sinned. There can be no other explanation for my current predicament. That I’ve found myself in a rundown suburban strip mall might be punishment enough, but my immediate surroundings are actually hostile. The ambient temperature is searing and the air is thick and humid. It’s dark and…
