Over 60 Addison restaurants will be serving samples and light bites while bands like Rhett Miller & The Serial Lady Killers rip up the stage. There’s a flair bartending competition, taste showcase [...]
Former Dallas Star and all-around good guy Mike Modano will be at The Stand on June 2 from 2pm – 4pm. The casual hot dog spot is hosting an Mini-Hot Dog Eating contest and Mo will be there to “cheer on contestants and possible chow down on some mini-hot dogs as well.” You can register [...]
Remember how I was really looking forward to Coolhaus Ice Cream Truck coming to Dallas? Well, I trekked all the way to the Valley View Center in Plano on Saturday to check out the TX Food Truck Fest, because I knew Coolhaus – with its glorious selection of cookies and ice cream – would be [...]
This guy sure asks a lot of questions for a guy from Austin. Here is his scenario:
Two couples are driving from Austin to Dallas this Saturday, returning Monday. Three of the four of us grew up in Dallas. Typically, our visits are consumed with family obligations and aging parents. Not this weekend. We’re coming to [...]
I’m a sucker for birds. So is Mexican artist Luis Sottil. You may have seen his work in other Mi Cocina restaurants: he currently has paintings in six other restaurants. The mural at the new Mi Cocina in Lakewood, in the old Matt’s space, is scheduled to open in July. Sottill uses only natural pigments [...]
The Bolsa Mercado team is whipping up a four course dinner for a good cause on Thursday, May 17 at 7 PM.

I’m not sure what I bought that landed me on the list of people who receive this catalog at home, but when I start showing up to work in karate pajamas, you’ll know why.

My taco buddy José Ralat-Maldonado (aka Taco Trail) is crazy about Rock and Roll Tacos, and he reports that owner James Quiñonez is taking over LaGrange’s kitchen and revamping the restaurant to become more serious about its tacos. José writes:
For one, he’s installing the bed of a 1954 Chevy pickup truck converted into a salsa bar with [...]
I sit very close to ShopTalk’s Raya Ramsey, so I know how good she smells. Even her desk smells like flowers and rainbows. Anyways, that bit of randomness has nothing to do with the fact that Raya will be at DISH this Wednesday for a little cocktail competition as a “guest bartender.” Try the drink [...]
Listen up all of you people who don’t mind recycling or rescuing, we’ve got a situation we need to discuss. A SideDish reader brings up the “green tax” charged for take-out containers at Velvet Taco.
I had lunch at Velvet Taco for the first time today. When we ordered, we noticed on the menu [...]
One of our new summer interns, Teo Soares, loves beer, so we sent him off on his first assignment to the 2nd Annual North Texas Beer Festival. Looks like he survived.

Our spring intern Becca Brooks attended a delightful Central Market lunch as an invited guest on Friday. She files this report.
I had lunch in Paris today. I couldn’t see the Eiffel Tower or smell fresh macarons from the boulangerie, but Central Market gave me the French fix I’ve been longing for.
If you haven’t stopped at [...]
D Magazine intern Michelle Saunders is moving on to bigger and better opportunities, so this will be her last recipe… for now. Last week she brought you these (un)healthy Mexican chocolate cupcakes, and this week she conquers breakfast.
I made this for Mother’s Day brunch, and my non-vegetarian mother enjoyed it immensely. Using bananas as [...]
