Randy Hu, one of the guys behind this new boba truck business, emailed me an hour ago to tell me about Bobaddiction. He wondered if I’d be interested in a story about bubble tea, a Taiwanese tea-based drink that started in Taichung. Recipes for it consist of fruit, milk, tea, and tapioca balls that can [...]
Every week or so, I get another email about Dishcrawl. I think this means it’s doing quite well. Another Dishcrawl thingy is happening on Tuesday, May 28, at 7 p.m. If you buy a ticket for $75, you’ll get to eat from three great restaurants under the span of 3 hours: Mesa, Bolsa, and Boulevardier. Only [...]
I would just like to take this time, again, to remind you all that D Magazine’s 100 Best Restaurants Party is taking place on Wednesday, May 22, at 3015 Trinity Groves. This is your once-in-a-lifetime chance of pieing Nancy in the face. Do ittttt. Friday Every year Addison upstages all the other suburbs and holds its [...]
Word comes that Justin Holt isn’t done with his ramen pop-up shops. He’s doing another one this Saturday at Ten Bells Tavern. Just a little over a week ago, Teresa Gubbins posted on CultureMap that the Lucia-turned-Driftwood chef decided he would take a break from mass-producing his noodles in disposable bowls. But the ambitious man [...]
Happy Friday, SideDishers! What tasty foods did you eat and where did you dine this week? Tell us the good, bad, and the ugly.Here’s what you wrote last week.
Who could do such a thing. Hear the folks at Hypnotic Donuts cry: REWARD!!! Our beloved Baby Donut Pillow has gone missing…since Sunday, May 12th. BDP has been a part of our Hyppie family long before we opened our White Rock location. As seen in this picture with a young Hyppie, BDP is about 14” [...]
I don’t understand the appeal of celebrity wine but I’m, once again, in the minority. A couple of days ago Jasper Russo of Sigel’s sent word that the store had a limited supply of Miraval Cotes de Provence Rose 2012 bottled by Jolie-Pitt & Perrin. He writes: Do you love rosé wine? Do you love [...]
Feisty executive chef Najat Kaanache is digging in her heels and staying in the kitchen of Private Social. Kaanache is in the process of putting together a new Awesome Texas Food menu which she will debut next week. I reached Kaanache this morning and we chatted about some of her ideas. This gal, who writes [...]
OK. No more teasing. You’re not surprised. The best BBQ joint in the world is only four years old. It’s @franklinbbq — TMBBQ (@tmbbq) May 16, 2013
It’s too dreary outside for me to type. Or maybe I’m just using that as an excuse. Either way, I’m going to let Tait Lifto from Deep Ellum Brewing Co. take it away. He’s more eloquent about beer than I ever will be. “Announcing our 3rd annual Brew-B-Q and this year should be bigger than [...]
View Tx BBQ in a larger map Holy.. I am late on posting this, but Texas Monthly has released its list of Top 50 BBQ Joints in the great Lone Star State. Pretty incredible. This only happens every five years-ish. The last time they came out with a list, it was in 2008. There are [...]
The bout of colder temperatures at the beginning of the season has delayed the harvesting of some plants, unfortunately. That might mean fewer strawberries and other fruits, but also an extended season for leafy vegetables. Still, you should be able to find what you’re looking for this weekend, along with plenty of breads, honey, and [...]
Get a little taste of Charleston with this sweet dinner event happening on June 17. I’m still waiting for the day when Matt teams up with Oxheart’s Justin Yu. That food will be CRAY. WHAT: FT33 and Executive Chef and Owner Matt McCallister welcomes McCrady’s Chef de Cuisine, Jeremiah Langhorne, for a guest chef dinner [...]
Blah, blah, blah. I’ve already talked about Matthew Shelley once today, so I’m pretty sure I’ve hit my quota, but this email is too good not to share. You guys already (or should already) know that Matt writes the “Into Shelley’s Belly” column once a week. He’s also our I.T. tech guy. This morning, some [...]
Get your B-I-N-G-O gear ready, Dallas. Hypnotic Donuts is hosting Bingo nights every other Wednesday night, starting May 29. “Hypnotic is doing this because it is fun- that simple. We will have Bingo on Wednesday nights because it will be something to look forward to during the middle of the week,” says James St. Peter. He’s the same brilliant man [...]
