Hanging Out in Preston Royal in Dallas: The Chicken Coop and Gazebo Burgers

Last night I sorta dined around Preston Royal Shopping Center, home of my crack house, Pinkberry. I explored all four quadrants of the center. I popped in Nothing But Bundt Cakes a chain dedicated to, well, nothing but variations of bundt cakes. It is a very cheery spot and I only tasted the chocolate chocolate chip drizzled with cream cheese frosting. Then I stopped into Gazebo Burgers and ordered one of their ginormous grilled chicken sandwiches with grilled onions and honey mustard.  I noticed that, across the parking lot from Gazebo Burgers,  a new spot, The Chicken Coop, is about to open next to Sushi Star. The logo looks franchise-y but a quick Google search didn’t turn up a link. (Go, Kirk.)  I parked in front of Neuhaus Café and noticed they had a nice dinner crowd. Of course, Pinkberry was mobbed. Fourteen dollars and forty three cents later, I was bound for home. BTW, those chicken sandwiches at Gazebo are delicious. They are almost as good as the ones at Stan’s Blue Note.
