Real Housewives of Dallas Season Nine.


God: Brunch is cancelled now, forever.


New restaurant opening; no valet parking.


Pecan Lodge has no more brisket.


Take the High Five to LBJ.


Unfortunately, the margarita machine is broken.


Let’s say Concrete Cowboy for drinks.


Selena Gomez performs in Deep Ellum.


It’s time for Texas OU Weekend.


Big Tex blinks. He is awoken.


Thanks for driving the Trinity Tollway.


Six story apartments in Oak Cliff.


Ma’am, every mimosa has a bottom.


All the fried food is people.
