This weekend, it looks like Dallas will enjoy some indulgent brunch, stuff their faces courtesy of some of our favorite stops and double fist with a glass of wine or pint of beer. Then again, that happens every weekend. Cheers to a city that likes consistency and takes celebrating the weekend very seriously.
Friday, August 8th
Asador concludes their Summer Harvest Dinner Series tonight at 6:30 pm with dishes like Roasted Tenderloin and Antelope Short Ribs paired with wine, beer or cocktails. If you didn’t purchase all three dinners at the start, don’t fret because you can still get a seat for $60 by calling 214-267-4815.
Free wine? That’s music to my ears. Head to Cork from 6 to 8 pm for a free wine tasting from Dunstan Wines and meet the Durrell Vineyard Ambassador with the winery, Jim Kuhner. Sip on a selection of Dunstan Rosé, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir in addition to PIP Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Find your favorite and take it home for another night or keep the shenanigans going.
Swiss Pastry Shop likes to keep hitting us with innovative burger concoctions and I thank them for that. Starting today you can get a goat burger special dubbed the “hamburguesa de chivo.” Windy Hills Farms goat, mole poblano, cojita cheese and pickled red onion, get at me.
Saturday August 9th
So & So’s will launch a new brunch starting today, meaning you can start early and settle down for the long haul through the night.

Slices from Greenville Avenue Pizza Company are already hard to resist, but when they team up with a local charity I just can’t say no. In their second annual Slices for Supplies, GAPCo asks customers to bring in one school supply item in exchange for a slice of their cheese pizza, plus one topping. In addition, they will collect donations through the night to purchase supplies that teachers and students are in need of at the beginning of the second semester of school. All supplies and donations will go directly to the teachers at DISD school, Ignacio Zaragoza Elementary. Stuff your face and do a good deed from 6 pm to 8 pm.
