There’s not always enough time in the day to skim a lengthy, re-worded press release that’s been stamped with “breaking” or “exclusive.” And some stories don’t warrant an entire page of prose. Each week we’ll gather the most important tidbits of Dallas food news and post them here, on SideDish. Because sometimes all you need is the scoop.
Unleavened Fresh Kitchen to open: Lakewood residents, Scott Piland and Tom Dynan, are opening Unleavened Fresh Kitchen this fall. The fast-casual restaurant has a website, and well, not much else at this point. I reached out earlier this week, here’s what I was told: “Young-ish (in their ’30s) guys with hospitality backgrounds, Scott Piland and Tom Dynan…in a nutshell, it is a fast-casual restaurant that will focus on fresh, wholesome and well-sourced ingredients offered as a wrap or salad. Opening late September. Additional patio seating outside. Will serve beer and wine. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hoping to be a true neighborhood spot for local families, residents and those who work in the area as well.” Unleavened Fresh Kitchen is located at 1900 Abrams Parkway.
