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.
Lakewood Smokehouse to open in December: Lakewood Smokehouse is slated to open next month at 1901 Abrams Road in the space previously occupied by Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill. According to the release: “Bringing Lakewood this new BBQ concept are Partners/Owner Operators, Jason Hall (who owns 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House in Frisco), John Pantenburg, and Mike Mullen who have been friends and co-workers in the restaurant industry for 20 years. Lakewood Smokehouse plans to serve classic BBQ offerings such as brisket, smoked turkey and sausages with an array of sides like macaroni and cheese, fried okra, green beans and potato salad. Patrons to Lakewood Smokehouse can expect the same quality and delicious BBQ that has made 3 Stacks a household name in Frisco, with a few exciting additions. Unlike the casual line-service most BBQ establishments employ, Lakewood Smokehouse will be a full-service restaurant.”

Texas is first state to carry Suji’s Korean Cuisine: According to the release: “To spearhead the national launch and roll-out of Suji’s Korean Cuisine, a line of true-to-the-culture prepared meals, entrées, and sauces, Texas became the first state, and Costco the first retailer, to address the rapidly growing interest in Korean cuisine, starting with the deliciously spicy Beef Bulgogi, a dish featuring thinly sliced meat marinated in a blend of spices and soy sauce.
