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.

Cow Tipping Creamery to open in East Dallas: Cow Tipping Creamery is slated to open in the old Cultivar Coffee space inside Good 2 Go Taco.

According to Cane Rosso and Zoli’s (R.I.P) owner, Jay Jerrier, via a press release: “Late last year we met and fell in love with the team from Cow Tipping in Austin. They run a beloved food truck on the campus of UT Austin. They had an amazing product and incredible passion – but needed help to take their business to the next level. Surprisingly, I decided I just wasn’t getting fat enough from eating Neapolitan and NY Style pizza…so we decided that ice cream was the only way for me to push maximum density. We think Dallas is going to love this ice cream – unique soft serve flavors, scratch made toppings, unique treats, shakes, cones and their glorious, glorious stackers (Sundaes with toppings layered throughout).”

As for an opening date? “We’re working to get a ‘go live’ timeline together this week – but we hope to be open very soon.”

Julia Pearl Southern Cuisine now open for brunch: Newly opened comfort food restaurant, Julia Pearl Southern Cuisine, is now serving brunch. Menu items include house-made biscuits with jam or sausage gravy; a fruit parfait with yogurt, granola, and Texas honey; and fried catfish with cheese grits and scrambled eggs. Brunch is available every Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The restaurant features a vibrant, yet comfortable atmosphere where guests can expect great service and refined, casual food. Warm tones, exposed brick and wood accented interiors will bring high-energy to the spacious restaurant.”
