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.
The Palm to close: News came late last night that longstanding downtown Dallas steakhouse The Palm will permanently close on June 30 due to “recent events” that have left restaurant owners Wally Ganzi and Bruce Bozzi Jr. “concerned for the safety and welfare of [their] valued customers and staff.”
Nancy reached out to her sources at the restaurant but has yet to receive a statement.

To say they are moving because an event that happened a year ago—and could happen almost anywhere in this city—is a smoke screen.” Check out the full memo:
