Brisket tacos in the morning. Burritos con huevos at night. When it comes to meals at E Bar Tex-Mex, you make all the rules. With breakfast items served all day, every day, brunch is as much a state of mind as it is a platter of eggs. Of course, for the true brunch experience, the East Dallas favorite offers $3 mimosas and […]
If we could have one genre of breakfast food for the rest of our existence, it would be in the Mexican milieu. Or Tex-Mex more specifically. Because really, doesn’t salsa make every egg dish better? So when we find a great spot for true Tex-Mex cooking, we get downright giddy. El Vecino has been a favorite of ours for lunch […]
We just got our lab work back from the doctor. Luckily, we had no STDs, our cholesterol was normal, and our testosterone is off the charts. (You’ve been warned, fellas!) But the results also showed that our body composition is now 17% breakfast tacos—which totally shocked us. We would’ve thought it was closer to 25%. That can all change this […]
For most of us, East Dallas means a trip to White Rock Lake. Or maybe the Dallas Arboretum. But if you venture a little further into Lake Highlands, you’ll find a real hidden gem: Cedar & Vine Community Kitchen + Cocktails. We first tried it for lunch and loved it so much we knew we needed to return for our […]
There’s nothing quite as soul-soothing on a late Sunday morning as a plateful of biscuits and gravy. Yeah, we know: Carby carb carb carb. And it’s not exactly haute cuisine, either. So pull your pinkies in and get ready to hold a coffee cup like a burly construction worker, because Barbec’s isn’t the kind of place you go for quiche […]
No Dallas homo is worthy of street cred if they haven’t eaten at the Original Market Diner on Harry Hines. The place is an institution and gayer than three silver-dollar pancakes. Yet its once-sister restaurant across town, Circle Grill, remains a secret to many. Now under new ownership, regulars won’t find that anything has changed a bit, except for maybe […]
Often we go to brunch because we’re hungover from the night before. Other times, brunch makes us hungover the next day. And then sometimes, it’s both. Fortunately, East Dallas hotspot The Lounge Here kicked off Sunday brunch last month and the glorious, retro, mostly windowless space is just as dark in the daytime as it is after sunset. Perfect for soothing a day-after […]
It doesn’t take a genius to slap a piece of meat between two slices of bread. But when it comes to the sandwiches at Goodfriend Package Store in East Dallas, we think the creators should be welcomed into Mensa immediately. Or at the very least, receive a Nobel Prize nomination for helping hungry diners in Dallas find sustenance. Not only […]
We’re shaking up our usual Fall routine. Normally, we use the cooler weather and body-hiding sweaters and jackets as an excuse to pack on a few pounds. It starts at the State Fair of Texas and continues through that last piece of leftover gingerbread washed down with champagne at 12:01 a.m. on New Year’s Day. This year, we’re going to […]
The problem with so many holiday shows is the lack of partial nudity, drag queens and tassel-twirling. It’s as if Christmas is “for the children” or something insane like that. But that’s not going to stop us from celebrating the season with a naughty little show performed by the gorgeous girls of Viva Dallas Burlesque. Festivus Follies is hosted by […]
