Tough. Hairy. Not afraid to cut the nuts off a bull. Man, we really miss seeing our mom right now. But funny enough, those are also the traits of a typical Texas cowboy and there’s a legendary beverage that many call their favorite: Ranch Water. You know, the super-refreshing, delightfully strong mixture of tequila, Topo Chico and lime. Well, now […]

The Dallas restaurant scene will never be the same again. That’s a fact, but not necessarily one that signifies only doom and gloom. Restaurants have really impressed us with innovating new ways to satisfy our hunger and thirst and keep everyone safe, too. As some restaurants opened their patios and dining rooms to 25% capacity in recent days, we’ve been […]
If we never have to see another styrofoam container, we’ll be happy forever. But for now, getting delicious meals to-go will be the only way we can get a break from meal prep. And despite our trashy family tree, we’ve about run out of casserole recipes. That’s why last week we temporarily retired our Brunch Of The Week feature and […]
Opening a restaurant during a pandemic — and citywide shut-down of dining rooms — should make Khanh Nguyen seem like a crazy person. Instead, we actually think he’s psychic. Because long before all this COVID stuff changed our lives, he had a vision of a take-out-and-delivery-only location in the gayborhood of his popular local pizza chain, ZaLat. Known for offering […]
We’ve already written a few different stories about ways to help local businesses out during this time of self-isolation and social distancing. Among the hardest hit right now, of course, are restaurants. Most of us have been supporting our regular haunts, but it can be a bit of an investigation to find all the restaurants in the neighborhood that are […]
Man, that photo brings back memories of Easter as a kid. Not because our parents were big drinkers, but because we grew up in West Texas they would hide decorated jalapeños in the yard for us to gather. Not only did we learn how to make great salsa instead of deviled eggs like all the other kids, but it also […]
Who’s ready to go to the Crossroads for a burger, beer and a little flirting? We know we’re dying to get back out, but the gayest place for us right now is on the other side of the mirror—staring back at us with so much fruitiness we can hardly stand it. And we’re tired of looking at that guy! Of […]
We have a drinking ritual when we go to Mexico beach towns. Whether we’re in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo or Cancun, we always start our vacation with a Miami Vice (half piña colada, half strawberry daiquiri). But after that, we’re All Chelada All The Time. In some Mexican destinations, the beer-lime-and-salt-over-ice concoction is called a Chelada. In some regions, it’s called […]
With restaurant dining rooms closed, food delivery will be a main connection with the outside world for the foreseeable future. Because we can only enjoy home cooking for so long. The good news, every major delivery service out there will let you have breakfast and brunch items delivered, coupled with alcohol delivery options from many, there’s no reason you can’t […]
How good is the food? How strong are the drinks? Will they let us drink hollandaise with a straw? Normally these questions take priority when determining our Brunch of the Week selection, but in the case of Katy Trail Ice House, it’s all about the eye candy on parade. As luck would have it, the food here’s pretty great, too. […]
