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. […]
Without great service, we don’t really care how delicious the food may be at a particular restaurant. It’s always a consideration when we recommend a spot for Brunch of the Week (or any restaurant review we post here), but sometimes the service is so above-and-beyond that we genuinely take notice. Such has been the case on every visit we’ve ever […]
Anyone who’s spent even a little amount of time with us knows that we’re not big fans of full-service chain restaurants. (Even though every seven years we sneak into Outback Steakhouse for a Bloomin’ Onion all to ourselves.) Trying our best to be open-minded in all things, we realize that sometimes chain restaurants can be every bit as good as […]
For years, our friends from the northern territories of Dallas-Fort Worth have begged us to try Mexican Sugar. And for years, we’ve decided going to actually Mexico is almost as fast as getting to a restaurant in far north Plano. (We’re kidding, of course, but only partially.) Well, this past weekend we decided to finally dust off the old Toll […]
In most of Asia, breakfast is simply a time of day more than a specific type of food. You’ll often find locals eating exactly what they would for lunch or dinner, unlike America where we have very distinct ideas of what the morning meal looks like. At Asian Mint, chef Nikky Phinyawatana wanted to create a brunch menu that reflects true […]
We can hardly think of a single party for a 10-year-old we would ever want to attend. We barely wanted to go to our own when we chalked up our first decade on earth because most 10-year-olds are weirdos. Our tune has changed, however, thanks to a celebration for Ocean Prime Dallas, which has also turned 10. From now until […]
Get ready for mass pandemonium, people—Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. Therefore, it’s safe to expect reservations to be tough to get all over the city simply because nobody wants to piss off Cupid. But we stumbled upon a laidback alternative for anyone seeking something a little different. At Saint Rocco’s New York Italian at Trinity Groves, they’re […]
