Dancing, burlesque and drag shows are all good things, especially when they can be found in the same place. Add some bomb ass drinks and good grub to boot, then it’s officially surpassed good times and made its way to epic.

Recently, Don’t Tell not so quietly introduced their new menu. It kicks off with shareable Opening Acts like Smoked Yellowtail Sashimi, citrusly married with grapefruit segments, sliced jalapenos, cucumbers and avocado puree.

Brisket Enchiladas at Kenny’s Smokehouse
It’s not a stretch to say that Kenny’s Concepts seems a little bit incapable of screwing up their grub. At least that’s my consensus. Every Tuesday Kenny’s Smokehouse, located in the Shops at Legacy in Plano is now rolling up something extra special: Brisket Enchiladas. If you’re a little skeptical, ignore it and prepare your palate for unexpected Texas greatness. Served three to a plate with a side salad, these things are like three smoky, meaty, saucy wrapped tender brisket blankets. They’ve got a tiny bit of heat and a tiny bit of sweetness from the barbecue sauce. Finally, they round out with the tender salty smokiness of the brisket.…

Going Totally Texan and Tacos at By the Horns Brewing
The greatest tacos ever to grace a greasy shell in DFW are almost always found inside an unsuspecting gas station. This is Texan knowledge 101.

CFF Main Event Recap 2018
Patiently waiting in line to meet up with my devouring destiny, I struck up a conversation with a couple. “We look forward to this event every year,” she happily exclaimed. Though they’d been tempted to attend other grubby galas around town, The Main Event for Chefs for Farmers ALWAYS got their coins. Once again, it was money well spent. Held at the historic Dallas Heritage Village for the first time, this year appetites were allured by a variety of delicious bites but wagyu beef took center stage. Some took a traditional approach to the tender meat, but others went a cut above, like the Wagyu Beef Gyro Airbread or the…

The Victory of Tiny Victories
Tiny Victories – 5 Stars The same place you can sip a Sazerac is the same place you can swig My Neck, My Daq. Mix 2 parts hip hop hipster, 1 part swank then round it out with the neighborhood bar, shake it up and you’ll pour out Tiny Victories. Just a few skips from the Bishop Arts District, Tiny Victories is part of the changing face of Oak Cliff. It cannot be denied that gentrification has taken up residency in the Cliff, yet with a slight eye roll and clenched teeth, dare I say a few jewels have erected throughout the process. Tiny Victories is one of them.…
