Whiskey Cake Comes to Irving
There’s whiskey and there’s cake. The name of this restaurant alone brings joy to my taste buds. Now, Whiskey Cake is spreading that whiskey soaked joy to Irving. The eatery recently opened their sixth location, finally providing the folks of Las Colinas with a little taste. With their latest location, you can still expect to be whisked away by their ever growing whiskey selection. For the grubbers that know, their deviled eggs are still a staple, with the ingredients changing often. One day their filled with smoked salmon, another topped off with fried chicken skin. It’s rather remarkable to know that a deviled egg can be so damn…

Whiskey Fest 2015 Recap
Whiskey Fest Shiny suits, big hair, white gogo boots, and cat eyes for days were some of the things you might count on seeing during the 1960s. An era of cool swank, with Sinatra as the soundtrack. During this year’s Dallas Whiskey and Fine Spirits Festival, it was all about traveling back to the cool with a bevy of boozy samples, gambling tables and the sounds of Ricki Dereck & the Vegas Six. Held at the Status Jet Hangar at Addison Airport, the entrance into Whiskey Fest (as always) did not disappoint. Two beautiful white and black flamingo feathered ladies stood posing with one of several BMW’s. Meanwhile, the night…

After checking my coat, I picked up one of the cute commemorative glasses filled with gaming money, and a drinking card. I’d been salivating over the idea of whiskey all day long, but first…
