Massive chalkboards line either side of the space, listing in bold white letters, a multitude of vegetables. The eatery is clean, open, and earthy. If nature had a kitchen, this is what it would feel like. For their official grand opening, the new Farmers Market restaurant, Mudhen Meat and Greens hosted a fundraiser benefiting The Bridge, a homeless recovery center. During the event guests had the opportunity to taste a few of the farm fresh options being dished out daily. The collard spring rolls had a spontaneous rhythm which mixed crispy textures from the cabbage and carrots with slick kelp noodles and creamy avocado with a tart, sweet vinaigrette. Kale…
Iron Fork 2016 Recap
Bigger, better and more food than ever, Iron Fork 2016 simply salivated this year. In case you missed it, here’s a look back at this year’s event.
A Glimpse at the First Course
DFW Restaurant Week:First Course You know you’ve entered a happy place when there are good hearted people walking around with trays of lollipops, but not just any kind of lollipops. Bacon wrapped venison lollipops stuffed with jalapeño, smoked mozzarella and molasses. After chomping down on one, you realize you’re not just in a happy place, but foodvana. The second annual DFW Restaurant Week: First Course kickoff party was an event of taste tenacity this year. Guests gathered last Thursday evening to partake in a variety of delicious samples from local eateries while enjoying clever cocktails, live music, and art. A portion of the proceeds from the taste bud teasing shindig…
Cheese Charming at Dallas Grilled Cheese Co.
Dallas Grilled Cheese Co. TXmb Rated 4.8 Stars When was the last time you or your mom made one? Grabbed a couple of spongey soft slices of simplistic white bread, smoothed butter on all four sides, topped them off with 4 slivers of good ole fashioned American Cheese, slapped it all together in a cast iron skillet and started the process of grilling some cheese. For me it’s been ages, probably somewhere around middle school to be exact. You know that time in life you know everything, including the best way to concoct the world’s greatest grilled cheese. To my 13-year-old self I can officially say, ‘You know nothing of…
When Cheesecake was Born in Dallas
Chunky cookies crumble away into a food processor, creating a smooth brown crunchy mix. Butter is added and the mix becomes even smoother. Later, he grinds up a few more cookies and mixes them into a creamy batter that my eyes salivate over. Sprinkling a few of the crushed cookies into the mix, he continues to stir. Before long, the cheesecake blend will make its way inside tiny jars, around 3.5 ounces, just enough to satiate the sweet tooth, even if you are watching your figure. The mastermind behind the mixer is Valery Jean-Bart, one of the founders of Val’s Cheesecake. Val, uses a tiny wooden spoon to taste the…

Memories of Brewfest Blissfulness 2013
Brewfest 2013 Brewfest is just around the corner and clearly this kid can’t wait. Take a gander at my short recap from 2013. Please note, it was written after having consumed quite a bit of brew. Thanks. Yet again Brewfest was some kind of wonderful. Beer lovers could not have possibly been disappointed at the third annual event held in Dallas Arts District. Plenty of tasty brews, a wee bit of food, good music and whole lot of shenanigans made for a colossal evening. Plenty of folks came out sporting their tip top suds attire. A few found a way to accessorize their outfits with a tasteful beer can necklace.…
Fourth Year of Flavor @ Iron Fork
Iron Fork 2014 Last night’s Iron Fork event could be summed up in a few words; foodtastic boozelosity epicness. This year’s Iron Fork was held in Fair Park inside the Centennial Hall. The fourth annual event did not disappoint, giving folks a few good tastes of Texas, rather fine elixirs to wash it down with and a showdown of chefs hosted by the famous Kent Rathbun. This year was all about the taco, as several eateries whipped up their versions of the shelled delights. Vickery Park served up a juicy filling chicken taco that left me plate picking. Luna’s also went the way of the taco with fresh cilantro, onions…
The Summer Calls for Mamamango
Mamamango-Rated 5 stars TxmB The most important person in Texas you will ever meet is the pool keeper. Yes, this is a made up term, but it applies, bear with me. If you are indeed a person that lives in Texas, you are aware of the heat, yes? And if you are a person that lives in Texas who does not have a pool you become 900% more aware of the situation. Smart people without pools know, you have to be cordial and wonderful to at least five people with pools, hence the term pool keeper. Five is a good number because it gives you options. Upon trying to charm…
The Shells of Enticement at Good 2 Go Taco
Good 2 Go Taco-Rated 4.8 Stars TXmb When the passionate throws of taco desire consume your stomach, choices must be made. You must ask yourself, what it is you are looking for in said taco, breakfast delight or lunch love. How much am I willing to spend on said taco? And finally, how are we feeling about the salsa factor here, important or nah? Good 2 Go Taco feels hidden. It doesn’t stand out and say, “Look at me Texas, I’m a taco joint.” Rather, this place smiles and teases from a distance without making bold assumptions of itself. I found them on a random hungered morning. Around 8:30am or…
