"If you start any dish with the proper technique and proper treatment of ingredients, the flavors will burst through. With that same philosophy at Restaurant Beatrice, we’re going even further back. We’re collectively starting this entire restaurant with a new kind of consciousness."

InIn the last handful of years, Bishop Arts has become one of the hottest neighborhoods in Dallas. Its appeal lies in being one of the city’s few truly walkable neighborhoods and its small size — being there feels like being in a private party and the people watching is top notch.

Only Tuesday, July 5, the Dallas Cowboys rolled out an announcement that the team would partner with Salt Lake City’s Black Rifle Coffee Company, which styles itself as “America’s coffee,” to give away tickets to a home game and a year of access to the company’s coffee subscription.

Chef Michael Arlt and owner Dustin Lee opened the Beast & Company in Fort Worth’s Near Southside District with a mission to create a menu of Southern dishes that showcase the roots of those meals.

When John Tesar opened Knife at the Highland Dallas Hotel in 2014, it was an idea built around steak, to celebrate the science of dry-aging and cooking the perfect plate. But Knife has always been about more than steak. Tesar appreciates a steakhouse that serves great rack of lamb, pastas, salads, and roast chicken because, as he tells us, you can’t eat steak seven days a week.

A restaurant is only as good as its kitchen: That’s the motto shared by chef Curtis Stone and his protege and executive chef at Georgie, Christian Dortch. They’ve been working on the menu at Georgie, one of Dallas’s premiere (and most expensive) steakhouses, which changes nearly constantly.

Being outside in North Texas in the summer feels like standing on the surface of the sun. The impulse to cool down has the whole city guzzling fizzy waters and frozen drinks, eating cold noodles, and, of course, trying to find the most delicious ice cream. But the way we eat ice cream isn’t actually conducive to cooling down.

This eight-episode comedy series uses the framework of Child’s start as a TV personality to tell a small part of her story. In portraying the show within the show, the series runs into its first challenge: getting a modern audience to buy into what makes Julia Child so charming to the public in 1963 after we’ve long been conditioned to far more gregarious chef shows.

"Do you wanna get rocked?" That's the surprising question that kicks off Def Leppard's 1992 album Adrenalize.

If the coming vibe shift brings us into a period where indie sleaze rules supreme, Charli XCX stands to take the throne at the top of the pops, finally.

When I first mentioned writing a podcast about murder ballads to people—spoiler: it actually happened, it’s called Songs in the Key of Death, and it’s out now—I would invariably get one of three responses. Most common: What’s a murder ballad?

There has been an explosion of interest since the New York City Department of Education began rolling out Vegan Friday meals for students. Pundits are rushing to the nearest microphone to yell about it.
