First Look: HG Sply Co.

DSC07734by Steven Doyle

HG Sply Co. opens for dinner service beginning tomorrow, May 21, 2013, and Dallas will finally get a taste of Paleo. After sampling several of the dishes during pre-opening festivities the word ‘diet’ should hardly come into play. The restaurant is made up of ingredients that have actually been hunted and gathered from neighboring farms and ranches, a practice performed by many new, up and coming restaurants in our area.

The restaurant takes advantage of the original charm of the building after having stripped away the sheetrock and years of abuse, exposing a beautiful and rugged patina.         Continue reading →

A Visit To Barwachi In Addison Spawns An Indian Cuisine Conversation

DSC07727by Steven Doyle

I am a sucker for an Indian restaurant, and love trying new ones that I spot along my merry way. Often times I have dinner remorse, or worse, dinner regret. Last night while zooming through Addison I spotted for the fifth time an Indian restaurant that has actually been in business since November, but it blended into the landscape a bit next to the Chili’s with its outlandish new makeover and glowingly bright paint job.

Barwachi Signature Indian Cuisine is part of a local family of restaurants that spread out as far as Denton, with an outpost in Plano and Carrollton. This also happens to be the very beautiful former Clay Pit location in Addison on Beltline. I was never a fan of the Indian fusion that was going on at Clay Pit, and avoided it other than a few sporadic family summits that were hosted at the now closed restaurant. I walked into Barwachi with much trepidation.  Continue reading →

First Look: Asian Delights Cafe

Sambal Belachanby Andrew Chalk

We checked in at Asian Delights Cafe last night, the Malaysian Restaurant that opened in Plano just the day before. Consistent with the orient being mysterious the place was almost impossible to find. Having not, no sign, but somebody else’s above the door! Fortunately, the plastic “Grand Opening” banner steered us in. The marquee recognition and sign arrive next week and then the good news will be plentiful parking just a few doors down from Kroger.  Continue reading →

“Malt” to Open In Old Truluck’s Addison Location

Trulucks1by Steven Doyle

Way back in October we broke the news that Truluck’s was shuttering in Addison after a long and successful run in that space. The reason was not due to lack of business, the successful micro-chain is growing. It was more about an expensive lease renewal.

Today we learn that the new tenants that have been remodeling the very large space will name the casual concept “Malt”. We have little information on what the restaurant will offer at this time, but we heard that it will not be extremely heavy on alcohol. With a name like malt we were hoping to see a scotch bar go in, or the very least a high end brew pub which that section of Dallas is sorely lacking.    Continue reading →

Mot Hai Ba Brings Northern Vietnamese Cuisine To Lakewood

Mot Hai Ba.jpgby Steven Lindsey

One, Two, Three, Pho. If it’s dark outside, you won’t be eating Pho. At least not when Mot Hai Ba (pronounced mo’oht high bah and translates to “one, two, three”) opens today.

That’s because the flavorful soup is never served at dinner in Vietnam. And it’s that kind of authenticity that Jeana Johnson & Colleen O’Hare (Goodfriend Beer Garden and Burger House, Good 2 Go Taco) plan to infuse into everything at their newest venture.

Well, except maybe the French wines and Belgian beers. That’s more a tradition-in-the-making.    Continue reading →

Party Is At Dish Tonight

Patio Party Launch_Blast_finalby Steven Doyle

Patios are the rage in Dallas; covered patios even more so once temps bust the century mark. You can imagine how excited I became when I heard that Dish gussied up their patio. I was at Dish for brunch this past Sunday and it looked fab. Now there is a party to celebrate.         Continue reading →
