Damn we love tacos. We just saw the Taco of the Week over at Velvet Taco on Henderson in Dallas. Taste this: The Spicy Chicken Tikka Taco is crispy chicken strips coated in a spicy tikka sauce placed on a bed of buttery cilantro basmati rice and finished with raita sauce and thai basil.
I know what’s for lunch today.

Nick and Sam’s is one of our very favorite steakhouses in Dallas. In the city of big beef chef Samir Dhurandhar has a magical touch of quality and adherence to old world doting service. This is the land of where modern pharaohs dine.

This is the affordable concept by Phil Romano and Joseph Palladino. Romano is of course Fuddruckers, Eatzi’s, Macaroni Grill, and a few other popular dining spots.
The Grill is meant for an every day dining experience with all entrees well under $20. The menu was written by corporate executive chef Samir Dhurandhar. This is the same Samir that dotes and proffers caviar by the spoonful at the steakhouse. Continue reading
