Bread Winners Café & Bakery has been the church of brunch in Dallas since 1994. So when the question comes up: “What do you want for dinner?” Bread Winners may not be the first place to pop in your noggin, even though they’ve been serving dinner for almost as long as they’ve been open. Deprogramming of that brunchie brain will start once you set your eyeballs on Adam Kovac’s new Fall dinner menu, already available. Continue reading

In the world of appetizers it takes quite a bit to excite me. Beyond the typical fare you might see on the top side of the menu such as calamari, deviled eggs and a plethora of hackneyed charcuterie plates, I am always happy to set sites on a fantastic bit of foie torchon after having actually attempted to create my own in the past. I can appreciate the labor intensive subtleties of a great torchon and will go out of my way to order one when spotted.
That said, it is difficult to find an exemplary set of appetizers on a menu. This is not a blanket indictment of every menu found in Dallas, just a slight generalization. You see, it is often times I am not in for a full meal deal, but rather a glass of beer or wine and a few starters while perched at a restaurant’s bar.

What is there not to love about the Greeks? They brought us the Olympics and ouzo.
And do not forget the flaming cheese called the saganaki, which sounds more like a Japanese shooter than the table-side flambeed haloumi. This little appetizer is always festive and gives us a reason to shout “Opa!” at the top of our lungs as it’s set ablaze then doused with lemon juice.
The Greeks also brought us the gyro, which is sliced meat nestled warmly on a round of pita, dotted with tomato and onion and served with a side of tzatziki sauce, the cool cucumber and yogurt concoction. Continue reading
