Far East Pizza Co Sounds Amazing

A North Texas Asian-inspired pizzeria opens up in the Richardson area for delivery and pick-up only. 

Like most immigrants, Far East Pizza Co. owner & chef Nidhi Mittal moved to the States for “a better life for her family.” Mittal and her husband ran a little deli inside a business building serving mostly the tenants and once the pandemic happened, they had to change the course. She reached out to Chef Troy Gardner of TLC Vegan Kitchen and with his help, they crafted a menu blending Mittal’s favorite Indian recipes and American Italian dishes.

Tango Frogs Return

For six years, the late Texas artist Bob “Daddy-O” Wade’s beloved “Tango Frogs” — a collection of three 10-foot-tall frog sculptures perched atop Taco Cabana’s former Dallas Greenville location — brought joy to Taco Cabana guests and passerby. Following the location’s closure earlier this year, several members of the Dallas community have begged the question, “what will happen to the frogs?” Today, Taco Cabana has officially announced their new home. 

Today, Taco Cabana will donate the “Tango Frogs” to the Truck Yard at 5624 Sears St. off Lowest Greenville Avenue in Dallas where they will take up permanent residence. The “Tango Frogs” will be prominently positioned atop the popular beer garden’s roof facing Sears St., welcoming visitors to the venue.
