Mid-December we checked out the just opened Oak in the Dallas Design District, and we have been back several times since and enjoyed dinner and on separate occasions fantastic cocktails. It has fast become the hottest ticket in town where reservations are definitely required if you are not interested in dining before six or after ten. Continue reading

We have been following Cane Rosso’s Jay Jerrier since his early days when he was subletting the space at Preston-Forest. He only had his mobile oven back then and made his pizza in the parking lot a few days a week. His product has come a long way since then, and he has enjoyed the adoration of all media.
His Neapolitan pizza is about as authentic as you will get in the country and sports that feather-light crust with slight marks from the heat of the oven and superior toppings. I think it is also fair to pronounce Jerrier “The King of all Media” as he is not camera shy and spends a good amount of his day working the social aspects with FaceBook and Twitter. Continue reading

We will probably be hearing more of these crop up, but there is an Anti-Valentine’s Day Party hosted by Frankie’s Sports Bar & Grill on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. This is where you celebrate your singleness with a bar full of other happy singles.
“Everybody knows love stinks and that Cupid is stupid,” said Bill Katz, owner of Frankie’s. This is why he is throwing this bash complete with free drinks for those who do not “heart” love, happy hour prices and drink specials that are not exactly welcoming to the little winged creature with love-tipped arrows.

Bev Garvin is a friend of craveDFW, a local social media buff and photographer who maintains a pretty cool local site called Urban Epicurious. Bev joins us to celebrate her top 10 favorite food porn moments of the recent past. We will run these over successive days so you may savor each bite.
I have to admit, I work myself into a frenzy and get weak in the knees when I know I’m going to have dessert. Like a crack whore in a crack den, I’m hopelessly addicted, and I’m completely powerless to resist basking in the afterglow of a decadent meal by indulging in something sweet and sublime. I eat dessert pretty much every time I get a chance (way more often than I should), because a really good one makes me swoon. Continue reading

Allow me to set the scene. It is 1966 and Sinatra just wailed the last notes of My Kind of Town. Count Basie and his Orchestra is playing clean up as the Chairman jogs off the stage at the Copa Room of the Sands Hotel in Vegas. More than likely Sinatra stumbles to the bar and slugs back a shot of Jack Daniels and lights a cigarette. The crowd disperses.
Chances are one of your distant relatives was there to witness the historic moment, and they follow the crowd out the door. Some head to the casino to spend your inheritance, while others filter through the buffet to take advantage of the 99-cent all-you-can-eat prime rib bar. Continue reading
