Hypnotic Donuts Invites Cheese-Beer Maven To Create A Special Chicken Biscuit

by Steven Doyle

Ali Kay Hammer is back on our radar again, this time the Scardello cheese monger is getting her biscuit on at Hypnotic Donuts on Garland Road in East Dallas. If you recall, just a week ago Ali was rocking the Peticolas house during their first anniversary with her wedding to the beer Velvet Hammer.

Beginning tomorrow and at least through the end of the month of January, you can experience what it is like in Ali’s mouth by ordering her version of the chicken biscuit. This is an ongoing program at Hypnotic and there have been more than a few fun versions of the chef driven biscuit since owner James St. Peter decided to invite chefs to play in his wacky kitchen once a month. Last month we all enjoyed The Grape owner Brian Luscher’s homemade sausages in a bun, this month we see what Ali has to offer. Continue reading →

Common Table Has Real Honest-To-Goodness Poutine

by Steven Doyle

The search for poutine in Dallas has been arduous at best. But this week we learn that it takes a village to make the ethereal and savory dish known by all in Canada as their national dish.

The staff at craveDFW aren’t the only ones stymied by the fact that it is so difficult to find something seemingly simple in a city as large as Dallas. Scardello Cheese monger Ali Morgan has been equally pining away for the dish for quite sometime after she made a cheese trek to Canada. Continue reading →

On Pure Ground Producing Ali’s Bacon Bliss

by Steven Doyle

We have missed Ali Morgan sending in her weekly picks of her favorite cheeses, but in her defense the girl has been insanely busy. While she is out spreading the curd about cheeses people are listening. She is now responsible for many cheese boards you will find across the city.

In fact, we just spoke with chef David Anthony Temple (that’s DAT to you and me), he said he plans to feature Ali’s top picks each week at the yet-to-open Mason Bar. One of the picks that will be featured weekly is Ali’s very own bacon-goat cheese that she created called Ali’s Bacon Bliss and is now being produced by On Pure Ground Dairy in a cool collaboration.
