A second location for Fernando’s, a TexMex restaurant that opened at Northwest Hwy and Midway in 2005, has opened. The new Fernando’s is located up top of Travis Walk Shopping Center on Travis near Knox.
We set out on Christmas Eve with a large group to sample the new restaurant’s brunch and to take advantage of the bottomless mimosa situation that costs a mere buck. They were free until the recent flack with the TABC. Seems TABC doesn’t like brunch. Or free mimosas. Continue reading

Thought to come from more humble roots in a time where food waste was non-existent, old slices of bread were rejuvenated in an egg wash and fried to a crisp enjoyment, much like we would serve this today.

We stopped in Addison’s Flippin’ Out crepery today to check out some of the new items that chef Scott Hoffner had been making and were really pleased to see such a vast selection of crepes available.
Hoffner is a graduate of Johnson & Wales and was previously the Chef de’ Cuisine at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. His current duties also include being the personal chef to Dallas Maverick player Tyson Chandler, which he has named a crepe for. The Chandler is roasted chicken smothered with spinach, mushrooms & creamy bacon cheese sauce ($7.20). Pair this with your own wine, Flippin’ Out is BYOB. Continue reading

There is little doubt you have seen culinary sculptures in your life time, those made of ice and even melons. But have you seen sculpture in butter? Sharon BuMann does just that for many state fairs across the country, including the Texas State Fair. She has been having her way with butter since 1994. We sat down with a few toast points, jam and the butter lady for a few questions. Continue reading
