Brunch is the backbone of the Dallas dining society. We have literally done 100’s of brunch stories on craveDFW and featured Chef Tre Wilcox from the Village Marquee Texas Grill last year. The Top Chef continues to update and improve his menus and most recently revamped his brunch offerings by adding spicier selections to reflect this city’s adoration for Texas flare.
The most outrageously wonderful dish you will find on the menu is the hang-over cure, the Hung Pig sandwich. This pile of pork includes Tre’s own sausage, BBQ pulled pork, bacon and a fried egg. The sandwich is juicy and satisfying and fulfills any bacon contract you may have had for the day. Continue reading

Sundays are awesome for several reasons: you can laze around, nurse the pain from the night before, and my personal favorite: Brunch! It had been awhile since I’ve stopped by Marquee Grill, a lady can only stay away for so long…. Continue reading

It’s Mother’s Day Weekend and the staff at craveDFW asked that I give a shout out to their mothers. They know who they are and we love you. Now take good care of mom, and we will too. As for me, I am going to check out Del Frisco is Dallas for their very first Mother’s Day Brunch. David Holben will no doubt take great care of our city full of moms.
If that isn’t your style there are plenty of options. Just flip back through old craveDFW stories. We have written a bajillion brunch stories. This is my way of saying… it’s happy hour.
Stop in next week where we will have several contests, fun stories, interviews and a look at a very awesome Fort Worth restaurant that I will demand you try. Night ya’ll.

Each day we try new restaurants, visit some standards and seek out the unusual. There are few times when a restaurant will elicit a gasp of excitement with its fresh take and uncanny execution. Oak is such a restaurant. Now we have one more reason to enjoy Oak: Brunch.
With out doubt no one enjoys brunch more than the people at craveDFW. Brunch is a holy time of reflection and art. The egg is a wondrous renewal to start the week, and you will soon see why with this photo essay by Desiree Espada. Continue reading

A graduate of California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, chef Dan Landsberg first moved to Dallas in 1996 when we was sent to open Fog City Diner, the stand-out building where Truluck’s now operates from. From Fog City Landsberg had a stint at Toscana where he worked with several other local chefs including Gilbert Garza (now owner of Suze) and David Holben (now corporate executive chef with the Del Frisco brand).
Several moves later including a run as executive chef at Stephan Pyles and the man responsible for revamping Tillman’s Roadhouse, Landsberg is using his vast imagination at ZaZa’s Dragonfly. There Landsberg has a creative outlet that flourishes and changes with each season. Continue reading

Born on the streets of Chicago, Primebar is situated on Cedar Springs next to the empty dwell of the Place At Perry’s, which has since moved on to larger digs just blocks away. The restaurant and bar enjoys costume changes throughout each day, making full use of the facility as a lunch haunt for nearby office traffic, happy hour for the tired and aimless, a dinner landing for the mixed neighborhood that meets gayborhood, and a rousing nightlife that entertains crowds well into the night, and even later on weekends.
Primebar is actually self-titled a sports bar with several trappings that would lead you to believe this is true, such as the many flat-screens tossed about out the building. Then there are the 40 taps. The large number of taps doesn’t necessarily make you a sports bar, look at the folks at Union Bear if that is your determination. Not a screen in sight, but a plethora of beers tapped daily. Continue reading

Mad Tavern opened a few short weeks ago in the former Sam’s Burger House location at 18101 Preston Road, the same shopping center where Cadot and Chaat Café are located. The new gastro-pub is operated by Sanjeeva Balachandra and Chance Harper formerly of Sherlock’s.
The pub has hit and miss items on the menu such as Gougers which are fried Gruyere cheese puffs (miss) and fish and chips made with Murphy’s Stout (hit). The menu also sports a shepherd’s pie and scotch eggs which were admirable. Mad Tavern makes much of their fare in house including a quite tasty corned beef for their Reuben. The fries are hand cut and are some of the best around. Continue reading
