A First Look at RedFork

by Steven Doyle

Last evening we were treated to an exclusive special look at RedFork the new Jeff Harris concept that is to open for business tonight with the limited bar menu. For a full menu and grand opening you will need to wait until next Friday, June 24, when Harris and his crew throw down in full swing.

Also look forward to brunch that will be served both Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 2pm.

Sunday Brunch: Komali

by Joy Jangles

Back when I lived in Tucson, I fell in love with the authentic Mexican cuisine over there – house made tangy and spicy tomatillo salsas, tortillas made from scratch, and the day-long simmered sauces. You can literally taste the love in native Mexican dishes, what better way to feel at home than eating food that’s made from the heart? Continue reading →

by Steven Doyle

Last Friday we told you about the first Saturday brunch special at La Grange in Deep Ellum and we were so excited about the story we made plans to join the excitement and share with you our finds.

When we first arrived we found a very long line standing outside the building. This discouraged us but we parked with the idea we might actually be having brunch somewhere else. I was already setting my tasters on the chicken fried steak and eggs at All Good Café. As we approached La Grange, which typically we only hit when we are wandering Deep Ellum late nights while recovering from a concert at the neighboring Trees, we found the line moving as they began seating patrons.

99 Cent Brunch at La Grange

by Steven Doyle

Crave loves a great brunch, and we continue to seek out the very best of this late breakfast, quasi lunch noon-time nosh that is filled with curative powers, clever conversation, ungodly stories from the previous evening’s debauchery and otherwise a relaxing time to replenish the soul in preparation for the new week.
