We just saw this posted in the Tacobot group on Facebook and thought we would share with the craveDFW crowd. No extraneous commentary from us needed.

It’s not often you meet a chef like Tom Fleming – he’s edgy, funny, brutally honest, and knows good food starts from the heart. Originally from Chicago, he worked under Jean Joho at Everest and later won a James Beard Award for “Best New Restaurant” at Brasserie Jo for Joho.
The youngest of 7, Fleming found his love for food right from the beginning. His strong set of skills from a classical French training background began at a young age with his mother, who was a French trained cook and later spent time in France where he staged at Paul Bocuse and L’Auberge de I’ille.

Recently we had a chance to try out an exciting luncheon option at Komali that is priced well and served fast, Comida Corrida. This is the traditional table d’hote, a small meal of several courses at a fixed price eaten between about 1 and 4 p.m in Mexico. In the case of Komali, this is a three course prix fixe mid-day meal.
For $14 you get whatever combination they may have served up that day with no substitutions. This enables the lunch diner to get in and out quickly while still having a satisfying and authentic meal. Continue reading

Tacos are not known for being the healthiest item in the World. This is a common Tacobot lament when viewing another menu full of meat, cheese, and not much else. Thank the Salsa Gods for places like Macho Nacho on Cedar Springs bringing a refreshing and healthier twist to our traditional Tex-Mex favorites. Specializing in locally -sourced produce the menu at Macho Nacho is sure to satisfy a taco-lovers taste without sacrificing all those hard-earned hours in the gym.
Located in the old Hunky’s Hamburgers spot at the corner of Cedar Springs and Throckmorton the small but comfortable space is decked out in crisp white, dark chocolates, and bright orange. Plush enough to be mistake for an upscale coffee lounge or boutique bar, the ample patio more than doubles the seating of the inside. Continue reading

Last week’s burger rave took our intrepid group to Nick Rizo’s restaurant Stratos which specializes in Greek food. Greek specialties include gyros, soulvaki, moussaka and spanakopita. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated at a marble topped table near the main bar. Our server took our drink orders and I ordered Max’s Greek Burger cooked medium rare which featured sauteed red onions and feta cheese and cost $9.99 on the menu. Continue reading
