Cooking Classes at 3015: Week 4

platingby Robyn Folmar

Roasting and Baking were the topics du jour during class four at the 3015 Trinity Groves cooking school. I was looking forward to this one because we were going to roast a chicken and make penne al forno (ostentatious mac n’ cheese) and really, what more does an American need?

Read Week One, Week Two and Week Three

As usual, we started with a team huddle and group hug (not really) to talk about our action plan for the night. Dr. Mike, class instructor, talked a bit about how to use the convection oven. This was great, because I’m scared to death to use mine. He said when using the convection, simply assume the oven temperature is 20 degrees hotter than your recipe states and then shorten the cooking time by a third.  So if the recipe says 350 degrees for 30 minutes, just assume it’s at 370 degrees and cook it for about 20 minutes. No sweat, I got this.   Continue reading →

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

DSC04799by 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 →

More Crawfish Sightings Including SuckFest 2012

by Steven Doyle

Within minutes of posting our crawfish weekend guide (of which we only listed two) we caught holy hell from a few readers because we left out their boil.  As much as we would like to give notice of the many backyard boils across the city, you may not appreciate a few thousand craveDFW readers poking through your fence to join the party.

However we do have a few more that everyone is invited to attend.             Continue reading →

Juice Bar To Open In Inwood Village

by Steven Doyle

The owners of Bar Method, the muscle sculpting studio that blends science and dance techniques for a better Parkie tush are now opening a juice bar next to their Inwood Village salon called Juice Bar. Lisa and Tom Henning’s will open the juicery early April and plan on hydrating their students between sessions with blends of a variety of fruits.

We are sure there will be plenty of coconut water and kombucha tea on hand.

Anti-VDay at Frankies

by Jerry Stewert

We will probably be hearing more of these crop up, but there is an Anti-Valentine’s Day Party hosted by Frankie’s Sports Bar & Grill on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. This is where you celebrate your singleness with a bar full of other happy singles.

“Everybody knows love stinks and that Cupid is stupid,” said Bill Katz, owner of Frankie’s. This is why he is throwing this bash complete with free drinks for those who do not “heart” love, happy hour prices and drink specials that are not exactly welcoming to the little winged creature with love-tipped arrows.  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 →
