by Steven Doyle

Have you made your plans to attend the Untapped Beer Festival in the new Trinity Groves area of West Dallas on September 8, 2012? If you have not purchased your tickets yet you are falling dangerously close to missing out on the event altogether. We spoke to one of the organizers at The Common Table, Cory Pond who is also a beer man about town, and he told craveDFW that the VIP tickets were nearly depleted and the regular admission tickets will soon be gone as well.      Continue reading →

6th Street Bar And Grill Opening In September

by Steven Doyle

New bar and grill alert for those living in uptown Dallas. Soon the weight of half pound cheeseburgers will send the uptown properties into a spiraling sinkhole as the bars nearly outnumber the residents. It’s all good, we enjoy the vast selection and know that the cream always rises to the top in a survival of the fittest sort of way.

The new restaurant is called 6th Street Bar and Grill and is located at 3005 Routh Street in the former Manhattan Pizza location.        Continue reading →

Alex Perez Speaks Out About the Spicy Chili Donut Contest at Hypnotic

by Alex Perez

I get asked all the time, “Alex, why do you do the crazy things you do like food competitions?”  I tell them that besides enjoying pain and suffering, I actually enjoy chowing down the food.  That brings me to this past Saturday’s event held at Hypnotic Donuts in East Dallas – The Spicy Chile Donut Eating Contest.  I normally cancel everything to commit and do as many food competitions as possible but due to the conflicting dates of a pre-existing event, I was not going to attend the donut challenge.  So I thought.  I must admit that I was a tad saddened about not being able to compete in the Spicy Donut competition, but that all changed Friday morning.

I received news Friday from a friend that we were in fact not going on our planned trip and quickly made the decision to email Hypnotic Donuts to sign up for the challenge.  The owner of Hypnotic, James, responded quickly and confirmed I had a spot in the competition. It was on.          Continue reading →

Each week we scour the city in search of the very best Dallas has to offer. We check into restaurants both old and new looking for interesting food to discuss with you so you can make handy decision when dining out.

We do not necessarily write up each item we enjoy, and often have photos that we will save for another week. However, we will share some of the most awe-inspiring dishes on Friday in what we like to call Friday’s Five Fabulous Food Finds.       Continue reading →

Nora Is A Sweet Afghan Surprise

by Steven Doyle

It’s been about a single month since Nora opened its doors and we had a first look at the opening festivities which included dancing, plenty of music and great food. One month later the music is a bit muted but the food is rolling strong in this beefed up outpost for the dearly loved North Dallas Afghan Grill.

Located on lowest Greenville Avenue in what is fast becoming a freshly revitalized area of Dallas, Nora is a little gem that is all nice and shiny. The same chef is working the grill as the North Dallas haunt, and they are using the same techniques. Giant flames from the largish gas grill kiss the lamb kabobs just as the grill does at Afghan. The flavors are very similar because the recipes are the same.      Continue reading →
