This past Saturday was the first ever Downtown Frisco StrEATS Festival. It featured 10 of DFW’s food trucks and live music from the School of Rock and musician, Dave Thomas. The line-up included SoCal Tacos, The Butcher’s Son, Easy Sliders, Cajun Tailgators Truck, Zombie’s Food Truck, Ssahm BBQ, Nammi Food Truck, Rockstar Bakeshop, Eat JoDawgs, and the debut of Coolhaus, the specialty ice cream sandwich truck from LA. This was one of the few food truck events north of the Dallas area. A lot of people came out for the event and the space filled up very quickly.
It was a bright and sunny day and there were lines at the trucks before the event even started at 3PM. I was among the first people in line for Coolhaus at 2:50PM, waiting for them to officially open for business. Continue reading

I think most of us have enjoyed a food truck rally or two in the past year in Dallas.

There is always something for everyone. Often times these events are tied into a fundraising event to benefit one charity or another. Continue reading

craveDFW contributor Dorothy Hernandez, writer James Casarez, and Dallas Diva Farah Fleurima attended the Tennessee Williams New Orleans Literary Festival as part of their travels to the Big Easy. Here’s one of their dispatches:
An author as prolific as Tennessee Williams, who penned over 33 full-length plays and over 75 one-act and shorter plays, is bound to have an arsenal of hidden gems through his lesser-known works. The Tennessee Williams Literary Festival class “Hiding in Plain Sight” brought together a collection of scenes through staged readings of both his lesser-known works and more recognizable ones. Luminaries of the stage and page came together to breath life again into some of Williams’ most outstanding characters. Continue reading
