A Fish and Two Goats, Or Why Strangeways is Aptly Named

by Steven Doyle

Last night I was out with a friend for dinner and we decided on Tei-Tei Robata Bar for a little relaxed sushi and sake action. Dinner was sparkling and we even happened to see former Tei-Tei owner and current Tei-An chef-owner Teiich sitting alone at the corner of the bar perusing the menu.

After a few rounds of sushi we thought to have a cocktail and happened into Strangeways, the new brew hall on Fitzhugh very near the new Herrera’s and Red Fork. The new bar is owned by Eric and Erica Sanchez and it is their foray into the hospitality business. The bar is festooned with interesting Mexican artifacts and loaded with plenty of beers on tap and over 100 bottled. A great selection. Continue reading →

Crave Deal at Underground Dinner Tonight

by Steven Doyle

We just received an email from our favorite underground chef who was explaining he had a few last minute cancellations for his underground sushi dinner extravaganza that will be hosted “somewhere in Deep Ellum” tonight. Because he loves craveDFW so much he sent this beautiful offer:

I am offering $20 off to anyone that RSVP’s and mentions craveDFW today. Tonight’s menu is a 6-course tasting menu of fish caught yesterday in Hawaii and hitting the plates tonight in Dallas (about 27 hrs out of the water). This list includes: Kajiki, Hamachi, Walu, and Ahi. To RSVP for this $70/person(cash only) + gratuity dinner in Deep Ellum (and receive a $20 discount) email dat@chefdat.com. Also the big bonus is that tonight’s dessert is being prepared by Katherine Clapner of Dude, Sweet Chocolate.

Remember, these dinners are BYOB, so that is an extra bonus for a great date tonight. We have been to a few of these DAT dinners and they are really special. And a Clapner dessert to boot? Go get ‘em!
