As the summer drones on in triple digits for the 23rd day in a row, we continue our search for all the wonderful things Dallas-Fort Worth has to offer. The people have spoken about their favorite burgers and cocktails, now it is time for breakfast.
Breakfast is one of my absolute favorite meals of the day. There is nothing more satisfying than an egg (unless you add a burger or enchilada below the egg; my favorite self-saucing mechanics). Continue reading

The Pyramid at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas enjoys an uncommon fact in that they employ three past winners of Dallas Food and Wine’s Rising Star Chefs including Executive Chef Andre Natera (2003 White Wine winner), Executive Sous Chef Paul Peddle (2011 White Wine winner), and Pyramid Sous Chef Andrew McDonald (2011 Red Wine winner).
To celebrate these Rising Stars, The Pyramid Restaurant hosted a dinner this past Friday evening. The “Trifecta at the Pyramid” was a chef’s tasting dinner and live cooking demonstration hosted by the hotel.

There were so many good cocktails on the People’s Choice list that we simply had to take the time to try them all. The people voted and Komali won hands down with a large victory for the spirited El Guero, a juicy concoction house-made horchata, Kahlua and Grey Goose vodka. Another really great drink at Komali is the habanero martini. The spiciness cuts the edge off the Hornitos tequila for a perfect blend of spiciness. Continue reading

It wasn’t long ago that we sat with Vicki Peterson from Paper and Chocolate, which is located in the Inwood Village Shopping Center in Dallas, after we heard she was expanding her lines of chocolate after many years of dedication to her stationary store. Having just won D Magazine’s Best Stationers award we thought it might be a good time to see what this dedicated entrepreneur was up to.
As we chatted with the whimsical shop owner we found out that paper is certainly not her only love, but also has an extremely vivacious passion for all things chocolate. But not just any chocolate as you will soon see. She is a purist and only the best will suit her palate.
After reading this you may wish to visit Paper and Chocolate today as they celebrate the D Magazine victory and offer some unique samples and champagne all day. If you miss all the hoopla, you can still find her growing inventory at the store where she has slated a major expansion in this area of confections. Continue reading
