FOMO meets food this Friday at the DIFFA Dallas signature culinary event Burgers & Burgundy. Celebrity chefs create their ultimate burger creations and favorite wine pairings for a feast like no other. Bring your fashion-forward, or casual self along with your appetite. The food and wine flows nonstop.
Dallas is steep up in plenty of steakhouses and barbecue joints and that what might endear most of us to this city. Even our vegan friends make pretend kabobs and chicken fried steaks because that is a thing.
Today we offer many meaty ideas for your beef bucket list. Playgrounds for adults to chew cow and even a pig or two. If you have a favorite meat haven, feel free to chime in below in the comment section. We only wish we had a free grill to add to this meat pile. Continue reading →
There is a place, a hidden place, where you can find cold beer, great burgers and incredible live music. This is the place many know as Lee Harvey’s. In its own compound surrounded by barbed wire and a double gate to prevent happy pets from either getting in, or escaping, you will find nothing but great camaraderie and smiles at this hot spot in the Cedars area of Dallas.

Last week we explored the finest burgers in Dallas and it is only fair we tell you about some of our favorites in Fort Worth. Fort Worth means Stockyards, which means beef and they have plenty of the good stuff just waiting for you.
We hope you find our list thoughtful and invite you to not only try them all as a bucket list, but to tell us about your favorites. We will be sure to check them out for future publication because we do love a good burger.
I have known this week’s chef for quite a while. He has an air of no-nonsense charisma that makes for a unique chef that has blazed a trail in the DFW area for many years now, loading us up with beef created many different ways, from a bountiful haunch plated pretty to a fantastic bunned bit of savoriness.
No doubt that as an avid reader of these pages you have heard mention of chef Kenny Mills who re-opened his award winning Original Chop House Burgers in Arlington just recently to accolades. A man who makes a burger that we queue up for with bated breath. A man we just recently sat with and discussed his interesting history. Continue reading →
goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger House located at 1154 Peavy Rd. has pivoted to a new name, menu and essentially opens a new restaurant, Good Citizen, with lower prices and different menu for take-out and delivery.
Co-owner Matt Tobin says, “These are trying times people…trying times indeed. In order to never forget our duty to each other during this unprecedented moment, we have changed our name to reflect what we ALL need to be to each other.” Continue reading →
