The Kid Now Open in The Heights – Houston

Houston’s bar scene just got a little cooler—and a lot more delicious. The Kid, a brand-new cocktail lounge and eatery from the team behind beloved concepts Flying Saucer and Rodeo Goat, has officially opened its doors in The Heights, and it’s bringing a bold, boozy energy to the neighborhood.

Located at 1815 N. Durham Drive at 19th Street, The Kid strikes a perfect balance between laid-back and elevated. It draws inspiration from its sibling establishments, marrying Flying Saucer’s craft beer sensibility, Rodeo Goat’s burger wizardry, and a refined cocktail program that nods to Dallas’ Meddlesome Moth. It’s a place where you can sip a Negroni, smash a burger, and maybe even shoot a game of pool—all under one roof.

Dairy-ette is a Classic Drive-In Experience

East Dallas’ Dairy-ette is a nostalgic gem that harkens back to the golden age of drive-in diners. Opened in 1956, this old-school burger joint has become an institution for those seeking a classic, no-frills dining experience. Dairy-ette serves as a time capsule of mid-century America, offering simple yet delicious food in a setting that remains true to its roots. From the vintage neon sign to the carhop service, stepping into Dairy-ette feels like a trip back in time.

Dairy-ette’s appeal lies in its authentic drive-in experience. The restaurant’s exterior, with its chrome trim and checkerboard tiles, instantly sets the tone for what awaits inside. You can either order from your car or step inside to enjoy the ambiance. The small dining room, filled with red booths and retro décor, transports you back to the 1950s. Friendly staff and loyal patrons, many of whom have been coming for decades, add to the sense of community.

Burger of the Day: Half Pound Burger at Lee Harvey’s

leeharvey2by Steven Doyle

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.

The food at Lee Harvey’s is nothing short of splendid, and is made out of a kitchen  much smaller than your own at home. The food comes out quickly and perfect every time for a place with such adversity as this small workspace. But that is the only thing small about the bar. The burgers are enormous, clocking in at a half pound and topped with as many ingredients as you might care to savor. The meat is juicy and hand formed, and even though the bun is sturdy the juices make fast play with your ability to manage this monster.   Continue reading →

Q&A with Kenny Mills at the Original Chop House Burgers

millsby Steven Doyle

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 →
