We have always been a great fan of Deep Ellum’s cheese factory run by the esteemed Paula Lambert, the Mozzarella Company.

I would visit with Lambert and she would regale me with stories of cheese. Pure heaven. Continue reading

So many choices for fun events this weekend and we have one perfectly terrific one that will leave you scratching your head as you belly laugh throughout the day. Shoals Sound and Service is this cheeky little bar run by many of Dallas’ elite bartenders and owned by Omar Yeefoon and Michael Martensen. You will find Yeefoon there most hours but Martensen is running a beach resort at the moment in Mexico. Such the life, right?
The event, if you can even call it that, is called Memorial Daze ’18 and the big draw will be the domino tourney with a $25 buy-in ($50 per team) where there will be amazing prizes and giveaways. This alone is reason enough to forgo the beach. (What beach?) Continue reading

Niwa Japanese BBQ is declaring Niko No Hi or Meat Day an official must-have holiday every 29th of the month in Dallas, starting on March 29, 2018. Popular in Japan, every 29th of the month is Meat Day and it’s celebrated by eating meat that day.
Why the 29th? It’s a curious word play of the numbers 2 and 9. The number components make up the word ni-kyuu which sounds similar to niku which means meat. Continue reading
