Fourteen Beers Deep at Celestial Beerworks

There’s a brewery behind the hospitals off Harry Hines that’s been making some of the best hazy IPA in this city for eight years, and most of Dallas drives past the exit without knowing it’s there.

Celestial Beerworks is at 2530 Butler St. in the Medical District. Matt and Molly Reynolds opened it in the fall of 2018. He’d been homebrewing for years and brewing for Malai Kitchen before that.

Texas Just Ended the Food Truck Permit Maze, and Dallas Operators Are Already Feeling It

Until this month, a food truck that wanted to work a lunch crowd in Dallas, then a weekend market in Fort Worth, then a private event in Plano needed three separate health permits to do it legally, three applications, three fees, three inspections, for the same truck serving the same food.

Portillo’s is rolling back into North Texas this August, and they’re bringing the Beef Bus® with them. The Chicago-style street food legend is celebrating the third anniversary of its first DFW tour — and its growing Texas footprint — with a two-week run of crinkle fries, Italian beef, and hot dog magic on wheels.

From August 15 through 31, the Beef Bus will park at some of the area’s biggest events, giving fans (and the Beef-curious) a chance to score Chicago-style Hot Dogs loaded with all the fixings, mini versions of the legendary Italian Beef Sandwich, Char-Grilled Italian and Maxwell Street Polish Sausages, and of course, those golden crinkle-cut fries that could probably start a fan club of their own.
