Oddfellows in Bishop Arts for Daily Brunch and More

Oddfellows anchors the Bishop Arts District with the kind of all-day energy that makes you linger: clatter from the open kitchen, the hiss of the espresso machine, sunlight sliding across tabletops, and plates that lean comfort-first without getting lazy. It’s the rare spot where brunch isn’t a weekend event but a daily rhythm, lunch actually feels like a break, and dinner settles in with a little neighborhood swagger. The food is straightforward, made with care, and plated to be eaten—not fussed over.

Dallas! Celebrate The Beignet With Us

cafe du mondeby Steven Doyle

What is made up of butter, flour, water and eggs, piped into several shapes for a variety of uses, and made most famous by our friends at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans? It is, of course, this special dough which brings us delicious pastries, both sweet and savory, such as eclairs, cream puffs,  profiteroles, croquembouches,  French crullers,  and Indonesian kue sus, dumplings. In the case of Cafe du Monde, choux is also responsible for the beignet, that wonderful little bit of fried dough that we typically dump a crazy amount of confectioner’s sugar onto and devour without remorse alongside a steaming cup of coffee.

There are more than a few versions of the beignet in Dallas, and bring you some of the best.     Continue reading

He was working at the New York Bar in Paris at the time, which later became Harry’s New York Bar, a frequent Paris hangout for Ernest Hemingway and other American expatriates. Harry’s Bar also claims to have created numerous other classic cocktails, including the White Lady and the Side Car.   Continue reading
