I was thinking about a comment I made a few days ago – “I’ll believe it when I see it.” There are many things in life that require observation and analysis. But there are always exceptions, don’t you know. For example, here are some general observations: Have you ever noticed that some of the best […]

The Twisted Root
On the advice of my friend, Nicki, we ate dinner at The Twisted Root Burger Co. (TW) before heading to the Meyerson last night. Front and center in Deep Ellum, a fun and funky part of Dallas, TW manages to perfectly blend a chef-driven menu and sassy service. It’s the kind of place where you […]
Zac is Great (On the Border: Part 4)
I never thought a simple meal weeks ago would result in multiple blog postings. It’s a crazy crazy world. But anyhow, here we are.

Early last month, I pulled the list of participating restaurants and culled those that I’ve already been to for one function or […]

You arrive – it’s actually ready when you get there, so you give the […]
The Search is Over – I Think

I went in this past Sunday afternoon looking for an item I’d seen on the BBB website – a glass honey dispenser. Kelly suffers from seasonal allergies and we’ve learned […]
