We’ve been long-time fans of Eatzi’s uptown Dallas location and were thrilled at the opening of an Eatzi’s closer to home. A few weeks ago we finally stopped in for Friday pizza night. The deal: $10 pizza, choosing from a set menu. The pizzas available last night included mushroom, hot coppa, chicken alfredo, warrior, margherita and […]

Fueling at Fuel City
Kelly and I stopped by a local mecca for street tacos – Fuel City, located on the southern edge of downtown Dallas. Yes, it’s a gas station. It’s also a car wash, a convenience store, a waiting place near the city jail. And it’s also home to some of the best tacos in Dallas. Order […]
Other Austin Eats
Bacon wasn’t the only thing we ate while in Austin (though it was enough to fill us up for two meals that day). We also stopped in at Maiko Sushi Lounge on 6th Street: They had a great happy hour menu (apparently, any time after 5 p.m. is happy hour – a fact which made […]
We Ate At Bacon
Our rental cottage in Austin provided a wonderful (witty) list of local restaurant and shop suggestions. One place within walking distance was Bacon. They noted it was a small place…small indeed. That could get crowded…crowded indeed. With a bacon-themed menu…indeed. Based on Yelp reviews that I read while waiting in line, Kelly opted to have […]
Shopping at Jimmy’s
I finally got in a shopping trip to Jimmy’s Food Store-ha! Another 101 list down!) This cute little shop is tucked away in East Dallas – close to my commute home in the evening, but enough off the path that I had to plan to stop by. Once inside I was amazed to discover that […]
Trying it Out: Bubble Tea
Several people I know love bubble tea. [ Kelly is not one of those people. ] Despite hearing the wonders of bubble tea, I’ve never actually tried it – this, of course, makes it a perfect thing to put on my 101 list. Last week, I finally made time to stop in at a popular […]
We’re Hyppies
After years of following Hypnotic Donuts, from its early days of selling out of the back of a Ford Expedition to running in the the Donut Dash, Kelly and I finally went to enjoy the real deal. Grabbing a menu was definitely a must – the combinations are pretty incredible. (Read the full menu here.) […]
Crossing Off the List Just in Time
I’d had “Visit The Mecca in East Dallas” on my 101 list for some time. It was a huge shock to read in our local newspaper that The Mecca was closing – at least for a while, perhaps permanently. That news bumped visiting The Mecca higher in our priority list. So after a Saturday run, […]
Sushi Sushi: Nosoo
Another post-Cuba treat…sushi at a new place not far from home. Kelly first visited Nosoo during lunch with coworkers and enjoyed it so much that he took me there for dinner the very same day. The food was delicious – fresh and creative. This is the Ahi Tower – spicy tuna, kani, sushi […]
Dive Expedition: We Have an (Donut) Obsession
Kelly said we needed to try another donut shop. I said that was the last thing we needed to do. However, I still went with him to Max’s Donuts in Allen, Texas. After all, who would say no to a hot, fresh donut after doing speed work on the track? Running has to have some […]
