Eating healthy is expensive. Plain and simple. That’s why you’ll find few items of true nutritional value on a dollar menu and few things for a buck at the organic grocery store. That leaves two choices. Eat cheap and get fat. Or spend a little more for high-quality ingredients and get yourself on the road to washboard abs, glutes of […]
Gay men are connoisseurs of many things, buns being very high on that list. So when we come across buns so delectable that we want to bury our face in them and savor every moment like it was our last on earth, it’s a pretty notable experience. Well, at a restaurant anyway. At the newly opened Nazca Kitchen, no table […]
Cheese is a glorious thing. Melt it, and it’s even more magnificent. Dip in some crusty bread, a crisp piece of bacon or an entire cheeseburger and get ready for a party in your mouth. Now, you can have a cheese-centric party in your house, too. Yes, the fondue party is once again making a comeback and the experts over […]
There’s a great little restaurant tucked away in south Dallas that you should check out. As in today. Or tomorrow at the very latest. It’s called Terrace Bistro inside the NYLO Dallas South Side Hotel. The first reason to visit soon is because lunch is half price every Monday through Friday for a limited time. Second, the food is worth […]
Drinking water shouldn’t kill you. Or give you a fourth nipple. Yet so many of our municipal water supplies are downright unhealthy. The only solutions are adding a filtration system to your home water supply (expensive), constantly filling up one of those refrigerator filter pitchers (annoying), or strapping a five-gallon bottle of water from the office cooler to your back […]
We’ve been known to drive through Jack in the Box after a DIFFA dinner to gorge on 2-for-99¢ tacos. It’s a weakness we’re not proud of. But what if there were a fast food place that served real food, not the processed BS that fills McMenus and restaurants with “Bell” in their name? That’s what Start set out to be […]
Few places on earth make better breakfasts than a good, old-fashioned diner. So what happens when you take said eatery and bring in a chef to run a kitchen turning out one fantastic dish after another? Welcome to the Front Room at Hotel Lumen, a wonderful new restaurant with all the staples of a diner, only nicer. Much nicer. It’s […]
Turn on the TV today and you’ll find almost nothing but commercials for weight loss programs, gym memberships and “healthy” microwaveable meals that smell like a landfill and taste like cat food. That’s because something strange happens every January 1 at 12:01 a.m. that makes people want to lose weight and get fit. Perhaps it’s the rapidly approaching swimsuit season. […]
This year, instead of milk and cookies for Santa Claus, why not give him something a little stronger but equally sweet and indulgent? After all, it’s technically the reindeer doing all the driving, so it’s not like you’ll be promoting FAMSUI (Flying A Magical Sleigh Under The Influence). One of the best spirits for the holidays is the super-premium dark […]
While we would love to enjoy fine dining on a nightly basis, it’s just not within our budget. Or the strength of the elastic in our waistbands. So there are a select few restaurants that we have in our Little Black Book of Destination Dining. And Abacus is always there. For more than a decade, Chef Kent Rathbun has been […]
