For anyone who’s ever felt the aching guilt of enjoying a cold beer, burger, or frozen custard with friends while their four-legged companion sits in solitude at home, all that is about to change when Mutts comes to Uptown in late May.
Located on the former Hank Haney Golf Course land, the modern day “roadside” burger stand by Josh Sepkowitz and Kyle Noonan of Freerange Concepts (Bowl & Barrel, Sunset Lounge, The Rustic) will serve burgers, hot dogs, frozen custard, shakes, beer and wine for lunch and dinner as well as breakfast tacos, bagels and coffee for breakfast.

Home to some of the best chefs in the world, Dallas can be a tough city to pick a restaurant in. What a terrible problem to have, right? But really, deciding whether to try out the hot new FT33 or stick with a favorite like Bolsa can cause serious anxiety.
Now imagine having all those incredible chefs and their cuisine in one place. Too good to be true? Yes. But it’s real, and it’s happening.

Wine and dinner are two of my favorite things. It’s probably safe to assume that’s also the case for a lot of people. But I’ve been drinking wine long enough to know exactly what I want to be drinking: my boxed Bota Box Pinot Grigio. I don’t care if I’m eating seafood, steak or a burger from In n Out; the heart wants what the heart wants. So while I love the occasional wine dinner, I’m always a little frustrated that I can’t just bring my fave box of wine along with me.
The same cannot be said for me and beer. I’ve been pretending to love Bud Lights for so long that I genuinely enjoy them now. When the mood strikes, a cold bottle of Bud Light Platinum can really hit the spot. Fear of the unknown (and beer bellies) has made Bud Light my go to choice, but the rise in craft beer’s popularity and my recent visit to Deep Ellum Brewing Co. has definitely put an end to that. Who knew that beer could actually taste good? It doesn’t have to be something you train yourself to enjoy so you can look like a “chill girl” or have something to transition to as the night goes on.

Oak’s Executive Chef Jason Maddy is a part of that new wave of passionate younger chefs who are making their mark on the dining 
scene, prompting everyone to work a little harder. Though he only recently made the move to Dallas from Austin, his time living and cooking in Austria has had the greatest impact on his cuisine.
In the first of a series of dinners planned every other month, each with a different theme, Austria – An Exclusive and Intimate Oak Dining Experience, features dishes like Caraquet Oyster, Grostl (lobster), Rindsuppe, Kavalierspitz and Apple Strudel. Though the only familiar option may be the strudel, the rest are sure to be brilliant.
Indulge in Chef Maddy’s adventurous 9-course meal on Sunday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m. $125 per person and $175 when paired.

We’re big fans of DISH at YouPlus. We feel infinitely cooler every time we step foot in there. We’re also big fans of Wine Wednesday. Combine the two, and you’ve got a match made in *Hump Day Heaven.
DISH Executive Chef Garreth Dickey is beginning a series of wine dinners that will take place on the last Wednesday of each month for the rest of the year. The first dinner will take place Wednesday, March 27; see the mouthwatering menu below. It will be a celebration of eclectic finds hosted by Travis James of Favorite Brands.

If you’ve driven across the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, you’ve probably seen a whole lot of nothing. That is until you reach a colorful
beacon of beefy goodness, directly across from Four Corners Brewery. Hot dogs and beer are a good enough reason to cross the artsy bridge, but when the combo is this good, well that’s even better.
Hoffman Hots serves up the “best hot dogs in America” in a colorful old-school diner doused in red, white, blue and chrome. “Best hot dogs in America” is a pretty bold statement, but if a hot dog were to compete for the title, this one would certainly stand a fighting chance. Except there’s not just one; there are SO many dogs to choose from, all gluten and MSG free, served up on a New England-style bun.

I’m too embarrassed to reveal how many times I’ve succumbed to Bagel Bites or a Wendy’s Frosty in lieu of a home cooked meal. It’s not that I don’t like to
cook, it’s just so time consuming. Not everyone can have a personal chef; this isn’t Eloise at the Plaza!
And while my “refer to my live-in chef” days are a ways away, I can certainly rely on the brilliant Chef Shaun Collins and his new service, Main & Sides, created to help support a healthy, gourmet lifestyle and deliver a week’s worth of 100% freshly prepared and presented balanced meals.
