Pho is for Lovers

Sunday night we were in the mood for pho but our usual place, Pho Chau, is unfortunately closed on the weekends.  I remembered seeing Pho is for Lovers on Greenville Avenue in Dallas and we decided to try it and compare it to our usual place. It was quite good and tasted almost exactly the same as Pho Chau.  [...]

I Love Rusty…Taco

Have you been to Rusty Taco yet?  If not, you should! I like when a restaurant keeps it simple while creating a great niche for themselves.  Simply put, Rusty Taco is joint serving tacos, breakfast tacos, beer and delicious margaritas.  What more do you need?! On my last visit I enjoyed two fabulous tacos. “#5 Brisket Taco - is rubbed [...]

Brunch at Primebar

After a night of hard partying in my ballerina costume, Sunday morning rolled around and all I could think about was going to get the perfect brunch.  My friends and I tossed around some ideas but we couldn’t decide so we just got in the car.  We drove around uptown and passed Primebar, saw the [...]

Want of the Day~November 1, 2011

Nothing is more satisfying to me than a good grilled cheese sandwich. Ruthie’s Rolling Cafe is an amazing grilled cheese food truck roaming Dallas area streets.  Their offerings will blow your taste buds away. “How so?  I can make grilled cheese at home.” Glad you asked!! Ruthie’s uses artisan breads, fine cheeses, meats and delicious toppings [...]

At the State Fair of Texas: Fried Food Rules

The State Fair of Texas - otherwise known as fried food heaven.  It has been a yearly tradition for me to go to the fair and I have not missed a year since I moved to Dallas.  Each year I come home happy, tired, and with a belly ache.  Well this year was no exception.  However, [...]

Baboush

I’ve been meaning to try Baboush in the West Village for some time now and finally was able to go on Friday night.  It was delicious and the ambiance was very nice.  We actually sat outside but we went in to look around and the restaurant is decorated beautifully in a middle eastern style. We [...]
