A new Indian restaurant opened up in Irving, and w A new Indian restaurant opened up in Irving, and we were transported through food to the delicious streets of Northern India! At @eggholicofficial, start with a sweet Mango Mastani or a Lassi and some Cheese Katori, then dig into their egg-focused entreés! EggHolic’s signature Surti Gotalo Curry (shredded hard boiled eggs mixed with special house spices and sunny side up eggs on top) served with Roti or white bread was the star of the table, but everything off the menu tasted and smelled amazing. From grilled sandwiches filled with Paneer Masala to the Holic Chicken Kabob and everything in-between…the staff at Eggholic will be sure to please all of your senses, and you’ll leave with a full stomach! Make sure to go check them out, you’ll probably run into one of us there! #hosted #irvingtx #eggoholic #visitirving #indianfood #dallasfoodnerd

Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodle Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodles. 🍜 We recently checked out Uncle Zhou Restaurant, the famed Henan Chinese noodle shop which opened in Plano after closing its popular Queens location in New York. Famous for its hand-pulled noodles, this shop was even on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list! The menu is surprisingly deep, with tasty traditional Chinese appetizers, dumplings & rice dishes at extremely reasonable prices, but we came here for the noodles so we didn’t let ourselves get distracted. To be thorough, we got a beef tendon soup, which was comforting & delicious, but the star of the show is definitely the famous Dial Oil Hand-Drawn Noodles. The noodles are fat & tender, topped with bok choy & garlic and smothered in hot oil. The noodles are chewy & awesome & the flavor is bold & surprisingly not as spicy as it looks. It’s easy to see why it’s so beloved. We always feel lucky when an established shop decides to come to town & are glad Uncle Zhou made its way to North Texas! What favorite from another city do you wish would relocate here? -@amypyen #dallasfoodnerd

Wine tasting! 💁🏻‍♀️🍷 We were intro Wine tasting! 💁🏻‍♀️🍷 We were introduced to Georgian wine brand, @silkroadwines and loved seeing the variety of bottles including a unique orange/amber wine! Fun fact: Amber wine comes from ripe white grapes with skins placed into a Qvevri (a large clay amphora buried into the earth). The wine is fermented for 5-6 months before bottling. The maturation on the skins is what gives the amber color. This dry wine has notes of honey and apricot. Other tasting notes from our lineup: 🍷Red Semi Sweet - floral notes, sweeter than we expected 🍷Dry Red - smooth, full bodied with dark berry notes 🍷Organic Rose - longer finish, very light 🍷Dry White Wine - floral, green apple notes 🍷Organic Amber - apricot notes, light taste, color looks heavier than it is If you’re looking to expand your wine knowledge and tastes, pick up these bottles now at @centralmarket in DFW. 🥂 #hosted #winetasting #silkroadwines #centralmarket #vino #wine

Did you know January is #nationalhotteamonth? I di Did you know January is #nationalhotteamonth? I did not. TBH, I don’t know why we have so many food/drink themed days, weeks, and months. BUT I do love me some tea ☕️, year-round. Here are some of my favs: - If Matcha 🍵 is on the menu and I haven’t tried it at least once, that’s my first choice. The one pictured here is either from @ascensioncoffee or @redefinedcoffeehouse - Chai and Dirty Chai are both an excellent choice, @84pointcoffee + @dunnbroscoffee in Addison both make a good chai - My go-to tea 🥤 at Starbys is London Fog - My go-to tea 🫖 at home is @harneyteas - Paris, London Fog, and Vanilla Comoro are in the regular rotation - Thai Tea🧋is in its own category, and worth a mention! We’d love to know yours in the comments.
