It’s not every day we meet a #michelenstar resta

It’s not every day we meet a #michelenstar restaurant chef! 👨‍🍳

@chefakiraback from the renowned @yellowtaillv and dozens of other concepts has opened @akirabackdallas in @grandscapetx. 🎉

Enjoy bold presentations of cold and hot plates, served 1-by-1 and meant to be shared with among your dinner crew. To say the menu was excellent is an understatement. Swipe to see what we noshed on. ➡️

Go for the experience. Stay for the food. Don’t miss out on the sake flights!

Fun fact: Akira’s mom painted the stunning artwork found throughout the restaurant and the plateware. 🥰

Everything we ate at Scarborough Renaissance Festi

Everything we ate at Scarborough Renaissance Festival Legends of the Seas weekend! 🧜‍♀️🏴‍☠️🪸

Started with breakfast at the bakery with a GIANT cinnamon roll, cherry danish, and a mushu pork danish. After a sword lesson, we went to Palace of Pasta for calzones and mead at the Captain’s Pub. Visited the Mermaid Lagoon and some shopping…did you know that you can buy turkey leg seasoning?! Snacked on a sausage on a stick at a Fire Whip show and ended the day at Rose & Crown Inn for more mead, bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and a calypso salad!

May 21 & 22 is Celtic Weekend with performances and a number of themed competitions testing your fortitude @thesrfestival

Treat yourself to an elevated margarita at @themex

Treat yourself to an elevated margarita at @themexicandallas - and some bomb food while you’re at it!

The new restaurant at @ddesigndistrict brings Northern Mexico-inspired dishes that have been passed down through generations — and it’s unlikely you’ll find a lot of this food and drinks elsewhere in DFW right now.

PS- The tableside fundido was life changing. 🧀 (Split this with your crew!)

We made a reservation for a 5:30PM weeknight dinner because that’s all we could get that seemed decent. 😂 We hear you should check reservations on @resy on the day of for better timings. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Patio & cigar lounge will be open soon!

Have you been to @themexicandallas yet?👇🏼

Happy Mother’s Day, food nerds!

Grown up lunchable anyone? I mean, fancy cheese board 🥰.

I was telling mom friends recently that a bunch of us used to happy hour every week and try a different charcuterie board spot in Dallas. We need to bring back that tradition! In the mean time you can find all of our old 🧀🍷🍐 posts via the tag #indefinitecheeseboards -

Special delivery! 🐔🚗 After a brief hiatus, David Chang’s @fuku is back in town, & dropped off a delivery of their signature spicy fried chicken sando, chicken tenders & sweet jalapeño seasoned fries.

The sando features a habanero-brined chicken breast & Fuku mayo on a potato bun & it ain’t for the faint-hearted. 🔥 The tenders were less of an adventure but paired well with the four sauce choices: Fuku mayo, honey mustard, tangy Knockout sauce & ranch.

Fuku is now available for pick-up & delivery from locations in Irving, Frisco, Allen, Richardson & Grapevine! 🐓
