@Paschall_Bar is the best kept “secret” on the Denton square is behind an unmarked door and up an old set of stairs where you can indulge in great conversation, an amazing vibe and enjoy the highest quality cocktails. 🍸

Grab a drink before dinner or stop by for an evening to chill in a speakeasy vibe but without needing a password to enter!

Paschall Bar in Denton is the best bar around here hands down, and with excellent cocktail crafters behind the counter, you’re guaranteed to enjoy your time in this cozy spot hidden upstairs overlooking the square.

We enjoyed a couple Amaretto Sours, a Disco Cowboy and a Strawberry Fields before wisking away to dinner and we couldn’t stop talking about them all night!

So, if you haven’t been…go check it out, but don’t tell everyone (let’s keep it somewhat of a secret!)!

An uptown fav! ✨ We enjoyed dinner & drinks at @moxiesusa at @thecrescentdallas.

Did you know this was the first US location for this Canadian restaurant, brought to Dallas by Stars owner Tom Gaglardi? It’s a pre-game fav & remains a terrific uptown spot for cocktails & a surprisingly diverse menu, which ranges from burgers to pasta to even ramen.

Here’s what we tried:
🍸Empress Gin & Tonic *New for summer*
🍸Yuzu Mojito
🍸Spicy Mango Margarita
🍽 Calamari
🍽 Tuna Sushi Stack
🍽 Chicken Madeira Rigatoni
🍽 Miso Ramen
🍽 Beef Vindaloo
🍰 Mile High Mocha Pie

We came for the pizza but stayed for the artwork and desserts! 🤩

Come hungry to Pie 314 Everyday Eatery Castle Hills. Nestled in @castlehillscommunity in Lewisville (Old Denton & Hebron), the restaurant serves 10 signature pies (plus a build your own).

We recommend ordering a different pie for each person but sharing slices around the table. There are so many good choices to order!

The big portions of the yummy apps and desserts make it shareable too. We were impressed by the flavors and portion sizes.

What we tried:
🍄 Crab stuffed mushrooms
🥗 Wedge salad
🍕 Chicken & choke
🍕 Shrooms
🍝 Adult spaghetti and meatballs
🍰 Cheesecake
🍫 Brownie & vanilla ice cream

Enjoy patio seating when the weather cools off this season and ladies night drink specials on Wednesdays!

We’ll be back in this area to give you the scoop on other neighboring restaurants!

Here’s an easy & totally fail-proof way to prep a delicious salmon dinner with @mamabear.salmon! 🐟 #ad

This whole dinner, including veggies, is all prepped together in one parchment packet & is ready to eat out of the oven in just 15 minutes! Plus you can serve it directly out of the packet, eliminating any clean-up! Bonus! 🤩

Here’s how it’s put together:
🐟Defrost a salmon filet from @mamabear.salmon Atlantic Salmon Portions, available at Tom Thumb & Albertsons (they come 4 to a package, so you can feed your whole family…or yourself for like a week!)
🐟Place on a piece of parchment paper folded in half
🐟Add veggies of your choice beside or under the fish
🐟Season with salt & pepper & drizzle with olive oil—you can also add fresh herbs & lemon slices here, optionally! Get creative!
🐟Fold over the other half of the parchment & crimp the sides to seal into a packet
🐟Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes
🐟Remove from oven & serve! Watch out for the hot steam! ♨️

One of our long time friends, Chef Josh Harmon, opened up a killer new restaurant inside @TheExchangeHall (a food hall) in downtown Dallas!

The new restaurant, Birdie Chicken (@birdiechicken), features tasty bites like Asian-influenced Chicken Steam Buns and Hot Honey Chicken. Don’t sleep on the traditional Southern fried chicken sandwiches either!

Birdie’s fried chicken is brined in sugar, salt and koji. The food is all natural, non GMO and free range.

Props to Josh and team, and we wish you continued success!

Now go getchu some fried chicken! 🐔

All the world’s a stage! 🎭 No better place to celebrate the upcoming Broadway season than at an appreciation party on the @attpac Winspear Opera House stage, under the stunning Moody Chandelier!

What an amazing slate of shows coming our way, including @sixthemusical & @anastasiabway. We even got a special @dallastheatercenter performance of “Giants in the Sky” from @intothewoodsbroadway, coming to the Wyly next April. What a treat!

We also got a chance to try some bites from the Center’s new concessions vendor @gtexascatering, who will be offering new “Center Stage Nosh Boxes,” upscale charcuterie boxes, at upcoming performances. Yum! 🧀

See you at the theatre!
