Dessert review: Sugar Box Dessert Bar

The macarons had far exceeded their shelf life. Sugar Box Dessert Bar recently opened their second location at The Shops at Legacy in Plano. They’ve been open for some time in The West Village, but the feedback I received in regards to their cupcakes d... »

Theater review: Art of Murder at Theatre Three in Dallas

A truly wonderful piece of art. Theatre Three has a reputation for producing high quality entertainment. Over the years audiences have been lucky enough to see some of the best performances in DFW spring from the stage at Theatre Three. Art of... »

Theater review: Superior Donuts at Theatre Three in Dallas

The cast is a consistent joy. A guy I once knew used to joke that a Democrat is a Republican who’s never been mugged. In other words: Adversity crushes idealism. Job was faithful, chipper and devout until he got stuck in a wager between God and Satan. ... »

Theater review part troix: The Turn of the Screw at McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas

It’s nice to leave the theater with a sense of confusion. “Suspense, horror and repressed sexuality” are what await you in Kitchen Dog Theater’s production of The Turn of the Screw (playing at McKinney Avenue Contemporary through April 28). The plot of... »

Theater review part deux: The Turn of the Screw at McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas

Virulent, febrile eroticism. The difference between poetry and synopsis is distillation and gloss. Distillation conveys the essence of content without sacrificing lyricism or impact. A gloss gives us the upshot of the material without going into great ... »

Theater review: Turn of the Screw at McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas

The play keeps the audience on edge until the final blackout. In a world often excessively high-tech it is unusual to see an artistic production as low-tech as Turn of the Screw (playing at McKinney Avenue Contemporary through April 28). The story by H... »

Theater review: Superior Donuts at Theatre Three in Dallas

I left emotionally satisfied ... and craving donuts. Donuts to me are a comfort food. I don't indulge in them often, but every now and then I crave one, and it is a food item that seldom disappoints. While it may not nourish the body, it can nurture th... »

Union Bear offers casual atmosphere, craft beverages

Union Bear is a creation dedicated to creation; a restaurant not established to fit into a culture, but built to create it. Kyle Steed’s contribution to Union Bear wasn’t in the kitchen. He didn’t have much to do with the layout of the restaurant, eith... »

Restaurant review: Union Bear in Dallas

A great low-key spot for lunch. A favorite colleague of mine and I tried Union Bear on Friday. This new hot spot is located inside of the old Social House spot in West Village. They have totally redone the entire space and it has an open market feel. W... »

Sutra in Plano closed, will become Pepper Smash, A Cocktail Kitchen

Theater review: The Farnsworth Invention at Theatre Three in Dallas

Full of passion and quick wit. Stop. Stop reading this review. Seriously. Don't go any further until you order tickets to a performance of The Farnsworth Invention at Theatre Three (playing through March 17). Every second you waste reading these words ... »

Malai Kitchen in Dallas' West Village is not your typical neighborhood Thai

Unusual entrees and a specialty cocktail list by mixologist Jason Kosmos. Their happy hour does, in fact, make people happy. Their superlative concept has not gone unnoticed. Delectable desserts and burgers at brunch are a few of their highlights, and ... »

Theater review part deux: La Bête at Theatre Three in Dallas

A witty, exhilarating comedy. I have often wondered how I would respond to a play comprised entirely of rhyming couplets, and last week at Theatre Three’s production of David Hirson’s La Bête, I got my chance. Rhyming in theatre serves much the same pu... »

Dallas-Fort Worth environmental group support makes great holiday gift

Instead of taking for yourself, try giving back. If you want to support the environmental community this holiday season, there are many nonprofits that offer education programs and enhance local ecology and wildlife. In addition to well-known organizat... »

Theater review: La Bete at Theatre Three in Dallas

The whole production feels tenuous and rigid, an environment that stifles comedy. The French have always had a way of making theater a dense, strictly governed exercise in technique. Neoclassical French theater is difficult to read, let alone perform. ... »
