The best bar in Dallas, 75254?

2/26/2014

 

Kenny's Grille gets our pick as the best bar in the 75254 zip code of North Dallas.


Kenny's Grill is located just off the Tollway and Beltline in the Southwest corner, near the gas station on the corner. There's a Marble Slab in there as well if I'm not mistaken. It's part of the Addison Walk Shopping Center and affiliated with the equally good Italian restaurant of the same name.


Why this place is amazing:
  • Great drink specials
  • Great crab cake appetizer
  • Awesome setting and vibe
  • A well-stocked bar
  • The pork chops
  • The French toast
  • Bloody Mary's are great


It's also fancy without being pretentious, which is nice. Kenny's features standard business hours for a bistro. It harkens back to an old-school Chicago style restaurant and the bar is pretty awesome. 

If you live in the 75254 zip code and are looking for a good local bar with some great food, this is the spot. It's particularly convenient for visitors to Dallas who flew into the Addison Airport. Visit Kenny's website for more.

The new Dream Cafe on Montfort is as good as the old Dream Cafe on Montfort

2/25/2014

 
The new Dream Cafe, now located near Sherlock's in Addison, is now open. The menu hasn't changed and is still amazing. Worth checking out if you are looking for some pretty healthy food in the area. Whole Foods can also help with that issue.

We recommend: The Greek Burger, Shrimp Tacos


The new location on Beltline near the Tollway:

Is LOOK Cinema the best movie theater in North Dallas? I do believe so...

2/18/2014

 
On my way to the greatness of Houston's restaurant on Beltline as often as possible over the past year, I couldn't help but notice a giant eyesore of a building going up across the street near Panera Bread.

A brief history lesson: This spot was formerly a Studio Movie Grille until people apparently got tired of eating and watching movies at the same time and the place closed/moved to Royal and 75. But I digress.

This new building looked to be the world's largest optometrist or some oversized Costco of the eyeglasses world. I didn't know what to think. It just said "LOOK" on the front of it and look I did. It then came to light that this was a new movie theater and would also house a Nick and Sam's grill and a Coal Vines. I was intrigued.

Cutting to the chase:

LOOK Cinemas is amazing. If I had to design a movie theater, it would look just like this. Sorry for all the "look" puns. Anyway, it's impeccably clean and modern and the theaters themselves feature couches and all kinds of amazing technology. But don't tell people about it! The first rule of LOOK Cinemas should be that you don't talk about LOOK Cinemas. Why?

Because it seems like a lot of people don't know about it. It hasn't been overrun with mobs of humanity and the bathrooms are still nice and there isn't garbage everywhere. It's a sweet little gem that I hope sticks around for a long time and stays classy. I wouldn't see a movie anywhere else in North Dallas - it's the best in the area and BOND approved.

After a truly awful winter, spring is here...

2/18/2014

 
After a ridiculous winter that saw the north Dallas area blanketed in snow on at least 3 separate occasions over the last few months, the sun has returned to the solar system apparently.

This has to be some kind of record for most snow in a 3 year span. Remember the 2010 NBA All Star Game? SNOW. Remember the Super Bowl? SNOW. (That was the worst). Christmas 2012. SNOW. And on and on. Give me El Nino anyway.

What to do in North Dallas now that the weather is nice: You can sit on any number of restaurant patios and have a drink. Check out the Blue Mesa on Montfort near the new Whole Foods for a good example of a patio. You can take your dog to the dog park. You can compete in an ironic adult kick-ball league with your co-workers. The point being: Get yourself some Vitamin D now that it's available via the sun again. That weather was getting depressing!

More local Dallas news: The Tollway (southbound) has been a cluster for the past week with construction. You've been warned. The greatest highway in the history of north Dallas (and most aptly titled) seems to be getting some sort of a makeover.

Was the Broncos vs. Seahawks Super Bowl the Worst Ever?

2/3/2014

 
North Dallas residents popped down in front of the TV yesterday expecting a football game. And then the game actually started. So there's a safety on the first play from scrimmage for the 3rd straight year apparently. The odds on that must be astronomical and I'm sure someone out there is very happy they decided to take the 12-1 odds on such a play occurring.

This was a horrible Super Bowl, the worst I can remember in the last decade. The last bad game that comes to mind was the Ravens vs. the Giants that ended up being a similarly one-sided affair. However, that Giants team didn't have the greatest offense ever so this was even more stunning.

Yes, it seems Seattle might be well on their way to forming the next great dynasty in the NFL. They have another year at least before guys like Russell Wilson want to talk about their contracts. That NFC West is just nasty right now.
