One Arts Plaza Is the Place to Be for Happy Hour

posted by Todd Johnson | April 17th, 2009 9:44am | filed under cheap eats, cocktails, Events, Special Offers, Wine & Spirits | 3 Comments »

one-arts-plaza-surrealI dropped by Dali last night before attending a DSO concert. (Query: Is there such a thing as conductor’s elbow? Because that Van Zweden guy was brandishing that baton like he was going to kill the entire strings section.) Anyway, One Arts Plaza was hopping. Live music on Fedora’s patio. Dali was doing brisk service. Lots of liquored up revelers having a great time. It was the place to be. Now, I know why. One Arts is offering all types of happy hour specials with free valet service until 6 p.m. Want the complete list? Might as well jump.

wholefoodsmarkettaxdayMy taxes are definitely causing me problems. I hope I’m not alone here. But even lucky people who are getting refunds and not paying the government thousands of dollars they don’t have will appreciate this offer from Whole Foods. On Wednesday, April 15, all the Whole Foods locations will pay your sales tax for you. Yep, you won’t pay sales tax all day on ANYTHING. Food, clothes, Tom’s shoes, beer, wine, whatever. Very nice.

With that, we’re out. We have a half day today. Happy Easter, everyone, and happy eating.

Araucana Easter Eggs from Flavors From Afar

posted by Todd Johnson | March 31st, 2009 3:15pm | filed under Breakfast, Holidays, Special Offers |

Because SideDishers can’t just hunt everyday grocery store eggs for Easter, Flavors From Afar is taking orders for all-pastel, all-Araucana eggs from Fruth Farms in East Texas. (By the way, Araucana is a breed of Chilean chicken that lays blue eggs. Yes, I had to look it up.) Anyway, FFA owner Nancy Krabill boasts that these fancy eggs are “eggier” tasting with bright orange yolks and after one taste, you’ll be hooked. For $5.50 per dozen, they best be tasty. Order now because apparently they go fast.

Flights of Fancy Margaritas at Sala

posted by Todd Johnson | March 20th, 2009 9:34am | filed under Beverages, cheap eats, cocktails, Restaurant News, Special Offers, Wine & Spirits |

Chef/owner Doug Brown’s new Tex-Mex joint in his old Amuse spot in the Cedars is pretty cool and the appetizers are mighty tasty. (Queso with chorizo and crispy, juicy taquitos = OMG get those in my mouth now) But what won my table over last night were Sala’s margarita flights. Much like wine and tequila flights (which the restaurant does as well), you can do a vertical tasting of three different frozen libations. We opted for the swirl flight and sipped on blood orange, passion fruit, and cactus pear versions. Best of all, flights are half price on Thursdays. It’s such a great idea, I have to wonder: Does anyone else in town offer margarita flights? And, if so, why aren’t I drinking there?

Can Somebody Help This Poor Girl: King Cake Edition

posted by Sarah Eveans | February 23rd, 2009 2:08pm | filed under Silly Reasons to Celebrate, Special Offers | 16 Comments »

Just back from lunch, and this girl asked a questions I’ve been wondering myself:

Where can I find some authentic King Cake in Dallas?! I want one that has a trinket inside (usually the Baby Jesus)!! Please help! :) I know La Madeleine has some but I’ve never tried theirs!! Is it good?

Yes Dishers, she likes exclamation points, but to me, it just shows a sweet enthusiasm for Fat Tuesday. Can we help her? I’ve tried Whole Food’s King Cake, and it was delish. Not sure about the baby Jesus though.

TJ’s Wants To Make Lent A Little Easier

posted by Sarah Eveans | February 18th, 2009 10:22am | filed under seafood, Special Offers, Uncategorized |

I’m not Catholic. I don’t participate in Lent. But if I did, I would probably be one of those people who gives up pears, or something else I don’t normally eat.

But! If you are participating, TJ’s wants to make it easy on you. During Lent (Feb 25–April 11), they’re going to have all kinds of fish already prepared and ready to go out the door. Salmon, trout, orange roughy, etc., with extra orders made on Fridays.

TJ’s also has a King Creole Cajun Feast for Mardi Gras revelers. Crawfish etouffee, gumbo, dirty rice, salad, bread and butter for $19.95 per person. I am so hungry.

Jump for the full menu and details.

Geniuses at Einstein’s Giving Away Bagels

posted by Stacey Yervasi | February 9th, 2009 10:22am | filed under Coffee, Special Offers | 2 Comments »

I stopped to grab a coffee at Einstein’s Bros. Bagels at Mockingbird and Abrams on my way in to work (their Winter Blend is one of my favorite drip coffees of all time, but moving on). I pulled up and there was a tent of sorts outside the store, which I thought might be an efficiency measure for people picking up bagels by the dozen. Nope. The store is undergoing remodeling through Wednesday, and until then they’re giving away bagels, schmears, muffins, and coffee. I really just wanted a coffee (no Winter Blend, however they had my second favorite, Vanilla Hazelnut, on tap), but the kindly bageler insisted I take some food, too. I asked for one cinnamon raisin bagel (my son’s favorite), and when I got in my car, found that he had put in two. Go getcha some.
