dallas restaurant review: Lumi: Where East meets South - 02/28/10 10:43 PM
Tonight I tried an interesting new restaurant, Lumi. Located at 3407 McKinney Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood of Dallas, Lumi is a restaurant with a split menu focus... Dumplings and Empanadas.
When my friend Danny suggested we try it out (he had a coupon) I was a bit skeptical about this seemingly schizophrenic East meets South menu combination. I figured, at best, that one half of the menu choices would be good... the mystery was whether it was the Asian influenced dumplings that would score or perhaps the South American influenced empanadas that would be winners.
Well, I am excited to … (6 comments)

dallas restaurant review: Friday Night Pizzas - New at Eatzi's! - 11/22/09 12:58 AM
In the past I have blogged about how much I enjoy the food (and convenience) of Eatzi's. In my blog from March of this year [My Salad (and other food) Days at Eatzi's] I talked about how great their fresh salads are. Well the folks at Eatzi's are no fools, they know if they tempt you with something sinful before you get to the salad station at the rear of the store they can probably entice me. And that's exactly what they have done.
On Friday evenings only, between 4:00 and 9:00 Eatzi's is now offering 4 Hot prepared Pizzas ready … (7 comments)

dallas restaurant review: A Dallas Dining Blog disguised as a Real Estate Blog - 10/18/09 10:52 PM
I am not sure why, but, in addition to real estate topics, I love blogging about my favorite restaurants in Dallas and someone suggested to me that I provide my blog readers with a reference summary of my reviews. I am not a professional foodie or food critic, but I do like to eat and I do know which meals I enjoyed and which ones left a bad taste in my mouth.
Jon Zolsky suggested that I leave a disclaimer on my restaurant posts, so, just for the record, I have not ever, nor will I ever accept any gratuity, free … (6 comments)

dallas restaurant review: Having Dinner with an Old Friend: Gloria's Restaurant - 10/18/09 09:47 PM
When I bought my first home 13 years ago, I lived in Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff, at the time, did not offer a wide variety of restaurants, but one that stood out from the many Tex Mex restaurants was a Restaurant called Gloria's.
Located at 600 W. Davis Street, Gloria's was different than many other restaurants because of the freshness of the food, the black bean dip that was served with the chips and salsa, and the Salvadoran influence in the food.
Gloria's has always been a favorite of mine. The menu has good diversity, not only featuring Tex Mex favorites … (4 comments)

dallas restaurant review: Maple & Motor: A Bacon & Burger Bonanza! - 10/18/09 09:21 PM
Yesterday I finally had the chance to check out the Dallas burger joint that everyone has been buzzing about... Maple & Motor. Let me just say that:
1. It was worth the wait.
2. I am kicking myself for not getting there sooner.
3. I will be going back.
4. YUM!
Maple & Motor is located at 4810 Maple Avenue, across the street from Dallas' Elliott's Hardware. They have a rather simple menu that is done exceptionally well. Burgers and Sandwiches(including Chicken, BLT's Grilled Cheese, Brisket and Fried Bologna) as well as Fries, Cheese Fries and Onion Rings. I had a … (6 comments)

dallas restaurant review: Taverna: Authentic Italian Food Prepared Authentically! - 09/20/09 11:14 PM
One of the downsides of being on a diet is that my regular blog posts about my favorite local restaurants get sidelined. Well, this week I cheated a bit and had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Taverna.
Taverna was created by local restaurateur Alberto Lombardi and has some of the most wonderful food in town. It is always fresh, robust and excellently prepared and presented. The food is not typical pizza/pasta/chicken fare. It is a more traditional upscale Italian featuring seafood specialties, risottos (my favorite is the parmesan cheese and truffle oil risotto), excellent ,meat entrees including beef tenderloin … (4 comments)

dallas restaurant review: After a Month, the Verdict is in… There is Good Deli in Dallas - 08/30/09 02:18 PM
Dallas has never been known as a Deli town. Tex Mex? Yes. BBQ? Yes. But not Deli. Well perhaps the tide is shifting.
Last month Zinsky’s Delicatessen & Catering Co. opened at 6025 Royal Lane, in the Preston Royal Shopping Center at the Northeast corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane. Having grown up in New Jersey and Lived in New York City, my cravings caught up to me and yesterday I went and checked out the new deli in town.
Zinsky’s is the creation of Jim Baron and Mark Brezinski, both established and well respected restaurateurs. Jim has built the … (3 comments)
