Yeah, now you'll need WFAA+ or whatever it's called. Really dumb. I think they're telegraphing to everyone that the ceremony is gonna suck

Our 2025 Michelin Guide Star Predictions for Dallas - D Magazine From what I'm hearing, prepare for disappointment.

From what I’m hearing, prepare for disappointment.

fusilli too, but the effort, commentary, and clarity of thinking cannot be praised highly enough!

Inside Dallas’ Disastrous El Califa De León Michelin Taco Pop-Up - D Magazine Nobody came out of the pop-up looking good: not the restaurant, its host, its customers, Dallas food media, or the Michelin Guide.

@reinhart.bsky.social Nailed it. Nailed Dallas diners! Nailed Michelin! Nailed El Califa de León! Nailed influencers! www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2...

Four New Taquerías Every Dallas Taco Lover Should Try Instead of ridiculous viral stunts with two-hour lines, why not visit fun new restaurants that are here to stay?

@dszymborski.fangraphs.com heads up, ZiPS thinks Seattle won last night

Aha! I didn't imagine it!

Is angel hair pasta still super uncool, or did someone publish a contrarian "actually, angel hair is great" thinkpiece yet?

(not taking sides. real question.)

Inside Evelyn, the New Design District Steakhouse - D Magazine There were a few hits and a few hiccups at the Design District's newest steakhouse, an Old Hollywood fantasia.

Pause your news intake to read a review of a very funny, very odd restaurant (one with free prosecco in the ladies' room).

Chicago bartender wisdom: "There's no such thing as a too chaotic breakfast."

Had a satisfying dream that I was in a bookstore with hyper specific section names like Novels With Uniquely Weird Plots, Crafting for Really Clueless Beginners, and British Celebrity Gossip

ChatGPT billboard suggesting that you use the following prompt: "Check out my lease. Is painting my walls OK or a mistake?"

ChatGPT is taking out billboards suggesting that people use it for legal advice. Yikes!

oh wow wait I forgot Ritual is N/A - so that's essentially $11 for a N/A shot and ice?!

the "did not like" discount is interesting too!

was the margarita on the menu but the whiskey drink not?

I got charged $3 to put a non-alcoholic drink on ice

@reinhart.bsky.social add Cane Rosso to the drink prep fees list, although they didn't do the same for the margaritas.

I did not know the parenthetical part of this!!! slightly gobsmacked

the restaurant also boasts a private limo service to pick you up from your house!

@gametheory.bsky.social inbox: "Dallas' first Korean Wagyu omakase dining experience, Jo'Seon Wagyu Omakase, will open its doors in fall 2025 at 1628 Oak Lawn Ave...blending Japanese A5 wagyu with Korean beef techniques...an immersive dining concept...large projection screens with AI enhancements"

dude driving past a strip mall and seeing 5 little hole in the wall restaurants in it is both the most exciting thing for me, and the scariest because what if I never try them all!

The way I read it, it's arguing for a much smaller one surrounded by parks, new development, a performance venue, etc.

So you wrote "endorsing the convention center"
But I read it as endorsing neither the current center nor the city's proposed solution.

The Case for Tearing Down Dallas’ Convention Center Dallas’ convention center is an absurd, obsolete, cobbled- together mess floating on a sea of concrete. This month the City Council will decide whether we should spend $500 million on its deferred mai...

a couple more unconventional suggestions: fancypants lobster corn dogs at Tango Room, and the Big Mex at Las Almas Rotas (chorizo spiced, sold during the fair because their business suffers from the competition)

The homepage is covered in birthday balloons so you can't see any articles.

Finally, I can censor the @fangraphs.com homepage!

I heard a live DJ play "Stayin' Alive" twice in an hour at a restaurant Sunday, but yours seems worse. That's like the old Quiznos corporate playlists

catching up on the thread and seeing mentions of Laura Ingalls Wilder, M.I.A., Barbara Stanwyck, Amy Sherman Palladino, Azealia Banks, Roseanne Barr, but curiously not JK Rowling.

Not really answering, just tabulating. To me, Eve Babitz is a darn near perfect answer.
