Sparks are flying at Stephan Pyles' Stampede 66
Hi, Sarah.
I am surprised that you don't think there is a very real difference between a content provider like, say, Gay List Daily or Taco Trail, which review restaurants in which they don't have a business interest, and Stephan Pyles (or his publicists) blogging about the progress of his own business. It's the difference between reporting and promotion, in my opinion, and it implies some incredibly poor editorial judgment on someone's part for Pegasus to be publishing an unedited commercial blog.
I saw Teresa Gubbins' July 5 statement that Pyles is publishing a blog, but was she responsible for the content partner arrangement?
And Scott asks a good question: Is Teresa Gubbins still with Pegasus News?

Is this the first step in the Belo transition? You're giving a local business its very own, unedited means of directly reaching your readers? If you're doing that in exchange for money or bartered services from Stephan Pyles, shouldn't you disclose that? Say Farewell to any credibility as a news source, Pegasus.

Dallas hotel restaurants on the downturn
I think the Garrett sisters killed all the hotel restaurants.

Even with "air-conditioned eating areas"?

Isn't August a tough time to try to build a following for an outdoor lunch concept?

Ten Bells Tavern in Bishop Arts opens with "butty" on the menu
Add some pulled pork to it, and you could have a Butt Buddy. And probably a heart attack, too.

Crossroads Diner wants to do the best breakfast and lunch in Dallas
"Sole Meniuere" That's funny, and I can only imagine how you might pronounce that.

KXT's Summer Cut concert will be back next year
Too bad KXT's own programming is so lame. I wish they aspired to be like KCRW, rather than JackFM.

"I'd like a serving of Middle Eastern ethnicity," he said, "with a side order of a religion known as Druse. Are fries available with that?"

Nuts, perhaps. But with happy tushies from all that tensile strength.

TG: Danielle looks perfectly rational, and was good-mannered enough to wear pants. Sarah: Thanks for helping me prove my point to TJ ... I mean TG.

Did anyone do an interview with the 19-year-old woman from The Colony who bursts into tears when California companies come to North Texas?

Grocery smackdown: Trader Joe's vs. other markets in Dallas-Fort Worth
I fart in Trader Joe's' general direction. Joe's mother was a hamster, and Joe's father smelled of elderberries.

CampO Modern Country Bistro launches menu by new chef Michael Ehlert
"Waiter, could you ask the chef if he has any unshaven Parmesan in the kitchen?" The menu does look pretty interesting, with or without ketchup.

Dallasfood.org was right about Nutella all along
Nutella is still showing the product on toast, clearly at breakfast. Hard to believe, after they've been sued once for the "good for breakfast" positioning.

Whole Foods Market takes first pre-emptive strike at Trader Joe's
Central Market is also scrambling, apparently. The Plano store had a display of "Cul de Sac" wines today, in the high-traffic area between vegetables and meat/fish. "All varieties" were priced at $2.99/btl. I didn't look closely, but I think they had at least two whites and one red. Two Buck Chuck? Cul de Sac sounds like a dead end to me.

Whataburger introduces Whatachick'n Bites chicken nuggets
TG: You are correct about my dinner tonight. (I'll be having caesar salad with made romaine from our garden.)
"Vegan chicken"? If you exclude earthworms and bugs, aren't all chickens vegan by nature? : )
