Plano named second most vain city in the U.S.
I'm in disbelief that Fort Worth is #12. I thought Fort Worth was the "real" part of DFW!

Sigel's to return with Winter Food Truck Festival on November 12
This sounds familiar to the fiasco that was the Gypsy Trailer Festival in Austin... for some reason food from a mobile kitchen really draws the crowds. I can't figure it out.

Mariel Street, daughter of Dallas restaurateur Gene, to open Liberty Burger
Kudos to Mariel for not giving into the temptation of variety and scrapping chicken and nachos. I love it when restaurants (especially casual ones) dedicate themselves to doing one thing and one thing well.

Taco review: Torchy's Tacos in Dallas
Torchy's is good for their "inventive" tacos, but you're right that the traditional choices don't stand up next to taquerias (who are also cheaper). Try The Democrat next time you're at Torchy's though, that's my second favorite after the Dirty Sanchez.

Pho Colonial in North Dallas opens with party and media lunch
It was definitely business savvy of them to do so. I'm just a romantic though, I love the charm associated with discovering that ethnic hole in the wall (where there are plenty of language barriers) and your experience is enhanced by the fact that you had to resort to hand signs to order.

Does hosting a media dinner make ethnic restaurants less authentic?

Top Chef All-Stars Episode 12: Judges are spineless
The best part was watching Dan Barber pretend to be enthusiastic about trying those disasterous QuickFire dishes. You know, the way a parent has to pretend when their kid brings home a new piece of "art."

A sad day.

Dallas Vegan Week, Night 3: Salum in Dallas
There's something about that liquid surrounding the puree that just looks unappealing... I don't know.

Dallas Vegan Week, Night 2: Stephan Pyles in Dallas
Sounds delicious. Though I kind of wish it was completely processed food-free.

Dallas chefs Tiffany Derry, Tre Wilcox, Casey Thompson to be on Top Chef All Stars
Can't wait for the new season to start! Of course they also brought back a lot of chefs with big personalities, so the drama should be interesting.

Nancy Pelosi made sure to mention her time in San Francisco to further qualify her status as foodie versus foodie wannabe.

Awesome! We've enjoyed both times we've been to Go Fish very much. And she has such a great background story. I'll be watching!

Dallas guerrilla restaurant 48 Nights throws curve ball on next week's chef
Wow TG, you're good! This menu had me stumped when I saw it this morning, wondering which high end Dallas chef would do Thai style grasshoppers and scorpions.
