I actually support the gasoline tax increase... but good article pointing out Perry's many contradictions.

Ethics of Food panel stirs it up on Friday at Dallas Institute of Humanities
I felt briefly guilty about ordering the short rib sandwich right after the discussion, but then I tasted it and the guilt melted away, like the way the tender short ribs were melting in my mouth. Some days just don't feel like farm raised tilapia sandwich days, ya know?

We've got a photo of the State Fair of Texas fried butter right here
Fried tiny buttery biscuit isn't worth $1/pop. Fried balls of pure, unapologetic, Paula Dean-esque, butter joy would've been. Duped again.

Asia Grill (Closed)
I think this place has closed... swung by for lunch the other day and no sign of civilization in its old spot.

Dallas-area restaurants hunker down for onslaught of Valentine's Day marriage proposals
I've always heard that the night before Valentine's Day (13th) was always booked full and referred to as Mistress Day. And when the dude goes to the same restaurant on Valentine's Day asks the restaurant to act like they didn't just see him the night before.
When will ppl learn to just stay at home for V-Day, New Year's Eve, etc?

Perry's Restaurant in Dallas holding contest to change its name
I've never been to the Perry's in Dallas and actually had previously assumed it was the same Perry's as the one in Houston. Fascinating.

Vickery Park, casual restaurant-bar on Henderson, to open second branch in old downtown Plano
Since Fireside Pies and Grimaldi's both have representation in Plano, I think Olivella's should scope out a spot in downtown Plano. That would be rockin.

Brothers Fried Chicken in East Dallas shuts down
Opinions differed. I personally prefer the salty skin at Babe's. But anyway, truly sad news.

Fort Worth-based Oroweat cuts out high fructose corn syrup from its breads
Does that mean we'll start finding some other obiquitous curiously named substance in our foods soon? I hate to consider the possibilities.

New product Wednesday, at Dallas-area stores: Doritos Taco flavor
Doritos Fiery Habanero is the greatest Dorito flavor, no question about it.

Funny, I got the 14 number off of the Los Cucos website. Perhaps they've opened so many they've lost count!

Austin-American Statesman trades on dated cliches in its "20 Reasons to Visit Dallas-Fort Worth" piece
It's just a ploy to ensure that visitors from Austin are satisfied with the superiority of dining in their own city.
