As a bit of a beer snob/geek I say hurrah too!

TG, you really do your homework. Keep at it!

Is Bordeaux's Cajun Kitchen on par with Pappadeaux's?

I need to get my rear end down to Bishop Arts District! It's getting way cooler than Dallas other restaurant rows.

Liberty was the first restaurant that boasted not only authentic Asian flavors and noodle dishes (beyond Pad Thai), but also an incredibly hip environment. Without Annie it might have been just another concept restaurant, all flash and no substance. Without Liberty paving the way, Dallas might have stayed well behind the Asian food curve. Thank you for reporting this. Annie Wong should be remembered, and honored.

I was really enjoying the lively (albeit geeky) debate over water and pizza dough, until pizzalover got scarily hostile, resorting to name calling and hurling insults. That's unfortunate. Really, I liked all the dough/water talk not so much for the content, but for the passion the writers seem to have about pizza and crust. It's that kind of zeal that fosters a "food city" environment -- one that actually spurs food entrepreneurs to take risks, open quirky joints, open authentic ethnic joints. Pizzalover should take a hard look at the "my momma would be proud of what I just wrote" label on the submit button before every writing again. Just because we write anonymously on the net doesn't mean we shouldn't be guided by a shred of decency. Scary how anonymity can bring out the worst in ourselves. We are writing to other people, not for ourselves. Save the anger for your journal/diary.

Glad to see another REAL pizza joint in town --especially one where I can bring my own wine. Actually, I like a dry sparkling Prosecco with pizza. But my Italian friend says that in Italy they always drink BEER with pizza.

Can't wait to check it out. The Metroplex is lacking in authentic regional Mexican food -- ironic, since there are so many immigrants from all over Mexico here. But hey, it takes $$$ to get a restaurant going. Let's hope that local diners will break out of their Tex Mex rut and give the REAL DEAL a chance.

The Coffee origins class sounds cool. White Rock Coffee is awesome It's hard to imagine going back to Starbucks after sampling White Rock's Coffee. Basically, Starbucks roasts the daylights out of everything, to create a uniform product -- that tastes burnt. That's why they sell so many lattes -- their black coffee is so awful that you really need to mix a ton of milk and sugar in it to avoid gagging. The real test of good coffee is if it tastes wonderful black. White Rock's coffee rocks.
