FT33′s Executive Chef Matt McCallister welcomes McCrady’s Chef de Cuisine, Jeremiah Langhorne, for a guest chef dinner & one-of-a-kind dining experience.

We were on our way to Bread Winners for Sunday brunch, but decided to eat at Jake’s after seeing the massive line out front.

Thumbnail image for First Week Staging with Chef John Tesar April 20, 2013

It’s necessary to cut to the chef shoe chase. I’m almost positive chef John Tesar wears Prada chef shoes. This is how I feel after spending three nights staging at Spoon Bar & Kitchen this week. I thought about taking a muscle relaxer the first day, but responsibly realized taking pills on the job might [...]

Studio Movie Grill

Thumbnail image for Studio Movie Grill April 15, 2013

Serving food and drinks at a movie theater is nothing more than a minimal bonus that should not excite anyone. Do not get your hopes in a tizzy thinking this movie theater’s food will ever exceed a concession stand status. The odds simply do not exist. There’s this red button movie people are supposed to [...]

My Externship at Spoon with Chef John Tesar

Thumbnail image for My Externship at Spoon with Chef John Tesar April 11, 2013

I enrolled in culinary school to acquire the necessary skills to become a credible food critic. Much more knowledge is obviously necessary to advance from an opinionated true-story-telling food writer to a real deal food critic. While this may be laughable to at least 48 comment trolls in Texas, it’s a goal that will eventually [...]

Belly & Trumpet

Thumbnail image for Belly & Trumpet March 28, 2013

Belly & Trumpet’s interior design will send even the busiest mind spiraling into the darkest part of the unknown. Complete painting drama, filled with an explosion of heartbroken girls, adorn every wall. Maybe these sadly depressed girls appear sadly depressed because some kind of controlling woman-hater-painter decided their painting fate would be a life nailed [...]

DISH Restaurant & Lounge

Thumbnail image for DISH Restaurant & Lounge February 26, 2013

We recently stopped by DISH for a radio interview with executive chef Garreth Dickey. This guy seems to be one of those under-the-radar chefs that are not all that interested in receiving fluff. His demeanor assured me that he’s probably never yelled at anyone and probably holds the door for senior citizens daily. Besides being [...]

Hypnotic Donuts

Thumbnail image for Hypnotic Donuts February 16, 2013

Hypnotic Donuts is in a donut league of its own. Krispy Kreme Donuts must feel totally inadequate. They squeaked by all these years with super duper snoozer donuts, only to be smashed into last place with the arrival of Hypnotic Donuts. In an instant, Krispy Kreme morphed into worthless. A nonsense kind of donut place. [...]
