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.

For $5, poor people can walk into Bowl & Barrel and experience this pretzel. The mustard is a minimal form of the bomb. I [...]

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. [...]
