Savor Dallas: A Delicious Diary

This past weekend was Savor Dallas, our annual two-day, multi-venue food and wine event.  Click the link below to read my full report on Saturday's International Grand Tasting, the centerpiece of this wonderful weekend.  I had an all-access pass, from behind-the-scenes set-up early in the day to an evening filled with chefs, winemakers and lots of amazing dishes and drinks.

ENVY Magazine Food and Wine Issue

Run, don't walk, to pick up the new issue of ENVY Magazine, now available in Dallas!  You'll find it alongside The Observer, PaperCity and the like at dozens of locations all over town.  This special Food and Wine Issue has Mark Wahlberg and Ludacris on the cover and lots of foodie goodies inside to keep your mouth a-waterin' and your dinner calendar full throughout the month of November.

Starting on page 30 is a spread featuring 7 Texas Chefs to Watch, including an interview with the incomparable Dean Fearing.  Two of the profiles in the piece were penned by yours truly, and while I won't divulge their subjects, I can promise the stories will leave you longing for a taste of what these talented guys are cooking up at their respective Dallas-area restaurants.

Other tasty tidbits in this issue include a guide to late-night eats for the discerning post-party palate and a fascinating exploration of the science and soul behind cravings.  ...Who knew that my chocolate jones could signify a B vitamin deficiency or a desire for more freedom in my life?
