Delicious, but neither fried nor crazy expensive, Dallas seafood options
The Seafood Shack for big bowls of steaming fish soup.

Frozen Artichoke Hearts??
I found them at the Kroger at the intersection of Marsh and Beltline.
Frozen Artichoke Hearts??
Kroger carries frozen artichoke heats in a bag. You can use as many as you need. Not fresh, but not bad.
DFW: Lola closing.
I went to the tasting room Saturday night. I'd made reservations before the closing announcement and before the less than stellar review in Friday's paper. The food and service were spot on. I didn't have the wine parings, but the pours appeared to be quite generous (an issue in the review.) While the main dining room appeared to be packed, the tasting room was only half full. The only off aspect of the experience was the notion in the back of my mind that this would soon be gone. Such a pity.
Trader Joes - DFW
I got all excited and went to their website. There are six cities where TJ's is listed as "coming soon." Dallas is not one of them. Sadly.
Oysters in Portland
Based on your recommendations, we gave tried and true Dan and Louis' a pass on this visit, with no regrets. We sampled oysters at Ten-01 and EAT Oyster Bar. Ten-01 only had one variety, but we enjoyed them in quantity. EAT Oyster Bar had a tempting selection of six different types, of which we tried four. They were all sweet and succlent, but the Hama Hamas were amazing.
Thanks for your help!
Oysters in Portland
Thank you, JillO. We'll do our best to hit them all and will definitely enjoy!
Oysters in Portland
We're making our annual Portland pilgrimage this weekend and need some oyster help. We've enjoyed Dan and Louis' many times for fresh local oysters on the half shell at half price during happy hour. Where else would you recommend? I saw Alberta St Oyster Bar mentioned previously, but am not familiar with it. We'll be staying in S.E., but have a car. Thanks.
DFW - Salvadoran Restaurants - DFW
There are two at the corner of Webb Chapel and Beltline in Carrollton. Lucia's Cocina on Webb Chapel is Salvadoran, Mexican, and Tex-Mex. It's full service. I ate there maybe 6 months ago. I had a shrimp dish that was good, but that's all I remember. On Webb Chapel is a little place called Mama Tita Pupsas. It looks pretty bare bones.
DFW - Best Place to get Poulet De Bresse - DFW
At the bottom of the wikipedia site is a link to the official French association site. Did you go there? What a hoot! Only the French! There's an email link. Perhaps you could try that route. It doesn't sound like they share many of these birds. Let us know if you snag one.

French Macaron's in Dallas?
I've had macarons there. I'm not sure they're made on site, but they do seem authentic.
Addison Rec.s
Thanks for your responses. We ended up going to Mi Piaci. We ordered different appetizers, entrees, and desserts, and we were all pleased. There was a lapse in the service toward the end and the room was too loud, but other than that we enjoyed the meal and will be back.
Addison Rec.s
Five of us had planned a celebratory meal at Kenny's Woodfire Grill tomorrow, but they're all booked up. We've enjoyed both of the Chamberlains and Oceanaire (often noisy). We're not big meat eaters. Ferrari's is not quite special enough. Any thoughts?
Slow Cooker Recomendations?
I appreciate your responses and references. 'Seems people really enjoy this appliance. Maybe I should get one for myself . . .
Thanks
Slow Cooker Recomendations?
I want to purchase a slow cooker as a gift. I don't own one and have never used one. What should I look for? (Price should be under $100) Thanks.
Abacus ** out of *****
Are the restaurants you're referring to available all three weeks of RW?
Arc-en-Ciel Gone! [DFW]
I just stopped by Arc-en-Ciel in Richardson for lunch and it was closed. I am devastated. When did this happen? Why did this happen? Anyone know?
Abacus ** out of *****
My sources are people in the industry, too. Restaurants supporting RW can choose their level of participation. Some restaurants do a few seats for one week, others embrace it more fully. In some cities lunch is an option. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Abacus ** out of *****
Please note - Abacus is the ONLY participant in RW that devotes every seat in the house for the entire three weeks. My hat's off to them.
Hummus/Falafel in DFW area?
Welcome. For cheap and quick you might try Shine's Market on Beltline just east of Preston. It's Lebanese via South America.
Restaurant Week Old Warsaw Style
Thanks for clarifying what DOT does. 'Definitely sounds worth while. Nonetheless, I have to wonder what's going on. It seems exploitative at least.
Restaurant Week Old Warsaw Style
Like many of you, I'm enjoying Restaurant Week. I was curious about The Old Warsaw's full page ad in Friday's paper which states that their four course meal for Restaurant Weeks (the "s" is in their add, only) benefits Dot. When I called the restaurant and asked what Dot was, I was told that it's an organization in Dallas that "helps old people." I Googled Dot in Dallas and could find nothing related. Unlike the other establishments participating in Restaurant Week, The Old Warsaw does not donate $7 from the cost of each dinner to the Lena Pope Home and the North Texas Food Bank. Are they being intensionally misleading? What's going on here?
