    This Week in Gluttony

    These are the 9 best food and drink events in Dallas-Fort Worth this week

    Feb 21, 2017 | 6:00 am

    The last full week in February brings no shortage of fun food events around Dallas-Fort Worth. Wine is a big theme, with over half the events focused on it to some degree, but you can also indulge in special cocktails, margaritas, crawfish, and beer.

    Tuesday, February 21

    Cane Rosso presents Happy Week
    Cane Rosso kicks off its new Spring cocktail menu at each of its five Dallas-Fort Worth locations, and that includes the return of crowd favorite Frozen Limoncello. All specialty cocktails will be at happy hour prices — that's $5 each — every day through Sunday. While you're enjoying the cheap drinks, you can also eat some of the best pizza the area has to offer.

    2017 Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival: Centerstage
    A precursor to the actual festival in March, CenterStage celebrates fine food and fine arts with a caviar-and-champagne reception in the Grand Lobby at Bass Performance Hall, followed by dinner on the elaborately set stage. Fort Worth chefs like Denise Shavandy and Donatella Trotti will collaborate for the event, with each course matched with a prized wine carefully chosen to complement the cuisine and its region of origin.

    Wednesday, February 22

    T. Blanco's Grand Opening and National Margarita Day
    T.Blanco’s Mexican Cantina, which recently started serving fine Mexican cuisine in Addison, celebrates its grand opening to coincide with National Margarita Day. The evening event features free margaritas — said to "rival any in town" — light bites, music, and a raffle with exciting prizes.

    Abacus Wine Dinner: Goldschmidt Wines
    Led by executive chef Christopher Patrick, Abacus has created a special menu of delicious starters and four courses to be expertly paired with Goldschmidt Wines. Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt will be on hand to interact with diners and speak about the lineup of red and white wines, which includes a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.

    Cogill Wine & Film Oscar 2017 Preview
    Gary Cogill, KXAS-TV film critic, and his wife Hayley Hamilton Cogill, sommelier and founder of Dallas Uncorked, present an evening of wine and film toasting the 2017 Oscars at Studio Movie Grill Royal Lane, benefiting the Dallas Film Society. Gary will walk through the top nominations for the 89th Annual Academy Awards, which take place February 26. Hayley will join the discussion, pairing a selection of wines with key award contenders and categories. Light appetizers and movie favorites from Studio Movie Grill’s menu are included with the selections.

    Thursday, February 23

    The Grape presents Come-As-You-Are Wine Dinner
    For its monthly event, The Grape presents a special Chef’s Come-As-You-Are “Samplings from Mediterranean” wine dinner. Sous chef Scott Girling, who spent six months studying at the Italian Culinary Institute in Calabria, takes the lead, featuring an intimate three-course bistro menu to complement selected wines. Special guest host is John Keeton from Virtuoso Selections.

    Mom-and-pop Asian chain from Austin makes Dallas debut in McKinney

    A small Asian chain from Austin has entered the Dallas market: Called Fire Bowl Cafe, it's a small chain that has opened its first DFW location in McKinney, at 4060 W. University Dr. #300, in a new shopping center west of US-75.

    Fire Bowl Cafe was founded by husband-and-wife Gigi Lee and Daniel Pao in 1996 with a focus on customizable bowls prepared in sizzling woks. They have four locations in Austin and one in Colorado.

    Bringing the concept to McKinney is Dallas-based hospitality group DLC Restaurant Holdings (Firo Pizza, Craft Pies Pizza, Desperados), according to a release.

    “We are thrilled to bring Fire Bowl Café to McKinney and introduce our unique dining experience to the wonderful community here,” says CEO Mike Daniel in a statement. “Our mission is to ensure that every customer leaves satisfied and happy, and we can’t wait to share our passion for fresh, customizable Asian cuisine with our new neighbors in North Texas."

    To give it local flavor, they've partnered with Julian Rodarte, who co-founded Beto & Son, the Mexican restaurant at Trinity Groves in west Dallas, and also served as Trinity Groves' CEO. He was briefly executive chef at COSM at Grandscape and is currently culinary director for Dee Lincoln Concepts.

    The menu has a Pei-Wei vibe, featuring a mashup of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisines, with favorites like edamame, spring rolls, crab rangoon, pad Thai, pot stickers, and lettuce wraps.

    There are noodle and rice bowls, topped with vegetables and choice of protein; and a make-it-your-way stir-fry where you choose from proteins like chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu, tossed in a wok with vegetables, then combine it with your choice of "carb" — noodles, brown or white rice — and a wide selection of sauces, from teriyaki to spicy peanut to classic Chinese.

    Prices are $12-$14. They do not currently serve alcohol, but have plans for it at a future date.
