    The upcoming Easter holiday is all about brunch, so much so that we made a list of places to enjoy it. That said, Easter brunching can't be done all week, so the food and drink events roundup must go on.

    From an impressive guest at Wine Poste to a chili cook-off for a cause, This Week in Gluttony has you covered.

    Wednesday, April 16

    Goose Island Beer Dinner at Olenjack's Grille
    Olenjack's Grille welcomes Goose Island Beer Company for a beer-pairing dinner. Dishes include BBQ oysters; slow-braised antelope ribs; crawfish cornmeal fritters; tomatoes with arugula, cucumber and mozzarella balls; and chocolate chipotle soufflé. Dinner starts at 7 pm and costs $65 per person. Call 817-226-2600 for reservations.

    Thursday, April 17

    Spanish Wine Dinner with Chef Omar Flores at Wine Poste
    Omar Flores, who recently departed Driftwood to focus on Casa Rubia in Trinity Groves, prepares a five-course Spanish feast, including ajo blanco espuma, calçotada, lomo de cerdo, cordero moruno and cafe con leche. The evening begins with a sparkling wine reception at 7 pm, followed by dinner paired with wines. The cost is $110 per person, and you can reserve a spot by calling 214-272-3221.

    Saturday, April 19

    White Rock Local Market at Lakeside Baptist Church
    At White Rock Local Market, you can find the best local produce, meats and cheese, bread and pastries, pickles, jams, tamales, and more. The market is at Lakeside Baptist Church on the first and third Saturday of the month and the Green Spot on the second and fourth Saturday.

    Young Texans Against Cancer Chili Cook-off for a Cure at The Foundry
    YTAC Dallas and The Foundry present the second annual Chili Cook-off for a Cure from 2-5 pm. Teams of YTAC supporters bring the heat with chilis while guests indulge in tastings, beer, and live music from Tanner Louis and The Aviators. Tickets are $30 for members of YTAC and $45 for nonmembers. Proceeds benefit the Dallas chapter of Young Texans Against Cancer, a nonprofit organization that focuses on raising funds for local cancer research and support organizations.

    2014 Tap 'n' Run at Sandbar Cantina and Grill
    Participants don crazy costumes for the Tap 'n' Run 4K, which features three beer-chug stations along the course and a full beer station at the finish line. Attendees receive a finisher's medal that doubles as a bottle opener, the equivalent of two beers, T-shirt, and entry into the frivolous awards ceremony. Tickets range from $30-$45, and you can sign up online. Event starts at 5 pm.

    Monday, April 21

    Guest Chef Benjamin Sukle at FT33

    Breakfast lunch cafe opens in one of downtown Dallas' nicest buildings

    Sandwich and wrap from Boxed & Brewed

    There's a new grab-and-go café now open in one of the coolest buildings in downtown Dallas. Called Boxed & Brewed, it's located inside the historic U.S. Post Office building at 400 N. Ervay St. #175, where it's serving boxed lunches, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, and premium coffee, for downtown workers and residents.

    According to a release, Boxed & Brewed is a new concept from Boxwood Hospitality Group (Boxwood Catering) that reimagines the classic "boxed lunch" experience with a menu designed by chef Justo Blanco, a Dallas native whose resume includes Scene Restaurant, The Statler, The Joule, and Bolsa Mercado.

    "We created Boxed & Brewed to meet the demands of a fast-paced workday without sacrificing the kind of food people feel good about eating," says Boxwood Hospitality Group co-founder and CEO Lynn Bain in a statement. “It’s a space designed for efficiency, but grounded in hospitality, flavor and quality."

    Chef Blanco, who is Boxwood's director of food & beverage, says their goal is "convenience without compromise," stating "we’ve taken the time to craft dishes that travel well, taste fresh, and still offer the kind of culinary detail you’d expect from a sit-down meal."

    Open Monday-Friday from 7 am-2 pm, Boxed & Brewed offers a refined menu that includes the following:

    • Breakfast tacos
    • Housemade croissants, kougin amann, muffins, and rice krispie treats
    • Coffee, espresso, and matcha drinks
    • Sandwiches such as Mediterranean chicken wrap, curried veggie goat cheese wrap, smoked turkey sandwich (with cheddar, arugula, and chipotle on a ciabatta), served with a side and their signature chocolate chip cookie bar
    • Salad boxes such as Greek, spinach (with beets, goat cheese, and pumpkin seed vinaigrette), and chicken Cobb (with bleu cheese, bacon, egg, grape tomato, and ranch dressing)

    Sides include quinoa and lentils with cucumber; Caesar with parmesan shavings and brioche crouton; and Orzo Puttanesca with tomato, Kalamata olive, and parsley. Prices are $12 to $15.

    The café offers online ordering for individual orders as well as catering for office lunches and events.

    Originally constructed in 1929, the United States Post Office and Courthouse is one of the most significant architectural buildings in Texas and is a registered historic national landmark. It was renovated in 2007 by Todd Interests, then purchased and updated by Wolfe Investments in 2021.

    The cafe location was previously home to a similar daytime cafe called Hospitality Sweet, which closed in 2024 after 10 years in the space.
