    This Week in Gluttony

    Blues & BBQ Festival tops best food and drink events in Dallas

    Jonathan Rienstra
    Aug 27, 2013 | 6:00 am

    Craft beer once again dominates this week's top food and drink events, with two beer dinners (one is vegan!) and a homebrewers competition at Deep Ellum Brewing.

    You cannot escape craft beer; just begin growing out your beard now and grabbing T-shirts from breweries across the country. But if beer paired with quality music is your jam, Bedford is hosting its annual Blues & BBQ Fest.

    Wednesday, August 28

    The Oceanic Dinners at Nonna
    Nonna introduces a three-day Oceanic Dinner Menu designed to create dialogue and understanding of where seafood comes from. From August 28 to 30, the menu is inspired by meals that chef Julian Barsotti has eaten from the Abruzzo Coast, Venice, Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Dishes include salt-baked eel with Colli Estruschi extra virgin olive oil and lemon, as well as black sea bass and littleneck clam chowder.

    Dogfish Head Ancient Ales Dinner at the Libertine
    The Libertine teams up with Dogfish Head for an Ancient Ales beer dinner. Based on ancient beer recipes from around the world, the Ancient Ales series includes some popular Dogfish brews, including the Midas Touch and Etrusca. The five-course meal includes smoked trout and sweet cucumber salad with parsley yogurt dressing paired with Sah’tea, and a vegetable-stuffed pork tenderloin with glazed pig ears and sweet potato smash paired with Chateau Jiahu. Tickets are $60 per person and can be made at 214-824-7900. Dinner begins at 7 pm.

    Friday, August 30

    Four Corners Vegan Beer Dinner at Whole Foods Park Lane
    Whole Foods Park Lane hosts a local vegan beer dinner with Four Corners Brewery beginning at 6:30 pm. The Latin American menu includes fruteria-style jicama and watermelon salad paired with Red’s Roja, and Salvadorian-style rice with vegetable chick peas paired with La Bajada. Tickets are $30 and can be ordered online.

    Bedford Blues & BBQ Festival
    The city of Bedford hosts its annual labor day Blues & BBQ Festival August 30 through September 1. Enjoy blues music from such legends as Jimmie Vaughan and Buddy Guy while 90 teams compete in a barbecue cookoff. There’s even a Journey tribute band. General admission tickets are $5 with increased pricing for party tent seats and reserved seating for the concerts.

    Sunday, September 1

    Labor of Love II at Deep Ellum Brewing Company
    Deep Ellum Brewing Company hosts the second annual Labor of Love, a homebrew competition for North Texas beer nerds to test their small batch beers against one another. More than 40 local homebrewers show off theirs beer to the public. You can vote on your favorite while munching on food truck fare from Easy Slider Truck and Pompeii DFW and listening to live music from Grant Jones & The Pistol Grip Lassos and the O’s. The first 100 tickets are $10; after that they jump to $15. The event runs from 5 to 10 pm.

    Bedford Blues & BBQ Festival runs August 30-September 1.

    Chuy's from Knox Dallas now open at new Greenville Avenue space

    A Knox Street institution has been uprooted to a new neighborhood: Chuy's, the Tex-Mex restaurant that had been open at 4544 McKinney Ave., for nearly 32 years, has moved to 1520 Greenville Ave., on the lowest part of Lower Greenville, where it opened on April 28.

    The relocation is due to the fact that the property will be razed, part of a mixed-use development on Knox Street that's expected to open in 2026 and include a hotel, luxury condos, office space, and retail and dining space. Rumors about the likely closure of that Chuy's location had circulated for nearly a year.

    A spokesperson said "It’s been an honor to be part of the Dallas community for more than 30 years and serve guests at our restaurant in the Knox-Henderson district. We’re excited to have moved to a new, bigger restaurant just two miles away and to keep offering our guests everything they love about Chuy’s."

    Founded in Austin by Mike Young and John Zapp in 1982, Chuy’s became known for its Tex-Mex cuisine and eclectic decor, featuring tree sculptures, Elvis art, dog photos, and more. Signature dishes include Big As Yo Face Burritos, Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom Enchiladas, and the Elvis Presley Memorial combo.

    The McKinney Avenue location was also known for its Hatch chile program that included not only featuring Hatch chiles in various seasonal specials, but also positioning a chile roaster outside the restaurant right on McKinney Avenue — very much Old Knox as opposed to the glossy high-rise direction in which Knox is currently headed.

    In July 2024, Chuy's was acquired by Darden Restaurants, the hospitality company that owns other big-name chains, such as Olive Garden and The Capital Grille.

    The new location looks great on paper, with parking nearby and a large patio. However, the space has suffered a bit of a pall in recent years, cycling through concepts such as Austin-based gastropub Haymaker, which opened there in 2016 after redoing the space at great expense, then closing after barely a year; followed by Desert Racer, the short-lived patio spot from chef Nick Badovinus which closed in March 2024.

    But Chuy’s is upbeat, outfitting the new location wiith its iconic eclectic theming, including the Chihuahua Bar, towering metal palm trees, ceilings filled with hand-carved wooden fish, and the Elvis fountain – which has just been refurbished.

    There are also several enhancements:

    • More seating
    • A pergola-covered patio that doubles their previous amount of patio seating
    • A covered outdoor waiting area with benches, with cocktail servers to fetch margaritas while diners wait
    • A parking lot with 84 spaces — more than double their previous 32 spots

    The new location is operated by the same team, including General Manager Jack Miller, and they've also expanded total staff to accommodate the space.

    "We relocated to Greenville Avenue because it was a great area with long-term growth potential and wasn’t too far from where we served our guests for more than 30 years," their spokesperson says.
