    Football is here (and fall isn't far behind). If you're just here for the snacks, then Whole Foods Market is ready to make all your chip, dip, food, and drink fantasies come true.

    From full-on catering to grab-and-go goodies, here are some winning game day grub ideas:

    Catering
    Serve as few as four people or an entire team for everyday entertaining and special occasions with catering that's freshly prepared in stores. Whole Foods Market requires each item they prepare to meet their quality standards, which ban more than 230 colors, flavors, preservatives, and other ingredients, and ensures meat used must be from animals raised with no antibiotics ever.

    Level up your next game day spread with these winning appetizers, party platters, snacks, drinks, and treats.

    Appetizers: Everything you need for a classic tailgate setup that’s ready to heat and serve. Choose from quesadilla platters (with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo), three flavors of chicken wings (with carrots, celery, and blue cheese dip), cocktail meatballs (with marinara or barbecue sauce), chicken tenders with honey mustard, and more.

    Party Pinwheel Platter: A crowd favorite and mess-free option that includes roast beef and cheddar, pesto chicken, and grilled vegetable pinwheels.

    Snacks: Give everyone something to nibble on with a cubed meat and cheese platter, smoked fish dip platter, spinach artichoke puffs, Chick’n taquitos, and vegetable crudités with hummus (the last three are vegetarian-friendly).

    Sweets: Finish each game on a high note with vegan brownies and chocolate chip cookies or a fresh fruit platter.

    Shop the catering lineup and pre-order for easy in-store pickup here.

    365 by Whole Foods Market
    Whole Foods Market offers their 365 brand to make shopping for affordable and high-quality products easy for customers, with more than 3,500 products that must meet their quality standards. Find everything you need to be the MVP:

    Beverages: Shop a selection of canned drinks for the ice chest including 365 brand cola and sparkling waters, with flavors like black cherry, ginger, grapefruit, and lime. Bottled beverages make a great base for cocktails and mocktails. Try Whole Foods Market’s line of organic Italian sodas with fun flavors like orange hibiscus and wild berry.

    Snacks: Be as unexpected as that new player on the field with 365 brand garbanzo and lentil chips or new ancient grains and flaxseed pita crackers, both great options to pair with your favorite dips.

    Bring on the flavor with 365 brand Texas BBQ kettle cooked potato chips, spicy cheese curls, and organic chili cheese corn chips.

    Add some color to your spread with 365 brand organic blue corn tortilla chips, paired with made-in-house guacamole, pico de gallo, and salsas.

    And 365 brand animal cookies — frosted, honey cinnamon, chocolate chip, or vanilla — ensure a sweet final score.

    Revered family-owned Mediterranean restaurant debuts in North Dallas

    An upscale Mediterranean restaurant is coming to North Dallas from a trusted name: Called Zon Zon, it'll open at 5455 Belt Line Rd. #130, in the Work/Shop center, and it's hospitality group Yela Concepts led by Yaser Khalaf (Darna, Baboush), together with his son Mak Khalef in their first collaboration.

    According to a release, it'll open on December 22.

    Named for Mak's sister Zaina (“Zon Zon”), the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner with a refined take on Mediterranean dining, rooted in tradition but with modern influences.

    "We tried to merge what embodies Mediterranean cuisine with dishes that people in Dallas love," Mak says. "A lot of the dishes we have on menu are Mediterranean but have American and Texan influences."

    Mezze favorites include hummus topped with green shatta and extra-virgin olive oil; baba ghanoush with charred eggplant, tahini, dukka, and pomegranate; crispy cauliflower with saffron labneh; tuna neya with tahini, mixed pickles, and Aleppo pepper; and kibbeh with ground lamb, onions, pine nuts, and dill labneh.

    Salads include seared tuna salad with freekeh and golden beets; Tahini Caesar with tahini–Caesar dressing and za’atar croutons; and roasted beets with burrata, oranges, and pistachios.

    Entrées include roasted chicken with garlic-batata and pomegranate jus; chicken shish kebab over saffron rice with almonds and raisins; hanger steak shawarma frites — a clever twist on steak frites with hand-cut fries; ZZ’s Wagyu cheeseburger with smoked provolone and house pickles; Prime ribeye with za’atar chimichurri and heirloom carrots; and apricot lamb couscous.

    The beverage program complements the menu with a Mediterranean-focused wine list and creative cocktails such as the coffee-kissed Midnight Istanbul and ZZ’s Margarita, with burnt pineapple and ras el hanout.

    Designed in collaboration with Dallas-based Coeval Studios, the restaurant features a 2,130-square-foot interior with an expansive 735-square-foot patio that seats 76, for a total occupancy near 100.

    The restaurant boasts an open kitchen, while decorative finishes include modern woodwork, rich textures, and Middle Eastern-inspired details — stylish yet inviting, with a setting that feels like home.

    “The inspiration behind Zon Zon came from wanting to create the kind of place we’ve always wished existed — a neighborhood Mediterranean spot that feels both familiar and exciting - we wanted to create a comfortable space where guests can meet up with friends or neighbors on a regular basis,” says Yaser in a statement.

    Mak went to college to sudy biomedical engineering, but says he couldn't resist the lure of the restaurant world in which he grew up.

    "Zon Zon is a reflection of everything we love about food," Mak says. "What makes this especially meaningful is building it with my dad — bringing our family’s story and passion to the table."
