    Fresh Gifts

    The essential local shop for holiday gifts? Dallas Farmers Market.

    The phrase "one-stop shopping" really is apropos when it comes to the Dallas Farmers Market, especially around the holidays. If your "nice list" runs the gamut from family to friends to business colleagues and beyond, you can find exactly the right gift for everyone, all in one place. Here are a few no-fail gift ideas to keep in mind this season.

    Because the Dallas Farmers Market is known first and foremost for its delectable food items, expect to discover tasty gifts for every palate — and hope that your recipients share.

    Everett and Elaine makes mini pecan tarts with 100 percent butter crusts and Texas pecans, at $12 for a set of three. They also make cookies at $9 a bag, and both can be found inside The Shed and at Market Provisions inside The Market.

    Chelleshandcrafted French macarons, found in The Market, are like a rainbow in a box. They start at six macs for $11, and larger orders can also be assembled into a tree-like tower. Mozna Chocolate makes bean-to-bar chocolates in gorgeous packaging that run $8 a bar, and that can be found in The Shed on weekends.

    Looking to give something a little more savory? Scardello starts with a beautiful wooden box and fills it with a variety of artisan cheeses and crackers; pricing depends on which cheeses you choose. (Find them in The Market.) In The Shed, T-Rex Pickles uses local produce and craft beer to make jars of uniquely Texan pickles, which come in two-jar ($20), four-jar ($40), and six-jar (four large and two medium for $75) gift baskets.

    For home cooks and foodies, Texas Hill Country Olive Company has gift boxes that look like pieces of art. Locally made wood boxes are filled with award-winning extra virgin olive oil, premium crushed olive oils, and balsamic vinegars. To help your friends spice things up all year long, Taqueria La Ventana's salsa roja and salsa verde come in colorful bottles that are ideally sized for stockings.

    But the Dallas Farmers Market isn't just about yummy goodies. You'll also find handmade and one-of-a-kind gifts that reflect Dallas and its heritage. At Dallas Antique Company inside The Market, scoop up a few large cowhide zip pouches ($26 each) or some copper Texas ornaments ($12.50), both locally made.

    At Lone Chimney Mercantile, art prints and artistic knickknacks abound, but you can't go wrong with the succulents, planted in rustic metal containers and studded with geodes and crystals (prices vary, find inside The Market).

    And it's hard to get more "Dallas" than Bullzerk, the local company that churns out cheeky T-shirts, coasters, postcards, and other items with Texas-centric commentary. The music-lover in your life would be hard pressed not to love a "Willie, Waylon, George — and Beyonce" T-shirt that pays homage to some of the Lone Star State's legends for only $23 inside The Market.

    This is just a small sampling of the gifts that await at the Dallas Farmers Market. Pop in to see for yourself, and check one more thing off your holiday to-do list.

    Texas Hill Country Olive Company's olive oils are award-winning.

    Fun conveyor-belt sushi restaurant debuts at McKinney mixed-use

    A Japanese-inspired restaurant that brings you sushi on a conveyor belt is now open in McKinney: Called Kura Revolving Sushi, it’s located at 8585 W. University Dr. #150 in the West Grove mixed-use development, where it debuts on April 25, with an opening party taking place all weekend from April 25-27.

    "We are thrilled to open our sixth DFW location in McKinney, which is one of the fastest growing cities in the country with a population that's increasingly diverse and open to new culinary experiences," says Chief Development Officer Robert Kluger in a statement. "We believe the West Grove shopping center is the perfect place to share our authentic Japanese dining experience with this growing community."

    Kura Sushi USA was established in 2008 and has grown to be the largest revolving sushi chain: Small plates of sushi and sides are placed on a conveyor belt that snakes around the restaurant, allowing customers to grab items as they pass by.

    They have more than 100 menu items, including sushi, ramen, and popular Asian starters like edamame and wontons. Each item is charged separately starting at $3.45 a plate.

    There are two conveyors as follows:

    • Revolving Sushi Bar. The primary belt that snakes through the dining area, with plates of sushi that are protected by the chain's Mr. Fresh ventilated sushi lid. They say it limits airborne exposure and has plate-tracking technology that monitors how long the item has been circulating, ensuring food remains fresh.
    • Express Belt. Referred to as the "sushi highway," the express belt is positioned above the primary belt and is used to deliver special orders.

    Bikkura Pon Prizes
    An integral part of Kura Sushi USA’s tech interactive dining experience, Bikkura Pon is a machine that dispenses prizes after customers dispose of their plates properly. A touch panel registers the number of sushi plates dispensed into the plate disposal slot. After five plates, a short animation plays; after every fifteen plates, a prize such as a keychain or phone mount pops out.

    Kura has more than 550 locations in Japan, U.S., and Taiwan. There are 70 locations in 20 states and Washington D.C. McKinney is the sixth location to open in DFW; other locations include Carrollton, Euless, Plano, Frisco, and Fort Worth.
