    Savor These Dates

    Savor Dallas releases details for 'dramatically reinvented' 2015 festival

    Savor Dallas, the longtime food-and-wine event that got scooped up this past summer by Dallas Morning News events marketing arm CrowdSource, has released the dates of its “dramatically reinvented” 11th year: March 19-22, 2015.

    According to an adjective-filled release, the four-day festival, which as been “reimagined and enriched” by its new management, promises to “unite winemakers, restaurateurs and top chefs with wine collectors, craft enthusiasts and lovers of exquisite food during a series of upscale events that cater to discerning palates.”

    Savor Dallas starts Thursday, March 19, with the Dallas Arts District Wine Stroll, followed by Savor the Arboretum on March 20, a laid-back sampling experience at sunset. As per usual, winemakers and chefs will lead seminars throughout the weekend.

    The Reserve Tasting takes place March 21 at the Women’s Museum in Fair Park, featuring wines, spirits and craft beers, as well as a silent auction. Later that night is the big-deal Grand Tasting at Fair Park’s Centennial Hall, where attendees can feast on small bites prepared by the city’s top chefs and sample more beer, wine and spirits. Those events had been held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

    “The 2015 festival will offer consumers an elevated social experience encompassing the best flavors of the city, while celebrating fine wine and the art of both craft cocktails and beer — all taking place at some of Dallas’ most notable cultural and culinary destinations,” said CrowdSource president and general manager Alison Draper. “We couldn’t be more excited to execute the bold vision we have for 2015 and beyond.”

    Tickets go on sale Friday, January 9, ranging from à la carte options to all-access packages.

    Hawaiian News

    Ono Hawaiian plate lunch chain will open 10 locations around Dallas

    Ono Hawaiian Aloha Plate with Chicken Katsu & Island Fire Chicken

    A new chain specializing in Hawaiian plate meals is coming in big to the Dallas area: Ono Hawaiian BBQ, a Hawaii-inspired fast-casual chain known for its island-style plate lunches, has 10 new restaurants under construction across the Dallas–Fort Worth.

    This expansion represents an important next step for the brand as it continues to grow its footprint from the West coast and across the U.S.

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a family-owned chain, founded in 2002 in West L.A. by brothers Joe and Josh Liang, who shared a passion for Hawaiian culture and cuisine. There are now more than 115 restaurants across California and Arizona.

    Like other similar Hawaiian chains, they specialize in the plate lunch, which is generally a combination of starch + animal: some form of meat plus two scoops of white rice plus a scoop of mac & cheese, served in not particularly eco-friendly packaging. Ono seems to also add a broccoli floret or two.

    The meats on Ono's menu include BBQ chicken, Kalua pork, kalbi short ribs, fried chicken katsu, and Spam musubi, consisting of a block of rice topped with a slice of Spam and wrapped in seaweed.

    Plate lunch prices range from $13 to $18.

    “At Ono Hawaiian BBQ, we’re passionate about sharing the spirit of Aloha with every plate we serve,” CEO Joshua Liang says in a statement. “Texas offers the perfect opportunity to introduce our fresh, made-to-order Hawaiian comfort food to a community that embraces bold flavors and the joy of gathering around great food.”

    The Texas locations represent the brand’s first significant move outside the West Coast, paving the way for further expansion. One amazing thing is the fact that they've signed so many leases at the same time. Chains often broadcast that they have plans to open multiple locations but it's rare to see it come to fruition as it has with Ono.

    The locations are as follows:

    • Burleson, TBD – SWC Summerset & SW Wilshire
    • Carrollton, 3328 E. Hebron Pkwy. #101, in a former Schlotzky's
    • Dallas, 6216 Retail Rd., in a former Del Taco at Skillman and Northwest Highway
    • Haltom City, 6360 N. Beach St., in a former Schlotzky's
    • Hurst, 1840 Precinct Line Rd., in a former Taco Cabana
    • McKinney, 4610 W. University Dr. #110, in a new complex
    • Plano, 8724 Preston Rd. , in a former Chick-fil-A
    • Rowlett, 4510 Lakeview Pkwy., in a former Dairy Queen
    • Royse City, 506 W. Interstate 30, in a former Dairy Queen
    • Wylie, 2020 N. State Hwy 78, in a former Hwy 55 Burgers & Shakes

    Each restaurant will feature Ono’s fast-casual format with dine-in, takeout, and drive-thru options. They're expected to open in early- to mid-2026.
