    Happy New Year edition

    Where to eat in Dallas right now: 10 hot restaurants for January

    Teresa Gubbins
    Jan 4, 2013 | 5:30 am

    Well, 2012 is over. No regrets. Let's not dwell on the past. But let's also not put undue pressure on ourselves for the future. No speeches about resolutions or abstaining from alcohol or, God forbid, a regular exercise program.

    For now, let's just talk about salads and vegetables and things that are green. Vegetables are one of the big trends for 2013, you know. No time like the present to jump aboard. February will come soon enough.

    Snappy Salads
    Even if you don't love Snappy Salads, and of course you do, it is becoming hard to avoid, what with a third branch in Richardson and another headed for Southlake. This is the gold standard for easy salads of a gourmet bent, with better-quality ingredients – grilled salmon, baby greens and so on – than the usual salad spot.

    Be Raw Food and Juice
    If you were to put all of the good-for-you restaurants in a list, then Be Raw would almost certainly have to be at the top. No meat, no cheese, no animal product at all, just fruits and veggies, assembled in magical ways to make you forget that everything you're eating is a plant. You haven't lived until you've tried the coconut kale enchiladas topped with a "sour cream" made of ground-up cashews.

    Kalachandji's
    Located in the Krishna Temple in East Dallas, Kalachandji's has been a Dallas treasure since it opened in 1971. You don't have to practice Hinduism to appreciate its restful atmosphere or its one-of-a-kind vegetarian buffet. The food is a cross between straight veggie and Indian, with good homey stews and the best cinnamon-swirl bread in town.

    Original Market Diner
    If you want to feel like you're in another city, step inside Original Market Diner. The bustling atmosphere could persuade you that you're in a diner outside Boston. The cuisine is officially home-style but executed with a crisp, urban panache. There are 24 veggie sides, including the new Greek slaw — basically a quinoa salad with diced bell pepper, spinach and feta cheese in an oregano-laced vinaigrette.

    Dixie House
    There were once many Dixie Houses; there is but one left, in the center of Lakewood. Yes, it's a part of the Black-Eyed Pea chain, and, yes, the menu may be identical. But if you're going to get your four-veg plate — mashed potatoes with gravy, soft green beans, glazed carrots and, of course, black-eyed peas — with complimentary rolls and cornbread, this is the place to do it.

    Spiral Diner
    Vegan palace Spiral Diner provides a haven for diners who don't want to consume animal products. There is no haggling with the server; just order anything and you're home-free. Spiral specializes in vegan versions of foods we already know, like Philly cheese "steaks" and "meatball" subs. But don't overlook the salads, such as the chef's salad with greens, carrots, cucumber, avocado, olives, tomato, "cheese," bacun bits and grilled tofu in a dairy-free ranch dressing.

    Dream Cafe
    There was a time – in the '90s, to be exact – when there was only one restaurant in Dallas that came to mind when you said "healthy restaurant," and that was Dream Cafe. Our choices have expanded, but Dream Cafe perseveres with its high-end, slightly sprouty take on comfort food. The quintessential Dream meal is the Global Dinner, with organic black beans and brown rice and your choice of chicken or tofu, with tofu being the obvious choice, duh.

    Sundown at the Granada
    The miracle of Sundown is its ability to do vegetarian (no meat) or vegan (no meat or dairy) versions of anything on the menu. Vegan chili, vegan flatbread pizza, vegan tacos, vegan benedict, no problem. But salad is our theme, so consider the Greenhouse, a chopped medley of every vegetable, legume, fruit and nut in the house, tossed in a dairy-free agave-avocado dressing.

    Texas de Brazil
    You may wonder what a churrascaria like Texas de Brazil, dedicated to skewered meats of all kinds, is doing on a salad-and-veggie list. But like most churrascarias, it has a mega salad bar that you can order solo, no meat. The salad bar boasts 50 to 60 items such as grilled portobello mushrooms, steamed asparagus with strawberry sauce, Brazilian hearts of palm, Greek olives, and jasmine rice. Just be careful: It's all you can eat.

    Fadi's Mediterranean Grill
    Although best known for having a magnificent Mediterranean spread in a surprisingly cosmopolitan atmosphere, the secret at Fadi's is its plethora of veggies. You can specify "vegetarian" when you place your order, and what you get is a wonderfully exotic mix: cilantro zucchini, coriander potatoes, eggplant with pomegranate molasses, and Egyptian okra. It's enough to make you forget you've ordered vegetarian entirely.

    June is here, and cold drinks are the perfect way to cool off. This edition of Where to Drink, CultureMap's monthly column of where to sip, spotlights six venues with various specials — whether that's a new cocktail menu, a new late happy hour, or an unusual happy hour from a favorite BBQ joint.

    Here's where to drink in Dallas this month:

    Big Al's Smokehouse
    Proving that even barbecue restaurants can have happy hours, too, this storied smokehouse near Love Field has added a daily happy hour, featuring two cocktails: spiked sweet tea and margaritas, each 16 ounces, $10 all day, everyday. It's a customer-friendly deal that's available for dine-in or to-go.

    Electric Shuffle
    Happy hour is back at this shuffleboard eatertainment spot in Deep Ellum. Discount cocktails include margarita, espresso martini, and ranch water for $10. Beers, wines, and seltzers are $5. Food specials include $5 fries and $10 pizzas. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3–5 pm.

    Knife Dallas
    Highland Dallas Hotel restaurant has introduced a happy hour with cocktails, beer, and wine specials. Sommelier-selected wines are $9, select beers are $5, and signature cocktails such as the 75 Spritz are $11. On the food side, small plates such as lamb meatballs and yellowtail crudo are $15. Available Sunday through Thursday from 5-7 pm.

    Puttshack
    Addison mini golf venue has a new summer happy hour with drinks and bites discounted to $6. Specials feature 16-ounce draft beers, canned cocktails, and wine options. To top it off, customers get half off their second game of mini golf. Food discounts include chicken quesadillas, Nashville hot bao buns, and loaded tots. Available Monday through Thursday from 3-6 pm.

    SER Steak & Spirits
    Hilton Anatole rooftop restaurant has new culinary-themed cocktails for summer. The In Bloom has Texas bourbon, Amaro Nonino, black walnut bitters, and a shiitake mushroom syrup. The Overstory has Basil Hayden’s bourbon, shiitake syrup, and black walnut bitters; Cabin Fever has Buffalo Trace, clove, lemon, Amaro Nonino, and smoke. Social hour specials include $10 cocktails and $10 five-ounce pours of sommelier-selected wines. This happy hour is Monday to Friday from 5-6:30 pm.

    Victor's
    Oak Cliff restaurant founded by business partners Tameka Davis and Torrey Adams in 2023 has Southern eats, nightly dining specials, and karaoke — and now a new later-than-usual happy hour on weekdays. Drinks specials include $5 shots and $7 wells. Bites include $1 wings, in all flavors. Happy hour is Tuesday through Thursday from 7-9 pm and Friday from 6-8 pm.
