This dozen barely scratches the surface, but you have to start somewhere. Here are 12 restaurants, newly opened in June.

As if red ants and killer bees aren't bad enough, there's another invasive species in Texas that has slithered into Dallas-Fort Worth: an extra-long worm — it can be nearly a foot long — disgusting on its own, but also predatory. It's called a hammerhead flatworm, and The Texas Invasive Species Institute confirms that they're starting to be spotted in the Dallas area.
