    This Week's Hot Headlines

    Dallas restaurant buzz and celebrity love notes top 5 most popular stories this week

     Editor's note: Another week has come and gone, and there's a lot we all probably missed. But we're looking out for you, kid. Here are the most popular stories from this past week:

     

    1. World’s No. 2 restaurant owners dine at East Dallas favorite. You're behind the No. 2 restaurant in the world, and you have the opportunity to eat one meal in Dallas. Where do you go? The answer is Vietnamese restaurant Mot Hai Ba, which became the lunchtime destination of the three brothers behind El Celler de Can Roca, in Girona, Spain.

     

    2. Four Dallas restaurants rank among best in South — and not the ones you expect. Southern Living recently declared its picks for the 100 best restaurants in the South, and CBD Provisions, Casa Rubia, San Salvaje and Fearing's all made the cut. Based on that, you can probably tell this list comprises the new as well as the tried-and-true.

     

    3. Ex-employee takes protest to the streets outside Old Warsaw restaurant. Dallas isn't ordinarily a striking kind of town, but that's not stopping Michelle Charkowicz, a restaurant worker who's conducting a one-woman campaign for a better work environment. According to Charkowicz, she worked for owner Al Heidari from July 15 to August 4 and was never paid. He disputes her claim.

     

    4. Cafe Momentum restaurant finds permanent home in downtown Dallas. Previously a roving pop-up, this charitable restaurant concept, which serves as a culinary training facility for disadvantaged youth, will build a permanent brick-and-mortar restaurant at 1510 Pacific Ave., in Thanks-Giving Square. Cafe Momentum will be on the ground floor of a seven-story downtown parking garage.

     

    5. Bachelor bride Catherine Lowe turns passion for love notes into heartfelt business. She won the heart of Dallas heartthrob Sean Lowe on ABC’s The Bachelor with the help of her clever little love notes. Now Mrs. Catherine Lowe has turned her affinity into a business called C. Lowe by Scarlet & Gold, a collection of cards and accessories adorned with cute phrases penned by the Bachelor bride herself.

    CBD Provisions is one of the best restaurants in the South according to Southern Living magazine.

    Dallas star comedian Ralph Barbosa scores new special on Hulu

    Dallas comedian Ralph Barbosa, whose laid-back yet hilarious style has won him multiple awards and national TV appearances, has a new stand-up special on Hulu. Called Ralph Barbosa: Planet Bosa, it'll come out on August 8.

    According to Barbosa, filming took place at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego, California.

    “My next comedy special will be with Hulu and Disney Plus — I guess I'm part of the Marvel cinematic universe now,” Barbosa said in his trademark droll manner.

    The special features Barbosa’s takes on dating, his temper, working on cars, and current events.

    This is his second comedy special following his Netflix debut, Cowabunga, which came out in 2023.

    Barbosa, who describes himself as “the shyest attention hog,” was the 2019 winner of the Funniest Comic in Texas competition, and the 2021 winner of the New York Latino Film Festival Stand-Up; In 2024, he was nominated as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for.

    He graduated from Mesquite High School and lived in Oak Cliff, working at a barbershop before his meteoric rise in comedy.

    Planet Bosa is the tenth comedy special to roll out as part of Hulu’s Hularious lineup, which features other comics like Jim Gaffigan, Ilana Glazer, and Bill Burr. A new hour-long stand-up special is featured every month.

    According to Hulu VP of Comedy Emily Furutani, the streaming platform wants to put more attention on stand-up and appeal to a wide audience.

    “Comics work so hard on finessing their hour and we wanted to be known as the place that gives them the flowers they deserve,” Furutani says in a release. “When scouting for a Hulu comic, we look for three things: commerciality in their material, high quality material and the potential for the comedian to become part of the fabric of The Walt Disney Company.”

    Barbosa’s most recent tour was The Butterfly Effect Tour with fellow comedian Rene Vaca. It was held in honor of Ken Flores, another featured comedian, who died of cardiac arrest in January before the tour started.
