    Dallas bagel shop gets with Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives

    Award-winning Dallas bagel restaurant Starship Bagel is about to soak up some rays of Guy Fieri sunshine. The Lewisville-based bagel chain will appear on Food Network in early June in an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, the series hosted by Guy Fieri.

    The episode featuring Starship will debut on June 6. It's called “All Kinds of Cookin'" and the description is as follows, with the relevant information about Starship Bagel in bold:

    "This trip, Guy Fieri's diggin' cheffed-up eats made all kinds of ways! First up, a DDD alum and his wife launched a modern culinary spot in Decatur, Ga., sourcing local ingredients for a craveable coffee-dusted venison, the-bomb bordelaise-drizzled bone marrow and savory sautéed snails. In Lewisville, Texas, a bagel joint is bringing sci-fi vibes and legit New York style to the Lone Star State, toppin' their dynamite dough with basil and fermented jalapeño schmears. Plus, there's authentic Indian in Baton Rouge, La., platin' lights-out lamb kebabs, top-notch chutney and mouthwatering Malabar shrimp.."

    Food Network does not disclose the names of the restaurants that appear on its shows in advance. Restaurants are not allowed to reveal their participation without approval from Food Network. A representative from Starship Bagel did not respond to a request for comment.

    However, Starship Bagel has already been established as one of seven DFW restaurants that Fieri and his DD&D crew visited in December 2024, when they taped segments for future episodes such as this.

    Staship has earned many accolades including back-to-back awards at BagelFest, a national competition in New York, first winning for Best Bagel in 2023, and then best schmear in 2024. Their winning schmear was none other than basil.

    They're also #1 famously from Lewisville, and #2 with their outer space starship theme have the "sci-fi vibes" that the DDD writeup references. The network or the restaurant may not officially confirm, but who needs them?

    Starship Bagel has enoyed a meteoric rise since founder Oren Salomon, a young entrepreneur with a passion for making great bagels, opened his first location in Lewisville at 1108 W. Main St. in 2021. He went on to open a second location in downtown Dallas in 2023, and a third location in North Dallas in 2024. The menu includes trademark items such as the Millennial Falcon with tomato, avocado, sprouts, pickled red onion, and crushed red pepper; and the SuperNova Lox & Bagel featuring Acme Nova Lox, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and capers.

    Starship was also among the 10 restaurants in Dallas that participated in a national promotion celebrating Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants in 2024, with select restaurants called on to create their own version of the cartoon's signature Krabby Patty sandwich.

    Starship Bagel is now the sixth Dallas-area restaurant with a DDD episode locked in: East Dallas Asian restaurant Hello Dumpling was featured in a show that aired on February 21. Fine-dining restaurant Rye was featured in a show that aired on March 7. Slow Bone, the BBQ restaurant from chef Jeffery Hobbs, appeared on an episode on April 11. El Palote, the pioneering Mexican vegan restaurant, will appear in a segment debuting on May 2. Smoke 'N Ash, the mom-and-pop barbecue restaurant in Arlington, will appear in an episode debuting on May 23.

    There's only one Dallas restaurant left: Angry Dog.

    “Triple-D” has been airing on The Food Network since 2006 and has spotlighted at least 1,000 kitchens in all 50 states.

    “All Kinds of Cookin'” premieres on Friday, June 6 at 8 pm.

    Hits for a Good Cause

    CultureMap writer and Cowboys crush it for charity in home run derby

    CultureMap's Alex Bentley competed in the Media League part of the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby.

    There was some friendly rivalry on and off the field at the 13th annual Reliant Home Run Derby at Riders Field in Frisco on May 14, where members of the Dallas Cowboys and a dozen local media members stepped up to the plate to raise money for North Texas charities.

    Before Cowboys fans showed up for the main event, the day kicked off with the 10th annual Reliant Media League, featuring 12 reporters from around Dallas-Fort Worth - including CultureMap's Alex Bentley - taking their hacks for a charity of their choice.

    On what was said to be one of the hottest days in the event's history, each media participant got 10 swings in the first of three rounds, earning $100 for every hit and $300 for every home run.

    Bentley, a first-time competitor, advanced to the second round with four others, and with a strong second-round performance - including a home run on his final swing - made the three-swing final round against WFAA reporter Sean Giggy.

    With Kristi Scales, sideline reporter for the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network, calling the action, Giggy narrowly edged Bentley by hitting two home runs compared to Bentley's two hits and one home run.

    Collectively, the media members raised $36,220 for local North Texas charities, including $4,335 by Giggy for his charity, Keeper of the Game, and $4,135 by Bentley for his charity, The Street Dog Project.

    The Street Dog Project is comprised of a small group of volunteers who, since 2016, have rescued hundreds of dogs from the streets and found them loving homes.

    Reached for comment, Bentley said: "For a 50-year-old man who hadn't touched a baseball bat in 16 years to even compete was amazing, but to be one of the finalists was beyond all my expectations. I'm very happy with my performance, but even happier that I was able to raise a lot of money for a good cause."

    Ten Cowboys players then took the field in front of hundreds of fans, trading in their pads for a bat for a chance at baseball glory.

    Participants included Bryan Anger, Brandon Aubrey, Jake Ferguson, DeMarvion Overshown, Dak Prescott, Luke Schoonmaker, Trent Sieg, Tyler Smith, Terence Steele, and Sam Williams.

    With each hit and home run earning a donation from Reliant, the teammates raised a total of $80,000 to benefit The Salvation Army of North Texas.

    Ferguson, the Cowboys tight end, was named the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby Champion with $20,600 raised and 22 home runs.

    As the winner, Ferguson also received a $10,000 bonus from Reliant for his chosen charity, the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.
