    Professional football player scores heroic bar in Uptown Dallas Loon space

    A professional football player has opened a charming, family-run bar in Uptown Dallas. Called Harris' House of Heroes, it's a new spot from De'Vante Harris, who played college football at Texas A&M and was signed by the New Orleans Saints.

     

    The bar opened on January 1 in a location with its own special history: at 3403 McKinney Ave., in the space that was previously The Loon.

     

    Harris' House of Heroes, or "HHH" for short, is a casual, comfortable bar where you can get food and drinks and watch some football, but can also scale up with a DJ and bottle service.

     

    In the running of the bar, Harris is being assisted by his brother Eric Reed, who is chief of operations, and his mother, who is chief financial officer.

     

    "It's a family business," Reed says. "My brother always wanted to have a bar where he could give back to the neighborhood heroes — not super-heroes, but the people he looked up to."

     

    They also wanted to share some of their passions, including a menu of comfort food dishes, and fun diversions like dominoes and the card game spades.

     

    "This is how we grew up, what we grew up eating, what we grew up doing," Reed says. "Any time there's a reunion or a family gathering, we play spades. It's like a tradition."

     

    He describes their menu as comfort food with an upscale twist. Their chef is Darius Lewis, and their recipes are culled from family favorites.

     

    There are turkey legs, loaded baked potatoes, shrimp & grits, and wings, both breaded and "naked." Their lemon pepper wings have already been called the best in Dallas, and they have another wing treatment that Reed says you can't find anywhere else.

     

    "It's our own flavor, honey ranch, and people have been going crazy about it," he says.

     

    They're open every day from 3 pm-2 am, and this being Uptown, there is brunch on weekends from 11 am-3 pm, when they have chicken & waffles and greens — "greens on Sunday, that's real traditional for us," he says.

     

    Reed is a former athlete himself who played basketball. In fact, their entire family is allstar — his sister runs track at Texas Tech and his father also played at Texas A&M, as well as for the Saints, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

     

    But for now, Reed and Harris have set their sights on the exciting world of food and beverage with their cool new hang.

     

    "We wanted to find a way to tie into the neighborhood, and bring our roots to Uptown," he says.

    Healthy smoothie chain from the Northeast makes Dallas-area debut

    A smoothie chain from the Northeast has landed in Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Fresh Monkee, it's a chain from Connecticut that made its DFW debut in Richardson at 3501 Custer Pkwy. #119, in the Custer Creek shopping center, where it opened July 1.

    Fresh Monkee was founded by entrepreneur Judy Flynn in Wethersfield, Connecticut in 2014. It has since expanded to 20 locations across 15 states. Four locations are planned for Texas, including Austin and Houston. The Richardson location is from franchisees Anam and Omer Nawab.

    In a release, Flynn notes that many smoothie places rely on sugary fruit blends and "strange" powders.

    "Most juice bars strip away the fiber from fruits and veggies, which is essential for a healthy gut and feeling satisfied," Flynn says in a press release. "I was convinced we could do better."

    Their menu includes 30 varieties: fruit smoothies, green smoothies, chocolate smoothies, and coffee smoothies, with seasonal flavors such as the summer-ready watermelon strawberry limeade shake.

    Notable options include:

       
    • Chunkee Monkee — milk, chocolate or vanilla protein powder, banana, and peanut butter
    • Filthy Monkee — milk, chocolate protein powder, brownie protein bar, and peanut butter
    • Coffee Buzz — milk, a splash of cream, chocolate protein powder, coffee cubes, vanilla extract, and Stevia
    • Orange Cream — milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, and a whole orange
    • Maui Colada — coconut milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, unsweetened coconut shreds, pineapple, and mango
    They also carry a protein ball snack with peanut butter, oat flour, chocolate whey protein, and maple syrup, rolled in coconut oil and chocolate chips.

    Each location has indoor seating, including couches and tables, but they're mainly a to-go concept.

    Another pair of franchisees, Clarence Gadapati and Karuna Annavajjala, are opening a location in Arlington, at 5904 S. Cooper St. #120, in the Sublett Corners center, where it will open in August.
