    This Week in Gluttony

    Savor this list of the best food and drink events in Dallas this week

    Variety best describes this week’s roundup of food events — from soup to meatballs. Oh, and you can taste wines after a yoga class. Told you it was varied.

    Wednesday, March 9

    Dollar Meatballs at Kenny’s Italian Diner
    March 9 is National Meatball Day (every day is National Something Day, isn’t it?), so Kenny’s is offering its famous meatballs for $1 each, from 3-10 pm. Just so you know, the restaurant has long held a contest recognizing diners who can eat the most of the quarter-pound meatballs, on Sundays, when they are also priced at a buck each. The person who eats the most meatballs in one sitting gets them for free. The current record is 22.

    Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival Collaborative Wine Dinner at Central Market
    Chefs Molly McCook of Ellerbe Fine Foods and Ben Merritt of Fixture team up to prepare a meal that shows off their skills. During dinner, pick up tips from these pros while Central Market experts pair the food with appropriate wines. Courses include spring spinach crepes, poached Gulf shrimp enchiladas, and crispy pecan-crusted Texas quail. Tickets start at $58.50, and the event begins at 6:30 pm.

    Thursday, March 10

    Savor Dallas at Dallas Arboretum
    Celebrate the advent of spring with a stroll through Dallas Arboretum, wine in hand, courtesy of Savor Dallas. In addition to wine, guests can also savor (see what we did there?) food and spirits. Tickets start at $63, and the event kicks off at 6:30 pm. Proceeds benefit the educational department at Dallas Arboretum.

    Friday, March 11

    Texas Wine Talk & Tasting at Whole Foods Market Park Lane
    If Texas and wine hold equal parts of your heart, you'll love this intimate tasting event. Experience a blind tasting of four Texas Wine Journal top-rated wines up against four world wines. This time around, you'll get to taste dry rosé and white blends. Plus, get insider intel from local wine experts that will leave you feeling like a Texas wine boss. The tasting starts at 6:30 pm and tickets are $25.

    17th annual Empty Bowls at Meyerson Symphony Center
    It’s not every day you can support the North Texas Food Bank while you eat lunch. At this popular fundraiser, sample soup and other bowl-friendly fare from 20 of North Texas’ finest restaurants. Attendees also get to select a handcrafted bowl from a Texas artist as a memento of the day. Tickets start at $40, and lunch starts at 11 am.

    Tour de Fromage Round One at Scardello Cheese
    Scardello has brought back cheese wars. The night includes a blind tasting of cheeses from two competing areas, plus libations. The winner from this evening moves on to the finals. Tickets are $45, and the competition starts at 8 pm. If the event sells out, call 214-219-1300 to get on the waitlist.

    Saturday, March 12

    Market Dinner at Patina Green
    This chef’s tasting features five courses composed of locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen can even accommodate any picky eaters — er, dietary restrictions. Tickets are $55, plus $25 for beer or wine. Dinner is served at either 6 or 8 pm.

    Yoga and Wine Tasting at Messina Hof Winery
    Yoga plus wine? These are people after our own hearts. Yoga class lasts from 11 am to noon; a tasting of three wine follows. Participants of all levels are welcome, and they need to bring a towel or mat and a water bottle. (Must hydrate.) Tickets are $20, and the first 20 people to register receive a goody bag.

    Empty Bowls 2016 is taking over the Meyerson Symphony Center on March 11.

    Kebab concept Doner Shack comes to Texas with location in Prosper

    A new doner kebab chain is coming to town: Called Doner Shack, it's a quick-service restaurant concept based in the U.K. which is opening its first location in Texas in Prosper. The restaurant has yet to be built, so the opening date is still TBA. But according to a release, it will open in a shopping center at the intersection of Teel Parkway and University Drive, on the northwest corner, kitty corner from the PGA Golf Resort.

    Doner Shack says it was built with one goal: to become the world’s leading kebab brand. No mention of the food, but what they're really pushing is franchising. Founders are chef Sanjeev Sanghera and Laura Bruce, who own three stores in the U.K., and who were inspired after an "epic 48-hour trip to Berlin" where the culture and kebabs blew their minds "in the best way possible." Hopefully that means the food is good.

    Doner kebab is the dish of Turkish origin made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It's popular in Germany because there's a large Turkish population there. Competitors — many of whom have expanded to DFW — include Halal Guys, Nick the Greek, The Great Greek, Spitz Mediterranean Grill, Soulard Gyro, and German Doner Kebab.

    Doner Shack's menu features the original doner kebab with beef on Turkish bread and salad, and then varieties such as chicken, or beef with chili sauce, or a vegetarian with fried halloumi cheese.

    In addition to doner kebabs, there are also chicken tenders served with crinkle cut fries; slider-size sandwiches with fried chicken or with shaved beef; and loaded fries, topped with the same assortment of meats.

    Bringing it to Texas is franchisee group Gyro N Philly LLC, led by Hassan Zaman who says in a statement that they're delighted to bring Doner Shack to Prosper.

    "With the new PGA headquarters across the street, a high school with over 30,000 students, and the upcoming Universal Kids Theme Park just minutes away, we believe this is a home run location," he says. For good food, one hopes.
