Summer is often the time for restaurant closures in Dallas, and it's not like there aren't a few of those going down. But in upbeat news, there are openings, too. Not to mention summer menus, new brunches, and fancy milkshakes.

Here's what's happening in Dallas dining news this week:

FrostBite Creamery is a new dessert shop open at 3607 Greenville Ave. doing the increasingly common rolled ice cream. It's located across from the Granada Theater in what used to be a daiquiri-to-go spot but in a space better known as the one-time Cafe Izmir to-go mart.

Wheelhouse, the Design District gastropub, has new action happening at brunch including all-vinyl DJs, which one presumes means they are spinning vinyl rather than made of vinyl. New cocktails include the Texas Sunrise, and new dishes include a vegan breakfast bowl, fried green tomato benedict, an "all-American" breakfast, and shrimp and grits. That all sounds good, especially the fried green tomato benedict. On Sundays, you can just dispense with brunch and get a burger and a draft beer for $10. Brunch is served 10 am-2 pm; the vinyl thing begins at 11 am.

It'Sugar, the specialty candy retailer whose empire of more than 100 retail locations in 26 states includes one at Dallas' Victory Park, has launched a limited-edition Giant All-Pink Starburst Box of the strawberry flavor, no variety, all strawberry.

The quote from founder Jeff Rubin is funny: "It'Sugar is all about catering to our guests' sweet cravings, and it is no secret that many Starburst fans have a favorite flavor, and that flavor is often pink." At It'Sugar, the color pink is a flavor.
