    Texas gymnastics hero Simone Biles lands iconic cereal box cover

    Gymnastics' Greatest of All Time can now add cereal box cover model to her already gravity-defying resume. Simone Biles is gracing the cover of Wheaties boxes as part of the brand’s Century Collection series.

     

    The four-time Olympic gold medalist announced on social media that she’s joining a “very unique club.” Biles told her fans in a video that she’s joining fellow sports icons Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan on the "Century Collection" boxes.

     

    “Growing up, I looked up to Dominique Dawes and Serena Williams,” Biles told her 6.8 million Instagram followers, citing the pioneering Olympic gymnast known as “Awesome Dawesome” and fellow Black sports superstar and tennis champion.

     

    Wheaties, in turn, called Biles a “true champion” and “legend” and informed fans that the boxes will be available nationwide later this month.

     
     

    GUYS LOOOOOOK 🧡🧡🧡🧡 @wheaties My younger self is screaming!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/cIgNq1fbw2

    — Simone Biles (@Simone_Biles) June 15, 2022
     

    The Houston-area hero pointed out that Wheaties has always spotlighted athletes who “go above and beyond their sports and also give back to the world.” Longtime gymnastics fans will remember that another famous Texas gymnast, Mary Lou Retton, appeared on a Wheaties box after becoming the first American female gymnast to win the Olympic individual all-around gold medal, at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.

     

    Biles is a smart choice, as evidenced by her globally scrutinized, self-imposed break during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which raised awareness on the importance of mental health care, and her public crusade against convicted predator Larry Nassar — which shed light on the plight of victims everywhere.

     

    “It’s always important to see someone who looks like you succeeding, and to share the title of Wheaties Champion with them means the world to me,” Biles said in the video.

     

    And succeed she has. After winning a record seventh U.S. national championship in Fort Worth in June 2021, the most decorated gymnast in history earned a bronze medal despite her Summer Olympics struggle with "the twisties" and headlined a "Gold Over America Tour" with her Olympic teammates.

     

    She now is engaged and has been living her best life, if her social posts are any indicator. She also launched a clothing line with athleisure band Athleta.

     

    This isn’t Biles first cover appearance; she was recently named Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year.

    Happy Hour News

    Where to drink in Dallas right now: 8 best happy hours for July

    Summer's here, and it's time for Where to Drink, CultureMap's monthly column spotlighting best cocktails, happy hours, and special drinks. This edition includes seven happy hours, from poolside bars to secret all-day-happy-hour finds. There's also news of a fun new mixology class at a downtown Dallas hotel bar.

    Here's where to drink in Dallas for July:

    The Adolphus 
    Downtown Dallas hotel hosts a poolside happy hour Sunday-Thursday from 4-6 pm, featuring two discounted cocktails and private cabanas for rent. Two cocktails are half off: the 818 margarita on the rocks and the Sweet Escape with 818 Tequila, prickly pear shrub, blood orange liqueur, and lime. The drinks are regularly $18 but are $9 during happy hour. (The pool menu is here.) Note: It costs $50 for a daypass, and the cabanas are $300 for six people — but hey, a drink discount is a drink discount.

    Ellie’s Restaurant & Lounge 
    Restaurant at the Hall Arts Hotel in Dallas' Arts District has a new "Summer Fridays" happy hour beginning July 11, and running every Friday through Labor Day weekend, from 2:30-5 pm. It's half-off summer cocktails, wine, and beer, plus light bites with tunes from live DJ sets.

    Elm Street Cask and Kitchen 
    Downtown Dallas restaurant at the Hilton Garden Inn has a weekday happy hour Monday-Friday from 4-6 pm with $9 cocktails, $5 draft beer, $5 well highballs, and $4 house wine. Bites feature fried green tomatoes, chicken fried Brussels sprouts, and Cajun spiced sweet potato fries, starting at $5. The same specials can be had at a late night happy hour on Thursdays from 9-11 pm.

    Hinodeya 
    Acclaimed Japanese ramen restaurant on Greenville Avenue might seem like an unexpected choice for a Where to Drink roundup, but they're actually a secret find, because they have a happy hour that runs all day. On Monday-Thursday, from 11 am-11 pm, they have $5 drink specials featuring beer, wine, and sake. Wednesdays they have half off wine bottles.

    Kalamaki Greek 
    Greek restaurant in Anna from owner Reza rt Tafa and his family serving soups, salads, and gyros opened in March 2024, only recently added alcohol, namely beer and wine including labels from Greece — and at a discount, all summer long: Wine by the glass is $6 and all beers are $4.

    The Parlor 
    Downtown Dallas Sheraton hotel bar is hosting a guided cocktail-making class every Monday with Mixology Mondays. It’s open to both visitors and hotel guests and led by the hotel’s in-house mixologist featuring a step-by-step of cocktails such as an old fashioned or a mojito. The event is 21 and up, tickets are $30. Classes are every Monday from 5-6 pm.

    Table 13 
    Addison cocktail lounge has a new weekday happy hour featuring discounted cocktails, beer, and wine. Old fashioneds and martinis are $7, wine and spirits are $2 off, and beer is $1 off. Snacks, too: Appetizers including spinach artichoke dip, prime beef sliders, peppered prime meatballs, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp are $3 off. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 4-7 pm.

    Ten Bells Tavern 
    Recently reopened cat-obsessed tavern in Bishop Arts is back with a bang. It closed due to demolition for new apartments in 2022, and it has since reopened in a new space at 231 W. Eighth St. They have a weekday happy hour featuring $5 wells, drafts and cans, and $6 appetizers like hummus or chips and curry. For $5, you can get five wings. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-7 pm.
