    BBQ at Starbucks

    Starbucks treads on Texas turf with new barbecue brisket sandwich

    It's a good thing Texas doesn't get all cuckoo and territorial about little things like barbecue; otherwise there might be grounds for outrage over a new menu item at Starbucks. Continuing to expand its food program, the coffee chain has debuted an unprecedented sandwich on its summer menu, made with BBQ beef brisket.

    The BBQ beef brisket sandwich comes on sourdough bread, with Jack cheese and onions braised in Gordon Biersch blonde bock beer. The sandwich, which is "reminiscent of an outdoor barbecue," is served warm.

    There's also a chicken sandwich on flatbread, and a new bistro box packed with omega-3. It contains smoked wild Alaskan salmon cream cheese spread, edamame hummus, omega-3-infused trail mix with dark chocolate chunks, wheat-free crackers and cucumbers.

    Bistro boxes are like adult happy meals. A prosciutto and mozzarella pinwheel bistro box is available only on a test basis in Orlando and San Diego.

    Citing a 2013 study showing that 50 percent of what Americans eat each day is snacks, Starbucks has added more than a dozen snacks, which it says are designed to be consumed day or night, for plane travel or road trips, for spontaneous picnics and after-work bites. Does that leave out any eating event opportunity?

    "Since so many people are snacking these days, we decided to increase the number of snacks we offer in our stores, both sweet and savory," says Ellie Halevy, a Starbucks VP.

    Several of these new snacks are seasonal, including taffy, chewing gum and a raspberry chocolate chip scone that replaces the cranberry orange scone, available through September. The snacks will be available in 3,400 stores in major metropolitan areas.

    On the beverage front, Starbucks rolled out cold brew coffee, which has become a coffeehouse darling. Ground coffee is steeped in cool water for 20 hours, and it is served unsweetened to highlight its smooth, naturally sweet taste.

    That's different from iced coffee, which is coffee that's brewed hot, then iced down, and often doctored with milk and sugar. And as long as we're going through this, an iced latte is espresso brewed hot, then mixed with ice and milk.

    Closure news

    Longtime Thai restaurant Bangkok on Dallas' Greenville Ave to close

    A longtime Asian restaurant on Dallas' Greenville Avenue is closing: Bangkok, which has been authentic Thai flavors and heartfelt hospitality at 4503 Greenville Ave. since the early 1990s, will close its doors on June 30.

    According to a release, owners Joe and Sunny Pumphaung, who have run the restaurant together since Joe took ownership in the early 1990s, are closing due to rising operational costs and a desire to spend more time with their aging parents.

    The couple, who married shortly after Joe took over Bangkok City on Greenville Avenue, have spent their lives building a restaurant rooted in family, culture, and community.

    “While this was not an easy decision, we know in our hearts that it’s time,” said Sunny. “We’re so proud of the memories and meals shared here. Bangkok has been our home, and we’re grateful to have shared it with so many.”

    Joe grew up in a family of restaurateurs in Thailand and studied culinary arts at the Royal Family’s prestigious cooking school, where he was trained not only in Thai cuisine but also in the art of fruit and vegetable carving and floral arrangement—elements that reflected the importance of presentation, beauty, and tradition in Thai culture.

    These values were brought to life at Bangkok at Greenville in every dish served and every guest interaction.

    Over the years, the restaurant became more than a dining destination—it became a second home for guests who returned time and time again to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, quiet weeknights, and special occasions.

    “Many of our staff have been with us for 20 to 30 years,” Joe says. “They’re not just employees—they’re family. And to our guests, you are family too. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives.”
