    With our big eating holiday behind us, we're ready for some healthy restaurant news. Greenville Avenue will soon welcome a new serve-yourself salad concept. Coppell will be home to a new player in the self-serve frozen-yogurt world. And Lakewood, a neighborhood better known for independently owned restaurants, will soon become the latest location for a well-known healthy-ish restaurant chain.

    The diet starts here:

    Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, a fro-yo chain out of Oklahoma with more than 280 branches around the world, will open a branch at 817 S. MacArthur Blvd. in Coppell. Orange Leaf is one of the fastest-growing self-serve frozen dessert franchises. It's a self-serve, choose-your-own-toppings kind of place with a multitude of delicious, traditional and original flavors along with no sugar-added, gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives, plus the usual toppings bar.

    Chipotle Mexican Grill will open its Lakewood area location on December 7, at 2201 Abrams Rd. The new 2,132-square-foot restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating for about 80 guests and will be open daily from 11 am to 10 pm. Expect the signature menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (burritos minus the tortilla) and salads, with meats and vegetarian options such as grilled vegetables, black beans, pinto beans and guacamole, all made fresh several times daily. Chipotle burritos and burrito bowls can be ordered with white or brown rice and topped with mild, medium or hot salsas.

    Build-your-own salad restaurant Crisp Salad Company celebrates its grand opening on Lower Greenville on December 4. Guests can opt to build their own or order off the menu from one of the signature salads such as Cobb, kale, curry Waldorf and Thai. There are 70-plus toppings and six dressings: jalapeño ranch, avocado tzatziki, truffle dressing, spicy Thai peanut, cilantro lime, and sweet and smoky chipotle. Crisp Salad will make any salad into a wrap or flatbread, and it will offer soups, artisan bread, gluten-free bread, and mini cupcakes and yogurt parfaits.

    FM Smoke House, the meaty restaurant in Irving owned by Christi and Brian Rudolph of Holy Grail Pub, recently updated its lunch menu, with chicken tacos, pulled pork tacos, brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. New desserts include ice cream and pudding – a croissant and buttermilk biscuit pudding topped with candied pecans, whiskey sauce and pecan porter ice cream.

    Pour House Fort Worth has also added new-ish menu items, including cheeseburger salad; sriracha chicken sandwich, which is a deep-fried breaded chicken breast dipped in sriracha sauce and topped with Monterey Jack cheese; 7th Street burger with cream cheese, bacon, jalapeños and red onions; fish and chips; and onion rings.

    Second Floor Bistro has a new fall menu with an American contemporary twist. Consider smoked duck confit gordita; Scottish salmon with root vegetable succotash and gold beet purée; pizza with boar and venison sausage, duck confit, red onion and piquillo pepper; filet Daniel with scallop and crab mousse; and smoked chicken atop pumpernickel stuffing, with broccoli and cranberry sauce. New desserts include pumpkin cheesecake pops and pear cobbler.

    Salum and Komali, the two Uptown restaurants owned by chef Abraham Salum, have a new executive chef: Ian Tate. He was formerly with the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C. He previously helped open Brownstone in Fort Worth, Rathbun's Blue Plate Kitchen and Slow Bone. He also is a former executive chef of Nova.

    H-E-B begins quest for Texas' best in 2026 grocery competition

    It’s not America’s Got Talent or The Voice, but for 12 years, H-E-B has been steadily churning out stars. Through its annual Quest for Texas Best competition, small companies have become literal household names, filling pantries across the state. Now, a new crop of products has the chance to audition.

    H-E-B’s Quest for Texas Best will take applications for its 13th annual contest from March 11 through April 22. Small business owners and entrepreneurs across the state can submit their unique and innovative products to win a combined $100,000 in cash prizes and the opportunity to feature their products on H-E-B shelves across Texas.

    Since the competition started, H-E-B has discovered over 1,000 unique products across the Lone Star State. These have included various food and non-food items, including cookies, coffees, beauty items, toys, home goods, and even roasted crickets. The contest has awarded nearly $3 million in prize money and provided valuable marketing, mentoring, and supplemental support to its winners.

    Over the years, Dallas-Fort worth has been well-represented among the champions. Spicytude, a Dallas company that sells Indian spices and chai tea, won third place in the 2025 competition, netting a $10,000 prize and opportunity to have products sold at H-E-B stores.

    To be considered for the contest, interested suppliers and manufacturers can submit videos online. After the Call for Entries period is complete, H-E-B's Business Development Managers will select the top applicants who will head to San Antonio in October to present their wares in person before a panel of judges.

    The jury will determine the top four winning products and award $50,000 to the Grand Prize winner, the title of "Texas Best," and placement on H-E-B store shelves. The first-place winner will receive $25,000, the second-place winner will receive $15,000, and the third-place winner will receive $10,000.

    “We look forward to connecting with Texas-based innovators each year and providing exciting opportunities through this competition,” said James Harris, H-E-B’s Sr. Director of Diversity & Inclusion and Supplier Diversity for H-E-B, in a release. “I can’t wait to see what products are brought to the table this year. After 12 years of the H-E-B Quest for Texas Best, the creativity and ingenuity of Texans still inspire me.”
