This week in gluttony
These are the 6 best food and drink events in Dallas this week
There's a "university" for smoking brisket, and it's hosting a class this week.
The week starts with a handful of pairing dinners, including two with wine and one with tequila. Reservations are going fast for all three. Then comes with a real Sunday Funday that offers yoga at a brewery, a brisket-smoking class at another brewery, then an all-day brunch party at yet another brewery. Plan accordingly.
