    This week's roundup of food and drink events around Dallas has several unique pairings: Pilates and palomas, Asian cuisine and craft beer, and pimento cheese at a PGA golf resort. There's also a new sky-high spot for girls night out, and a foodie sampling stroll that will make grocery shopping feel like a tropical getaway.

    Here's the top foodie events of the week:

    Wednesday, April 10

    Pilates & Palomas at Hall Arts Hotel
    Pair Pilates with grapefruit-infused palomas at Hall Arts Hotel, who’ll host a 50-minute mat-based class from Pilates 214 followed by a lesson in paloma-making by Lalo Tequila. The event is $25 and begins at 5:30 pm.

    Thursday, April 11

    A Taste of Augusta at PGA Frisco
    Savor the flavors of the Masters Tournament, held in Augusta, Georgia, during this watch party at The Monument Realty PGA District. Live tournament coverage will air on the 900 square-foot video wall, while dining venues including Ice House, Ryder Grille, and the Lounge by Topgolf will serve Augusta-inspired cocktails and dishes, like the Matsuyama Poke named for 2021 winner Hideki Matsuyama. Tournament staples like the fan-favorite pimento cheese sandwiches, chicken salad, and egg salad sandwiches will also be available to purchase. Golf fans can partake in the festivities through the end of the tournament on Sunday.

    Jewels of the New World Wine Dinner at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse
    Guests will enjoy a one-of-a-kind five-course meal with the iconic Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon while exploring hidden gems and unique terroirs within Chile.

The dinner is $225 and starts at 7 pm. Buy tickets for Plano here, and Dallas here.

    Ladies Night at Waterproof
    The Statler hotel’s sky-high rooftop pool and bar welcomes all glam girls for a new Thursday ladies night.

    Richardson dessert shop Chocolate Drip lays out eye-catching treats

    A dessert shop in Richardson has become the toast of the sweets world: Called Chocolate Drip, it opened in August at 1057 S. Sherman St., in a center east of US-75 near Spring Valley Road, where it's rolling out some eye-catching chocolate treats.

    Chocolate Drip is a passion project from Mohammad Quzmar, a Palestinian-born owner who moved to Dallas four years ago and taught himself to cook through tinkering. That experimentation has translated into a constantly evolving menu, with new creations appearing whenever inspiration strikes — earning him a growing reputation as something of a modern-day Willy Wonka.

    "Chocolate is my passion. I just love being in the kitchen and creating,” he says.

    The cafe's offerings are extensive, from sweet breakfast staples like pancakes and waffles to off-menu items teased on the café’s Instagram, such as the Dubai Drip platter — an interactive fondue plate with fruit, brownies, waffles, marshmallows, to be dipped into melted chocolate and pistachio cream.

    Many of his items have the kind of eye-catching twists and table-side presentations that draw attention on Instagram, such as the cruffle (a waffle made from a croissant) topped with spaghetti-like strands of gelato, which a server extrudes through a potato ricer right before your eyes.

    Other signatures include a teddy bear made of chocolate mousse and kanafa, finished with pistachio sauce for $13.30, and crepes filled with a brownie, with pistachio and chocolate sauce for $15.

    Prices are not cheap but these are ultra-decadent items with generous portions, often meant for sharing.

    The drink list is ambitious, spanning coffee, matcha, smoothies, milkshakes, and nonalcoholic mocktails. It's obvious Quzmar is having fun, rolling out his versions of viral items like the famous s'mores hot chocolate pioneered by New York dessert shop Glace, which features a cap made of marshmallow meringue that’s torched and topped with a chocolate bonbon.

    There are also a few savory offerings like egg-and-cheese crepes, a salmon croissant, and a turkey waffle. Those in the know also come to order Middle Eastern treats like salab, a creamy milk drink topped with cinnamon; and Om Ali, a sugary pudding with nuts, dried fruit, and coconut.

    Named after the Gen Z slang for “cool” or “stylish,” Drip is meant to be a hangout spot more than a quick dessert stop, Quzmar says — a place to linger over brunch, then return late night to a place that feels buzzy and fun sans alcohol.

    “Everyone who works here is either family or treated like family and everything is homemade with love," he says.
