    This year's hottest headlines

    The 10 most-devoured restaurant and bar headlines of 2022 in Dallas

    Stephanie Allmon Merry
    Dec 23, 2022 | 1:00 pm

    Editor's note: As the year comes to a close, we look back at the 10 most-read restaurant and bar stories of 2022. The list features a couple of sad closures, but also long-awaited supermarket news, and some fun expansions and new concepts coming to town - including one inside a Dallas landmark. These are the dining stories that Dallas readers devoured most, all from CultureMap dining editor Teresa Gubbins.

    1. Longtime Mexican restaurant in Deep Ellum closes, breastaurant on the way. A longtime Mexican restaurant in Deep Ellum closed in late November: Maracas Cocina Mexicana, which had been in business at 2914 Main St. in one form or another since 1992, closed on November 25, to be replaced with another concept whose identity was still to be (officially) announced.

    Mike's Chicken

    Some people say their fried chicken is the best in Dallas.

    2. Newest 7-Eleven store in Dallas comes with unheard-of amenity: a patio. Convenience store king 7-Eleven in June opened a new store in Dallas with a previously unheard-of offering at a 7-Eleven store: a patio. Located at 13635 Preston Rd. at the corner of Alpha Road, this was one of the chain's "Evolution Stores," a concept that strives to upgrade the convenience store model, serving as a testing ground featuring their latest products and innovations.

    3. Seafood restaurant with incredible patio opens at Grand Prairie marina. A location with one of the best patios in Dallas-Fort Worth is now home to a new restaurant: Called Blue Sunshine Patio Bar & Grill, it's a seafood-driven restaurant opened in Grand Prairie at 5700 Lake Ridge Pkwy. off Texas 360, in the space that was previously The Oasis at Joe Pool Lake.

    4. Where to eat on Thanksgiving at Dallas restaurants: 2022 edition. One minute it was January. The next minute, we were thinking about the holidays. It's never too soon to start dreaming about pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and stuffing fragrant with sage and thyme. In October, we rounded up the best restaurants to get Thanksgiving 2022 feasts in Dallas.

    5. Dallas hot rodder Richard Rawlings to open mega-restaurant-bar in Lewisville. There was a double dose of news about Dallas hot rodder Richard Rawlings one week in August. First came news that the Fast N' Loud reality show star and owner of Gas Monkey Garage was selling off a slew of classic cars — nearly his entire collection. Then came word that he's gearing up to open another bar-restaurant mega-venue in Dallas-Fort Worth.

    6. Portillo's deploys food truck to Dallas to preview its famed Chicago hot dog. Chicago-style hot dogs popped up over the summer via Portillo's, the fast-casual restaurant concept known for its Chicago-style street food. Portillo's brought its Beef Bus food truck to tour Texas from July 11-23, offering a preview of its menu ahead of the first restaurant opening in Texas. The Beef Bus then came back in September.

    7. H-E-B sets opening date for first supermarket in Dallas-Fort Worth. In early September, H-E-B fans could mark it on their calendars in red: The Texas supermarket chain had finally set a date for the opening of its new store in Frisco, which would also be the first H-E-B location in the Dallas area. It would be opening on Wednesday, September 21 at 6 am.

    8. Old school club in Dallas' Deep Ellum shuts down after a decade. A Dallas bar closed after a decade in Deep Ellum: Wits End, an old-school hangout in the epicenter of the neighborhood at 2724 Elm St., closed its doors on June 26. The bar was one of the last with a throwback vibe that hearkened to the Deep Ellum of old, with band stickers, graffiti, and slight medal edge — reminiscent of when Deep Ellum was a music-driven neighborhood.

    9. New steakhouse from Las Vegas team coming to Dallas' landmark Reunion Tower. Reunion Tower, the blinking ball on the skyline of downtown Dallas, announced in October it finally has a new tenant: Called Crown Block, it's a steak and seafood restaurant from Las Vegas group Blau + Associates, set to open in spring 2023.

    10. Dallas' legendary Mike's Chicken expands from original laundromat location. A family run fried-chicken restaurant in Dallas that has earned national acclaim said in January it was expanding: Mike's Chicken, which has been serving great fried chicken made to order at 4234 Maple Ave. for more than six years, would be opening a second location at 7752 Forest Ln., in the little strip center at US-75, across from Medical City, in the former Taco Y Mas space.

    Cobbler News

    Peach cobbler concept to open 2 locations at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport

    Up close and personal with peach cobbler at Peach Cobbler Factory.

    Southern desserts are coming to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW): The Peach Cobbler Factory, a chain based in North Carolina, will open not one but two locations at the airport, in partnership with concessionaire M2 Concepts, a minority-owned airport dining and hospitality company that operates in DFW, Houston (IAH), and San Antonio (SAT) airports.

    According to a release, the first DFW location will open in Terminal D in late 2025; a second location will open in the new Terminal C Pier in 2026.

    They'll serve the signature peach cobbler, banana pudding, and cobbler shakes, impressing the nearly 90 million travelers from all over the world who pass through DFW every year.

    The concept started out as a food truck in Nashville in 2013, then began franchising in 2022. The company is co-owned by Larry Johnston (former Chairman & CEO of Albertsons Inc.) and Greg George, a franchising veteran with 25 years of industry experience. They've grown to 115 locations across 22 states. Those include traditional restaurants but also mobile trailers, stadiums — and now airports.

    Cobber is the centerpiece of the menu, served warm with ice cream, in 12 flavors including peach, strawberry peach, blackberry peach, and cinnamon praline peach. Non-peach flavors include cherry, caramel-apple, honey-apple, apple-walnut-raisin, and sweet potato-pecan.

    They also offer 12 varieties of banana pudding with additions like Nutella, Oreo cookies, and Butterfingers. Red velvet banana pudding features red velvet cake with cream cheese icing layered into the banana pudding.

    In a statement, CEO Greg George reiterates that thought, noting that "DFW is one of the world's busiest airports, and we are honored to bring a taste of Southern hospitality to its travelers. Whether someone is craving our classic fruit cobblers or one of our 12 flavors of banana pudding, we want every bite to feel like a sweet escape—no matter where their journey takes them."

    In 2024, DFW served 87.8 million passengers, ranking it as the second-busiest airport in the U.S. and the third-busiest globally, making it a perfect stage for increasing brand awareness as The Peach Cobbler Factory continues its rapid expansion across America.
