    This roundup of restaurant news around Dallas features openings, a closure, a chef collaboration (or two), Hatch chiles, and collectible cups.

    Here's what's happening in Dallas restaurant news:

    HTeaO, the Texas brand offering more than 20 flavors of iced tea, is opening a shop in Allen on Saturday, August 17. Located at 103 N. Greenville Ave. at the intersection of Main Street, it's the first store in Allen, joining 16 other locations across DFW.

    Perch Bistro & Bar is the name of a new concept now open in the space formerly occupied by Dea, an Italian restaurant that opened two years ago at 7709 Inwood Rd. by Tracy Moore Rathbun and Lynae Fearing, owners of Shinsei next door. According to a release, Perch is, like Dea, serving Italian food, with a menu overseen by culinary director Roman Murphy, who also oversaw the menu at Dea. Dishes include pizza, crab cake arancini, duck confit over cauliflower puree, and Genovese rigatoni with short ribs, which sounds quite similar to the pasta alla Genovese with short rib served at Dea.

    Espadas, a family-owned Brazilian churrascuria-style steakhouse from brothers Raul and Joaquin Almanza, relocated into a new, larger location in Mesquite at 1200 E. Davis St. #116 on July 12.

    Sugar Factory, the Miami-based chain known for over-the-top desserts and drinks has reportedly closed its Dallas location at 1900 Cedar Springs Rd., according to various sources, although a spokesperson for the chain did not respond to inquiries.

    Dog Haus has teamed up with L.A. chef and TV personality Eric Greenspan to launch the Big Belly Burger, featuring two smashed beef patties, American cheese, onions, and pickles on a Big Marty's sesame seed potato roll. Priced at $13, it's available through the end of August.

    Sprinkles, the cupcake chain, has teamed with Food Network's Padma Lakshmi on a limited-edition mango cupcake with mango curd and yogurt frosting. The cupcake is $6 and is available at Dallas and Plano locations until August 18.

    Carrabba's Italian Grill is hosting a special weekend offering of a three-course dinner for two for $45, available Saturday-Sunday through August. The menu includes soup or salad; entrée such as lasagne, mezzaluna, or Tuscan-grilled pork chop; and dessert to share, such as strawberry cheesecake or tiramisu.

    Lounge by TopGolf, the PGA Frisco dining concept, has launched a menu of Tex-Mex specialties. New starters include chipotle hummus with fried naan, and street corn fries. Entrees include cilantro & lime chopped salad, Buffalo chicken pizza, a Cubano, Baja salmon and dulce de leche churros. Prices range from $12 for street corn fries to $24 for Baja salmon.

    Mi Dia From Scratch has launched a Hatch chile menu, available through August 31, including an $18 Hatch burger with a Wagyu-chorizo patty, green Hatch chile sauce, and fried quail eggs; a 28-day-aged skirt steak topped with a stuffed Hatch chile; fried chicken tacos with Hatch chile queso; and savory sopapillas filled with ground beef, with Hatch green chili sauce.

    UnaVida at the West Village has a new menu with light options for lunch and dinner including smoked chicken meatballs, salmon ceviche, carnitas torta, torta carne asada, and mezcal Mayan prawn, priced from $16-$32. New brunch items include the $12 breakfast quesadilla, blueberry French toast, and the ultimate brunch torta (both $17), available Saturday-Sunday from 11 am-3 pm. New desserts feature the churro banana split and chocoflan.

    Dive Coastal in Snider Plaza has new specials including BBQ chicken salad and an entree with chicken, tomatillo, and avocado; and a watermelon refresher with a watermelon slice on the rim. Available through the end of August.

    El Chico has a deal for parents: With each adult entrée purchase, customers can get one $0.99 meal for kids 12 and younger from the Little Amigos menu. The offer will be available every Thursday at the Rockwall location.

    Yogurtland has debuted seasonal flavors including pumpkin spice, S'Mores, and salted caramel pecan frozen yogurt, as well as a new topping: chocolate chip cheesecake bites.

    McDonald's has a new line of collectible cups, available in six designs: Grimace Mug, Hello Kitty, Barbie, Shrek, Ty Beanie Babies, and Snoopy. They're pint-sized and made of plastic (not glass), and come with the purchase of a sausage McMuffin, chicken McNuggets, or a Big Mac meal.

    Fuzzy's Taco Shop has a limited-time Watermelon Jala-‘Rita available until September 8. The margarita features country music star Thomas Rhett’s Dos Primos Blanco Tequila, watermelon, and jalapeño, served in a Tajin-rimmed 18-ounce glass.

    Globe Life Field has been named by PETA as one of the most vegan-friendly ballparks in the U.S., thanks to its animal-friendly menu — be sure check out their PLT portabella mushroom sandwich, meat-free burgers, meat-free hot dogs, meat-free nuggets, vegan nachos, and vegan soft-serve at the Oatly stand.

    Modern takes on classic sandwiches and burgers are on the menu.

    Plano's sports bar scene has a new player: Victory Tap Sports Lounge has debuted in time for World Cup soccer-watching, at 5973 W. Parker Rd. in West Plano Village.

    The restaurant and lounge comes from Lombardi Family Concepts, the company behind Dallas-Fort Worth restaurants like Bistro 31, Toulouse Cafe & Bar, Taverna, and Lombardi Cucina Italiana. According to a release, Victory Tap is designed to serve as a neighborhood destination for game-day gatherings, happy hours, brunches, and casual dinners.

    Victory Tap occupies a 7,600-square-foot space with seating for 250. In addition to food and drink, it offers guests a chance to get in the game with a professional-grade Formula 1 racing simulator, outdoor bocce court, cornhole, foosball, shuffleboard, and tournament events.

    And of course, there are many TV's for sports-watching - 32 to be exact - and two video walls.

    Just as important as the TV offerings are the food offerings.

    "Far from being an afterthought, the kitchen is central to the Victory Tap concept, with a menu designed to stand on its own as a dining destination," says the release. "Victory Tap bridges the gap between classic tavern favorites and premium dining, pairing familiar sports bar staples with elevated culinary touches, high-quality ingredients, and chef-driven execution."

    The menu features sports-bar faves along with sushi, seafood, pizzas, sandwiches, and entrees. The list of highlights is long, so how 'bout a bullet-point list, by category.

    Starters such as:

    • Chicken Wings in flavors such as Spicy Buffalo, Texas Dry Rub, Hot Honey, Thai Chili Garlic, and Texas Peach BBQ
    • Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
    • Birria Brisket Tacos
    • Prime Steak Wedge Salad with candied bacon, roasted tomato, pickled onions, and blue cheese ranch
    • Mediterranean Salmon Bowl

    Tavern pizzas like:
    • Chicken Pesto Pizza
    • Calabrese Pizza with Calabrese salami, hot honey, garlic oil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano
    "Between the bun" offerings like:
    • Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    • Victory Smash Burger
    • Texas Burger with pepper and bacon jam, roasted jalapeño aioli, and Vermont cheddar
    • Chicken Parm Sub
    • Texas Cheesesteak with ribeye, white queso, onions, jalapeños, and au jus
    Entree options:

    The beverage menu includes Victory Tap's take on a Ranch Water with a guest's choice of passionfruit, mango or peach; The Red Card - a frozen cocktail with St-Germain, watermelon, raspberry, lime, prosecco and mint; High Quality H2O - Tito's Vodka, aloe liqueur, cucumber, lemongrass and sparkling water; Mango Lychee Martini - Patron Silver, mango, lychee, sour pineapple, coconut flakes; The Kucklepuck - Maker’s Mark Bourbon, barrel-aged stout cordial, angostura and a pretzel bites; and the Shake & Bake - a frozen cocktail with Grey Goose, passionfruit, pineapple soft serve, lime, vanilla and champagne.

    Happy hour is available Monday-Friday from 11 am-6 pm and includes $1 off draft beer, $2 off spirits and wine by the glass, and select appetizers for $10.

    The restaurant was designed by Filipe Pao Nunes and draws inspiration from classic athletic heritage, Ivy League traditions and timeless athletic clubs.

    "A great restaurant becomes part of the neighborhood, part of the routine," says founder and owner Alberto Lombardi in the release. "With Victory Tap, we created a place for all of it — the big games, the slow Sunday mornings, the nights that stretch longer than planned."

    Victory Tap is open 11 am-10 pm Monday-Thursday, 11 am-12 am Friday-Saturday, and 11 am-9 pm Sunday. Weekend brunch is served from 11 am-3 pm Saturday-Sunday.
