    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 tortaTorta by UnaVidaAdriana Herrera

    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.

    Award-winning Dallas bakery scores storefront in Oak Cliff mixed use

    One of Dallas' best bakeries is graduating to a new location: Kuluntu Bakery, which currently operates as a cottage bakery in Oak Cliff, is moving into the East Dock, the innovative new mixed-use hub at 900 E. Clarendon Dr. near the Dallas Zoo and Halperin Park.

    Founded in 2018, Kuluntu is the cottage food bakery that has been selling breads and pastries from an Oak Cliff home. Despite not having a brick-and-mortar location, the bakery has racked up numerous awards including an impressive ranking on a Food & Wine list of the Best Breads in Every State, a 2023 nomination for a James Beard Award, and a CultureMap Tastemaker Awards nomination for co-founder Stephanie Leichtle-Chalklen for Best Pastry Chef.

    And now they will have a brick-and-mortar location.

    Their current menu changes weekly, with breads such as country sour and lemon-lavender-walnut sour; their signature granola; cinnamon rolls; and pastries such as almond & lemon croissant, cheesy artichoke galette, and salted rye chocolate chip cookies. They send out an email to subscribers every week listing the latest offerings. (To get on the list, email kuluntu@kuluntubakery.org.)

    "At the new location, we will be expanding the menu quite a bit," Leichtle-Chalken says. "It will include items that we’re currently baking plus South African dishes for lunch service."

    They're hoping to be open by the end of the year, and once they do open, they'll close down the cottage operation.

    But Leichtle-Chalklen says this new location will be more than a bakery — it will be a community hub that centers women’s experiences and builds collective power through education, health & wellness, and equity initiatives.

    She already operates Kuluntu as a non-profit, with a goal of co-creating a more equitable food system and community by connecting the food industry, consumers, and partners to center women and humanize all food workers.

    Sustainability and taking care of the planet is a practice that threads throughout their organization: whether that's using Barton Springs Mill organic flours and Cedar Ridge Egg Farm free-range eggs, or whether it's following zero-waste baking by recycling, composting, and using environmentally friendly packaging.

    They'll fit right in at East Dock, a former industrial building that was built in 1915 and is being thoughtfully refurbished with a goal of creating an 18-hour campus: coffee in the morning, daytime operators such as offices, studios, and restaurants, then bars and entertainment at night.

    On July 12, Kuluntu will host "Reimagining an Inclusive Restaurant in Dallas," where attendees can learn about the lived experiences of women food workers and how we can humanize the food system, as well as re-imagine what an equitable and inclusive restaurant could be — sharing your experiences, ideas, and perspectives to shape Kuluntu Bakery into a true community space for all. Pastries and beverages will be included.

    The session will take place at East Dock, allowing a preview of the site which will be under active construction. Get tickets here.
