    Bullet Train Update

    Bullet train between Dallas and Houston may be derailed by new bill

    The plans for the $12 billion high-speed bullet train that would connect Dallas and Houston may be thwarted by a new bill proposed in the Texas Senate. The bill, filed by Republican State Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, would strip high-speed rail line developers of eminent domain authority.

    As the Texas Tribune notes, Kolkhorst's actions are rooted in the fear that landowners could lose property over a project that she believes will be unsuccessful. The bill was filed by the Senate Transportation Committee by a close 5-4 vote. Kolkhorst and four other Republicans voted in favor of the bill. Houston Democrats Rodney Ellis and Sylvia Garcia, along with Dallas Republicans Don Huffines and Van Taylor opposed it.

    The Texas Central Railway, a privately funded company, plans to build a 205 mph bullet train that will speed passengers between Dallas and Houston in 90 minutes. In October, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) revealed potential maps for the route between the two major metropolitan cities. The plan is strongly supported by Houston Mayor Annise Parker, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price.

    But now, Senate Bill 1601 looms as a potential roadblock to a bullet train that has been making steady forward progress since 2012.

    Hot dog!

    Portillo's lands at DFW Airport with famous Chicago-style hot dogs

    Dallas Fort Worth International Airport has officially arrived: It now has a Portillo’s. The Chicago-based fast-casual chain opened its first-ever airport location at DFW Airport’s Terminal B on Wednesday, May 27.

    Crucially, it's across from the CultureMap store. Look for the black, white, and teal CultureMap sign and then look across to Portillo's. You can't miss it.

    The restaurant features a new small, dine-in only format - no drive-thru, of course - and seats about 50 guests. A colorful mural along the back wall depicts DFW Airport and the skylines of Dallas and Fort Worth on either side.

    According to a release, the airport location includes multiple ordering touchpoints - including register ordering, self-order kiosks, and order-ahead pickup - along with a dedicated Portillo’s Grab & Go area for travelers seeking to quickly tote food on the plane, to their gate, or for leisurely meals during layovers or the unfortunate flight cancellation.

    Guests can expect signature Portillo’s items like Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, and Portillo’s "famous" chocolate cake.

    Hot dogs come in regular, chili cheese, Polish sausage, and Maxwell Street Polish sausage, which has mustard and grilled onions.

    Their Italian beef sandwich features thinly sliced roast beef served on French bread, which is then dipped in hot gravy. You can order it dipped with sweet or hot peppers and mozzarella.

    Importantly, Portillo’s at DFW will also serve breakfast, including the Polish Sausage, Egg & Cheese Sandwich and the Maple Sausage & Egg Croissant, from 5 am-10:30 am daily.

    To celebrate the grand opening of its new airport location in Terminal B, the release says, Portillo’s will offer a free slice of its legendary Chocolate Cake to the first 200 guests who visit the new location on May 28, giving travelers the opportunity to enjoy Portillo’s “cakes on a plane.” (Limit one per guest.)

    Fans who sign up for Portillo’s Perks will also receive a welcome reward of free French Fries.

    DFW Airport is the 12th location of Portillo's in Dallas-Fort Worth and first in Frisco; the first opened at the Grandscape development in The Colony in January 2023. They've rapidly expanded since then, adding outposts in Allen, Arlington, Denton, Fort Worth, Grapevine, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, and in recent months, inside the Dallas city limits and Frisco.
