On July 7, Brentwood replaced Houston to serve clients and guests with great sophistication and executive atmosphere and design according to a Dallas Morning News article from July 6. They say,  “This restaurant location is an icon of Dallas dining,” says the restaurant group’s CEO and founder Hunter Pond, in a statement. Brentwood still has the dark-wood walls and split-level dining in the bar and in the sun room, but the whole room is airier, with more banquettes — the ideal setting for power lunches and date-night dinners. Brentwood is the newest brand from parent company Vandelay Hospitality. None of its concepts stray too far from home. There’s Hudson House, Vandelay’s most well-known and prolific brand; East Hampton Sandwich Co., Pond’s original restaurant; Drake’s Hollywood, the Park Cities adjacent steakhouse; Lucky’s Chicken, the growing hot chicken spot; and D.L. Mack’s, another American restaurant.” But Brentwood is not just all about great designs or noble and sophi...

Like most virtual brands, the goal is to take advantage of extra kitchen capacity and increase sales. Cowboy Chicken restaurants already were equipped with fryers. In an interview earlier this year, Kennedy said it was a brand they have been tinkering with since the 2020 launch as a “bolt on” to the Cowboy Chicken brand.  “We really learned how to market a brand you can’t touch,” he said. “We’ve got the kitchen capacity to be able to handle more volume. … It may not fit into all of our kitchens, but it fits into most.” And their menu of course, will comprise primarily of chicken-based items but the items won’t...

A Texas secret waterfall in Limestone Quarry Park  has been found and despite being small, it is still Instagram worthy and therapeutic to visit according to a Local Profile article from May 31. They say,  “The waterfall trickles into the calm, moss-green water of the creek, providing a picturesque departure from the hustle and bustle of the workweekˆ and a respite from the Texas heat. We think it best to inform you right now that this is not Texas’s Niagara Falls. The Limestone Quarry Park waterfall is small. It’s also intermittent, streaming for five to 10 minutes, and then stopping for another 15 or so. However, it is still a beautiful photo opportunity and is surrounded by plenty of dry rock, so you can leave behind your personal belongings before exploring the rest of the park. Limestone Quarry Park in Frisco is one of Collin County’s hidden gems, providing photo opportunities, a safe haven from the summer heat and plenty of space to explore and traverse at your leisu...
