Ok, maybe it’s a French version of a street brawl – the French aren’t really known for advocating violence. Go Oak Cliff is excited to announce that the list of chefs for the first annual Bastille on Bishop mussel cook-off has been finalized. Marc Cassel – Park Graham Dodds – Bolsa Randal Copeland – AVA [...]
Several friends had mentioned to me recently that they had enjoyed the $1 breakfast tacos at the new Burguesa Burger on Ft. Worth Avenue, so we at Go Oak Cliff decided it was time to try them for ourselves. It was our first peek inside the restaurant and they’ve done a great job at creating [...]
There were so many strongly worded comments to our last post regarding the new concept from the folks at Bolsa that we decided to talk directly with Chris Jeffers and Chris Zilke to get their reaction on our readers reaction to the Los Dos Chrises taco idea.

Yet it seemed from the beginning that this particular location struggled to attract a fraction of the following that their Travis Walk location attracted. There were several times that I [...]
Smoke Chef Tim Byres has been busy. Last Friday, June 4, he was in Washington, DC at the White House meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama regarding her initiative to teach school kids about healthy eating with “Chefs Move to Schools.” And a few weeks before that he was in New York City cooking for [...]
