As we’re going deep into spring, when rainy days, flowers, and allergies seem to be taking place almost simultaneously, the idea of doing a Spring Cleaning came to my mind. Not just my house or my closet, but my body too! So when I saw that the new health-conscious restaurant at the Toyota Music Factory complex called Freshii is offering a 1 (Quickie), 3 (Determined), and 5-day (Focused) juice cleanse package, I decided to try it! 

As a food aficionado, I have come to believe that when it comes to international cuisines, the more unassuming the eatery, the more authentic the flavor. Think about it, there are countless hole-in-a-wall spots that are home to the best tacos, falafels, and in this case, Japanese food! 

Created to be the lighter, more cheerful alternative to Sunday dinner, brunch has been embraced by the American society for more than 70 years. How can we not embrace it?

As the start of the new school year concludes our sweet summer holiday, let’s have a last hurrah before we officially step into fall! Here is how you can make the most of the upcoming Labor Day weekend by vacationing, or should we say staycationing, within the Irving city limits.

Sweet, crispy, and filled with indefinite prophecy, fortune cookies have served as fun farewell treats at Chinese restaurants for more than a century.

The Texas heat could be so unforgiving that we find ourselves getting thirsty more often these days! While water and lemonade could do the trick, we like to have a little fun every once in a while here in Irving, with these delicious cocktails to help us beat the heat!

Contrary to your possible immediate reaction when hearing its name for the first time, Original ChopShop is not a steakhouse. It is actually the home of some delicious “Chops” a.k.a salads as well as protein bowls and juices! The health-conscious eatery opened its first Texas location at 7300 N MacArthur Blvd #140, Irving, TX back in Spring of 2018. And since then, it’s been a local favorite. Let’s see why!

Whether you’re into the full-bodied reds, fruity whites, or sparkling Italian, we could all agree that there’s a subtle warmth that only a glass of wine could offer. It’s elegant, smooth, but also light and fun, and for the love of vino! We will not let this great foodie holiday go to waste. Not in our city! So scroll down, read along. Cheers to that. ;)
