| | | Why Don't We Know Yet Exactly What Happened When Our Ebola Patient Zero Appeared? by Jim Schutze  The commenters are already whetting their knives on the news that Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price has raised the issue of racism in the treatment of Ebola Patient Zero, Thomas Eric Duncan, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. But maybe we could all acknowledge one tiny element of legitimacy in what the commissioner is talking about: The question of why Duncan was sent home initially instead of isolated is still the most stubborn mystery in the saga of "Ebola Comes to Dallas." more >>
| | | | | | | | Dallas' Bryan Fajardo May Be the World's Best Grindcore Drummer by Andrew Hawkins  Perfectionism, particularly in a musician, is most often viewed as a liability. Rather than focusing on the life-affirming qualities inherent in the struggle for perfection, many attribute negative personal characteristics -- difficult, hardheaded, intractable -- towards those with a desire for self-improvement. But there exists a rare breed that uses this inexhaustible drive for growth in a collaborative, positive way. more >> | | | Taylor Phelan Chases His Musical Destiny on NBC's The Voice Luke Wade isn't the only North Texas contestant on the new season of NBC's The Voice. No, competing alongside him is Taylor Phelan, who hails from Dallas. And the two have more in common than just geography: They've both chosen to work Pharrell Williams on the show. But for Phelan, making it onto the network reality show was a watershed moment as a musician. more >> | | | | | | How Cattleack Barbecue Smokes Its Brisket by Alice Laussade  In "Shigging," we ask pitmasters to give us some specifics about how they smoke their meats. In the spirit of barbecue secretiveness and competitiveness, they're allowed to lie once. This week, we asked Todd David, pitmaster at Cattleack Barbecue, how he smokes his brisket. more >> | | | Herrera's Is Moving to West Dallas Signs of life from Herrera's, the much-loved Tex-Mex chain that left Maple Avenue not long ago, was recently spotted by a tipster in West Dallas on Sylvan Avenue, not far south of the river. I called owner Nora Ontiveros but she didn't answer. Maybe she's busy, you know, resurrecting an entire restaurant. more >> | | | | | | Halloween at the Movies: Finally, Something Scarier than that "Butter" on the Popcorn by Jaime-Paul Falcon  Another October means movie theaters yet again rolling out the orange carpet for their Halloween themed programming, and since we are the foremost experts of Halloweenocity in the area, we pulled all the best screenings together for you. Weirdly enough no one is showing John Carpenter's Halloween this year, which might change as the month draws on. Oh, and despite our pleas from last year no one is showing Teen Witch. Why must you torture us so Dallas media purveyors? more >> | | | Duvall and Downey Jr. Can't Save The Judge God save us from old coots and the actors who play them. Actors, like the rest of us, grow old, and there aren't a whole lot of good roles available to them. But do we really need to see Robert Duvall playing a withered grouch for the millionth time? There's only so much squintin' and grousin' an audience can bear, and in David Dobkin's The Judge — a Midwestern drama in which bits and pieces of John Grisham courtroom showmanship bump up against Alexander Payne-style family angst — Duvall reaches new, exhausting depths of cootery. more >> | | | | | | Top 10 Apps for Dallasites by Emily Mathis  The brand new, sparkling iPhone 6 just rolled out, and in honor of its appearance, we've compiled a list of the top apps your Dallas dwelling just a little bit easier. more >> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coupons >> |
