Home Care In Dallas, TX

In Dallas, brunch is a contact sport that ends in clinking glasses and the finest preparation of eggs, pancakes, and pastries. This is why it’s essential to know exactly where to find French toast worth going to the mats for, crispy bacon worth waiting for, and the strongest mimosas one can find to block out the memory of how long it took to get a table.

This city is littered with excellent brunch options, but these options are worth putting on the bucket list.

One of the Metroplex’s best bakeries adds brunch to its menu. Stop in for a ham and cheese quiche, a Benedict with mojo pork and chimichurri sauce, or chilaquilies — to name a few of the new items.

A little bit of Tex-Mex for brunch never hurt anyone. This spot has a weekend brunch that’s over the top, including a stunning french toast topped with chocolate coffee pecan liquor chocolate mousse. And the margs are pretty damn good too.

That’s right, North Dallas has a solid brunch spot with this bar and grill. Who could resist ordering a sticky bun skillet or a monte cristo? It also has a seafood omelette and crab cakes worth trying, as well as jalapeno cheese grits.

This West Dallas Mediterranean spot from Lynae Fearing and Tracy Rathbun’s Far Hospitality added a brunch service worth trying. Order up the peppered bacon and truffled soft scrambled egg flatbread. Or go for the decadent lemon ricotta french toast with vanilla maple syrup and a sweet and tart Italian berry jelly. It’s available only on Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.

There aren’t many brunch options in East Dallas, so this new neighborhood bistro adding one is hugely welcome. Drop in for eggs in purgatory, a croque-madame, or a Lakewood Latke served with eggs and bacon.

This Uptown French bistro does brunch better than most places. Order a house made sticky pecan bun for the table, and then consider the hanger steak and eggs. For something more savory, the baked egg and piperade (eggs in a sea of tomatoes and red peppers) is un grand succès.

If Georgie is down in the books as a dinner only place, great news: its doing brunch as well, and doing it well. The menu takes the ideas of classic brunch items and spins them back on their heels. For example, the chicken and waffles is made with roast chicken, sourdough waffles, whipped honey butter, and the in-house hot sauce. There’s a vegan chorizo taco and a few salad options for the meat-free. And and array of spritzes to broaden the palette from the land of mimosas.

If you were already seeking out great mimosas, cut out the middle man and head to this Champagne bar for its new brunch service on Sundays from noon until 4 p.m. Pair that brunch cocktail with vegetable strata, a breakfast pie gratin, or decadent Bananas Foster french toast.

Brunch doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be good. This spot does big dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. If a big, classic breakfast meal scratches the brunch itch — think chicken with biscuits and gravy, a classic egg plate with all the fixings, or breakfast tacos, head here. And try the Red Stella, a mix of Bloody Marys and Stella Artois.

Have brunch and chase it with a keg of wine, too. Sixty Vines offers a top notch dutch baby, almond chiffon french toast, and avocado eggs Benedict, plus pastas, mix and match boards, pizzas, and shared plates (that’s where you can get your Brussels sprouts in).

For a brunch like no other in Dallas, head to Crown Block. It offers an all-inclusive option served half in buffet style, with stations for bagels and baked goods, carved meats, a fish bar, desserts, cereal, a Bloody Mary bar, and coffees. The main dish is ordered from a menu of duck hash, wagyu croquetta Benedict, masa pancakes, and more. It costs $80 per person and more with add-ons, and the stations are open for multiple servings. Service is only on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

One of the most beloved brunch spots in town is back, as is its classic deviled egg avocado toast and corned beef hash. And, in a cool move, it is creating a zero-waste cocktail program and offering sustainable wines — that means weekend brunch is good for the environment. You practically have to go.

While this Bishop Arts doesn’t differentiate its menu for brunch per se, but by day and night meals, diners can get brunch-ish food most days. The monte cristo and duck bacon sandwiches are great brunch-adjacent options, or just full commit with the bread pudding French toast.

Where are the cool kids brunching? This is it. Pop in for brisket hash, huevos rancheros, or the stuffed chicken and blueberry waffle sandwich — and more on a menu created by Taco Y Vino head honcho Jimmy Contreras. Naturally, there are cocktails, and we’d go for the Disco Bubbles, which is Cava with a selection of juices for the table.

It's a back-to-back winter blast threatening to keep some North Texans stuck home again and others working around the clock to keep those who must be out safe.

It may be cold in North Texas, but Peyton Matlock wasn’t about to miss another weekend selling Girl Scout cookies.

Despite below-freezing temperatures Saturday, Matlock set up shop with her sister outside of Son of a Butcher along Lower Greenville in Dallas.

“Me and my sister take shifts, I would say, and then we each take breaks for a little bit. We have a weather pod that we can use,” said Matlock.

For her, the promise of selling enough to win an international trip far outweighs the day’s discomfort. For her customers, perhaps it was the chance to shake cabin fever.

“There’s been a lot of foot traffic. Everyone’s pretty much got coats and beanies and everything,” she said.

For the second week in a row, DFW is gearing up for winter weather.

Just days after they were last treated, TxDOT began laying brine along US Highway 75 in Collin County and Interstate 35E/Interstate 35W in Denton County.

Across Dallas, it said residual brine in other areas of the metro would help crews at the onset of possible winter weather, adding they would be on standby. Pretreatment is set to begin in Fort Worth on Sunday.

NTTA said its crews would move to 12-hour shifts Sunday ahead of possible freezing rain.

In Tarrant County, MedStar paramedics are preparing for round two.

“Making sure that they’re response ready, their ambulances are warm and they’re bundled up and safe from the elements themselves,” said Transformation Manager Desiree Partain.

Partain said the agency treated dozens of patients this past week for hypothermia and five for carbon monoxide-related illness.

They’ll again implement extreme weather protocol, using lights and sirens on ice only when it feels less than 20 degrees.

“What we’ve learned about this weather, it’s this balancing act between making sure that we get to our patients and the community promptly but making sure that we get there safely,” she said.

Overnight in Dallas, an inclement weather shelter at Fair Park was one of two facilities open again to get nearly 1,000 people out of the cold.

Our Calling CEO Wayne Walker said the forecasted conditions for Sunday night won’t trigger the protocol necessary to stay open. Still, he said back-to-back events are a challenge.

“You know, there’s only so much budget that the city will reimburse,” said Walker. “As we look towards maybe another inclement weather event happening, usually February’s the coldest month here in Dallas, we just have to trust that the community’s going to show up.”

Walker said while Our Calling needs support for the work it does year-round, winter provides unique challenges. In addition to financial donations and volunteers, it’s currently seeking donations of sweatshirts and sweatpants, blankets and shoes.

Dallas-Fort Worth has endured wild swings in the weather in January — from frigid temperatures, a dusting of snow then a warming trend and a bit of rain. But winter may not be done with us yet. An unpredictable polar vortex may still have a say in how miserable our winter can become.

As swaths of the U.S. Midwest and Northeast had to dig out from massive snowstorms, North Texas felt the sting of Arctic blasts that chilled the region down to the low teens for a few days. The cold air sucked up condensation from warmer area lake waters resulting in a thin dusting of snow across Dallas-Fort Worth — a phenomenon called “lake effect snow” normally associated with areas along the Great Lakes.

Thirty states were included in alerts for dangerously low temperatures and wind chills in the past week with readings dropping to minus-16 in Kansas City, 1 degree in Oklahoma City, minus-10 in Chicago and minus-27 in Bismarck, N.D. Snow coverreached its greatest mid-January extent over the contiguous United States in the last 20 years.

The disruption of the polar vortex early in January is partly to blame for the cold spell we experienced.

“A disrupted polar vortex increases the odds that the tropospheric jet stream will stay shifted farther south, which increases the risk for cold air outbreaks,” according to the Polar Vortex Blog by Laura Ciasto and Amy Butler on the website Climate.gov.

The polar vortex is extensive coverage of low pressure and cold air surrounding Earth’s poles. When the vortex is strong and stable, the polar jet stream shifts northward, keeping the cold air in the Arctic. But when the vortex weakens or is disrupted, the jet stream often becomes extremely wavy, allowing warm air to flood into the Arctic and polar air to sink down into the mid-latitudes.

We’ve seen this phenomenon in action. The polar vortex played a role in the extreme winter weather outbreak that struck Texas in February 2021, UN weather experts said.

“We did have a sudden stratospheric warming in January,” explained Butler, a NOAA stratosphere expert. “The polar vortex weakened. It got stretched out of shape and slid southward off the pole. Most of the time when this happens — and it happens on average about every other year in the Arctic — some part of the mid-latitudes will ultimately experience a cold air outbreak. The disruption of the vortex encouraged the polar jet stream to become wavier for several weeks, and in combination with other weather patterns, created favorable conditions for a severe cold air outbreak in the central U.S.”

It does seem like we are seeing the effects of the polar vortex more regularly. The last time Texas was in the grip of the weather event was in December 2022.

Global warming has increased the number of polar vortex outbreaks, a study found. While they used to only happen once every other year or so, the research shows they are now close to happening yearly, if not more, said study lead author Judah Cohen, a winter storm expert for Atmospheric Environmental Research. The number of times the polar vortex has weakened per year has more than doubled since the early 1980s.

And lately, the polar vortex has been acting erratic, climate experts say.

“If we had to characterize the behavior of the stratospheric polar vortex over the last week, we’d say it’s acting … squirrely,” according to the Polar Vortex Blog. “Living up to the celebrity status we bestowed upon it, the stratosphere seems to know everyone is watching and has decided to do something unexpected.”

This could mean more winter snow and ice for Texas as the jet stream is pushed farther south than normal.

“This ‘loading of the dice’ for cold air can persist for up to 6 weeks after the vortex is disrupted, making these events relevant for weather timescales, but also for longer sub-seasonal forecasts,” Climate.gov says.

Jan. 18, 2024 ? DENTON ? Texas Woman’s University has named longtime nonprofit executive and community relations veteran Monica Christopher as the inaugural president of the university’s Dallas campus. She begins her role on Feb. 1.

Christopher, who has held key fundraising and relationship building posts spanning 25 years at Communities Foundation of Texas and The Dallas Morning News/WFAA, will lead the Dallas campus as it works to elevate the impact of the campus in the Dallas community.

“Monica is an exceptional innovator and collaborator with a solid track record of successful fundraising and relationship building in Dallas, which will serve Texas Woman’s well in its quest to grow the Dallas campus,” Texas Woman’s Chancellor Carine Feyten said.

“Her Dallas roots run deep, and she has an extensive background working with boards, foundations, nonprofits and corporations. With her leadership at Texas Woman’s ? Dallas and her partnership with other university and college leaders, I can see Dallas developing into even more of a destination city for those seeking higher education credentials,” Feyten added. “Monica demonstrates great passion for her work and exudes a polished, energetic professionalism.”

As president, Christopher will provide strategic leadership for the campus, which is located in the Southwestern Medical District. She will work with students, faculty, staff and key stakeholders — including alumni, community members, business and industry leaders, legislators and policymakers — to ensure Texas Woman’s is a key contributor to the higher education landscape in Dallas.

“Texas Woman’s has a distinguished history in Dallas, and I am honored and beyond thrilled to serve as the inaugural president of the Dallas campus,” Christopher said. “I look forward to working with the university’s talented faculty, staff and students to grow the campus, build on its legacy of excellence and bring greater awareness to the outstanding degree programs offered here.”

The State of Texas established Texas Woman’s University System in 2021 as its seventh university system, pushing its Dallas and Houston campuses to transform, grow and continue serving the state and its communities as the nation’s only system with a woman-focused mission. Among the system’s strategic priorities is installing leadership at both campuses. A search is currently underway for a Houston campus president.
