Oak Cliff Barbecue; New Menu at Central 214

OAK CLIFF—Blues, Bandits & BBQ kicks off tomorrow at 5 p.m. just west of the Bishop Arts district on Davis. Expect a beer garden, a barbecue competition smoking up a half-ton of meat, live music, food trucks, a cooking demo from Smoke's Tim Byres, an outdoor screening of Bonnie & Clyde and a beer garden. (Best of all, admission is free.) The festivities continue Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. [Go Oak Cliff]

MOCKINGBIRD—Central 214 is debuting a new menu from chef Graham Dodds tomorrow. Fall additions include rabbit with mascarpone polenta, duck egg yolk and ricotta raviolo and dry-aged duck with quince and lentils. Bartender Amber West is also spicing up the cocktail menu (literally) with autumn-appropriate ingredients like nutmeg, pumpkin and apple. [Eaterwire]
