Sissy's Lives Life of Champagne Wishes and Fried Chicken Dreams; Bacon + Maple + Beer = Lifelong Regret

KNOX-HENDERSON -- Nancy Nichols says Sissy's Southern Kitchen and Bar's "fried-chicken-and-Champagne sensibility ... is perfect for Dallas." [SideDish]

GRAPEVINE -- Napoli's Intalian Cafe has expanded with a new next-door sweetery. The restaurant is "roomier" and Teresa Gubbins says you can make a meal of the "impeccable" sweets. [Star-Telegram]

PLANO -- Whitney Filloon stumbles across Rogue Brewery's Bacon Maple Ale at Plano craft beer emporium, Kegs & Barrels. The result: "Imagine passing out by a campfire that hot dogs are being cooked over, your mouth agape as you drunkenly snore away; when you wake up, this is what your mouth would taste like. Smoke and greasy meat and bad choices." Been. There. [City of Ate]
