The Elbow Room is Closed; Wine Dinner at Ava

DENTON—Macdaddy's, a Connecticut-based macaroni and cheese bar, is now slinging skillets full of cheesy elbows adorned with everything from hot dogs to lobster to hungry (read: drunk) college kids on Fry Street, just off the UNT campus. (Sometimes Easy Mac just gets old, you know?) [City of Ate]

DEEP ELLUM—The Elbow Room is closed and may or may not reopen this week under new ownership. For now, bar-hoppers will have to find somewhere else to play shuffleboard and eat spaghetti at 1am. (Good luck with that.) [CraveDFW]

ROCKWALL—Haven't been able to score a reservation at tiny Lucia yet? Chef David Uygur is co-hosting a wine dinner at Restaurant Ava with Randall Copeland on Saturday, September 23. Seats are $85 and include six courses with wine pairings. Call (469) 698-9920 to reserve. [Escape Hatch]
