Oishii Pop-Up at Zen; An Absurdly Large Smoker in Frisco

DEEP ELLUM—Chef Thanh Nguyen of Oishii may be temporarily displaced from his restaurant due to a fire, but that isn't stopping him. He's cooking a "very extreme" pop-up dinner at Zen Baking Company tonight and Saturday night from 6 to 10 p.m. Email Zen at chonnie@zenbistrodallas.com to reserve a spot. [SideDish]

FRISCO—Barbecue and NASCAR unite this Saturday at 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House; from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. they'll showcase the "ULTIMATE Smoker & Grill" (which is pulled by a semi truck, if that gives you an idea) and give out free food. Oh, and there will be an official NASCAR race car on hand, if you're into that. [Eaterwire]
