Another Steel City Pops Opens; No More Le Taco?

— Just in time for sub-freezing temps, there's another fancy popsicle shop in town: Popular Lowest Greenville destination Steel City Pops has sprouted a new location in Casa Linda. Seasonal flavors of the moment include cinnamon apple, cranberry orange, and plum rosemary.

— No mas Le Taco? The Oak Lawn bar and restaurant formerly known as Scotch & Sausage is dunzo, according to a report from CraveDFW. A call to the restaurant went unanswered, its OpenTable system has been taken offline, and a PR rep confirmed she was no longer working with the restaurant. (The new Sfuzzi at the Gables Cedar Springs has also thrown in the towel; Yelp confirms that closure.)

— Local taco scholar José R. Ralat helped put together one hell of a taco feature for Texas Monthly. The 120 [Texas] Tacos You Must Eat Before You Die includes several in the Dallas area as well as Fort Worth. Top picks include the taco al pastor a la Tuma from Urban Taco — which has a layer of crispy Manchego cheese nestled inside the tortilla — and the goat consomme-soaked taco ahogado de birria from Los Torres Taqueria in Oak Cliff.

— Speaking of listicles: D Magazine just published its picks for The 9 Best New Restaurants in Dallas 2015. Topping the list is Madrina, with Uchi and Small Brewpub rounding out the top three.
