Grub Burger Bar Hits Plano; Braindead Brewery Plans To Expand

PLANO – The second DFW outpost of popular chain-in-the-making Grub Burger Bar has officially opened its doors at 8255 Preston Rd. in Plano. Known for its creatively-topped burgers and "cutting edge shakes," Grub Burger Bar will give free burgers to the 150 guests to walk through the door today. [EaterWire]

FORT WORTH – If you can’t wait until the official opening of Heim Barbecue’s brick-and-mortar location, head to Panther Island Brewing Company’s 4th of July celebration. $20 gets you a plate of ‘cue and a front row seat for the fireworks on Monday night. [EaterWire]

DEEP ELLUM – The local craft beer boom continues as Braindead Brewing prepares to expand its Deep Ellum brewing operation. Per CultureMap, Braindead will take over the space next door in order to give its brewmaster a little more space to be creative and – of course – brew more beers. [CultureMap]
