Lucky’s Hot Chicken recently opened a second location, which is a relief because we can hardly find any hot chicken around here. Steven Monacelli previously wrote about the first location offering: “The tenders and wings plates come piled on top of white bread, which sops up the extra spice blend, a Nashville hot chicken tradition.” When it comes to any food that can employ the verb sops, there’s always room for more.
Postino Wine Cafe opened this weekend next to Merit Cafe. This is the third outpost for this spot (the others are in Arizona and Houston). Each location has an art installation that reflects the neighborhood or history of its area. The Deep Ellum location has an entire wall of vintage concert tickets “gathered from the community and Postino fans across the country.” Back in February, they solicited stubs via their Facebook page in exchange for $5 in Postino Bucks for every 10 tickets.

On walking into Seely s Mill Barbecue, you d be forgiven for thinking you re in the wrong place. First, you re in a hotel, the newly rebranded and remodeled Beeman Hotel on Central Expressway just south SMU Boulevard, formerly known as the Magnolia Park Cities.
Second, there s no actual signage announcing you ve found the restaurant. Have a seat in the bar area, as we did on a recent quiet Sunday afternoon, and the barkeep will quickly appear with menus bearing the Seely s Mill name.
A quick backstory is in order. The Beeman Hotel picked its new name as a nod to John Beeman, an early settler of the Dallas area (Beeman s son-in-law, John Neely Bryan, is generally credited as Dallas founder). Seely s Mill was the name of the mill that Beeman, according to the hotel, built in the area.
