Editor s note: A lot happened this week, so here s your chance to get caught up. Read on for the week s most popular headlines. 1. Master list of every Dallas restaurant and bar that closed in 2020. It s a gloomy CultureMap tradition to do an annual list of restaurant closures although it s usually framed as more as an homage to what came and went. But the 2020 version was more brutal than usual, since so many restaurants and bars closed due to COVID-19. Of all the fields to suffer during the virus, the food and beverage industry suffered the worst. In alphabetical order, here s the list.
Dallas foodie temple Lucia to relocate, sibling restaurant shutters Lucia s cured meats. A high-profile restaurant in Dallas Bishop Arts is closing:
Macellaio, the casual, butcher-driven spot from restaurateurs David and Jennifer Uygur, will close at the end of 2020. But the space, located at 287 N. Bishop Ave., will become the new home to Lucia, their nationally acclaimed Italian restaurant. Lucia will leave its current location at 408 W. 8th St., where it has been for a decade, on December 31. The Uygurs shared the news in a Facebook post, calling the move a new beginning. We ve spent the last nine months trying to figure out how to sustain our three restaurants Lucia, Macellaio, and Salaryman while keeping our staff and guests safe. For us, that has meant keeping our dining rooms closed for dine-in and offering only To Go options.
