Some of the best wings in DFW can be found at this Bishop Arts restaurant. The Korean fusion style produces simply delicious wings dusted with a special seasoning — get them in packs of four, six, 10, or 20. Good for taking home or eating in the low-key, fast-casual dining room.

A favorite for Deep Ellum revelers, the wings at Angry Dog have a devoted loyal following. Typical buffalo and lemon pepper options are on offer, along with a super-hot version that only serious pepper junkies should consume.

This Victory Park sports bar is all about the wings — that’s where it takes its name from. The menu offers bone-in or boneless options and a huge array of sauces. Seriously, there are like 16 sauce options that cross cuisines (heavy on Asian, Southern, and what could loosely be termed “American”) and range from one to five flames. The peanut butter and jelly sauce, along with cholula lime tajin and spicy garlic, are intriguing. The nuclear bird is for those looking to inflict pain on themselves.

This retro-diner space has wings in a variety of sizes — get ‘em boneless or bone-in. And the wings are available in lemmon pepper, Jamaican jerk, ranch, or any Lucky’s heat level rubs and come with blue cheese, barbecue, or honey mustard dipping sauces or sauced with Buffalo, hot honey, teriyaki, mango habanero, garlic Parmesan, Korean barbecue, or sweet barbecue. Talk about having it your way.

The standard wing offerings can be found here, and they’re not all scary-spice like the name might suggest. But can we point you to the foldi...zzz, which have boneless chicken wings marinated in “secret Reaper sauce” and then placed in flatbread with lettuce and tomatoes with some garlic aioli. It’s a whole new way to eat chicken wings — as a chicken sandwich.

Grab a tray of smoked wings at Aaron Franklin and Tyson Cole’s spot in East Dallas. The smoking means these will taste a bit different from the largely fried and barbecued wings elsewhere on this list. The dish comes topped with thick dollops of hot sauce and a miso blue cheese to cool things down.

Dive bar lovers across the internet rave about the wings at this Lakewood dive bar. It’s just Vietnamese-style fried chicken wings that will hit the spot and the menu is updated weekly, so what’s on offer any given week is worth a look.

The wings on this menu have some flare — they’re biryani spiced (usually a combination of cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon) and served with a citrus ranch. It’s more eat-in than take-out, but there are plenty of TVs around in this cute spot to catch the game. Whatever game.

For folks who are really into wings, this East Dallas mainstay offers a lot of different takes. Notably, you can get one wing in an “I Told You So” sauce made with Carolina reaper, scorpion, and ghost peppers. It comes with a no-refunds warning. Traditionalists, stick to the battered wings.

This SMU bar serves up classic bar food, and of course, that includes wings. Ask for sauce medium, hot, or barbecue and add on Frank’s Red Hot and butter to make ‘em extra delish.

This Austin-born chain is a go-to for wing lovers. The vibe is sports bar and pairing the wings with a beer is the move. There are loads of sauces to make it a never-ending quest to try them all — including maple chipotle, vampire killer, and a fire in the hole Buffalo sauce.

Meteorologists are calling for “measurable” snow to begin falling late Wednesday night in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The rain-snow mix is expected to last into Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. A forecast Monday afternoon showed some areas of North Texas getting between 2 and 5 inches of snow with isolated areas further west possibly getting up to 8 inches of accumulation during the winter storm.

Exact amounts of accumulation were still uncertain as of Monday afternoon because how much precipitation accumulates is largely dependent on if the temperatures vary a few degrees. The weather service is predicting the heaviest precipitation to happen during the daytime Thursday.

A weather service advisory late Monday afternoon said the meteorologists’ confidence that this week’s storm will be “an impactful winter weather event” is continuing to grow.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to activate state emergency response resources ahead of the severe winter weather event.

“The State of Texas is working around-the-clock to ensure Texans have the resources and support needed as severe winter weather impacts communities across Texas,” Abbott said in a news release. “As temperatures begin to drop below freezing and regions of Texas face snow, ice, and freezing rain, it is crucial that everyone remain weather-aware.”

Abbott proceeded to urge Texans to check DriveTexas.org before traveling and follow the instructions given by state and local officials.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the electrical grid operator for most of the state, issued a weather watch Sunday evening ahead of an arctic air blast that brought freezing temperatures and bitterly cold weather conditions this week to a wide swath of the state.

The watch, scheduled to last through Friday, was issued “due to forecasted cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves.”

Grid conditions, however, are expected to be normal during the weather watch period, ERCOT said in the advisory. The watch does not indicate the state will see any widespread outages or that ERCOT will call for energy conservation, but it does signal a higher than expected demand on Texas’ power infrastructure.

Oncor, which owns and operates power lines throughout North Texas, said it has spent months preparing for the winter season, including inspecting equipment.

The arctic air mass that sent temperatures plunging Sunday in North and Central Texas has settled and is expected to cause the coldest conditions of the season so far to linger for several days. Highs are expected to be in the mid- to upper 30s in Dallas-Fort Worth with lows in the 20s.

Wind chills could cause temperatures early in the day or late at night to feel like they are between 10 and 15 degrees, or even the single digits closer to the River River, according to the weather service.

Dallas’ public libraries and recreation centers will be open during posted business hours, and the city opened Fair Park’s Grand Place building at 3701 Grand Ave. as a temporary overnight shelter that’s capable of housing more than 900 people. Other shelters are also operating across North Texas.

The weather service encouraged people to spend the next few days ahead of the wintry precipitation to prepare themselves and their homes, cars and other belongings.

Meteorologists warned that travel could be hazardous on Thursday and Friday, especially on untreated roads. The Texas Department of Transportation’s Dallas District began emergency operations Monday, prompting crews to work 12-hour shifts to treat the roads throughout the winter event.

“Consider altering any late week travel plans, and keep up with the forecast,” the weather serviced advisory said.

These advisories could affect fans traveling to Arlington to watch Texas take on Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on Friday.

The DART rail lines were already being affected by the chilly temperatures Monday morning as the agency reported operating with 30-minute delays.

“Due to cold weather challenges, the possibility for delays may continue throughout the day,” the agency said in a post on X. “We encourage riders to allow extra travel time to make connections. Our apologies and thank you for your patience.”

Beyond Texas

A massive swath of the United States was blasted with snow, ice and wind on Monday from a polar vortex that dipped south over the weekend and caused much of the country east of the Rockies to be frigidly cold. The winter weather created treacherous roads, forced school and business closures, caused widespread power outages and affected flights and railway operations.

Beginning Monday, the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. experienced bone-chilling cold with temperatures possibly dropping between 12 and 25 degrees below normal, according to weather forecasters.

North America’s electric regulatory authority, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, called every entity in the electricity supply chain, including natural gas producers and pipelines, to take precautionary measures to ensure electricity service is uninterrupted.

The winter weather caused havoc for some airline passengers.

According to FlightAware.com Monday evening, 14% of Southwest Airlines’ flights, 518, had been canceled and 1,088 of the Dallas-based carrier’s flights, 29%, were delayed. The website reported that American canceled 7% of its flights, 240 of trips, and the Fort Worth-based carrier had 1,150 flights that were delayed, 34% of its flight schedule, FlightAware reported.

In Dallas, brunch is a contact sport that ends in clinking glasses and the finest preparation of eggs, pancakes, and pastries. This is why it’s essential to know exactly where to find French toast worth going to the mats for, crispy bacon worth waiting for, and the strongest mimosas one can find to block out the memory of how long it took to get a table.

This city is littered with excellent brunch options, but these options are worth putting on the bucket list.

Our Best New Restaurant winner in the 2022 Eater Awards has finally, finally added brunch to its line-up. Reservations are available from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m on Saturdays and Sundays. Expect more of the seasonal fare it serves for dinner, with a brunchy twist.

This James Beard-recognized Cajun and Creole restaurant serves a mean brunch Friday through Sunday. Start with fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly or a basket of house-made bread. Mammaw’s fried chicken and waffle has been on the menu since it opened and is a solid choice, as are the Gulf shrimp creole and stone ground grits.

Some days an Irish breakfast will cure what ails you. Eggs, sausage, hash, toast, bacon — basically everything they can think to put on the plate. Pair it with a Guinness instead of a mimosa and bam — Irish brunch. Or go hardcore and dive in on a Scotch egg. Why not.

If you’re ready to go completely out of the ordinary for brunch, Mirador’s modern tea service is the place to be. It features three courses (plus a scone starter), three tea pairings, and a glass of Champagne in addition to multiple pairings to punch it up. It’s gorgeous inside and great for groups of friends.

Craving beignets and coffee for brunch? This Deep Ellum spot has it covered. Its a storefront and not a sit-down, so you’ll have to do like they do in New Orleans and take it to go, eating while you walk around the neighborhood.

This steakhouse on Gaston Ave. has added a jazz brunch to its Sunday offerings, along with a load of brunch dishes.

This is frequently a great spot for drag brunch, but with or without it on can find excellent fried chicken take on eggs Benedict, Mediterranean frittata, buttermilk pancakes, and more. Of course there’s a Champagne tower.

Into brunch but prefer to keep it simple? Here’s the place for you. Brunch options are breakfast tacos with bacon, sausage, or potato and a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese, a hash brown, and jalapeño mayo. That’s it, that’s the whole deal. The regular menu is also available, as are all the drinks. KISS.

A seafood forward brunch can look like a luscious lobster roll, a plate of shrimp and grits, an order of fish tacos — and should certainly include a dozen oysters. Get all of that and more at Green Point, in one of the city’s most comforting and stylish bistros.

This Uptown French bistro does brunch better than most places. Order a house made sticky pecan bun for the table, and then consider the hanger steak and eggs. For something more savory, the baked egg and piperade (eggs in a sea of tomatoes and red peppers) is un grand succès.

Every coffee shop should do brunch as well as Halcyon. Head here for the Elvis French toast with peanut butter, chocolate, bacon, and caramelized bananas; a crazy good vegan Benedict with tofu; or a breakfast burrito that will satisfy any hunger pains.

This great Indian food restaurant is now offering a Sunday brunch buffet. Stop by to try tamatar dhaniya shorbha (close to a tomato soup), paneer shashlik tikka, fish amritsari, Delhi butter chicken, and railway goat curry — along with numerous vegetarian options.

It’s a flat price of $49.99 and $24.99 for kids from ages five to 12 — complimentary for the under five-year-olds.

Sure there are loads of breakfast tacos available on the brunch menu here, but one can also order the avocado tostada, Nutella-filled churro donut holes, and breakfast nachos. For more indulgent takes on brunch classics, try the banana bacon pancakes or birria stacked enchiladas. During brunch, mimosas run a cool $4 each.
