Dallas’ Milkshake Concepts (STIRR, Saaya) opens Grand Prairie’s first food hall.

Opening on August 2, Serious Eats is a new food hall from Dallas restaurant group, Milkshake Concepts. It’ll open at Grand Prairie’s EpicCentral — a new entertainment complex in North Texas that currently includes two of the brand’s concepts, Vidorra and The Finch. One of their more casual concepts, Serious Pizza, inspired the new food hall. The menu features sliders, pizza, and over-the-top milkshakes.

Guests will be able to customize their order at a digital kiosk, but there are seven specialty shakes including several boozy options for adults. The Vincent Vega has vanilla ice cream, caramel, and bourbon. Regina George is a strawberry shake with a splash of vanilla and a shot of rum. And the Gene Wilder features chocolate and hazelnut liqueur. Specialty food also includes a Tex-Mex slider, Hot Diggity Dog, and pesto pizza slice.

 

Hattie B’s Dallas Restaurant News

A famed Nashville-based fried chicken spot is leaving Deep Ellum.

In 2022, Hattie B’s debuted its first Texas outpost in Dallas’ Deep Ellum. On August 2, the restaurant will move to the former Lucky’s Hot Chicken space in Oak Lawn. The spot arrived from Nashville when the hot chicken craze was really heating up in Dallas. Like Lucky’s on Lemmon Avenue (and its location on Forest), three DFW outposts of Hot Chicks Chicken have shuttered in the past couple of years — leading us to believe the hot streak is sizzling out. Or perhaps it’s just a bad luck streak for Deep Ellum? A newish Mexican bar and restaurant, Federales, also closed suddenly earlier this month. However, Hattie B’s did have a competing hot chicken spot in the neighborhood — Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. We shall see how the new Oak Lawn location plays out.
