Carrollton, Texas—Escaping the dry heat of the Texas fall, we plunge into the dimly lit restaurant. Immediately we are taken aback by the smell; delicious sauces, seasonings, and steaks meet us at the door.

So one thing that y'all may know about me from my Roundup reviews and my Instagram (@Matthews_Meals) is that I enjoy food. I have decided that if the whole "college" thing does not work out, I am going to go to the food network and become the next Guy Fieri, and y'all would be able to say that you...

Originally a Scottish dish, fried chicken has pervaded this nation's culture from the ground up. In the early 19th century, Southern farmers introduced the delicacy to the population as a replacement to the boring broiled norm. Infusing their culture's...
Recently, in a group chat, the subject of best fast food was brought up. While opinions differed on that front, eventually comparisons between Chick-Fil-A, a beloved Jesuit snack, and Raising Canes were brought up. As a connoisseur of both establishments, I didn't really see how any discussion was needed. But, as the argument extended, it was made clear that...
Are you ever hungry but too lazy to actually cook anything tasty? Well now, do I have some delicious food choices for you. After football games, soccer games, or basically after any Jesuit event, there are many enticingly greasy options around the Dallas area you and your friends can go eat at, but where do we go? We've all...
