LAKE HIGHLANDS—There's a new Dave & Buster's open near Walnut Hill & 75 (just down the street from the old location it replaces) and it's a behemoth. Besides the usual video games and skeeball, there's also a sports bar area featuring ridiculously large 130-inch TVs. [DMN]
BLOGLAND—Blog Man Up Texas BBQ is polling readers about the top three barbecue spots in DFW, and the results have been... interesting.

To conclude Hangover Power Hour, we present you with a brief list of some of the city's finest hangover foods. Water and Advil is great the morning after, but you simply won't feel human until you get some food in you. From gut-busting breakfast burritos to steaming bowls of soup, greasy and/or spicy is usually the way to go to cure what ails you.
Hangover Power Hour
Barman J.W. Tate of Tate's has an all-too-practical hangover treatment: "I'd say my go to hangover cure is a 12 hour bar shift, nothing like throngs of thirsty folks and some heavy lifting to take your mind off the headache. That being said, a shot of Fernet never hurts."
John Tesar Hasn't Had a Hangover Since 1969
The ever-opinionated John Tesar of Spoon Bar & Kitchen and Top Chef fame doesn't believe in hangovers: "Hangovers?! I haven't had a hangover since 1969! (laughs) What kind of chef has a hangover? Really, I'm serious. If you're gonna drink you have to be a man—and not in a chauvinistic way, but you have to be a man and be responsible. I don't know what responsible is to others, but hangovers, I don't have hangovers. I have a job."

Hangover Power Hour
Private Social bar manager Rocco Milano on hangovers: "When I was living in California, no matter how drunk I was I would set up before I went to sleep the following: 1 tall glass of water, 2 Advil, and a freshly packed bowl (it was legal, I was a patient...). Here in Texas it's a lot less interesting. I usually go for a bagel with cream cheese and jelly."
Hangover Power Hour
Chef David Anthony Temple aka Chef DAT of pop-up restaurant fame shares his shameless hangover cure: "Sex and mimosas seems to do the trick and then breakfast at Smoke. 70 percent of the time, it works every time." [EaterWire]
