Good morning, Dev Test County. Even Dallas's most celebrated culinary masters have secret food obsessions that might surprise you. From the James Beard-nominated chef who hoards Slim Jims to the French culinary director who can't resist Hi-Chew candies, these confessions prove that behind every sophisticated palate lurks a craving for something decidedly ordinary. It seems the white-coated wizards creating your $200 tasting menus might be sneaking Sonic milkshakes on their way home.
In less appetizing news, a Houston volleyball coach created quite the spectacle by driving his SUV through Dallas on just three wheels, leaving a trail of sparks and concerned firefighters in his wake. Meanwhile, tensions are flaring in a tornado-ravaged neighborhood where a developer's proposal for 60 townhomes has residents pushing back against what they see as an unwelcome transformation of their recovering community. The contentious town hall meeting reflects the growing pains of a city balancing housing needs with neighborhood preservation.

🍔 Even top Dallas chefs have embarrassing food obsessions. From Slim Jims to Sonic milkshakes, these culinary professionals indulge in surprisingly ordinary treats when they're off duty. Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman loves Slim Jims, while French chef Christophe De Lellis can't resist Hi-Chew candies. Others confess to sneaking chocolate chips from restaurant pantries, creating unusual ice cream combinations like chili cheese Fritos on Blue Bell, or simply enjoying classic bologna on Saltines with mayo. These guilty pleasures reveal that despite their gourmet expertise, chefs are just like us when it comes to comfort food.
🚗 Volleyball coach drives SUV on three wheels in bizarre DWI arrest. The 57-year-old Houston-area coach was spotted by Dallas firefighters creating sparks and fire hazards as he drove without a front left wheel. James Williamson, in town for a national volleyball tournament, admitted to consuming "four to five beers" before the low-speed chase ended in a traffic stop. Officers reported he showed clear signs of intoxication, failing sobriety tests and nearly falling over twice. When questioned about the incident, Williamson simply stated, "I hit a curb and I screwed up."
🌪️ Developer's plan stirs up tornado-ravaged Dallas neighborhood. Nearly six years after a tornado destroyed Primera Iglesia Bautista Mexicana de Dallas, developer Centurion American wants to build 60 townhomes on the church's former property. At a contentious town hall meeting, over 100 residents voiced concerns about privacy, traffic, and property values, with many expressing outright hostility toward the proposal. The developer suggested apartments as an alternative if townhomes were rejected, further inflaming tensions. City Council member Gay Donnell Willis noted the increasingly disrespectful tone at zoning meetings, reflecting broader challenges as Dallas grapples with housing needs.
