Good morning, Dev Test County. Dallas is cementing its reputation as "Y'all Street" with Goldman Sachs executive Aasem Khalil's expanded role overseeing all middle-market banking operations globally while maintaining his Dallas leadership position. This promotion highlights our region's growing importance as a financial powerhouse, further evidenced by Goldman's ongoing development of a $500 million campus in the area.
The local culinary scene is equally ambitious with Avra Estiatorio bringing its celebrated Mediterranean flavors to The Crescent this fall, featuring fresh seafood flown daily from Greece in a stunning 14,000-square-foot space. Meanwhile, a sizzling trend is sweeping through town as smash burgers dominate local menus. These thin, crispy patties – a technique dating back to the 1950s but recently popularized – are showcasing unique variations at spots like Burger Schmurger and Picadera, which offers a Dominican twist with plantains and avocado.

🍽️ Mediterranean culinary gem Avra Estiatorio is sailing into Dallas this fall. The celebrated Greek restaurant will open its first Texas location at The Crescent in Uptown, bringing authentic Mediterranean cuisine to the heart of the city. Spanning nearly 14,000 square feet, the restaurant will feature daily seafood flown in from Greece, signature dishes like Avra Chips, and an impressive ice display where guests can select their catch. Designed by the Rockwell Group, the space will include a vibrant central bar, private dining areas, and a lush glass-enclosed Conservatory. The beverage program will showcase Greek wines alongside an extensive spirits selection and Mediterranean-inspired cocktails.
🍔 Smash burgers are sizzling across Dallas with crispy, flavorful appeal. The trend features thin patties smashed flat for maximum caramelization, typically topped with American cheese, grilled onions, and pickles. Eight notable Dallas spots serving standout versions include Burger Schmurger, Dos Huevos, and Picadera, which offers a Dominican twist with plantains and avocado. While the craze gained popularity through Midwest pop-ups around 2017, the technique actually dates back to the 1950s when a Kentucky cook discovered smashing patties enhanced their flavor.
