Fireside Pies in Grapevine closes after dinner on Saturday. The Grapevine location was the last remaining restaurant in this series of pizza shops that had expanded over 20 years from Dallas’ Henderson Avenue to many parts of North Texas, including Plano, Fort Worth and Grapevine. Owner Golden Tree Restaurants, which also operates Golden Chick, Jalapeno Tree and Texadelphia restaurants, said Fireside Pies never recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Attorney General Ken Paxton followed through on a promise to sue Dallas and the State Fair of Texas over the fair’s plans to ban most people from bringing firearms to the annual event. The lawsuit filed Thursday in Dallas County District Court argues the city, fair and interim City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert are violating state law and the Constitution by allowing the fair to change its rules to only grant elected, appointed or employed peace officers the ability to carry firearms into South Dallas’ Fair Park. The fair previously allowed attendees with a valid handgun license to bring a gun as long as it was concealed, but state law doesn’t require Texans to have a permit to carry a firearm in a public place.

On Monday, Bill Bernal, president of Transport Workers Union 556, which represents Southwest’s flight attendants, published a statement stating the union and others were contacted for a meeting regarding Elliott, the activist hedge fund, but was asked to sign an NDA that included “terms and conditions severely limiting [the union’s] ability to maintain an open and transparent communication” with members.

La Rue Doughnuts, a pastry shop from Rowlett chefs Amy and Casey La Rue, opens Aug. 29, 2024, in Dallas’ Trinity Groves. Here, customers will find a coffee bar and up to 14 varieties of cake doughnuts, crullers, kolaches and the like. The husband-wife team previously owned Carte Blanche, the now-closed Greenville Avenue shop that served pastries in the mornings and fine-dining food in the evenings. That business has been split into two, which offers more focus: Amy La Rue makes pastries at La Rue Doughnuts, with help from her husband. Someday, Casey hopes to open a separate fine-dining restaurant. [A lease has not been signed yet.] By Sarah Blaskovich #DFWFood #GreenvilleAvenue #TrinityGroves
