August marks the 52nd anniversary of our client NorthPark Center. We congratulate NorthPark on its continued success and for its role in the history of Dallas — as a cultural destination, an architectural landmark, a patron of the arts and a world-class shopping experience. Check out this video to learn some fun facts about its opening in 1965.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — the sweets, the shopping, the festivities. And for us, the Banowetz holiday dinner. Each December, we wrap up our year with a celebratory evening of great food, just a few cocktails and lots of laughter. This year was no exception. Team Banowetz and all of our significant “plus ones” shared a fabulous meal at Tillman’s Roadhouse in Bishop Arts — a chic little spot with an interior designed by well-known party planner, Todd Fiscus. We took over the private dining room (an absolutely lovely space) and kicked off our holidays in style. Thanks to our fearless leader, Leon, for a wonderful evening!

Whoo hooooo! It’s Texas State Fair time again! And that of course means Banowetz + Co. Fair Day. Once again, we did it up right with way too much food, a cold beer — or two — and a handful of rides (because nothing goes better with rich, greasy food and alcohol than being tossed upside down a few dozen times). We also made a concerted effort to sample all the 2014 Big Tex Choice Award finalists, and although we had an ambitious plan, we only managed to put a small dent in the list due to being distracted by other food items. But in the end, no one went home hungry. On the contrary, I don’t think any of us ate again until noon the next day, due to the massive culinary intake! Here’s a summary of our day in fair fare and what we thought of it (we’re a tough crowd) and a few fun pics of the day’s events:
