I remember when I was a junior in college at UNT, and a friend took me to Greenhouse for jazz and snacks at the bar. The lights were low, and there was still smoking allowed at the bar. The food was great, and the jazz was even better. I remember thinking to myself, "How have I lived here this long and never been here before?" The Greenhouse is a Denton institution and is attempting a new revitalization through a new menu. Read on to find out more about their menu revamp and one of our favorite new sandwiches in town.
Read MoreCOMIC: BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS
Bottomless mimosas are both a blessing and a curse - especially if you're the type to not feel alcohol until the moment you stand up. We've had brunches before when that glass (or flute or whatever) just seems to never go empty. Every time you turn around your half full glass become completely full once more. And the mimosas at local fave The Chestnut Tree are even more impressive than that. The abundance of flavors makes for a different glass every refill and ability to serve yourself means that you won't feel ashamed about your mimosa-habit every time the waiter walks by and side-eyes you. Anna Ryan knows what we're talking about. The comic and artist put together this 5-panel comic strip documenting a meal with accompanying mimosas at The Chestnut Tree. She showcases what may be an all-too-familiar scene that may occur if your bottomless mimosa glass gets refilled a few too many times.

Read MoreTENDING BAR: ANDIE STERLING OF HARVEST HOUSE
Harvest House has been open for about four months now and in that span of time it has quickly become one of Denton's most popular bars. But there's a strange Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon happening at this popular bar and venue that speaks to why the place opens at 10am on weekdays. We spoke with Harvest House's Cafe Manager and juicer of many things, Andie Sterling, about the other half of Harvest House that exists Monday through Friday from 10am - 5pm and why it should possibly be your new daytime hangout.

Read MoreNOW OPEN: HICKORY AND FRY
Hickory and Fry serves kangaroo nachos, y'all. And they aren't just some sort of gimmick. These are legitimate, tasty as hell fried wontons with kangaroo and habañero jam on top. We, having never tasted kangaroo before (the closest we came was watching Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome), had our minds blown upon taking a bite of these. The meat is extremely tender - almost creamy and the homemade habañero jam cuts right through it to create one of our new favorite dishes in Denton. And that's just one thing Hickory and Fry has to offer.
