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.

It's an age old story... two friends meet in the sandbox, dream big, grow up and accomplish their goals. Well, kind of. Chefs Cristal Barnard and Cassie Ballard met at the Art Institute of Dallas and became fast friends with big dreams. They both moved off and accomplished great things in the culinary world under some pretty impressive world famous chefs in some pretty infamous restaurants. After some time away they finally brought their talents and experience right back here to Denton. Thank goodness for that. These two whip up culinary delights ensuring only the freshest ingredients. You won't even find a jar of Smuckers in their kitchen. Everything, from the top to the bottom, is made fresh by-hand in-house.

LOOKING BACK: LAST YEAR'S PREDICTIONS FOR 2014
Before we make any predictions for 2015, we figured we'd take a moment and look back at the predictions we made early last January for 2014. In hindsight, it's probably a good thing we weren't betting money on a lot of these things. Our predictions were correct more than 50% of the time, though, so we have that going for us. Below you'll find our ten predictions from last year, followed by an update on what actually happened during the year 2014, let's get to it...

WE DENTON DO IT EATS LUCKY STAR PIE
A few weeks ago was another one of those fake holidays that doesn’t really mean anything. Sure, maybe you like to wait in line at IHOP for free food on National Pancake Day, or maybe you enjoy getting excited about National Donut Day only to forget about it when the time comes around. Normally, we let them pass without much fanfare. National Pie Day, however, was different. We were immediately excited as soon as we became aware of this day. Pie is our lifeblood at We Denton Do It. “Where’s the best place to get pie in Denton?” we asked. A couple people said Loco Cafe. Some suggested we go grab us some pie at Ravelin, but there was definitely not a definitive Denton pie place. That may soon change.
