Here’s when to book dining deals in Fort Worth for DFW Restaurant Week
DFW restaurant discounts ahead
Hey, Bud! Is there a DFW Restaurant Week this year?
—Susan, Arlington
It’s nearly here. Reservations open July 12 for the annual restaurant prix fixe discount specials Aug. 9-Sept. 5, and some restaurants, such as Arlington’s elegant Piccolo Mondo and the legacy Kirby’s Steakhouse in Southlake, posted their menus early. More than 100 of the area’s best restaurants offer full dinners for $39-$49 and donate a portion to the Lena Pope children’s charity in Fort Worth or to a Dallas food bank.

Staying at the Tim Love hotel
Hey, Bud! Will that hotel behind Gemelle ever be finished?
—Kelly, Fort Worth
Chef Tim Love’s new Hotel Otto storage-container bungalows were plopped into place this week behind his Gemelle Italian restaurant at 4400 White Settlement Road. They’re ready to rent for those who want cozy quarters next to his pizzeria on the Trinity Trail.
Big switch at Sonic
Hey, Bud! What happened to my Sonic burger?
—Brandon, Fort Worth
Unsure. Sonic’s app announced this week that its burgers are now served with ketchup and mayo instead of mustard. (You can still order them the old way.) There’s also a special “crave” sauce.
