From its start on Sylvania Avenue, it has moved to the TCU area and now maybe back to the central city.

The boozy-breakfast diner was one of two restaurants to close the same day, along with an interior Mexico restaurant in Colleyvile.

This is probably the best Texas barbecue restaurant that didn’t make the hoity-toity Michelin Guide ratings.

It offers steak and dishes with Indian influences — and it’s named for a dog.

Noted hotel chef “Moose” Benhamacht helped draw up the dinner menu to lift a salad/lunch cafe to an all-day dining option along Interstate 20 in an Arlington suburb.

“Maybe Michelin learned just how great the top BBQ joints are here.”

The world-renowned Michelin Guide sent inspectors to Texas restaurants last spring for the first time, promoting the rollout with marketing help from Travel Texas and Visit Fort Worth.

The Houston operator joked that he’s building more Fort Worth restaurants because a daughter now goes to TCU, and “she needs a place to have lunch.”

The carpets are gone, but the restaurant is open again with a chef from highly rated Turkish restaurants in Southlake and Flower Mound.

Travelers on Interstate 20 seem to know the iconic cafeteria is open. The parking lot and drive-thru line were dotted with out-of-state license plates.
