Courtesy of Casa Masa The first time I met John Hernandez was in the parking lot of the Double Wide honky-tonk on the eastern outskirts of Dallas’s Deep Ellum neighborhood. It was fall 2017, and the watering hole was hosting a market of food vendors as a fundraiser for the victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, as well as those suffering after the earthquake that had recently struck the Puebla region of Mexico. Hernandez was serving his tamales from the window of an Airstream trailer. A year earlier, he’d started his pop-up tamale company, Casa Masa, as a side gig and creative outlet ...

Sources shared with Wet Paint screen shots of two different social media posts that show Colby Mugrabi forcefully going after her h...

It’s the same bologna sandwich that Kim Finch, owner of Thunderbird Station in Deep Ellum, would order from a gas station just outside Oklahoma’s Lake Murray. She’d turn off the highway to devour cold bologna, sliced as thick as a paperback copy of A Wrinkle in Time, white bread incandescent with French’s mustard and American cheese, and plenty of onion. If her family was in a more DIY mood, they would grab an armful of ingredients from the gas station’s shelves instead of ordering from the deli counter.
