overset City of Ate from p13 inspired neighborhood restaurant that will open on Greenville Avenue sometime this fall, serving dishes with local and globally sourced ingredients. Kiwi native, chef and owner Toby Archibald has previously worked at Bullion, and Georgie by Curtis Stone. Great American Hero has moved out of its pink and yellow building on Lemmon Avenue and has reopened at the Timber Creek Cross- ing Shopping Center at Skillman and North- west Highway. Bruncheon, a spot on Renner Road in Richardson, serves both breakfast and lunch between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. From omelets and short stacks to sand- wiches and flatbreads, there’s a big menu, but we highly recommend the pineapple up- side-down pancakes. Looking for a new sports lounge? Of course you are. We recently visited Bowl Games in the Design District. This large space (think ware- house) has solid bar food, like a candied bacon burger below, strong drinks, local beer and pin toss, which is a cross between bowling and quarterbacking (that’s a verb, right?). They also have a lot of TVs to watch a game, plus some shuffleboard and foosball. Don Chabe, a Mexican steakhouse, made its debut in Deep Ellum in the former space of Mac’s Bar-B-Q. This place serves not only traditional Mexican food but also a variety of steaks and classic steakhouse sides. ▼ FIRST LOOK THE GREAT AMERICAN HERO REOPENS IN ITS NEW DIGS. BY DOYLE RADER Hero last year, keeping the beloved Dallas sandwich shop from closing its doors for good. However, they knew they could not call the colorful building on Lemmon Ave- nue home forever. Great American Hero served its last J sandwich on Lemmon in late August and re- opened in its new location near Skillman Street and Northwest Highway in early Sep- tember. While the yellows, pinks and blues that defined the brand for decades are gone, the sandwiches and other items made from fresh ingredients remain. NEW PLACE, SAME TASTE acob Cox and Danny Wilson garnered a lot of attention — and praise — when they stepped in to buy Great American Hero’s club with bacon and no olives. Doyle Radar On a recent visit, the eager staff greeted us when we walked in and handed us a yellow paper menu. It is reminiscent of the original menu, curated by former owner Dominick Oliverie, and it’s exten- sive. There are 31 different sandwiches to choose from on a variety of bread options: French, focaccia, red pepper parmesan cia- batta, whole wheat, nine-grain wheat, jala- peno cheese, sourdough white and gluten-free. If you prefer wraps, there are three kinds: garlic and herb, spinach and to- mato basil. Also on the menu: salad, hum- mus, nachos, soup, chili, cookies and other sweets. It is hard to pass on a classic like the No. 1, The Italian for $8.99. Pick your bread of choice and get it “Jersey Style.” Or go with the Hero’s Club, No. 11, for $9.47. Make it a combo with a bag of chips and a large drink for an additional $3.92. Then grab a seat and enjoy every bite of nostalgia that follows. The flavors are beautifully familiar, right down to the crunch of the shredded lettuce, with smells that delight the olfactory sense. It’s exactly what has kept generations of hungry patrons coming back for more. “We hope to deliver the same quality and consistency as always,” Cox says via text. “We have multiple locations in the works, so we want to make sure things are the same no matter where you go.” While Great American Hero may be in new digs that once housed a Del Taco and Captain D’s, it has kept some of the charm of the original Lemmon Avenue store. They still serve the sandwiches on white paper plates carried on blue plastic trays. The wooden booths are from the Lemmon loca- tion, sanded down and refinished. Cox says a full-service coffee and espresso bar is in the works, along with a breakfast menu. Both will be available start- ing in early October, around the time of the shop’s official grand opening. Until then, Dallasites looking to sate their sandwich cravings can dine in or drive-thru Great American Hero at the new location. Great American Hero’s branding and aesthet- ics may have changed, but its food continues to be what diners have expected and enjoyed since 1974.
