EATS

15th Street Cafe in downtown Plano closed earlier this month when the owners decided to do catering only, but restaurant is open again with new owners. The new menu includes American basics like sandwiches and burgers, plus pasta and tacos. Lunch and dinner are served on weekdays. Brunch is available Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Downtown Plano has another new-old restaurant. Go-Gorditas on Avenue K next to La Paloma has reopened as Burri-To-Go. The new place offers burritos and wraps.

Oh. My. Gosh.
On March 8, seven Hill Country wineries will serve wine samples paired with beef short ribs from area restaurants. It's to promote the new Texas Wine Road 290 wine trail. And Texas beef, of course.
Even better --- it's free, although some of the wineries might have a charge for wine tasting.
The seven wineries are scatered along a 45-mile stretch, so there's not much driving to do once you get started.
The wineries and the restaurants: Becker Vineyard (Texas Food & Wine Gourmet); Bell Mountain Wine Tasting Room (Bonterra); Chisholm Trail Winery (Cotton Gin); Fredericksburg Winery (Hannah’s Restaurant); Texas Hills Vineyard (Silver K); Torre di Pietra (Navajo Grill); and Woodrose Winery (Woodrose Winery Kitchen).
If you're coming from Dallas, organizers suggest starting at Texas Hills Vineyard (1 mile east of Hwy 281/290 on RR 2766). For details, call the winery: 830-868-2321.
Each winery will have ribs for 150, so don't dawdle.

Those price-rollback specials that restaurants use to mark their anniversaries are especially attractive when it's a place where you know the food is good. Who doesn't love to save money on a sure thing?

Moreover, when it's a place that's been around as long as the home-cooking heaven Celebration has, those old-timey prices are real bargains in 2008 dollars.

Celebration's anniversary email indicates that this Sunday, March 2, "We would like to offer our meatloaf and roasted rosemary chicken for the retro price of $5.95." (Normally these dishes are $10.95 and $10.50 at dinner, $9.25 each at lunch.)

Celebration is at 4503 W. Lovers Lane in Dallas. Call 214-351-5681 for more information.

This week, Restaurant Critic Bill Addison reviews Shish, the upscale Turkish restaurant from the same people who own the fast-food Turkish place called Selim's Doner House.

The other new reviews are of Cafe R+D, a University Park casual eatery from the company that runs nearby Houston's, and Pho Delavie, a Vietnamese spot in Plano Dallas that serves pho, of course, plus Saigon crepes and other favorites.
