A burger-and-beer joint founded in Arizona is coming to Texas: Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, a casual restaurant serving exactly what the name says, is opening its first Texas location in Euless at Glade Parks, 2221 SH-121.

According to a release, it'll open on October 16 with a menu featuring starters, wings, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and many varieties of mac & cheese.

The concept was founded in Scottsdale in 2011 and is part of Square One Concepts, a company founded by S. Barrett Rinzler, who has founded numerous concepts such as Bourbon and Bones, Crab & Mermaid Fish Shop, and Wasted Grain.

Their signature is half-pound burgers such as the CB&CB with Gruyere, caramelized onion, pickle, lettuce and garlic aioli ($15.95); and the Bacon Bleu with avocado ($17.95).

They have a wide selection of beers, plus seltzers, cocktails, wines and non-alcoholic options as well in comfortable surroundings.

In addition to burgers, dishes include Buffalo Chicken Tot Chos, a Jumbo Salted Pretzel, and Garlic Parmesan Fries, plus a quartet of mac & cheese options that include basic, hot & smoky, chili, and a mac & cheese with chicken and broccoli.

There are sliders and sandwiches such as a BLT and a prime dip; hot dogs, wings, and salads including Caesar, Asian chicken, and Cobb. Sweets and indulgences include milkshakes, desserts, and boozy milkshakes.

The interior boasts black leather booths, high tops and tables, and a bar with more than 60 HD TVs.

Rinzler says in a statement that "we could not be more thrilled to expand to the great state of Texas. This 18th and newest location of Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers will offer our brand of sports-themed dining without compromising food quality or atmosphere. We look forward to pleasing the Texas appetite."

He says he was inspired to found the concept from my own personal experience at sports bars and having a background in the industry.

"I enjoyed catching a game at a local spot, but I was annoyed by the quality of the food," he says. "From that point, we decided ‘let’s do this’ and in 2011, we opened the first Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers in North Scottsdale with plenty of beer, TVs to see most any game, and a scratch kitchen. We’ve grown steadily pleasing our patrons ever since."

Luscious doughnut shop Duck Donuts makes Fort Worth debut

A decadent new doughnut shop is coming to Fort Worth: Duck Donuts, a North Carolina-based chain known for serving doughnuts made to order, will open a shop at 6387 Camp Bowie Blvd. #A within the Ridglea Plaza Shopping Center in Fort Worth.

According to a release, the shop will open on Saturday December 21 at 7 am.

Duck Donuts opened its first locations in 2007 in the beach resort towns of Duck and Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with the intention to create an oasis for vacationers. They're now headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and began franchising in 2013, with more than 150 locally owned and operated shops across 26 states and international locations. There was previously a DFW location in Addison on Belt Line Road that opened in 2020 but it did not survive the pandemic.

The Fort Worth shop is owned and operated by husband-and-wife Justin and Morgan Thomas.

“We are delighted to be opening in Fort Worth,” Justin says in a statement. “The community has been patiently waiting for us to open our doors, and now we cannot wait to sprinkle happiness to all with our warm, delicious and made-to-order doubhnuts.”

The 1,035-square-foot shop reflects the franchise’s reimagined design which gives a modern twist on their iconic beach theme and family-friendly atmosphere. Upon entering the store, customers are greeted by the aroma of warm, light vanilla cake doughnuts.

Customers can create their own combination by choosing from coatings, toppings, and drizzles, including traditional favorites such as chocolate icing with sprinkles and more adventurous creations such as maple icing with bacon.

Key to their appeal is the viewing area where children and adults alike can watch their doughnuts being made.

Many of their flavors have a beachy theme such as the Beach, a cake doughnut with vanilla icing dusted with cinnamon sugar; the Sunrise with lemon icing and raspberry drizzle; and the Beach Ball with vanilla icing, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle.

They rotate in seasonal offerings such as the current lineup of mint-flavored flavors including chocolate icing with mint buttercream. The doughnuts themselves are limited to vanilla and chocolate cake; the flavors come primarily from icing.

In addition to doughnuts, the Fort Worth location will serve coffee, doughnut breakfast sandwiches, doughnut sundaes — in which a doughnut is topped with ice cream and syrup — plus frozen beverages and milkshakes.
