Brunch in the Bishop Arts District By MORGAN VILLAVASO Some of the best brunch in Dallas can be found about ten minutes south of the TWU T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences. Head down to the Bishop Arts District and feast for $15 or less at the following restaurants. Tillman’s Roadhouse Though Tillman’s Roadhouse is tucked into the heart of Bishop Arts, I was a bit hesitant to try it out. Reason simply being – its name inspires thoughts of those chain restaurants that encourage patrons to throw peanuts on the floor. As it turns out, Tillman’s atmosphere is the polar opposite. Its environment can best be described as the perfect blend of classy and cozy, complete with tasteful chandeliers and pillowed seating. While all of the brunch entrees are fantastic, Tillman’s
Tableside S’mores are what really needs to be discussed. Their homemade marshmallows are absolutely unbeatable, and customers can make their own S’mores right on the tabletop. Whisk Crêpes Café Whisk Crepes Café is 100 percent French from its menu to its bistro sets. Located at Sylvan Thirty, this modern little café is owned by Paris native Julien Eelsen. The menu is split between savory, breakfast-style crêpes and sweet dessert crêpes. Patrons may choose from the owner’s creations or craft their own crêpes, choosing from ingredients such as cookie spread, Nutella, fresh fruit, nuts, homemade whipped crème and more. Crêpes aside, one of the lesser known highlights of the restaurant is its coffee. Whisk’s lattes are hip-coffee-shop quality, but for the price of only $3 as compared to the usual $6. While
Whisk can get overcrowded at rush hours, it provides a rather intimate environment after the crowd dies down. Smoke Smoke is the neighboring restaurant to the boutique Belmont Hotel, which was built in the 1940s. Walking into the restaurant feels more like walking into a log cabin, complimented by old family portraits on every wall and the smell of barbeque. Speaking of which, I would highly recommend the Pulled Whole Hog BBQ Eggs Benedict. If you are looking for something a little sweeter, the Heavy Handed Blueberry & House Made Ricotta Cheese Pancakes served with Vanilla Poached Apricots and Cream ties for first place. After brunch, I would also recommend going for a stroll around the grounds of the Belmont. Hint: its pool deck boasts one of the very best views of the city.

ADVERTISEMENT AN OPEN CHALLENGE, Go Beyond the Golden Rule The poet Robert Burns wrote, “O wad some Power the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see us,” but I believe there is a greater power. It is a greater power to be able to see others as they see themselves. You may aspire to follow the Golden Rule and “do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” It is a worthy goal, but one that assumes what is best for you will also be best for others. May I suggest another approach? When I was fortunate to be a Judge and preside over probate cases, I had to remind myself that the applicants probating the estates of their loved ones needed far more understanding in court than an attorney like me who expected only professionalism from the Judge. They needed to know that the Judge cared about them and understood that their case was for them all about the beloved person they had lost. It would not have been enough for me to be merely professional to those grieving widows and surviving children. I needed to consider the pain of their loss in order to treat them as they deserved to be treated. Consider - as a young person observing elderly people walking and talking with difficulty, whether you should not see beyond their present appearance. They were GIANTS once, who fought wars, raised families, and made our world possible. They may be lesser giants now encumbered by age and infirmity, but with their present limitations they need assistance provided with all the dignity of the stature they have earned. Remember, we all stand on their shoulders.
Consider - when you are a person with full mobility and see a person in a wheelchair, you should think about a world of impassable curbs, unclimbable steps, and rainy days that leave a person in a wheelchair soaked before being able to get out of the car and go inside. If you can consider all of those things, then it is not hard to understand why ramps and handicap parking places near front doors are so important. Consider - when you are stopped at a red light next to a turn lane, the person in the car behind you may need to turn but cannot because of you. Your trip may be unhurried, but that person behind you may be late for something important. If you pull forward only a few feet, you may allow that person to get into the turning lane and not need to wait with you for the light to change. In moving only a few feet, you made the day easier for someone else. Consider it; you made life better with just one small effort to be considerate. Consider in sum - that if you walk in the shoes of others, you will see the world as they see it and feel the burdens that they must carry. Consideration is a skill that does not require brilliance or talent, but it requires effort. I hope that you take the challenge to go beyond the Golden Rule, for a life lived without considering others - is a life less lived. Live more than for yourself and you will make the world a better place. And so I believe, Jerry D. Parr
