Established gluten-free baker Tully Philips, of Devonshire, just opened Tu-Lu’s Gluten Free Bakery Wednesday in Preston Center. It’ll be the subject of a story in next week’s paper — and honestly, the goods look pretty delicious.

Anyone had a chance to visit yet?

Meet Meridan Zerner. She is one of the registered dietitians who will speak today at the Cooper Fitness Center’s free Nutrition Expo. Attendees will enjoy cooking demonstrations, food samples, chair massages, and free blood-pressure checks. And if you have time, you can also work out at the Cooper center today — for free.

OK, the headline is a bit of a tease, but if it caught your eye then listen up. We’re developing a reader’s guide to the best restaurants in town that offer free kids’ meals. Ideally, we’ll have a place or two listed each day of the week.

As I lack the requisite children to know this information on my own, I’m calling for back up. Where do you take your munchkins to beat the munchies on the cheap?  Comments are on.

Don’t know what to cook for dinner tonight? Just say no to your own kitchen, and head over to Purple Cow in Preston Royal Village for Kramer Elementary Spirit Night. From 4 to 9 p.m., mention the Kramer Colts and 15 percent of your bill goes to the school.

Those of us who have transitioned (some say evolved) from brick and mortar restaurants to the high-speed life of food trucks will say there’s nothing better than stepping up to a truck and grabbing a Korean taco or Vietnamese banh mi. The rest of you will presumably say you like “having a seat while you eat” and “not standing in the rain.”

To that I say “Humbug!”, but there’s an opportunity to change your mind. The Shops at Park Lane will host Food Truck Fridays every Friday this month, featuring a variety of trucks every week, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The trucks include: 3 Men and a Taco, Gennarino’s, Green House, Jack’s Chowhound, Ruthie’s Rolling Cafe, Ssahm BBQ, and Trailercakes. Visit The Shops at Park Lane’s Facebook page to check the weekly schedule.

Sure, we’ll all likely have turkey on the table tomorrow. But beyond the favored bird, what’s your favorite holiday habit? Running in the Turkey Trot? Going shopping? Watching the Cowboys in a tryptophan coma?

Comments are open.

While some may drive far to satisfy their Thai food fix, my favorite Thai spot, Best Thai, is hidden in the Hollow. Why are so many Preston Hollow residents missing these yummy Pad Thai moments? Maybe it is because the store is completely hidden in between the Barnes & Noble, Dallas Summer Musicals, and the U.S. Post Office at Preston Royal Village. Until a few weeks ago, Best Thai was merely a small room with a few mismatched chairs and tables. Despite the lack of publicity and atmosphere, the food at Best Thai was superb. Thankfully, the restaurant has recently transformed into a cozy and neighborhood eatery with a modern and chic design. For more pictures of the renovation, click here.

I love the Texas Rangers. And I love Mexican food. So, of course, I love the fact that Cantina Laredo in Preston Royal Village is offering discounts to Rangers fans on game days. If you wear Rangers gear and spend at least $30, your bill will be discounted by 10 bucks. World Series games are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. In necessary, games will also be played Monday, Oct. 26, and Oct. 27.

This is supposed to be the last warm day for a while. Seems like a good time for a milkshake. I see on the Preston Royal Village website that the Purple Cow has special shake flavors tied to Halloween and the State Fair. Dare I try both?
