The concept, spearheaded by Chef-Managing Partner DeLeon, is the second Mi Dia From Scratch location in the DFW Metroplex, following the Grapevine location which opened in October, 2011. DeLeon takes much of his inspiration from his passion for travel throughout the world to bring authenticity to his dishes. Mi Dia From Scratch is named for DeLeon’s use of authentic ingredients in creating unique dishes by hand inspired by his training with renowned Mexican Chef Patricia Quintana in Mexico City.
“Our food is vibrant, soulful and complex.” said DeLeon. “Our menu is aimed at serving Mexican, Tex Mex and Santa Fe in a way that has not been successful before.”

Cerboni, New Houston Company Offers Intuitive, All-Inclusive, Specialized Financial and Accounting Solutions for Hospitality Industry
Multilingual Co-Founders bring more than 25+ years of experience in restaurant startups and tax services
Joshua Santana of Santana and Associates in Houston has joined forces with Restaurant Specialist, Maria Degaine, to create Cerboni Financial Solutions and Accounting which offers specialized services and consulting for hospitality clients.
Most restaurants and operators still utilize the “old” system/software. Clients receive invoices or have them inputted but they are not receiving an itemized breakdown by category. Cerboni’s system and team analyzes, itemizes, and categorizes every aspect of every individual invoice in order to optimize profits and identify cost surplus and/or savings and where and when it is needed.
Cerboni outfits each client with its proprietary organization system to handle invoicing and billing, tip management, tax services, benefits and more. The data will be made accessible online 24/7 to clients.
With Cerboni’s “new” approach, owners and general managers will have more time to focus on their guests and be able to automate more services and identify problem areas quickly in order to save time and money.

New Entertainment and Dining Destination for Grownups “Sidecar Social”
Debuting Late Summer 2019 in Addison’s Village on the Parkway
Curated, Interactive Social Lounge Experience Founded by North Texas Restaurateur Brent Tipps of BoomerJack’s
The recent resurgence of Addison can be witnessed in the new developments of many well-loved destinations and new concepts converging on Belt Line Road and the Dallas North Tollway. One of the first and most popular outdoor shopping districts, Village on the Parkway, will now host another original, Sidecar Social (5100 Belt Line Road, Suite 401, 75254, 214.272.3950), a 20,000-square foot, curated, social lounge experience from BoomerJack’s Founder Brent Tipps, opening August 19, 2019.
“We all want a place to go to hang out, relax, and connect with our friends and new people,” said Tipps. “Everything about Sidecar Social is designed around that. From shareable plates to free games, we built a place you can bring a friend to and go from dinner and drinks to games and music — you feel like you don’t want to leave.”
Sidecar Social, with the tagline of “Go. All. Out.,” will feature a full spectrum of interactive attractions geared for adult mixing and mingling in a modern industrial, yet warm and refined setting. Guests will be able to choose from daily dining provided by its scratch kitchen while socializing over craft cocktails in one of Sidecar Social’s spacious bars. Additionally, guests can expect friendly competition with free classic games, private karaoke, multiple live music stages, and prime game-watching on 18-foot televisions and on a massive tree-shaded patio with flat screens.
Two main bars will serve guests—one horseshoe bar and convivial lounge area off the main dining room with views of the kitchen and guests, and a giant, rectangular bar in the primary two-story showroom between three enormous 18-foot televisions, two bocce courts, shuffleboard, and generous banquettes with full views of live music stage. Guests will be able to enjoy delicious craft cocktails such as the Elderflower Paloma to Strawberry Basil Bees Knees and Italian 76. Handcrafted classic cocktails will also be available. Upon opening, daily drink specials will include $5 craft cocktails on Tuesdays, $5 martinis on Wednesdays, half-price wine and happy hour drinks from open until 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Free, classic, indoor games for grownups will include a giant, eight-person foosball table, private ping-pong room, shuffleboard, bocce ball, pop-a-shot, corn hole and darts. Live entertainment acts are poised to take the stage every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday on a remote, retractable platform including acoustic acts, live dance bands and DJs. Additional staging areas on the patio and main dining room will be available to host DJs and acoustic acts. Local restaurant and live music industry veteran and General Manager Steve Richardson plans to bring the best acts from the regional music scene to Sidecar Social.
For booking large groups, buyouts and private events including the holiday 2019–2020 season, please contact Sidecar Social Director of Sales Nicole Roberts at nicole@sidecarsocial.com or 817.247.9805.
