Eat the entire Med

The family-run, Houston-based, all-you-can-eat Mediterranean chain's opened a second Dallas location; this one's cozier, with stone walls, lots of wood, and no windows to distract you from heaping trays of hummus, baba ghanouj, chicken kebab (with oregano/green pepper/tomato/onion), boiled lamb shanks (in garlic and, oddly, teriyaki sauce), and fried cauliflower -- if Mom had thought of that, you'd be two feet taller. And wider.
