It was spook chic as the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art recently celebrated its 37th anniversary at the Crowne Plaza with a Dia de los Muertos- themed gala, “Ofrendas y Flores.” The event welcoming 400 guests for a seated dinner, impressive art auction, and dancing to the sounds of The Celebrity All Star Band performing hits from Earth, Wind and Fire with three of the original members.

Ben Berg doesn’t slow down. Over the last year, the proprietor of B&B Butchers steakhouse has purchased Memorial-area Italian restaurant Carmelo’s and hired his brother Daniel as its chef, opened a second B&B in Fort Worth, and is planning an upscale concept called Benjamin for The Star apartment building downtown — all under his growing Berg Hospitality banner.

It’s known as Dia de los Muertos, aka the Day of the Dead. To some, the holiday has been referred to simply as “Mexican Halloween.” More accurately, it’s a chance for Mexicans to pray for and remember friends and family who have passed away, and help support their spiritual journey. The Day of the Dead is actually multiple days — from October 31 through November 2. It’s also a chance for some fun.

This week, I reached out for a really Bad Idea 3.0 — the Nightmare King from America’s runner-up burger slinger, Burger King, with 13,000 restaurants around the world and apparently hiding under your bed. Nightmare King isn’t exactly the most alluring name for a sandwich, and it’s as spooky as promised.

In what some might say is a risky move, Texas burger chain Whataburger has revamped the recipe on a non-burger menu item it’s had for years.

Dental professionals don’t just care about replacing crowns or the number of dental caries they fill in one day. Above everything else, they care about their patients. That’s why dentists and hygienists from every corner of the world are looking at treatment from a “What can I do to make my patients more comfortable?” perspective. And when I say “comfortable,” I don’t mean they’re adding 1,000 fill down pillows to their waiting rooms. I mean they’re actually investing in expensive technologies, such as dental lasers , that help create ideal environments for the patient who fears local anesthesia or the unfortunate sounds that creep out of exam rooms. Just thinking about both are enough to send someone running in the opposite direction of anyone with a bright smile and precision lenses around his or her neck.
