buzzbrews – the cult kitchen
July 15, 2007
Good-morning readers. Although Thursday is my favorite day, I like the forever morning vibe that Sunday gives off. Does anyone else ever feel like Sunday, up until about dark, has that drowsy A.M. feeling? Anyways, maybe it’s just that I went out last night, got a little drunk and ended up skimping on my sleep.
My friend Mickey, the socialite that he is, had a debutant party last night, and I was lucky enough to tag-along. Anyways, after drinking a little, dancing a lot and socializing a good amount, we headed over to Hotel ZaZa for the Modern Luxury Dallas magazine (I am working for them this summer) Bastille day party.
This was my first time to ZaZa; I like it. It was as expected, a good scene, with good-looking people. It kind of epitomizes what Dallas is trying to become, “young, hip, trendy,” a wannabe LA. I’d recommend ZaZa to people looking for an energetic, sceney night-spot; if you go into the evening with the right mindset (ready to conquer) you are sure to have a good time.
After a solid five hours of sleep, Mickey and I were ready to get back at it. Mick did some research and ended up figuring out that the “best breakfast in Dallas” was produced by the kitchen of BuzzBrews. Although the food was good, I won’t be going back. The place gave me a cultish sense; I felt like everyone there, customers included, were characters in some retro comic book.
I enjoyed the “fresh-water” which was watermelon juice with a touch of honey, and their coffee was also quite quenching. All in all, the flavors of the food, although nice, were not enough to overcome the sketchiness of the place.
My negative review will probably make all you Dallas readers curious. And yes, I’d say check the place out, I’m sure BuzzBrews is recruiting, and if you like the vibe, acceptance is probably not too hard to attain.

First, I did not have a debutante party. I was invited to one. Girls have debutante parties. Just wanted to clear that fact up before people thought I was homosexual.
Second, I will strongly challenge your negative review of the restaurant. You can’t condemn a place after only one visit. Also, you didn’t truly explore the menu. In my opinion, you may have chosen one of the least appealing items. I on the otherhand had a great meal, enjoyed the bottomless cups of coffee (several different unique brews to choose from) and also appreciated the lively atmosphere. The location is different and fun. There are a few seats outdoors and the interior is a unique retro-styling. To conclude, I disagree with your review and give BuzzBrews a thumps-up!

you also had a debutant party. if your schedule included one, you had a debutant party to go to.
also, i did not argue with the food. i just dont like the place or the vibe that i get from it. did you read the review?
I quote, “Although the food was good, I won’t be going back. The place gave me a cultish sense; I felt like everyone there, customers included, were characters in some retro comic book.”
Plus the outdoor seating is not an added benefit. You are flanked by a motel parking lot on one side and an 8-lane highway on the other.
but thanks for the comment!

I perused their menu. Almost everything looked like my kind of food. I’d look forward to having one open in my neighborhood. And if they deliver, problem solved.
