Dallas, TX (RestaurantNews.com) Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar is bringing its craft cocktails and farm-fresh comfort food to 3225 Regent Blvd. in Irving on today, June 4.
The popular neighborhood restaurant known for sourcing its flavors, ingredients and ideas straight from local farms, will celebrate its grand opening by donating 50 percent of the proceeds today to Farmers Assisting Returning Military (F.A.R.M.).
“Our flagship location is in Plano, and we are excited to open a second location in the DFW area,” said CEO Steve Shlemon. “Las Colinas has become a popular destination for new businesses and with a second location in North Dallas, we will be able to double the amount of business we provide to our local farmers.

Irving’s new Whiskey Cake will have one of the largest whiskey libraries in the DFW area. The restaurant will feature repurposed design elements such as vintage light fixtures and tables crafted using reclaimed wood from a Booker Noe bourbon storage house that was built in the 1920’s.
Whiskey Cake’s menu features farm-to-kitchen dishes and cocktails made in its “from scratch only” kitchen and bar. Microwave? Never heard of it. Whiskey Cake uses slow-cooking methods on a live wood grill, smoker and spit because everything tastes better that way. From its mesquite wood-grilled plates to fresh greens and famous desserts, all of Whiskey Cake’s hand-crafted dishes are served with simple, honest flavors in a rustic, local atmosphere.
The Las Colinas Whiskey Cake will be the second in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and sixth in total, with locations in Oklahoma City, Houston and San Antonio, Texas.
There’s been a groundswell across the country against the use of plastic straws and now a high-profile Plano restaurant has joined the campaign. Whiskey Cake, the New American restaurant in Plano that’s part of the Frontburner restaurant group, has initiated a new program saying no to straws.
“As a part of our operational philosophy and being the first green restaurant in Plano, we are supporting the movement to reduce straw waste,” says a company spokesman. “Millions of plastic straws are used each day in the United States. We want to do our part in reducing straw pollution so we’re saying no to straws.”
Straws have become the most egregious example of the problem of disposable plastic, which is filling the world’s oceans and trashing its beaches. It’s an issue in Dallas as well, where mountains of plastic refuse wash up on the shores of White Rock Lake every time there’s a big storm.
