🏆 Sports Recap

• Texas Rangers: The Texas Rangers erupted for 16 runs in a dominant win over the Minnesota Twins, extending their win streak to three games as key hitters like Evan Carter and Corey Seager showed signs of heating up.

  Looking ahead, the Rangers will finish their series in Minnesota before returning home for a weekend set against the Chicago White Sox starting June 13, followed by a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals. With their offense clicking, the team hopes to carry this momentum into the upcoming homestand as they continue their push in the AL West.

• FC Dallas: FC Dallas played to a scoreless draw against the Philadelphia Union in their most recent match, extending their winless streak but managing to secure a point on the road. The team now looks ahead to a challenging away game against Sporting Kansas City on June 14, followed by two crucial home fixtures against the San Jose Earthquakes on June 25 and San Diego FC on June 28, as they aim to climb back into playoff contention. With a lighter June schedule, FC Dallas will be eager to capitalize on these opportunities and turn their season around.

• Dallas Wings: The Dallas Wings dropped their most recent game to the Minnesota Lynx, 81-65, as the Lynx remained undefeated and Dallas struggled to keep pace despite a strong effort from Arike Ogunbowale. The Wings will look to bounce back with upcoming games against the Chicago Sky on June 13 and the Indiana Fever on June 15, both at College Park Center, as they aim to turn their season around.

🌮 Where to Eat Next

Mister Charles

Mister Charles just might be the most glamorous spot on Knox Street right now. This stunning restaurant opened in July 2023 in the former Highland Park Soda Fountain space, but it's a completely different world inside.

The vibe? Think Italian villa meets French chateau, with three distinct spaces: a lively front bar with custom lilac seating, a sultry dark wood dining room, and an upstairs wine cellar for private events.

The food is serious business – foie gras croquettes, truffle duck pasta, lamb Wellington for two ($91), and those tiny caviar-topped canapés that are basically edible jewelry. It's "an irreverent play on the classics."

Worth knowing: This isn't cheap, but it's the kind of place that makes any night feel like a celebration. The cocktails are exceptional, the space is Instagram-ready, and you'll definitely want to dress up.

Perfect for: Special occasions, impressing clients, or when you want to feel like the main character in your own glamorous Dallas story.
