Real chefs and maniacal cooks
We love us some Cowtown Diner and look forward to Scott Jones’ demonstrations at Taste of Dallas. But we can’t wait to see the Mavs ManiAACs Iron Chef Competition. We know they can eat, but can they cook? DV’s own Arnold Jones puts his judgment to the test deciding on which ManiAAC is a closeted culinary master.
DEETS: Fair Park, 1200 S. Second Ave. Through July 11. $5. TasteofDallas.org.

Beastly love isn’t always a bad thing
From film to stage, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will likely be filled with elaborate costumes, fancy makeup and gorgeous sets. Disney spares no expense. But the tale as old as time will likely retain its heartful cente. Although, is it wrong for us to have a crush on the evil Gaston? He is kinda hunky.
DEETS: Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora St. Through July 25. $50–$150. ATTPAC.org.

Sisters are giving it up for themselves
Jenna Skyy and Chanel LaMasters say bye to their crowns as their reign at Miss Texas FFI concludes. The event starts Sunday but contestants compete in the Tuesday night finals during their Pussy Palace presentation — which officially scares us.
DEETS: The Round-Up Saloon, 3912 Cedar Springs Road. 9 p.m. MissTexasFFI.com.
