 Friday Night Fish Fry and Easter, Oh My! Soulman’s Bar-B-Que Springs into Action!

North Texas’ Favorite Family-Owned Bar-B-Que Brings Homemade Goodness in the Most Delicious Way

Soulman’s Bar-B-Que’s signature Friday Night Fish Fry is a beloved tradition year-round, but it’s especially popular during Lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter. On Lenten Fridays, many Christians abstain from meat and turn to seafood, and Soulman’s will fry up a meal worth savoring.

“Every Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., guests can enjoy our fish fry meals for dine-in or carry-out at all Soulman’s locations,” says Brett Randle, CEO of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que. “North Texans love our deep-fried fish fillets, crispy hush puppies, and famous sides—including our award-winning house-cut fries, Texas-style creamed corn, Southern-fried cabbage, or classic coleslaw. We fry our fish in small batches, ensuring every bite is fresh, crispy, and full of flavor.”

Soulman’s Friday Fish Fry is available at all 20 North Texas locations, with two hearty meal options:

  • The Medium Catch – Four pieces of fried fish, two sides, and hush puppies for $14.49
  • The Big Catch – Six pieces of fried fish, two sides, and hush puppies for $15.49

“As we celebrate 50 years of serving North Texans, we continue to listen to our guests—and they can’t get enough of our Friday Night Fish Fry!” Randle adds.

And with Easter around the corner, Soulman’s Bar-B-Que is making holiday meals stress-free for North Texans. Preorder a full family feast online and pick it up at any Soulman’s Bar-B-Que location before Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.

“We take care of the cooking so families can enjoy a homestyle Easter meal without the hassle,” says Randle. “We pair our savory, hickory-smoked ham with our homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, and King’s Hawaiian rolls for a classic Easter meal that families will love.”

Soulman’s offers two Easter meal options available for preorder at https://soulmans.com/easter-meal/:

  • Big Easter Dinner – Feeds 20-24 for $189.99
  • Easter Dinner – Feeds 10-12 for $98.99

Add Soulman’s hickory-smoked meats, famous sides, and delicious desserts for an Easter meal that can be tailor-made for any gathering. Half hams ($49.99) and whole hams ($99.99) are also available. Preordered meals can be picked up on Friday, April 18, and Saturday, April 19, 2025.

All Soulman’s locations will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.

The 2025 Equest Blue Ribbon Gala Leadership Team: Honorary Chairs David and Natalie Taylor, Auction Chair Norma Jean Schaltenbrand, and Gala Chairs Kristin and James Hallam

On April 10, Teresa and Tom Fishman hosted an intimate Patron Party for the 44th Annual Equest Blue Ribbon Gala at their exquisite University Park home, setting the stage for an evening of philanthropy and celebration. The event honored Equest’s four-decade legacy of enhancing the quality of life for children and adults with diverse needs through the human-horse connection.

Equest Mini Ambassadors Ranger and Dare, two miniature therapy horses under 38 inches tall, welcomed guests, embodying the organization’s mission through their gentle presence. Demonstrating her culinary  talent and southern hospitality, Teresa served a magnificent homemade gourmet spread featuring stuffed peppers, spinach pastries, apple and blue cheese mini toasts, and more. Another talent on display, 13-year-old rising artist Veva Sterling, a student at Booker T. Washington Arts Magnet School and daughter of Mimi Sterling, impressed guests with live watercolor portraits.

2025 marks Eric Lindh’s first Gala season at Equest since becoming CEO last summer, but it’s not his first rodeo. Previously, he spent nearly two decades with Project Transformation—serving nine years as National CEO and 10 years as Executive Director for North Texas.  Lindh captivated the room with his gratitude to Equest’s generous supporters and stellar Gala leadership team: Gala Chairs Kristin and James Hallam, Honorary Chairs Natalie and David Taylor through the generosity of The Sam and Helga Feldman Foundation, and Auction Chair Norma Jean Schaltenbrand.

While several presentations were shared, it was the Stout family who truly captured the hearts of everyone in attendance. Parents Jessica and Chaney, along with their three children, moved the audience with their heartfelt story about Equest’s profound impact on their eight-year-old son, Rowe, who benefited from Equest’s programs for the past four years.

Additional attendees included Leslie and Hawkins Golden, and Steve Kemble, the renowned event designer responsible for planning the special Gala evening. Several members of the Equest Board of Directors were also present, including Vice Chairperson Brooke Bailey, Ryan Casey, Harley Cozewith, Elizabeth Dacus, Tim Gavin, Chairperson Amy Green, Clint Haggerty, Finley Konrade, and Lisa Laughlin.

The celebratory evening concluded with cheerful toasts and a shared sense of excitement as everyone looked forward to the upcoming Equest Blue Ribbon Gala on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Gilley’s Dallas. The Texas-chic affair will feature gourmet cocktails and seated dinner, live and silent auctions, casino games, and live music by Jordan Kahn’s Manhattan Orchestra to dance the night away. Tickets and information are available at www.equest.org/gala.

Future Mr. & Mrs. Blizzard sharing a Blizzard at Texas Dairy Queen - Photo credit: Heather Buckley Photography

When Olivia Morris fell in love with Bradley Blizzard, she had no idea her future last name would lead to a dreamy collaboration with one of the most iconic treats in America.

“From the moment we saw Olivia’s TikTok, we knew we had to say ‘I do’ to this sweet idea,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. “It’s not every day you meet a couple whose last name is Blizzard. We’re thrilled to help make their journey to the altar as joyful and memorable as possible.”

From a whimsical engagement photoshoot at a DQ restaurant in Texas to supporting their bachelor and bachelorette parties with personalized merch, gift cards and a custom “Mrs. Blizzard” jacket, TDQOC is helping turn Olivia and Bradley’s sweet dreams into reality. 

“After tagging @dairyqueentx in a TikTok, we were pleasantly surprised by the opportunity to collaborate with such an iconic brand,” said bride-to-be Olivia Morris. “As avid fans of sweet treats – especially the Blizzard Treat – this partnership comes at a special time in our lives and has been such a dream!  We are incredibly grateful for the love and creativity the Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council has poured into making our wedding season unforgettable.”

TWU Dallas Reception Dr. Carine Feyten, Michael Preciado, Avery Ellis-Byerly, Catherine Susser, Monica Christopher

On April 8, Texas Woman’s University (TWU) held a reception at Catherine and Sam Susser’s Preston Hollow home to introduce 100 Dallas community and business leaders to the university. TWU faculty, representatives and supporters also attended.

TWU Dallas President Monica Christopher thanked everyone for coming and recognized the 35 generous donors of the Dallas President’s Leadership Council (DPLC) and the nine founding members—all of whom are women. “If you remember two things tonight, TWU’s unique mission and commitment to student access and its excellence in our current health science programs. Our Occupational Therapy program is ranked #1 in Texas,* and our Physical Therapy program is ranked #2 in the state.” The TWU Dallas campus is located in the heart of the Southwestern Medical District and contributes to the workforce of North Texas. (*U.S. News & World Report)

TWU Chancellor Carine Feyten discussed how her predecessor, Dr. Ann Stuart, first promoted the idea of TWU being its own university system and the need for Dallas to stand on its own. TWU is now the seventh public university system. Feyten told how she met and hired Christopher as the inaugural president. “President Christopher is helping TWU open doors in Dallas to businesses, community organizations and supporters.”  

Catherine Susser, host, TWU Campaign Cabinet and DPLC Founding Member, said, “Two passions of mine drew me to TWU’s mission: education and healthcare.” I’ve been impressed to learn about the important health research that is taking place at TWU, especially at its Mike A. Myers Stroke Center.”

TWU Nursing undergraduate student Michael Preciado told about being a research intern at UT Southwestern and giving a presentation on his research at the American Heart Association’s Stroke Conference in February 2025—all because of his learning experiences at TWU. “I want to be a part of the TWU history.”

TWU Physical therapy doctoral student Avery Ellis-Byerly said that she selected TWU’s program because of its reputation, 100% pass rate and 100% employment rate. “I’m so grateful I said yes to TWU.” She will receive her doctorate in May 2025.

Pictured is 10-year-old Amir and his mom Domanic Griffin. Amir is battling cancer and is a great advocate for Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer.

Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC) partnered with 88 Jersey Mike’s Subs locations across DFW in March, raising a record-breaking $738,576 to support the fight against pediatric cancer.

This month-long campaign culminated on Wednesday, March 26, when 100% of all sales at Jersey Mike’s Subs in DFW were donated to WOKC. The funds raised will directly support local families and help advance critical childhood cancer research.

“This overwhelming support from our community is inspirational,” said Kris Cumnock, CEO of WOKC. “People didn’t just buy a sub, they helped change lives. We are beyond grateful to Jersey Mike’s and the generosity of their customers who contributed to this groundbreaking effort.”

Throughout March, customers participated by rounding up their purchases to the nearest dollar, donating $1, $3, or $5 at checkout. The campaign’s biggest impact came on March 26, when every dollar from every sale went directly to WOKC.

The funds raised will further WOKC’s mission by supporting initiatives such as Buddy Bags for newly diagnosed children, family outings, and special events—all designed to bring comfort and joy during a difficult time. This powerful partnership between WOKC and Jersey Mike’s is making a lasting impact by delivering hope and providing support to families facing their toughest battles.
