I don’t know about you, but I really like Genghis Grill. Grab yourself a stainless steel bowl and pile it high with a variety of ingredients to customize your dish. Genghis Grill’s standout is stir-fry.

Build your bowl by picking a protein base out of 14 options (chicken, steak, tofu, beef, scallops, pepperoni, and more), seasoning it, and selecting veggies (you have 30 choices). Then finesse your fare with choice of sauces; Genghis Grill has everything from chili garlic sauce to sweet and sour sauce.

You’ll finish it all up with a starch such as tortillas, udon noodles, or brown rice.

If decisions make you nervous, horrified, dismayed, or woefully glum, opt for a predetermined Genghis bowl, which lists its complete nutritional value. Personalized or prescribed, all bowls are $8.99.

The cooks will fire up your concoction as your mouth starts to water — all in all, a great dining experience.

Today only, this deal gets even sweeter because Genghis is providing you with $25 of food for a mere $10!

The details are:

* Voucher valid through 26 July 2010
* One voucher per table
* Not valid on alcohol
* Downtown location is 4140 Lemmon Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219

Alliance Francaise de Dallas Presents the French Movie of the Month at The Mac (3120 McKinney Avenue, Dallas, 75204) tomorrow (Saturday), 14 March 09 at 2p.

LA FILLE SUR LE PONT is directed by Patrice Leconte and stars Vanessa Paradis and Daniel Auteuil. The romance was released in 1999 and runs 1h 30m. In french with English captions. Rated R.

Daniel Auteuil and Vanessa Paradis charm in this funny and intriguing twist on Boy Meets Girl. A beautiful waif is prepared to leap to her death in the Seine but is rescued from her grim fate by a raffish carnival knife thrower. If you are wondering why Vanessa Paradis’ name sounds familiar, she’s Johnny Depp’s girlfriend and a major star in France in her own right.

Tonite at The MAC at 6:30p, Autumn Lopez will present a talk on Contemporary Japanese Art.

This talk is FREE and open to the public.

From devastation came a strong economy and a powerful visual culture system that is responsible for producing cute art and products. How and why did massive destruction of a country create cute and popular visual culture? After World War II Japan was left scrambling to find itself after the American occupation and one outlet it chose was manga (Japanese comic books). This media proliferated a new generation of contemporary artists that created cute and sexualized artworks that possessed deeper meanings beyond their “Superflat” surfaces. This lecture will briefly discuss the events that happened in Japanese history to bring about a westernized change during the Meiji Period of Japan and examine the material culture of manga and how it has influenced today’s contemporary artists, Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara.

Ms Lopez received her MFA in Asian Art History with an emphasis on Japanese Art & Culture from the University of North Texas.

Tonite at 7p, make your way to the Borders Books in Uptown (3600 McKinney Avenue) to meet Kat Von D of “LA Ink“.

Tonite from 5:30p - 7:30p the McKinney Avenue Contemporary (The Mac) is hosting an opening reception for their November exhibitions featuring Alex Rubio, Alex de Leon and Sally Warren.

The show demonstrates the artists’ approach to eternal questions regarding the relationship between mankind and the rest of the planet. Through divergent styles and imagery, each artist provides special insights regarding this dynamic and sometimes destructive relationship.
