Welcome to The Spread, our weekly feature that aims to share all the area restaurant, food and beverage industry news that’s fit to print. Except, this is the Internet, so space isn’t a concern. Also: Good thing, because this is Dallas and this town always has breaking restaurant news going down like whoa.

A marijuana–themed sandwich joint from Colorado is rolling up in Deep Ellum, CultureMap reports. Cheba Hut is opening at 2808 Main Street. The Fort Collins-born concept specializes in sub sandwiches with cheeky weed-inspired names, in addition to cocktails, desserts and other “Munchies.” Dallas is the brand’s first Texas outpost, with another location planned for Austin. No word yet on an opening date.

Switching gears a bit, the Dallas Stars is hosting a special Vegan Night event. On Tuesday, February 11, fans can enjoy a plant-based dinner during the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, with options for Beyond Burgers, vegan brats and Unreal Reubens. Tickets are available for a limited time, running at $25 per person and $75 per person for lower bowl seating.

In other health-conscious news, the Lakewood Village Farmers Market returns this weekend, according to CultureMap . Located at 6434 E. Mockingbird Lane, this year’s rendition will feature a wider selection of local produce and meats, as well as other artisan goods.

Out in Arlington, Hurtado Barbecue is debuting its brick-and-mortar location later this month. The barbecue slingers are hosting a grand opening party on Saturday, February 22 at the 205 East Front Street location. Though the even will boast the concept’s full menu until sold out, it will be BYOB, with free samples offered as well.

And in craft beer  news via CultureMap, Martin House Brewing Co. is releasing a Spicy Pickle Beer. The brew is a follow up to the popular Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer release, a collaboration with fellow Fort Worth company, Best Maid. The beer is a limited can release and will be available until March 2020.
