About Us

EscapeHatchDallas will help you get out of town, find something cool to do in town, and show you the hot places to eat and drink around town. Editor Mike Hiller is an award-winning travel writer and Dallas restaurant critic. He has written for a number of publications over the past decade, including AvidGolfer Magazine, The Dallas Morning News, Modern Luxury Magazine, 360West Magazine, Indulge Magazine, the Star-Telegram, Colorado Avid Golfer Magazine, and Southwest Airlines’ Southwest Spirit Magazine.

June Naylor is an award-winning food writer, cookbook author and dining critic, covering the Texas food scene for more than 20 years. No one knows the back roads and little diners of Texas better than Naylor, who will gladly take you to them on one of her Texas Toast Culinary Tours.

Our Wine & Spirits Editors are among the best in the business: Master Sommelier Barbara Werley, Advanced Sommeliers Jason Hisaw and Kim Wood, and Sommelier Heather Green (all certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers). Cocktail expert Rick Turner is passionate about classic cocktails; he’s both a certified Sommelier and a Certified Specialist in Spirits (awarded by the Society of Wine Educators).

And no one knows Las Vegas better than Zeke Quezada, who lives in Los Angeles but spends most of his time in Vegas writing about what to do, eat, drink and see for EscapeHatchDallas and About.com.
