Prosper resident Brian Kim said when he opened GoYaki in his hometown in 2024, he wanted to share his Korean culture by creating a menu and presentation style that was a bit different from other Korean restaurants.

He said many Korean restaurants serve meals with multiple sides while others are more bowl-based meals where everything is mixed in one dish.

On the menu: Kim said he, his wife Jane Kim and his mother-in-law created the GoYaki menu using family recipes.

A wide range of menu items are served in divided, bento-box–style dishes, allowing customers, as Brian Kim puts it, “to experience Korean barbecue on a plate.”

The Frisco Police Department will launch new autonomous drones as first responders in May. The new drone technology is expected to see faster response times as the drones arrive on scene within minutes. 

The overview: Frisco City Council approved $427,500 for the program to be reimbursed through a grant from the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority. The group has provided grants for other municipalities to implement the new technology, including Prosper, which was the first in Texas to use drones as a first responder. Frisco is providing a matching amount of $39,660.

A closer look: The Frisco Police Department currently has 18 Federal Aviation Administration-certified pilots to operate the drones. Drones must be flown with a horizon-fixed camera view and only record video relevant to the call response. The drone can respond within a 3.5-mile radius of its docking site. In Frisco, those docking sites are not yet finalized, but the preliminary locations have been outlined as shown in the map.

The March 3 primary election is coming up, and so is the deadline to register to vote. Eligible Texans must register by Feb. 2 to cast votes in dozens of races, including 18 statewide officials, 38 members of Congress, 166 state legislators and various local seats, such as county judges and commissioners.

How to register: Texans must submit a paper voter registration application by Feb. 2. Applications can be mailed to their county elections office or delivered in-person.

To avoid delivery delays under new federal postmark rules, prospective voters may requests that mailed applications be hand-stamped at a local post office.

The big picture: Texas holds primaries for partisan elected positions at the federal, state, regional and local levels. Republican and Democratic primary voters will have a say in which candidates will represent their chosen political party on the November ballot, shaping who is ultimately elected to each seat.

In recent years, no more than one-fourth of registered Texas voters have cast ballots in primary elections, state data shows.
