 Just the concept of local ingredients trucked in from the farm every day, the reliance on organic meats and vegetables, and the ever-changing menu would be enough to attract enough of a following to sustain this small Oak Cliff station. But the kitchen is pretty damn good too?even without a deep... More >> |

 As the name implies, there is plenty of barbecue?from brisket to ribs to real Carolina-style pulled pork. But Smoke is more than a barbecue pit. Chef Tim Byres, formerly of Stephan Pyles, takes the name very literally. He cooks almost everything the restaurant offers over burning hardwood in the... More >> |

 Colds and flu viruses monopolize the short fall and winter seasons.

A true nose-to-tail restaurant, it makes only a few concessions to timid palates, featuring brains and bones and guts. Aside from offal, there are airy chorizo fritters, roast c... More >> |
