Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Leading up to September’s Best of Dallas® 2016 issue, we’re sharing (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes, the Dallas entrées, appetizers and desserts that really stuck with us this year.

Never one to be left out of a meat moment, the Blind Butcher gives pastrami their own spin with the duck pastrami sandwich ($13), piled high with duck bacon, pickled shallots, arugula and beer goat cheese on a pretzel bun. Salty, fatty, chewy, fun — this sandwich passes the test. But then again, what at Blind Butcher doesn’t?
