Keep Dallas Observer Free
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures Dallas Observer can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Mark your calendars for June 26-28, girls, boys and foodies. The Texas Restaurant Association’s annual Southwest Foodservice Expo is coming to the Dallas Convention Center and with it (aside from yours truly who won’t be competing for a title this year due to overbooking) chef Marcus Samuelsson of Red Rooster in Harlem. If you miss your chance at a picture with the studly Ethiopian-Swedish-American chef there’s always a chance to have a drink with this much less studly Icelandic-American one.
Browse the exhibitors for the latest in food trends and come with an empty stomach — TRA exhibits are known for their wealth of booth-side snacking. And if all that doesn’t make you want to pay the $20 for a pass, there’s always the annual Best Chef Southwest competition and book signings.
