Growing up in Texas means growing up eating barbecue; it’s one of the staples of life. Your taste buds come to expect it. To satisfy them, we suggest a visit to Sammy’s BBQ. The meat on their ribs almost falls off the bone; their tender beef brisket is the best we’ve had. For a side […]

This effortlessly friendly, colorful spot is one of the best places in North Texas to enjoy Honduran food. That starts at breakfast, with San Pedro’s signature baleadas, flour tortillas stuffed with beans and crumbled cheese. (For a few dollars more, “baleadas supreme” come with avocado slices and meat, too.) Honduran tortillas are different from the […]
Sandwich Hag is the little bánh mì shop that could. Its tiny building, which dates from 1964, has just a walk-up window for ordering and a couple of picnic tables under a shaded canopy. Inside, a tiny staff led by chef Reyna Duong assembles perfect sandwiches built around pork, sausage patties or ginger tofu. Fun […]
An interpretation of the Spanish mid-to-late afternoon nosh by serial restaurateur Alberto Lombardi (Toulouse, Cibus, Penne Pomodoro), this eatery offers diners excursions through Mediterranean regions beyond the Iberian Peninsula. Standard tapas like garlic shrimp get equal footing (eating?) with ham and cheese croquettes with spanikopita and a chicken tagine. House-made pastas and paella are also […]

Now at the base of The Joule hotel in downtown Dallas – adjacent to the Midnight Rambler bar and across from the eyeball art installation across the street – Sassetta has a new home. The […]

Try the Garlic Ghee Mushroom Bianca pizza for some more muted South Asian flavors. The New York-style pizza comes with a base of creamy white sauce, made of blended alfredo and mozzarella. The pie […]

The locally-owned soul food kitchen was featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks, when a Dallas Cowboy revealed it as his favorite restaurant. Here, the sides are the star of the show. Don’t pass on the thick and creamy macaroni and cheese or the sweet yams. Mashed potatoes are blessed with a liberal amount of dark brown […]
Richardson has its share of Asian cuisine, but SaWaDiKa Thai Zone stands out for its peppy atmosphere and admirable blend of the traditional and the creative. Basic dishes such as pad Thai and red curry are plated beautifully and taste just as good. Tiger Cry brisket is some of the most well-seasoned in the area. […]
The specialty here is Mediterranean-style grilled seafood, offered in a weekday lunch buffet, but the real action at Sayyad is in the evenings, when grilled fish and seafood kebabs can take center stage. The seafood specialties here include singari fish casserole, in which a whole fish is split, butterflied and marinated, then topped with an […]
A Dallas mainstay and culinary destination for decades, Scardello stands out from other cheese shops with owner/cheese master Rich Rogers’ dedication to American cheeses and Texas dairies and creameries–with some European farmstead cheese thrown in for good measure. Here you won’t find the confusing, over-stimulating selections touted as tres chic by area gourmet supermarkets and […]
