Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Boston-based Cheapflights.com is pimping a rather incomplete list of "Where to Wine and Dine in Dallas," and, uh, they're kidding, right? Because, turns out, the best barbecue in Dallas is in ... Fort Worth. Yup -- Angelo's. Which ain't bad, but it also ain't in Dallas, last I looked, which was, like, 20 years ago. And the best steakhouse in town is ... Pappas Bros. Steakhouse? (Though, come to think of it, someone 'round here thinks Pappas Bros. is pretty danged good too; guess the rest of us just slum it at Bob's.) But c'mon, Cheapflights, where's the best burger in Dallas? Austin? --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
