Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
In this week's issue of the Observer, Dave gets his fill of southern surf 'n' turf at C.T.'s Real Deal BBQ, where bail bondsman-turned-restaurateur Corey Toney's scrap with the city over renovations seems like small news next to the fried catfish and hickory-smoked meats.
For more extreme meat close-ups, with sides included, check out this week's Dish slideshow with photos by Sara Kerens.
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.
