Editor's picks: 10 can't-miss Best of Dallas food and drink winners (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s safe to say we spend all year working on our Best of Dallas selections. From editors to staff writers to a crucial team of freelancers, we scour the city every day for what makes us tick. We spend about a month writing these winners, another month editing them and getting each blurb polished and ready for digital and print release. This year’s issue has 100 food and drink blurbs. Catch the whole list here. This is the fifth season for me as the food editor, and here are some of my favorites
How to do the State Fair of Texas on a budget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Big Tex heard the cackle of fairgoers in 2025 who cried that the fair cost too much. Purse strings might objectively be even tighter this year. This year the nonprofit behind the largest fried-food convention in the world has lowered prices across the board from parking to admission.

It’s born from the Brittany region of France. This fascination began after I met Andrea Meyer, owner of the now-sadly-shuttered Bisou Bisou, who told me about her journey to perfect it. She had been traveling in Brittany, France, and bought a kouign-amann from a street vendor. It was so amazing that f
4 Dallas restaurants on our radar right now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I often get asked where I’ve eaten recently — what’s good? — and sometimes people don’t like the answers. I like dives and off-the-beaten-path spots (mostly, but not exclusively), Tex-Mex and bars with great burgers. But I’ve been to several spots recently that I really want to share with the world. They all just made me happy. In various ways. They’re not the latest openings and probably not the subject of TikTok reels, which is perhaps why I love them. 10920 Garland Road, DallasThe son of the
