Slow Bone Barbecue – Dallas, TX
The first time that I visited Slow Bone was six years ago, when I was in town and went to lunch with some office mates. But I didn’t remember that, right off the bat, when I was asked where I wanted to go for lunch. Finishing up a meeting in Las Colinas around 2:00, we […]
Ferris Wheeler’s Barbecue – Dallas, TX
8/15 11:45 On day two of my Dallas trip, I was meeting a friend for lunch. What would we have? Barbecue. We tried to find a place, that was both open on Wednesday and that neither of us had been to previously and he gave me two choices: I opted for Ferris Wheeler’s Backyard & […]
Lockhart Smokehouse – Dallas, TX
Flying into Dallas for business, I landed about 11:30, which meant I was just in time for lunch. Heading from the airport to downtown, there are a plethora of options, but I was thinking about the “one that got away”. A couple of years back we went to the Texas State Fair to eat […]
Short Leash Dogs: Sit… Stay – Phoenix, AZ
One of my guides for food in Phoenix on this trip, was this article from Thrillist.com – the 12 Essential Restaurants in Phoenix. And it led me to a hot dog place, which arose from a food truck, for lunch – Short Leash Dogs. The tag line is “Become a Naan Believer”. I love a good […]
Matt’s Big Breakfast – Phoenix, AZ
When I was planning our trip, I knew that one morning we’d be starting a day at Matt’s Big Breakfast. Why not start there, on the first morning? When we showed up at 8:05 on a Saturday, the place was already packed. We talked with the host and he said that the 15-20 people waiting […]
The Stand – Phoenix, AZ
Coming into Arizona from the east coast during the 8 months or so when they’re on Pacific time, always makes eating a challenge. By the time we landed, got a car and were on the road, it was both time for dinner (6:30 locally) and time for bed (9:30 at home). I made the executive […]
Off Site Kitchen – Dallas, TX
Finishing up our visit to the Texas State Fair, we were looking for something to eat on the way to the airport. I had a couple of places and mind and gave Jo a choice of burgers or barbecue. She chose burgers and I had found Off Site Kitchen in this fabulous book Where […]
Meat U Anywhere Barbecue – Grapevine, TX
Heading to the Texas state fair, we landed at DFW with a shopping destination on my beloved’s mind. I, on the other hand, was thinking of food. This should not be a shock to anyone that knows me. I opened the Texas Monthly Barbecue Finder (this is a great app – if you like barbecue […]
Pecan Lodge – Dallas, TX
One of the top “food” spots planned for our trip was to make it to Pecan Lodge, in Dallas. We have an office in downtown Dallas, and I had heard about the consistently excellent barbecue they were putting out from their prior location in the farmers’ market. But I never seemed to be in town, […]
