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 […]
18th & Vine BBQ – Dallas, TX (Photo Blog Posts)
Heading back to DFW after some meetings, I was struck with the brilliant idea to swing by Pecan Lodge, for what are (potentially) the greatest burnt ends on earth. Tragically, they close at 3:00 on Wednesdays, so my hopes were dashed. My taste buds were now set for burnt ends, so I consulted the Texas […]
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 […]
Fred’s Texas Cafe – Fort Worth, TX (Photo Blog Post)
I’ve had Fred’s Texas Cafe on my list for a long time, with the sentence, in the description, that said “is the kind of place you take that new boyfriend or girlfriend to see if they can deal with it. If they can, they’re a keeper. It’s a complete dive, but the burgers are wonderful”. […]
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, […]
Big Daddy’s Ribs & BBQ – Little Elm, TX
Heading down I-35 from southern Oklahoma, by the time we hit the Texas line I was hungry. With no real food plans until dinner in Dallas, I was confronted with the age old question – “what do you want to eat?” I’d like to take this chance to proclaim the love for my beloved (who […]
