The end of the summer in 2024 brought some excitement to the restaurant scene in Dallas-Fort Worth. The biggest talker is probably the $20 million spent on Nuri Steakhouse in Uptown Dallas. But there’s lots of loyalty for lower-priced restaurants, like the new La Rue Doughnuts in Trinity Groves and La Casita Coffee in East Dallas.
My next meal will be at a barbecue joint, and I’ve got a lot of smoked-meat spots to choose from.
I hope you find something delicious in our September 2024 Hot List.
If you like Jimmy’s Food Store in East Dallas, Ari’s Pantry is your kind of place. Ari Lowenstein opened his Italian grocery store in Dallas’ Oak Cliff in December 2023, selling a thoughtful list of pastas, sauces, olives, pizza dough, bagels and other staples. He even made recipe cards for his version of tiramisu and aglio e olio — a sweet touch, as noted in a profile by food writer Claire Ballor. Labor Day Weekend would be a great time to stop in and grab some ingredients for a long cook on Sunday or Monday.

Terrible list. All restaurants listed suck.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a real restaurant here.
Oak cliff is the Beverly hills of the big d right?
More like the Watts of Big D.
ONE in Fort Worth, there are some great ones here, but we are still the poor bastard stepchild of the DFW area.
I just spotted that Ferah smokehouse and cantina a coupke weeks ago. I was interested, but thought their menu seemed a little pricy, and I’m not a big fan of Tex-mex, but I’ll have to give it a shot.
I used to frequent Henderson’s chicken in south Dallas (Hatcher Street). The food was great and open until 4 am. The neighborhood was dicey.
I think the last place I went to is The Hard Eight barbecue.
It looks like Clara’s Kitchen is long gone.
Whataburger was always a good choice at the time. Not sure about now.
Oh, and fried tacos at Jack in the Box. 3 for a dollar! Those were the days.
Grandy’s used to be good also.
The Park Cities and Preston Hollow I believe are the most affluent areas of the Dallas metro.
The south end of the White Rock Lake area I believe has fairly nice houses, but I’ve never been there.
There are about two blocks of nice Victorian era houses near Baylor Hospital and there are grand older circa 1890’s houses on what I believe is Swiss Avenue to the northeast.
I’ve never been to Oak Cliff, but I think it is supposed to be the nicest area of west Dallas.
RH Restaurant.
Only thing I ever order is the
SHAVED RIBEYE DIP*
Emmentaler Swiss, Au Jus,
Charred Garlic Baguette
Truffle Fries
Grilled Asparagus
Charred Broccolini
Charred Peppers
and a couple glasses of their house wine, which happens to be Duckhorn Cabernet....
Meet some really interesting people as well

Seagoville, Texas just outside of Dallas. Been several times before 1994.
Last one, I promise:

In or near Irving, Texas. I’ve been to the ones near Chicago and Detroit.
Sounds great
It is SooooooOOOOO Good
The golden era of food in my lifetime was in the Reagan era.
There still are people that know how to cook:

If looking for a restaurant nowadays, I would look to a busy place with a substantial percentage of older people.
I do remember a time about 15 years ago when restaurants were suffering badly and a busy place was often not to be found.
Probably my favorite restaurant in Texas is The Old German Bakery & Restaurant in Fredericksburg.
