I recently travelled to Dallas, TX for work. Although not overly impressed with the Dallas that I was exposed to, I will say the food was excellent no matter where I went! Here is a taste:
The first stop was Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse. I had the famous slow roasted brisket sandwich with onion rings. That and an iced tea was the daily lunch special for under $8 bucks. The brisket just melted in your mouth! The onion rings were awesome, the breading was like a thin cracker.
I took the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) to a Dallas mall. While walking around I tried this Gelato place. I got a small gelato. You could get up to three flavors in the small cup so I tried the Dulce de Leche, Banana Creme, and Peanut Butter Chocolate. OMG! :)
Mexican at RJ's in Dallas's West End. I had the shrimp and spinach enchiladas. It came with rice and slaw. Excellent!
The Butcher Shop. The fired the steaks in plain view. I had the garlic ribeye with horseradish mashed potatoes. Delicious!
Took the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) one night after class to Mockingbird station and had yummy Mexican here. It was ladies night and we all got our meals for 50% off! I had the chicken flautas with rice and beans. The beans were in a separate dish and I realized that I hadn't taken the picture when I was half done! Oops!
A little post dinner at Coldstone: 1/2 and 1/2 Lemon Ice and Raspberry Ice. Refreshing in the 108 degree heat!
Did NOT eat here but had to show this! Who would eat here? Well if you are over 350 pounds, you can eat here for FREE! Sick!
The last night, I went up the tower that was attached to my hotel. (Hyatt Regency, Union Station) Wolfgang Puck has a restaurant there, 560 feet up in the air. The restaurant, which is Asian Fusion, is in a sphere that completes one full rotation per hour.
I had the following:
Salt and Pepper Calamari
Blackberry Lemonade
Green Bean Appetizer
(The only pic of me in the restaurant and it was taken with an iPhone that didn't have a flash.)
Shanghai Style Prawns (Large shrimp in a tomato bisque with peppers and the most delicious butter bread sticks.)
“Salt and Pepper” Calamari and "Shanghai Style" Prawns.
They brought complementary appetizer and small dessert.
