The Dazzling World of Dallas Food
3230 Camp Bowie Boulevard, Suite 150 in Fort Worth
It is worth the trip to Fort Worth to eat at Duro Hospitality’s latest restaurant: It’s smaller inside than expected but just as chicly designed as all the rest. It was hard to pick just one dish to highlight from the meal. The oysters on the half shell with a Spanish mignonette, prawns over avocado and Kashimiri cocktail sauce, and a special appetizer with applewood smoked pork belly were all stellar. So was the butter chicken pie, which is a mix between a savory hand pie and butter chicken.
Musume is doing a seasonal omakase service to benefit Booker T. Washington High School, and it brought the students in on it. Along with your meal comes an illustrated guide to each dish, with art throughout.
7110 Main Street in Frisco
This James Beard Foundation-recognized restaurant in Frisco is known for its focus on high-quality local vegetables and meat, as well as its whole-animal program. Now, chef Rich Vana is stepping it up with a tasting menu that he calls Blackland Prairie cuisine, focused on foods from a thin strip of land that runs through northeast Texas and down to the area north of San Antonio. There were, again, so many wonderful dishes that it is hard to pick one, but this take on a pot pie, served atop sweet potato mash with mushrooms from Texas Fungus, was incredible.
Vaqueros BBQ, 965 Garden Park Drive in Allen
We’re not the first to get there and certainly not the last, but these two bites from Vaqueros BBQ deserve a mention. On the right is the barbecue birria taco, loaded with cheese and brisket, and, yes, good enough to make your eyes roll back in your head. On the left is a small bite of the al pastor pork belly burnt ends served with a pineapple salsa, which has a crispy outside and supple interior.
Conclusion
The amount of excellent food available in Dallas is dizzying, yet mediocre meals somehow keep worming their way into our lives. But with the Eater Dallas editor dining out frequently, that means coming across lots of standout dishes and drinks that need to be shared.
