Dallas, TX - 10 best foods (test)

Today we are going to introduce the ultimate list of 10 must-have foods for every Dallas site.

1. Food name: Brisket

Recommended restaurant: Pecan Lodge http://www.yelp.com/biz/pecan-lodge-dallas-3
Area:Deep Ellum
 There are many varieties of barbecue all over the country, but nothing beats a Texas-style brisket slow smoked for eight hours.Texas is known for good BBQ, but Pecan Lodge is the holy grail of BBQ. Be sure to bring some water for the wraparound lines on the weekends.

2. 240-day dry-aged ribeye

Mockingbird Station
Exec Chef John Tesar doesn’t do anything half-assed, but he will take half a year to age this buttery cut of steak so rich, it’s sold by the inch. Bring your favorite sugar daddy/mama to indulge in this limited-edition entrée.

3. Whiskey Cake

If you’re going to order a dessert here, or anywhere for that matter, ordering the one that the whole dang restaurant is named after is probably a fairly safe bet. There is a lot you could say about this, but, in short, it’s a perfectly moist toffee tort that is topped with bourbon anglaise, spiced pecans, and as much house-made whipped cream as your arteries will allow you to have. It is about as close to perfect as a dessert can come with all of its different textures and flavor profiles.
 

4. Quatros Leches Cake

This milk-soaked dessert comes in a super-decadent square that just begs for an accompanying cup of joe. Although it’ll have you wondering why you ordered such a big entrée, you won’t regret finishing every bite nonetheless.      

5. Chicken-fried steak

Bubba’s Cooks Country http://www.yelp.com/biz/bubbas-cooks-country-dallas
Park Cities
This old-fashioned Southern food joint gets raves for its incredible fried chicken, but the epic chicken-fried steak, always served piping hot, deserves major culinary kudos, too.
 

6. Sweet potato casserole

The Slow Bone http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-slow-bone-dallas-2
Design District
In a world (read: Texas) where brisket is all anyone seems to talk about at BBQ joints, it’s refreshing to find a spot that not only has amazing meats, but sets the same standards for its sides as well. The sweet potato casserole at The Slow Bone is a destination-worthy side, which is rare in the BBQ game. 

7. Shrimp & grits

Hattie’s http://www.yelp.com/biz/hatties-restaurant-dallas
Bishop Arts
It used to be you had to travel to New Orleans to get really good shrimp & grits, but not no mo’. Hattie’s kills this dish, and all you have to do is travel about 10 minutes south of Dallas.
 

8. Country Breakfast

Norma’s Café http://www.yelp.com/biz/normas-cafe-dallas-4

Breakfast doesn’t get more Texan than when you can chow down on a mammoth hunk of chicken-fried steak alongside eggs and hash browns. You should feel quite like Big Tex once you’re done.

9. Honey Bastard

​Jay Jerrier of Cane Rosso and Zoli’s is a marketing mastermind; he pitted his two pizza spots against one another and threatened to charge $1,000 for a side of ranch. He also makes the best piece of pizza in Dallas. For the Honey Bastard, they take their already amazingly chewy and flavorful dough, add cheese, then top it with  hot soppressata (a spicy Italian cured meat, similar to pepperoni), bacon jam, and then douse it with habanero honey.
 

10. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes

No, it’s not the name of a new Dallas “breastaurant,” but it is one of the best fried chicken joints in town. Sure, there are other items on the menu, but what you want is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and biscuits. You live in the South, act like it for once.
