Whiskey Cake for the Win

It’s been a while since I have eaten somewhere so good that it consumes all my thoughts and creates such a sense of urgency to return immediately. I must say I was thoroughly impressed with Whiskey Cake. From their appetizers to the main dish and especially the Whiskey Cake itself, I couldn’t have orchestrated a…

The Old (yet delicious) Monk

The Old Monk has been on my list since I moved to Dallas last year. I finally went and was pleasantly surprised. First things first, they have great Bloody Mary’s for a great price ($3 on weekends). I was going back and forth between the breakfast tacos, the Fish and Chips and the Chipotle-Avocado Chicken…

The Best Kind of Sugar

Mexican Sugar definitely lived up to the hype – what a fun restaurant! I have to start with the atmosphere…there is a huge bar, lounge areas fully equip with comfy couches, high tops, and large booths and tables. This place is really good for any occasion…girls night out, first date, family dinner or in my…

A Fish Lovers Dream

Another Dallas gem! This place is unbelievable. You feel like you are in a fish market when you walk, minus the smell. It’s a long restaurant with a chalk wall on one side listing all the specials, drinks and desserts which change twice daily. I was torn between the Mahi-Mahi and salmon, and because the…

Not-So-Wimpy Salad

I’ve eaten at Dickey’s a few times since moving to Texas. Overall it does the trick to satisfy the BBQ cravings. I wouldn’t say it is the best in the area, but I’m never disappointed. I usually get the brisket sandwich and it is delicious, but on my last trip there I got the Smokehouse…

Ernie know’s best…

One of the first facts I learned about the great city of Dallas was that the Kardashians loved eating at Mi Cocina. And if they like it, well, I must try it out. I finally got my chance to eat there and was very happy with the chips and salsa, which is usually how I rate…

Mello Cafe

Wow!! I was blown away by the food and service at Mello Café downtown Dallas. The brisket sandwich speaks for itself and comes highly recommended. I went twice in one week and ordered the exact same meal. I know what you are thinking, as a food critic I should broaden my horizons…well, just wait until you…

The Twisted Truth…

  I can’t believe I’ve lived in Dallas for 8 months, and within 1 mile, of the Twisted Root and had not enjoyed one of their fabulous burgers. Twisted Root Burger Co. has one of the coolest atmospheres for a burger joint that I have ever been to. The menu is very extensive, however I…

Second Kitchen, First Place….

Folks, I found it. The best burger in the state of Texas, possibly the United States…Just take a look at this masterpiece for a few moments before you continue to read:  I know, I had the same reaction you are having. It’s beautiful. You must order this burger if you are in or near Austin,…
