On Your Mark, Get Set….

From the minute I moved to Dallas, friends and co-workers have been telling me to check out Maple & Motor. After weeks of seeing it on my long list of places to eat at, and drooling as I carefully looked over the menu, I finally made it in! The cheeseburger was juicy and pink, cooked…

Komali.

One of the finest meals I’ve had while living in Dallas came from Komali. From the atmosphere to the margaritas to the salmon cooked to perfection, I was thoroughly impressed and am eager to go back and try other menu items. This upscale contemporary Mexican  restaurant doesn’t give you your typical Texas Tex-Mex options of…

The Dallas Time Machine

The downtown Dallas restaurant scene continues to amaze me. The Woolworth transformed me back to Chicago in the 1940s. While I was drinking my beer, and watching the people scurry past as I watched from my table one the second floor the aroma from the kitchen continued to enhance my excitement about the meal I…

The Game Changer

This BLT completely blew my mind and all my tastebuds. I didn’t think it was possible to find a sandwich so incredibly delicious that it seeps into ones thoughts and dreams on an hourly basis. Oddfellows in the Bishop Arts District really outdid themselves. Just take a look at the picture below for a few…

Give me LIBERTY!

What a fantastic dining experience! From the food, to the people to the atmosphere to the delicious special mustard, I was thoroughly impressed, and absolutely satisfied with my dining experience. I ordered the Liberty Burger, (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard or mayonnaise) and I added avocado. Mmmm, mmmm….it was delicious! The burgers are made the…

A Platter fit for a King

If you are looking for a “little bit of everything” appetizer platter, look no further than Sol Irlandes on Main Street. This appetizer platter has it all: Chicken Quesadillas, Empanadas, Tostadas, loaded nachos and a large tortilla bowl filled with Queso. This huge serving is great for 4-6 people to get in the mood for…

HOP right in!

What an unbelievable burger experience!! Everyone must try Hopdoddy in Dallas! The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is superb! When you arrive, there is usually a line (great sign of great food!) and you must stand in this line that takes you right to the kitchen. That is when you place your order and…

Quite the BELT buster…

The addiction continues. I found yet another great BLT in the Dallas area. I know what you are all thinking, I should probably change the name of this blog to Seize the BLT, but when I see the glorious combination of Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato on the menu I really can’t resist. Now, this B(E)LT…

Angry Dog, Happy Girl!

Who wouldn’t order a burger with accolades like this?! “Best Burger in DFW,” Dallas Morning News, 2012 and 2013. “Dallas’ Best Burger,” Dallas Observer, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2010. “Dallas’ Best,” D Magazine, 2006. This half-pound of the highest-quality ground beef, cooked to order, with your choice of mustard or mayo (or both), served with red…

The Chef’s Favorite

Phrases like, “Limited time only”, “Newly added!” and especially, “Chef’s Favorite” give me butterflies and excitement beyond your wildest dreams. So it was a no brainer when I went to Christies Sports Bar on McKinney to watch the Chicago Blackhawks win, that I would order the Special Quesadillas (Chef’s Favorite). The picture doesn’t do this…
