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…

BreadWINNER

I’m completely shocked that I haven’t been eating at Bread Winners Cafe everyday since my big move to Dallas. I was blown away by the Jalapeño BLT. I know what you are thinking, this girl has a BLT problem. You are correct, I can’t get enough of the perfect combination of Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato…especially…

Ellen’s Strikes Again!

Another unbelievable meal at Ellen’s Southern Kitchen! It took every hunger pain in my stomach not to order the Pork Tinga Tacos (they are amazing!) because my life goal IS to try every great meal in the world. Thank goodness I did! I found yet another delicious breakfast dish: Poached Eggs & Grits (see below).…

The “Kit’s” Solution

My love of cornbread has now been exercised to the fullest. Kit’s Kornbread Sandwich & Pie Bar took my lunch to a whole other level by offering a BLT sandwich on their jalapeño cornbread. Picture this: bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheddar cheese on fresh baked cornbread infused with jalapeno’s, accompanied by a fresh broccoli Salad…

The Scarecrow

One of my weaknesses, besides food in general, is ordering the “special”. The taco of the month at Torchy’s Tacos in October was The Scarecrow. The Scarecrow: Pumpkin seed breaded chicken tenders with roasted poblano peppers, then topped with escabeche carrots, queso fresco, cilantro and creamy chipolte ranch – Served on a flour tortilla. I mean,…

Fedora, Fedora

I’ve never felt so much joy before, during and especially after a meal as I did when I went for lunch at Fedora. The atmosphere of Fedora makes you feel like you’ve left the decade and are in for a treat. My meal started with Bruschetta, one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The toasted…
