Show notes

Grab your grub to go this week as we explore a lot of food on wheels. Listen as food editor Erin Booke talks about the new Dallas food truck rules with Dallas Morning News city government reporter Everton Bailey Jr., then chats with Deah Berry Mitchell about the relaunch of the Soul of DFW food and Black history bus tours, and why oral history is so important to learning about Black food culture. And for a special bonus, Texas Monthly Taco Editor José Ralat stops by to talk about “why there’s no better place to be eating Mexican food than in Texas right now,” and how Dallas fits into that. (We definitely need more puffy tacos.)

Restaurant news, ‘college kid coffee’ and favorite junk food snacks Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Move aside, Starbucks, “college kid coffee” is taking over North Texas. Listen as food editor Erin Booke and food reporters Sarah Blaskovich and Claire talk about this new coffee shop trend along with other popular drink stuff we’re seeing, like non-alcoholic bar programs (and, by the way, why smoothies are not mocktails). Sarah also talks about why people love - and will miss - Herrera’s Cafe, the backstory behind Hard Eight BBQ paying money back to its employees, and how one restaurateur is helping refugees from Ukraine. Plus, we talk about our favorite junk foods, and why mac and cheese and Hot Cheetos might be the best combo ever.

Then, meet our producer, Nataly Keomoughnkhoun! She shares her food origin story of growing up in a Laotian family, and how her mom’s food made her popular with her teachers.

The best sandwiches in North Texas. Plus, Alligator corn dogs at the ballpark? Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

Dallas Morning News food editor Erin Booke talks with contributing food writer Nick Rallo about one of our favorite foods: sandwiches. And no, that doesn’t mean hot dogs. That’ll be another episode. Nick discusses the elements of a great sandwich and where to get the best ones in North Texas. Then we go on a field trip to Globe Life Field in Arlington with food writer Sarah Blaskovich and Rangers reporter Evan Grant as they sample new food at the Texas Rangers games, from alligator corn dogs (tastes like chicken) to vegan chicken salad sandwich (amazingly, also tastes like chicken.)

Why are Dallas restaurants so expensive right now? Plus, we're doing menus wrong Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

In our debut Eat Drink D-FW episode, food editor Erin Booke and food reporters Sarah Blaskovich and Claire Ballor talk about the biggest restaurant news of the week — from crazy menu prices to big Fort Worth moves — before diving in to what’s trending on the food scene this year. What’s in? Excess and flashy restaurants (so very Dallas, but also, kind of a conundrum), and why we love simpler menus. What’s out? You take a guess. (It rhymes with Bot Thicken.) Then Sarah meets up with Texas Rangers insider Evan Grant at Loro in East Dallas to talk about why they always order way too much food.

Show notes
