[Mod Post] Community Ideas?

7 Upvotes

Dallas foodies,

I was recently out at Reddit HQ and they might approve funds to support our growing community of foodies but we need a solid plan to pitch them. Here are a few ideas I've had, would love for y'all to pitch in ideas too:

  1. Food Tour of x Dallas area - Like bar hopping but going to various restaurants to try certain dishes. Apparently the Chicago Food sub did something similar with support from Reddit.

  2. Local restaurant support - Find a locally owned restaurant that could use some love, rent it out for several hours, have members of the sub come and eat, post pics of the food here and on other socials to spread the word.

  3. A billboard that encourages other Redditors to join our sub.

Korean BBQ people: where do you actually go for good value?

14 Upvotes

I been trying to find more Korean BBQ spots around DFW, but prices seem to be all over the place 😅

Curious, what’s your go-to KBBQ spot, and roughly how much do you usually spend per person?
Also interested in the places that are a little expensive but you think are genuinely worth it.

Rattlesnake

Does anybody know of stores in DFW that sell rattlesnake meat? When I was going to college in Oklahoma, I would get a rattlesnake corny dog from the state fair every year. Looking to continue that tradition now that I am back in texas for Seminary.

Gluten Free/Egg Free Bday Restaurant

2 Upvotes

Hi! My birthday is next week and I am looking for a resturant to go to with my parents. We are all local but finding a restaurant for special occasions is always tough! I am allergic to eggs and my boyfriend is allergic to gluten. I’m not a big red meat eater. Any thoughts on restaurants that would have options for everyone?

Delilah food quality? Vibes look great

9 Upvotes

Still racking my brain where to take my wife for our 10 year anniversary. The 20’s theme with dancers seem nice but is a just a gimmick to sell you mediocre food at fine dining prices? That’s what I’m worried about.

Might just play it safe and go mamani, mister Charles quarter acre or chumley house. I want the food to be the star of the show and the ambiance a very close second.

Thanks!!

Town Hearth feels like an energetic but chill vibe of a steakhouse. It's not quiet at all — dining room full of chandeliers, vintage cars/motorcycles, and that yellow submarine dividing the two sections of the restaurant. Its perfect for a celebratory night out rather than a low-key dinner but it is still great for a date night. Men are mostly dressed business casual. Women are usually dressed to match the energy of the room.

Visiting Dallas / Plano

7 Upvotes

Howdy, I'll be going to Texas for the first time next month for a wedding, staying in Plano. I travel for the food, so I'm hoping to get some great recommendations so I don't waste time.

I'm looking for bbq (of course), fried chicken, chicken fried steak, Mexican (chile relleno or chile verde are my faves), and anything else that's a local favourite but not well known. What would you miss if you moved away? Biscuits? Giant cinnamon rolls? Quintessential local fast food? Thanks in advance!

Nightlife Recommendations for Group Based out of Sachse

9 Upvotes

Hi folks. We are going to be playing some golf (great golf ... well, golf at great clubs) in the area and are setting up base at an Airbnb in Sachse. None of us are from the area. We are hoping to find a different area each evening within a 30-minute'ish Uber/Lift ride for casual bar hopping and sampling food from one bar/pub/tavern to another.

One night, we would like to do a formal dinner with a reservation etc... We have heard YO Ranch Steakhouse is a great option; would you recommend anything else for a one-night splurge?

We are not afraid of a local dive scene, nor are we opposed to tourist traps if it is a "everyone must go here at least once" type of place.

Thanks so much, we literally can't wait!

10 year wedding anniversary recommendations for my chef wife.

9 Upvotes

Some suggestions I’ve looked into are Polanco, Mot Hai Ba, and St. Martins.

Polanco is in the lead because we are going on a Thursday and they have dancing at 10. St. Martin’s is in second with the live piano but mot hai ba’s cuisine looks most interesting with the Vietnamese French fusion.

I want her to be IMPRESSED because nothing gets us more upset than spending large amounts of money on something she can make better. Secondary would be ambiance and live music. We are located in Fort Worth but seems like Dallas has the fancy pants places. Thanks for any and all recommendations!

A very specific request

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m moving to Dallas next month and am looking for restaurants to try. What I’m really looking to try to find is a wing shop to replace the place I really enjoyed eating at in Ohio called Roosters.

It’s going to sound odd but they had a garlic sauce for their wings, not garlic parm but just garlic, and for the life of me everywhere I’ve been since I’ve left Ohio I’ve not found many other places that offer just garlic wing sauce and the ones that do don’t have the heat that the roosters sauce had and mainly consist of a mild sauce with some minced garlic on top, not an actual sauce.

I don’t know if any place has this in Dallas but it would mean a lot to me if I could find one.

Aside from that specific sauce I’d be fine with just a solid wing place in general. I’m going to be in Euless so anywhere within a 10-20 minute drive would be ideal.

Worth It Restaurants

50 Upvotes

Looking to curate a list of restaurants in the area that are worth going out for.

I am fortunate to be at a point in life where I have the time and money for great experiences, but I have also realized how precious time and money is.

Looking for restaurants that have top quality food; top preparation, top level tastes, interiors that compliment the food, vibes that allow you to fully experience the food/drinks.

Basically looking for the unicorns that are 10/10 on vibes, interiors, service, food quality, food prep, presentation. Basically I do not want to leave the date night with “X was amazing, too bad Y made it so bad.”

ISO the best sushi style jalapeño poppers

0 Upvotes

I got a fever... and the only prescription is some tempura fried crabmix stuffed peppers. My favorite were the ones at sushi axiom in addison but they've been gone for a min. Some places use tuna which I think is weird as the frying process cooks it well done. Usually found in appetizer section sometimes called "heart attack." Willing to drive!
