Dallas: 9 Enchiladas We Love
Dallas loves its Tex-Mex and there's perhaps no greater dish that illustrates the philosophy behind the hybrid Mexican and American styles of cooking than the enchilada. There seem to be as many Tex-Mex places in Dallas as there are people, so whittling it down to just nine was a tall task. Nonetheless, these are some of our favorite examples of the versatility, creativity and history the enchilada can capture.10 Best Vegetarian Foods at the Texas State Fair
It can be difficult finding vegetarian or vegan fare, but that's actually not the case at the State Fair of Texas. While the midway and food court are chock full of corn dogs, deep-fried burgers, and mystery meats on a stick, they have plenty of meat-free options, a few are even healthy.A Sandwich a Day: The Sausage And Pepper at Il Cane Rosso in Dallas
They take their pizza seriously at Il Cane Rosso in Dallas, but that doesn't mean the VPN-certified pizzeria doesn't make a mean sandwich too. When the Cane Rosso team comes in every morning, they cook their sandwich bread (made from their same pizza dough) at 500°F before firing up the oven to the scorching 900°F pizza temperature to toast the bread, giving it that crispy, slightly charred outside.A Sandwich a Day: Tex-Mex Reuben at Mr. G's in Plano, TX
It's not really a Reuben. In fact, even calling it a Tex-Mex Reuben is a little misleading: there's no pastrami or corned beef and it contains no sauerkraut. No, this sandwich is not a Reuben of any sort! But at least they kept the rye and the Russian dressing. The Tex-Mex Reuben ($6.99) at Mr. G's Beverage and Deli is a grilled beast of beef and pepper.NFL Playoffs Serious Eats-Style: Which Food Cities Rule Off the Field?
We'll let the players settle football bragging rights on the field, but we can judge which city reigns supreme when it comes to serious vittles. So without further adieu, here's the NFL playoffs, Serious Eats style.Chef Siblings: Beyond the BroVos
[Photograph: Bravo] The rise of Top Chef's Voltaggio brothers has gotten me thinking about other prominent chef siblings. The stoic, talented BroVos have just launched a blog and in a few post-Top Chef interviews they've mentioned the possibility of working together in the future. Have other chef sibs succeeded in business together? Definitely. Bob and David Kinkead Bob's a well-known chef based in Washington D.C., David in Massachusetts—already they have a 5-year-old Boston restaurant called Sibling Rivalry. Too bad they got their hands on that name before the Voltaggios. Nothing could be more fitting after their intense neck-in-neck competition in Vegas. The Kinkeads' menu concept is interesting: it showcases dueling interpretations of each ingredient. For example, David's duck entree:...Matt Martinez Jr., 'King of Tex-Mex,' 63
Will van Overbeek/Houston Press Matt Martinez Jr., the "King of Tex-Mex," died on Friday. He was 63. Martinez and his family owned the Dallas restaurants Matt's Rancho Martinez and Matt's No Place as well as a stake in Matt's El Rancho in Austin, the restaurant his father founded. Robb Walsh, on his embrace of the term: Matt Jr. was attending a cooking class taught by Englishwoman Diana Kennedy, who spoke derisively of Americanized Mexican food."She said she only did authentic Mexican food, not Tex-Mex," Martinez fumed in the introduction to his book [Matt Martinez's Culinary Frontier]. "I was so insulted." To defy Kennedy and those who belittled his heritage, he decided to abandon any claim to "authentic Mexican" and...Deep-Fried Coke at the State Fair of Texas
State Fairs prove that you can deep fry anything your heart desires. Video blogger Sarah McColl of Pink of Perfection visited the State Fair of Texas and reports on its stomach ache-inducing culinary delights, including deep-fried Coke. The dessert consists of deep-fried Coke-flavored batter nuggets topped with Coke syrup and whipped cream. "If you like funnel cakes, you'll like this," says Sarah. Deep-fried coke was created by Abel Gonzales Jr. You can watch a video of him making it on The Today Show.
