Dallas: Angry Dog Serves Rough-Edged Burgers With Some Rough Edges
Twisted Root is overrated. Try the newly opened Stackhouse near Baylor; it is pretty good. But my top Dallas burger joints are:
- Milo Butterfingers
- Dairyette
- Bob's Home
- Smoke
-The Grape
-Whataburger

Chain Reaction: Applebee's Cowboy Burger
Those fries look like they came from Sysco Food - awful !

The Burger Lab: What's The Best Bun For My Burger?
You should have included Friehoffer's.

The Burger Lab: What's The Best Bun For My Burger?
I live in TX (home to Whole Foods) and have never seen that packaging before. Are you sure you have the correct product placement?
That doesn't appear to be the traditional WF 365 brand
The Burger Lab: What's The Best Bun For My Burger?
+1
on Omnomnon's commet about Market Pantry (which I think is a very good brand overall).
Taste Test: Local New York Milk
You should have included the wonderful Welsh Farms brand; their fat free tastes like most others whole milk.....

BTW; on my last plane trip in/out of Newark airport my AA flight had Welsh Farms milk which was pretty impressive. It meant that they were sourcing quality local providers !!
My Pie Monday: Boar Sausage, Buffalo Chicken, Deep Dish and More!
@ Gregg; thanks for those tips; deep dish is my next pizza assignment.
My Pie Monday: Boar Sausage, Buffalo Chicken, Deep Dish and More!
Nice Pies Guys and Gals. I was especially drooling over Gregg's deep dish with serious looking sauce.
My Pie Monday: Arugula, Mushrooms, a Deep-Fried Pie, Chimichanga Pizza(?!?), and More
Nice Pies Everyone !
Thanks for sharing.
In-N-Out's Texas Expansion Featured in the Latest Issue of 'D Magazine'
Haven't read the articles; but been to In n Out and don't think it warrants all the hype. but it will do well in Dallas which loves all things trendy regardless of quality.
And Twisted Root Burger is the perfect example; it's owner Jason Bosso is a serious self promoter who the local food editors drool over, promoting TRB beyond reason.
Video: Bison Farming on Long Island
Support bringing the wild bison back to the American Great Prairies....
Serious Salad: Julia Child's Vinaigrette Dressing
I am amazed that your ingredients list doesn't have the key ingredient...OIL! You also do not address what kind of oil.....
The Pizza Lab: Which Rack Should I Put My Stone On?
I cooked one pie (using the CI dough) on a stone in the top and one pie on a stone set nearer the bottom. Everything else was the same - temperature and toppings.
I definetly preferred the results from the bottom pie. It was in the oven less time, had better burning, and better taste to me.
My Pie Monday: Japanese Pizza, Pecan Crust, and More!
@esny, I love the salty+sweet combo of a pepperoni/pineapple pie....and like your "charred" effect.....will use canned whole rings next time.
My Pie Monday: Japanese Pizza, Pecan Crust, and More!
@adam. I used fresh pineapple this time..put them on half way though the process (500 degree oven) and they got tough and flavorless. It was a bummer....canned is the way to go I guess?
My Pie Monday: Japanese Pizza, Pecan Crust, and More!
Nice pies everybody.
@adam. I made a pineapple/pepperoni pie this weekend. But the pineapples got hardened in the process of cooking. when do you top w/pineapples?
The Food Lab: All-American Eggplant Parmesan
I love egg plant parm; but have never had any luck making the dish myself. Instead it is one of those few dinners that I prefer to get at a restaurant (take out or eat in). In fact I am currently in love with the eggplant parm at Bucca Di Beppe - everybody moan now !
It is actually good. Their sauce to cheese to egg plant ratio is just the way I like it. And they actually obtain a slight burnt sweetness to the egg plant.
A Sandwich a Day: Smoked Meat at Schwartz's Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen
Gazing at that delicious pile of smoked briket. I am having a "Homer" moment.
This Week in 'New York Times' Food News
The NYTs list of Dallas places to try for super bowl eating is weak.
Notably no pizza or hamburger places got mentioned.
Mac's BBQ in old east dallas, got an impressive, and well deserved, 2-paragraph shout-out for their outstanding brisket and other smoked items. Overall it was a disappointing list of very predictable choices that Sam Sifton tried.
