Brisket, Beaver Nuggets and the Beautiful Game

2026/06/26

The restaurant carousel keeps spinning — we say goodbye to Sevy's and Mija BBQ while welcoming La Lupita and Walkers' to the D-FW scene. Then the World Cup takes over: international visitors have been flooding our social feeds, and for some reason, Buc-ee's has become a must-stop pilgrimage for soccer fans from across the globe. And Sarah can't stop thinking about Freddy — the viral German superfan who's stolen hearts (and algorithms) everywhere he goes. Is he a genuine one-of-a-kind character, or the most brilliant marketing stunt the sport has ever seen?

Road Trip, Fork First

2026/06/19

Summer is here, and the Eat Drink D-FW crew is feeling the urge to roam. This week, the team shares their favorite food cities to visit — and trust us, a few of these picks will catch you off guard. From hidden regional gems to the usual suspects with a twist, we're breaking down what makes a city worth the trip when great food is the whole point. Whether you're planning a summer getaway or just daydreaming at your desk, this one's packed with inspiration.

Where to Eat and Drink During the World Cup

2026/06/13

The World Cup is coming to North Texas, and we've got the ultimate insider's guide for visitors. The Eat Drink D-FW crew breaks down the restaurants, bars, and neighborhoods worth seeking out — from hidden gems to beloved staples. We also asked our listeners for their picks, and let's just say the results were... illuminating. (Yes, someone said Hard Rock Cafe. We discussed.)

All about barbecue

2026/06/05

BBQ is serious business in Texas — and the Eat Drink D-FW crew is taking it seriously. We dig into the best spots to find great barbecue across the Metroplex, break down how to order and eat it like a local, and make the case that "moist" is not a dirty word. We also shine a light on one of the most compelling stories in Texas food culture: the high school students across the state who've turned competitive BBQ into a full-blown sport. Pull up a chair. Grab some napkins.

Opening Night and Chain Reactions

2026/05/29

Dallas has a new restaurant worth talking about — and we're talking about it. This week we dig into the highly anticipated opening of Oloyo, plus a visit to Alma Cafe. Then things get a little chaotic in the best way: food writer Sarah Blaskovich breaks down her deep dive into just how many chain restaurants call D-FW home. Spoiler: it's a lot. We also heard from you — the chains you wish would finally show up in North Texas. Some answers were surprising. Some were very, very not.

What's a Meal Worth?

2026/05/22

How much is too much to spend on a night out? We tackle that question — then swing to the other end of the spectrum with Blake's Snow Shack, the beloved Sanger institution celebrating 10 years. Plus: the Taco Cone, the Pickle Smoothie, and a conversation with a local caterer about healthier spins on the foods we can't quit.

Dallas Tacos, National Spotlight

2026/05/15

Dallas taco shop Tacos Juancho just got the Bon Appétit bump — and the hosts have thoughts. This week also brings the Stoneleigh renovation, the soft margarita moment that's quietly taken over D-FW drink menus, and a look ahead at Expo Tequila y Mezcal. Plenty to eat, drink and debate.

Best Patios, Netflix Bites and the Chili Crusade

2026/05/08

Summer is almost here and that means it's officially patio season — even if not everyone is thrilled about it. We're breaking down the best patios in D-FW for dining and drinking al fresco, and yes, one of us will admit on the record that patios are overrated. We also have the latest on what Netflix is serving up in the food world, plus a closer look at Theodore's, the new restaurant that's moved into the old Campo Verde space.And then there's the chili situation. Chili's took chili off the menu and our listeners have feelings. Big feelings. We read some of the emails you sent in — including one man's surprisingly well-thought-out campaign to bring it back. His ideas? Actually pretty good.

Cereal at a Dessert Shop, Bagels You Can't Get, Bakeries That Aren't Maman

2026/05/01

What's a botanero? Great question — we had to look it up too, and now we're obsessed. This week we're breaking down a new spot that's making us rethink how we snack, plus a dessert shop that decided ice cream and cereal belong together (they're not wrong). Sarah B. stumbled onto a new bagel spot that's already too hot to handle, and because we believe in balance, we're pushing back on the Maman takeover with something better: our team's ride-or-die local bakeries. Support local. Eat carbs. You're welcome.
