Sip and savor the season’s best in culture, food and fun CUISINE SCENE

In Good Taste Innovative, multicultural and dynamic, the dining scene in Dallas-Fort Worth is a flavorful microcosm of the region itself. Here’s what Texas tastemakers are dishing out right now. BY JAIMIE SIEGLE

Street’s Fine Chicken

FACING PAGE: ©KEVIN MARPLE. THIS PAGE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: COURTESY WHEELHOUSE; ©SCOUT AND BRIAR; ©KATHY TRAN; ©KEVIN MARPLE

They say if you don’t like the weather in North Texas, just wait a few minutes—it’ll change. The same can be said of the Dallas dining climate, which may or may not play in a restaurant’s favor, depending what patrons determine is “in” or “out” at the time. On the one hand, the fair-weathered fanfare can generate some substantial buzz, but it can also be potentially detrimental if said buzz doesn’t remain after the initial hype begins to fade. On the other hand, it’s always interesting to see what the movers, shakers and upand-coming chefs can drum up with some applied pressure and a little imagination. This summer, the restaurant scene is heating up as much as the temperatures. Here, we highlight the dining trends and new concepts offering a unique atmospheres as well as creative gourmet dishes and bar menus. From fresh, coastal flavors and healthconscious creations to succulent steaks, you’ll find it these tastefully Texan restaurants. Dig in.

Wheelhouse

Street’s Fine Chicken

North Italia

Spirit of the South If there’s any cooking style that’s always in season, it’s that of the Southern persuasion. Restaurants serving up innovative spins on the region’s rich, creamy cuisine guarantee the familiar comforts of dishes like chicken fried steak, macaroni and cheese and bread pudding. The new Junction Craft Kitchen in Deep Ellum bills itself as a Southern-style neighborhood bistro with an Asian twist. The well-crafted menu features fun, creative éntrees like Shrimp & Octopus Agua Chile Ceviche and Boudin Po Bao, where Vietnamese flavors meet New Orleans. The family behind Street’s Fine Chicken comes from a legacy of Southern restaurants, so it’s no surprise the Oak Lawn eatery has garnered a following locally (it will

open a second location later this year). Belly up to the bar at Grayson Social if you’re downtown, where the interior is contemporary and inviting. Sip craft cocktails spiked with a touch of class, and indulge in those fluffy biscuits.

Going Green

Despite the bounty of deep-fried Southern cuisine and Tex-Mex here, the area has welcomed a variety of dining concepts catering to health-conscious patrons. The growing trend toward clean eating and fast-casual fare that’s actually fresh is nothing new; in fact, DallasFort Worth boasts many homegrown eateries (Cosmic Cafe, Spiral Diner and Mud Hen Meat & Greens, for example) that remain go-to locales for vegan- and vegetarian- friendly cuisine. A recent addition to the Park Cities neighborhood, Flower Child is the affluent enclave’s latest healthy hot spot. Salads, protein bowls, avocado toast and seasonal juices (rotated daily) look and taste as colorful as the the bright, sizeable interior. True Food Kitchen has expanded its North Texas presence with an outpost in the Shops at Legacy West in Plano. West Dallas foodie destination Trinity Groves welcomed V-Eats, a modern vegan restaurant known for creative and flavorful plant-based dishes, from “brisket” to bread pudding.

Raising the Steaks

A generation of pubs and steakhouses is having its moment: Chef/restaurateur Nick Badovinus’ latest endeavor Town Hearth offers exquisite fine dining in an opulent, decked-out space; go big or go home is the theme here. Likewise, Corrientes 348, the city’s first Argentinian steakhouse, hails from Buenos Aires and promises a unique and interactive experience. Deep Ellum’s Japanese barbecue eatery Niwa is more than just good food, too. Here, guests cook strips of wagyu and high-quality meats over an open grill at their table, making communal, upscale dining both authentic and fun. For sophisticated, chef-prepared cuisine with a more casual vibe, enter the modern gastropub. In this category, Wheelhouse takes the cake for this season’s local favorite. Open daily and for weekend brunch, the Design District hangout serves “elevated pub fare”—think burgers, housemade sausage, mussels and craft beer—that’s casual, but not too casual. And since it’s still a pub, Wheelhouse’s beverage menu doesn’t disappoint; plus, it’s got TVs and ample patio space to watch a game.

Italian Influences

The swanky and sleek Sassetta (Wheelhouse’s sister concept), the arrival of which was met

14 W H E R E D A L L A S - F O R T W O R T H I J U LY / AU G U S T 2017

with much local excitement) joins a wave of contemporary Italian eateries popping up around town as of late. While eateries like Dolce Riviera, Pie Tap Pizza Workshop + Bar, Plano’s North Italia and Sprezza are also at the forefront of the Italian culinary trend, each concept lends itself to a different occasion. At Sprezza, for example, the focus is on authentic food and wine from Italy’s Southern region. When it comes to date night, Dolce Riviera has mastered the airy, romantic ambience; it’s probably the closest one can get to Amalfi Coast in the heart of Uptown. At Pie Tap, homemade pastas and pizzas are paired with a cocktail menu created by one of Dallas’ best bartenders. Throw in the fact that they’ll deliver and you’re guaranteed to spruce up your next tiresome pizza night. Not sure what to order? Treat your tastebuds and order either the bucatini with chicken meatballs or the prosciutto pizza. With charming design touches that include a subtle hat tip to the iconic Harry’s Bar in Venice, Sassetta is a modern interpretation of the quintessential neighborhood café in Europe: Al fresco dining areas, an artisan coffee bar and fresh, “California-style” interpretations of classic Italian fare. The result is a restaurant with a genuine feel—and an identity that’s far from pretentious yet still cosmopolitan and cool.

A few blocks away at the Neiman Marcus flagship store awaits the Zodiac (1618 Main St., 214.741.6911) a tradition for the city’s most stylish. (Pro tip: Don’t even think about passing on the complimentary popovers and strawberry butter.) Finally, head to the Knox district near SMU for an intimate lunch tucked inside Grange Hall (4445 Travis St., 214.443.5175), one of Dallas’ most fascinating and well-edited bespoke boutiques. The flatware, along with everything else on your table, is for sale if you happen to like what you see. Order the snob sandwich, and opt to have it extra snobby (translation: extra caviar).

[WHERE INSIDE]

My Dallas-Fort Worth

[Owner/pit master, Pecan Lodge] As the owners of a catering business, Justin and Diane Fourton opened a barbecue stand at the Dallas Farmers Market in 2010, and long lines to sample their fare soon followed them.When the Fourtons were forced to close the stand in 2013 because of new market ownership, they decided to dig deeply into their savings well and open their own restaurant in Deep Ellum. A wise investment that would become: Since opening in 2014, Pecan Lodge has been consistently voted among the top three barbecue spots in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Pecan Lodge’s beef brisket, smoked for up to 18 hours in an offset pit, draws many of the raves, but other menu items prove popular, too. Some members of your party aren't hankering for barbecue, you say? Direct them to the menu’s Southern fried chicken, which also has gotten its fair share of reviewers’ attention. Want something different than traditional ’cue? Try Diane’s invention, the "Hot Mess," a mixture of shredded brisket, cheese, bacon, chipotle sour cream and green onions, all atop a 20-ounce sweet potato. The menu at Pecan Lodge is a combination of cooking styles and family recipes from both of the Fourtons’ grandparents; the spot’s name comes from Justin’s grandfather’s ranch near Abilene. We recently asked Justin about his cooking style and how to prepare the beloved Texas brisket. Here's what he had to say. —Jay Bemis 56 W H E R E D A L L A S - F O R T W O R T H I J U LY / AU G U S T 2 017

How long do you smoke your brisket, and what other cooking tips might you give to someone who’s a novice at smoking brisket? What about cooking times or tips for someone who’s a novice at smoking both ribs and sausage links? Our brisket cooks for 15 to 18 hours, depending on their size and how many briskets we’re cooking on the pit at the same time. The cooking time for someone using a backyard pit will be faster, likely in the 10- to 12-hour time frame. Regardless of what someone is cooking—brisket, ribs, sausage, etc.—the main thing is to be patient and not try to rush the cooking process. Be sure to leave plenty of time for your food [to] cook: It’s better to have it finish a little early and keep it warm in the oven or a cooler than to take it off

too soon. If you plan to eat at 6 p.m., try to time your cooking to finish around 4 or 5 p.m. The extra resting time will actually help improve the quality of large cuts like brisket and pork butts. Why do many customers crave burnt ends? Burnt ends are a special cut of meat that is highly marbled, extra smoky and glazed with our barbecue sauce. They are only available in limited quantities and usually sell out fast. What makes Texas barbecue different or more special than other types of barbecue, such as Carolina or Kansas City style? Texas barbecue is unique from other regions of the country in its emphasis on beef, as opposed to pork. While you can find barbecue sauce in most Texas barbecue joints, it’s

typically viewed as being optional—whereas, in other parts of the country, the sauce is one of the signature items of a place. What do you think sets your brisket apart from the competition? Have the traditions handed down from your grandparents been the chief factor? I think our focus on quality and authenticity is what sets ours apart. Using traditional-style pits that don’t rely on a thermostat to control the temperature, but on an actual pit master monitoring the fire and making adjustments, is critical. The cooking environment changes daily with the weather and a dozen other factors that just can’t be accounted for in a commercialized pit. Discover more at
