Travels: Food of Dallas!

Drew bought me tickets to The Killers concert for my bday. This doesn’t sound like THAT big of a deal, but seeing them was, by far, my #1 bucket list item. And we got front row. It was the best night of my life. Really, the best show I’ve ever seen. If you ever get a chance to see The Killers, do it.

Anyway, we decided to make a long weekend out of it to enjoy Dallas, so  here’s the summary of all the food we had while we were there.

(Click on the titles to read the specific reviews of the following places we ate at.)

Empa Mundo

We started here with a late Friday dinner. It was one of the best meals we had all weekend.

Nammi and the Dallas Farmer’s Market

Saturday we started the day by heading to the Dallas Farmer’s market and eating an amazing Banh Mi!

Crushcraft Thai Street Food

For a late lunch, we then hit up this fantastic Thai place!

For Sunday’s breakfast, we strolled down downtown Grapevine and stopped in The Main Street Bakery.

I got a chocolate almond croissant for less than $2.50. It was delicious!
The inside was full of almond paste, which is perfectly sweet, and one of my favorite flavors. Though, the chocolate was neither overridden by the almond nor did it override it. The flavors worked really well together and made a melty, gooey, middle with a perfectly flaky, buttery crust. YUM.

    

In-N-Out

For Sunday’s lunch, we finally tried In-N-Out and I directly compared it to the East Coast’s Shake Shack in this review.

On our drive home, we stopped by the popular Fuzzy’s Taco shop. It is a chain, but one we don’t have in central Arkansas, and I felt like some tacos.

The chips and salsa, $2, was very good! The chips were seasoned and fresh, and the salsa was full of roasted, pepper-y goodness. Definitely a must-get here.

However, the tacos was pretty awful. I asked for no cheese, and they also kept any sauces off…not cool. I wanted that garlic aioli on my tacos! So, I tried a pork taco, a stead taco, and a fish one. The grilled fish was inedible. One bite and it tasted as if it had gone bad. So, we didn’t even try that one again.
The other two were good enough to eat, but pretty dry.
I would NOT recommend going to the Fuzzy Taco Shop, unless you’re getting chips and salsa to go.
