Episode 197 of Your Dark Companion welcomes back one of our favorite recurring guests — Sarah Blaskovich, food writer for the Dallas Morning News — for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving Dallas-Fort Worth restaurant scene.
From the rise of upscale Mediterranean dining to the buzz around Delilah’s glamorous supper club experience, Sarah breaks down what’s trending, what’s opening, and what might struggle in 2026.
We cover:
Why Mediterranean cuisine is suddenly everywhere in Dallas
The hype (and vibe) behind Delilah in the Design District
Jason Garrett’s new Italian venture, Café Luca
Tiffany Derry’s upcoming sports bar concept in Grand Prairie
Why restaurants could face serious economic challenges in 2026
The reality of food pricing, rent spikes, and razor-thin margins
Plus, Sarah shares insight into how she approaches food journalism ethically — yes, she pays for her meals — and why covering restaurants is more like breaking news than you might think.
If you care about food, business, Dallas culture, or just want to know where to eat next — this episode is for you.
