Eat Drink D-FW

It’s pumpkin spice latte time! Yes, it’s still August, but the Dallas Morning News Food team discusses why hot coffee is still a must for some. Then they dive into the wild State Fair food winners of 2023 (what’s new on a stick?), and where to get affordable sushi in D-FW. But what to make for dinner? The team has some shortcut ideas on everything from fresh ravioli to ramen to Jennifer Garner’s salad.

The Dallas Morning News food team discusses the popular new Netflix documentary Poisoned, which shines a light on big gaps in U.S. food safety regulations. Are we really doomed, or is there anything we can do to keep from getting sick? Then stick around for lighter fare, like the top fried foods to try at the 2023 State Fair of Texas, fun new restaurants, and why one Dallas restaurant owner doesn’t want his customers smelling like weed.

If there’s a weird new food on the market, the Dallas Morning News food team will try it. So they ordered the mustard-flavored Skittles from the candy’s new partnership with French’s. Listen as they give their first impressions (which might involve a spit cup). Then stick around for fun restaurant news, from a new Fort Worth sotol distillery to breakfast trends to the - gasp - decline in Whataburger quality. You’ll also hear about the best things the team ate this summer, including Cuban cuisine, an orangesicle cake, tinned fish, and the most perfect chocolate chip cookie.

Girl dinner? Grimace shake? Barbiecore? This has been the summer of viral food trends, and The Dallas Morning News food team weighs in on which ones they love or hate. Or both. Then the team tackles the latest Dallas restaurant news, from a new Knox Street spendy spot with throwback vibes to a “glammy grammy” bagel shop in East Dallas and a Mexican restaurant in Lewisville that sells tortillas by the kilo.
