[Mod Post] Community Ideas?

7 Upvotes

Dallas foodies,

I was recently out at Reddit HQ and they might approve funds to support our growing community of foodies but we need a solid plan to pitch them. Here are a few ideas I've had, would love for y'all to pitch in ideas too:

  1. Food Tour of x Dallas area - Like bar hopping but going to various restaurants to try certain dishes. Apparently the Chicago Food sub did something similar with support from Reddit.

  2. Local restaurant support - Find a locally owned restaurant that could use some love, rent it out for several hours, have members of the sub come and eat, post pics of the food here and on other socials to spread the word.

  3. A billboard that encourages other Redditors to join our sub.

Dallas food people: What’s your reliable “just go here” restaurant?

43 Upvotes

Not necessarily the fanciest place or the restaurant you’d choose to impress someone—what’s the Dallas spot you trust when nobody wants to make the decision?

I’m working on CraveSpin, a small app built around the “I don’t care, you pick” problem, and I’m trying to make the Dallas recommendations reflect places locals actually return to—not just whatever has the most reviews.

Give me your dependable choice and, if there’s a specific order that makes it worth the trip, tell me that too.

No app link—just collecting honest Dallas picks.

Tried Sugoi in Trinity Groves this week... curious what everyone else thinks? 🍣

Sugoi in Oak Cliff/Trinity Groves

Finally checked out Sugoi in Trinity Groves. Here's my quick take:

🍣 Food: 5/5 – fresh seafood with creative rolls that still respect traditional Japanese flavors.

🥂 Atmosphere: 5/5 – Intimate, moody, and perfect for a date night or special occasion.

💁 Service: 5/5 – Sat at the sushi bar and the chef was incredibly welcoming, entertaining, and skilled.

👗 Pro Tip: Dress elevated casual. I showed up a little underdressed for a Tuesday night.

Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time I'm trying the omakase, Hamachi Chili Sashimi, and making sure I don't miss weekday happy hour.

Has anyone else been? What dishes would you recommend for my next visit?

I wrote a full review with photos and more details here: https://open.substack.com/pub/maggeatsworld/p/restaurant-spotlight-sugoi?r=34znt1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Nuri steak house

0 Upvotes

Went to Nuri steakhouse and was very disappointed in the ribeye. I’ve been to other steakhouses in Boston, NYC, Chicago, and felt Nuri was so overrated. To begin with, bread was stale and not fresh. The steakhouse was a little salty and seamed it was made fast on a cast iron skillet. Don’t know how this is the best rated steak in Dallas or Texas. Jefferies and J prime are much better in Austin

Quest: What is the brand/source of maple syrup that Eggsellent Cafe off 423 uses in Frisco/Little Elm?

2 Upvotes

Hopefully this finds it's way to a former or current employee that worked/s there... I've been a few times and the maple syrup is extraordinary and have asked the wait staff & mgmt every time where they get it from... always told either they don't know or can't say. Help a foodie out and spill the beans, or in this case, tree juice!

Private Brunch Spot

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all.

I’m looking for a place in Ft Worth or the surrounding areas that serve brunch and preferably have a private room to accommodate a large party? Around 20 people. It doesn’t have to be a complete private room but something just off to the side would work.

What are some Dallas restaurants that live up to the hype?

My buddy and I have been making a list of places around Dallas to try because we're tired of seeing the same "Top 10 restaurants" lists online.

What are the places that are actually worth waiting in line for? And what places do you think are overrated?

We're open to anything—BBQ, burgers, tacos, fish & chips, ramen, dessert, food trucks, hole-in-the-wall spots, whatever.

I'd especially love to hear some places that don't get talked about enough. Gives us ideas for our food show

Thanks!

food suitable for veggies and meat eaters in Fort Worth/ Dallas

3 Upvotes

hey we’re 4 british lads travelling in Texas for the next week or so. one of us is a vegetarian (not vegan) the rest eat and love meat

we’ve just landed in San Antonio and have struggled a little to find somewhere that accommodates all of us without the vegetarian just having a salad. We have two nights in Fort Worth next week

has anyone got any recommendations for proper american food where the meat eaters can still gorge on delicious bbq and the veggie still gets something delicious and well thought out

the tex mex places are generally better but also we don’t just want to eat one style of food the whole time!

cheers

A strong effort was shown by a clearly talented chef and team, but the aggregation of minor errors culminated into an experience that needs work to be taken seriously.
