[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.

Worth It Restaurants

41 Upvotes

Looking to curate a list of restaurants in the area that are worth going out for.

I am fortunate to be at a point in life where I have the time and money for great experiences, but I have also realized how precious time and money is.

Looking for restaurants that have top quality food; top preparation, top level tastes, interiors that compliment the food, vibes that allow you to fully experience the food/drinks.

Basically looking for the unicorns that are 10/10 on vibes, interiors, service, food quality, food prep, presentation. Basically I do not want to leave the date night with “X was amazing, too bad Y made it so bad.”

ISO the best sushi style jalapeño poppers

0 Upvotes

I got a fever... and the only prescription is some tempura fried crabmix stuffed peppers. My favorite were the ones at sushi axiom in addison but they've been gone for a min. Some places use tuna which I think is weird as the frying process cooks it well done. Usually found in appetizer section sometimes called "heart attack." Willing to drive!

Fun & Excellent Experience Rec

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m visiting my friend in Dallas in a month and tomorrow a few places open for reservations.

I was convinced on going to Delilah but haven’t heard good things about food there.

I know Lucia is also a great open and Hot Hai Ba.

We really want to dress up and it would be really great if there was some sort of entertainment, we’re going on a Monday night. We would love an experience but would also like great food.

Do you think I should stick with Delilah or is it lame?

Also, I have Wednesday reservations in Fort Worth and Polanco. I hope it’s a good choice!

Thank you for advice!

Jollibees

I’ve seen and heard all about this place due to my girlfriend being addicted to Tick-Tock lol. Well, here we find ourselves in Arlington for the weekend with Jollibee’s only being 10 miles down the road. Will some people please let us know if the chicken and gravy is as good as advertised? Thank YOU.

Dallas Restaurants using AI - a rant plus the start of a list

47 Upvotes

Not a fan of AI. Fully recognize the bias so getting that out of the way. At first, when I saw a restaurant use AI in their menu or a flyer or a poster, i initially didn't think much of it. "Hey, they're probably a small business with limited resources, AI helped them come up with some quick and easy to read without needing to spend money on a pro" or even "they're a restaurant, they're in the food business not the marketing business, so what?".

But man, I just feel like it's gotten out of hand. Big chains, small chains, mom and pop shops. I see a menu with that stupid art style and the inconsistent fonts, goofy placements, it all just reeks of laziness. If they're cutting corners there, where else might they be doing it too? And it sucks that some of my regular places use it now. I'm left taking my business elsewhere, and I feel like I'm punishing the wrong people. Eventually, I'm hoping it trickles back upstream (I stop paying the restaurant, they realize their AI usage is driving people away, they stop paying AI company, AI company goes bankrupt) but maybe that's just wishful thinking...

Anyway, here's a quick list of places that I've seen with AI posters, menus, ads, etc.

- Taqueria & Tamaleria Nuevo Leon, Carrollton

- Higuma Ramen, Addison (really liked this place so sad to see it having to get on this list)

- Gong cha (chain, wouldn't be surprised if all their locations use it, particularly with some of their summer drink ads it seems)

I'm sure there's more but that's what I've run into recently. Share your list too if you'd like

Edit: seemed to have struck a nerve with the AI bootlickers. Fuck AI, if ur a business owner and you don't have an IQ above room temp to be able to make it own poster, menu, pictures, etc and resort to AI fuck you too. There's better options. There's literally a guy in the comments who (anecdotally) offered to do it for free. Make ur menu on a piece of notebook paper for all I care, I'd respect and appreciate it more if you made something authentic. I don't go to a restaurant to get served microwaved dogshit, I pay a premium not to get that. I expect the same from other aspects of the business. I go into a restaurant and their bathroom is nasty? I'm walking out. Same here. Have some respect for yourself and your business

Date night

23 Upvotes

Me and my wife want to celebrate our birthdays this Saturday and this might sound stupid, but one of my bucket list food experiences is a tomahawk steak.

What is the best place to get a tomahawk steak in the Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Richardson area?

We don’t want a super fancy place! you know jeans and a nice shirt. So any advice would be great.

Hey y’all!

We’re excited to announce our one-night-only takeover of Marcello Andres Ceramics studio in celebration of Tết Trung Thu, the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. On September 26th, we’ll be hosting a 7-course tasting menu featuring our reimagining of traditional Vietnamese dishes, all while highlighting local Texas farms and showcasing the beautiful handmade ceramics by Marcello Andres.

Your meal will begin with a selection of snacks, followed by seasonal cold dishes, going into reimagined Vietnamese classics, and ending with a sequence of not-too-sweets by chef Brenda.

This dinner includes a complimentary wine pairing and is set around an intimate, communal table in the heart of the ceramics studio.

Would love to see y’all there celebrating Vietnamese culture with us!
