Anthony Bourdain is Coming to Dallas. Where Should He Eat?

• aaww....beach is always the best place to eat your favorite dishes....

• he start at Silver Spoon, then go to Afrah for more food plus their inhouse gelato, and shisha. then go to the refugee center for the humaniterian portion. then theres a honky tonk bar called ww fairfields just down the street from afrah.

• the best hole in a wall indian place I know of is Siver Spoon. They've been around for 21 years, and are definatly a part of Dallas indian food culture. They have the best korma and biriyani in Dallas. I even had them cater my wedding last year.

• King's Noodle in Richarson. He should feel right at home there.

• la duni dallas, latin food

•  I think the whole indo-arab strip in Richardson is a good idea. He could go to Silver Spoon, Indo Pak, Afra Pastries, Sultan, and May's Ice Cream where they have real tiwanese like stinky tofu.

• Calle Doce is poop. Try mannys or mias

• Cowboy chow sucked.... And it closed down months ago

• And Glorias ceviche trio!

• Negative Nellie he may be, but I can't say I disagree... 'high end' places haven't impressed me if ur speaking purely palate, dirty hole in the wall places, in some shady stripmall have delivered on flavor and authenticity. Dallas has surprised me in exactly that way- you can stop at pretty much any hole in the wall in any part of town and find really good food from any part of the world. And the hyped up places, like 560, are just that- hype.

• Punjhabi Dhaba in Richardson Order mutton korma (not on the menu) Raita, pickle, naan, and lassi I've sent so called 'foodie' friends there, but they were scared off by the shady dive, dirty grocery store, bollywood movie rental, imported five and dime feel with the dirty mop bucket smell. Well, that, or the bad decor... Either way, not for the faint of heart, but still the best I've found!

• CEDARS SOCIAL

• I absolutely love Anthony Bourdain!  I watch all every one of his episodes.  I have to hand it to him, the episode recently aired in Kuridstan was amazing.  I did not think I would be interested in this one but he made it so interesting!  I think it was one of his best.  GOOD JOB ANTHONY!!! He should try out Randy's Steakhouse in Frisco, TX (North of Dallas).  Amazing food in a quaint setting.  Randy, the chef is often there.  The location is a historic home made into a restaurant.  They even have a piano bar.  I don't think Anthony would be dissapointed.

• Hate to tell you this Kristi...  York Street in Dallas hasn't been around for about a year.  You need to tune up your restaurant info.

• Sushi at Sushi Axiom on N. Henderson or Axiom Sushi on Cedar Springs.

• The Boiling Crab!!! Hole in the wall amazingness! Additionally, Taqueria El Paisano on Lombardy is on of the best taquerias in Dallas. Lastly, Sahn in Carrollton serves some incredible food with a little more... He'll just have to visit the venue to see what I'm referring to. An awesome concept restaurant...

• Abacus and Almas. Frozen custard at Wild About Harry's

• Monica's Aca y Alla - wonderful

• Anthony Bourdain Is From New York, If he Wants Anything To Eat It Should Be Something Dallas Is Known For. But What Is That? Who Is Known For Their Large Smoked Turkey Legs?

• I think Tahini has had the best suggestions so far.  You've got to A) go for definitive Dallas B) remember this is Bourdain.  Unfortunately those two categories aren't a perfect blend.  Dallas is definitely a great burger, street taco, and sushi (thanks to Teiichi Sakurai) city.  If he makes it over to Fort Worth he obviously has to hang out with Tim Love.  At night I think he should do a quick swing downtown grabbing a burger at The Comissary, sushi & soba at Tei An, then walk down to Samar for the regional tapas.

• He would love El Ranchito's cabrito!

• Lubys

• G and G's on Greenville avenue, love their fallafel.. Al-Wadi on Bedford, great kippa... Komart has great korean food... Sushi Yaa, great buffet... Lawry's prime rib... Rafain churrascaria...Awshucks on Greenville, great summer platter...Norma's in Oak Cliff for fried chicken... Lee Harvey's, great bar food... and Bacon pancakes @ The Original Pancake House...

• Anthony Bourdain should eat at the Afghan Grill. 

• Right on, brother!

• Good call on Jimmy's ;-)

• Cowboy Chow would be a great place for Tony to try in Deep Ellum.  They have homemade menu items such as homemace chips with feta, mashed potato parfait with Dr. Pepper marinated pulled pork, bean and other delicious layers.  

• If it's anything like his trip to Houston, he won't eat anywhere. He'll go somewhere to buy cowboy boots instead. Yeah, we were not impressed.

• El Ranchito - Oak Cliff Pietro's - Lower Greenville Fuel City Tacos!

• Agreed!  He needs to get Jimmy's Italian Beef sammich or the meatball sub...MAMA MIA!

• Ozona sucks...worst food ever

• Definitely Angry Dog....good call

• He sould go to Mai's on Bryan...THE best Viatnamese in Dallas!

• He should end the day at the World Beer Company - The Bottle Shop on lower Greenville and have a couple of cool choices of over 500 beers while snacking on World Beer Co. Beer Jam  and Biscuits!   

• MAPLE & MOTOR

• I also think he would LOVE a dish from Chef Marc Cassell called Dad's Sunday Chicken.......It  is amazing!!!!!

• Wingfield's Hamburgers in South Oak Cliff or Lockhart's BBQ or Rudy's Chicken

• Believe Mr Bourdain likes to experiance more than food, he should partake of what makes Dallas famous to conventions.  Have a meal at The Lodge

• As far as Mexican - El Ranchito and La Calle Doce in Oak Cliff! Real Dallas Mexican establishments! 

• Cane Rosso, Pecan Lodge, Boots Burgers

• Pecan Lodge in the Farmer's Market for BBQ. Period.

• Hattie's.

• the Dairyette and Las Rancheros.

• There are lots of lovely Homo Sailors that are a lot nicer to Dallas! And certainly not as trolly!

• Lucia in OC - IF he can get in. :)  Agree with Jimmy's and Cafe Urbano next door.  Tillman's for venison Frito pie maybe?

• Wild About Harry's - hidden?  Don't get me wrong, I love me some Harry, but if 99% of the kids in the Park Cities know about it, it's not a "foodie" only destination.  Sheesh, don't be so sensitive!

• I say he eats at Babe's. Nothing says Texas like a good old fashion home style eatery!!

• And they just installed great patio seating perfect for our family Sunday brunch :).

• Bolsa in Oak Cliff, Celebration on West Lovers, Babe's up in Frisco, Jimmys & Bryan Street Tavern on Bryan Street, Rudy's for BBQ even thou it is starting to become a chain

• For something unique,  try Rise. Souffle restaurant on Lovers.

• My house!  We live in Oak Cliff and will walk the streets and eat! 

• He should go to Goghee To Go and eat their spicy pork tacos. My new fave spot.

• It doesn’t seem like anyone here has watched his show No Reservations. He’s not going to be interested in 99% of the joints folks are suggesting. He’s not a foodie. He’s an OG chowhound!

• My house because my food rocks!  P.S.  I'm actually serious about that.

• Odom's on Singleton Blvd.

• TROLL ALERT

• The Mecca - Coppell Deli - Babe's (Original in Roanoke) - Keller's (on Harry Hines)

• Finally got to try Lockhart BBQ in Oak Cliff  and it was the WORST BBQ I have ever eaten.  The ribs and sliced beef had so much salt on it, my tongue was raw and that is not an exaggeration. Yes, it was from the BBQ.   30 bucks for a sorry ass meal for two including  1 small container of deviled eggs, BBQ beans 1 beer and tea was not worth it in my books. Anyone recommending this as a stop must not have eaten there.  I sure won't be going back there and I know they won't miss my business.  I'll stick with North Main BBQ in Euless.

• And the Cabrito is the best.

• I believe he would be right at home dining at the city of dallas landfill on south central.

• he's a sailor, so that means he's a homo, so he should go back to bending over

• If you dunno nuttin, then why waste space posting that you dunno nuttin?

• He could come to MY house. I'll throw something on the grill for him.

• Ceviche at Ostion Azul in Arcadia Park. 

• The tostadas at Bargain City Bazaar on Westmoreland and Ft. Worth Ave. in Oak Cliff.

• Yeah Common Table is good stuff, and good beer selection also...  

• Neighborhood Services seconded! MmMMmm... their house-made pasta...

• For some of the places people have listed ... Italian? You do know he's done multiple episodes of his TV show in Italy itself, right? Mexican? Vietnamese/Thai? Ditto. I'd say the key is something that is somehow unique to Dallas. Then again, he's done that "U.S. Southwest" episode so I dunno ...

• Dude, you are a bummer. Go back to Houston.

• Bubba's and Motor and Maple. Tacos at Fuel City

• La Duni definitely.

• In fear I'd been ruining a great hidden gem...I'd recommend Lee's bbq in Haslet... http://www.yelp.com/biz/lees-hickory-smoked-bbq-haslet

• Momo's Italian specialties on Forest near Greenville.  The salmon al cartoccio is a wonderful dish and everything there is the most delicious and authentic italian food that I have found in the metroplex..nay, the whole of Texas.  Cheers.

• He'd love the Barbacoa Tacos at El Guero on Bryan. And while he's there he should take a short drive to Jimmy's a few blocks away for a Cubana Po-Boy.

• El Ranchito in Oak Cliff has great mariachias

• yes, like "just kidding I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about"

• Ain't nothing hidden about being on the corner of a street on Greenville, hoss. and now that I think about it, i guess that can go for at least two of your choices.

• I feel like half of the people making suggestions have never read a Bourdain book or watched his show. This isn't Man v. Food or Diners drive ins and hair bleach!

• kozy i think he would dig it

• Flippin' Out Crepes and Coffee in Addison... it's gourmet food to go, and I can't get enough of it!

• The Old Monk in Dallas off Henderson near 75 and Chef Point Cafe in Watauga (close enough to Dallas) 5 star restaurant in a gas station.

• Twister Root, for the best burger in town! Need I say more?

• Go to Dallas and within an hour you'll want to wash the smell of the city off you. It's a lethal mix of doused perfume, whiskey breath and bile left over from the night before. Add to the mix a ladle dose of pretense and you'll wonder why you came to this shameless place on the prairie. All the restaurants that claim to serve the better clientele are all overrated and the best food is found where English is the second language.

• Fuel City tacos!

• He should definitely go to Nonna.  And if he's adventurous, one of my secret supper parties... but he's probably not that adventurous! 

• El Paisano's taco stand on Brockbank east of Harry Hines road. True street tacos, consistent quality over the decade i've been dragging my @ss there at 2am. primarily hispanic neighborhood, so all others keep to yourself when you are there. the people have always been nice and helpful, but that doesn't mean they won't turn on someone acting like a drunken fool.

• My House! Let these TwoHotPotatoes show you around town Tony ;)

• That all depends on perspective Lesli. If you're not a foodie (like some I know) you'll never have heard of any of them. Someone discussing places to eat on a online forum is probably more clued in, wouldn't you say.

• Ozona is not that great, Joe T's gave me food poisoning and I was sick for several days the one time I ate there and Freebirds is a chain.  No thanks.

• Fuel City Tacos or Neighborhood Services

• He should go to Spiral Diner in Oak Cliff so he can go off on one of his fabulous five minute tirades against vegan food before tasting their queso and then saying "but this sh*t really is good"! ;-)

• Mia's muthafuckin Tex-Mex. Brisket tacos. That is all.

• He should go to Si Tappas

• He should go to the Common Table on Fairmount

• He should come over to my place and mow my lawn about 2 pm, and then I'll hook him up to a margarita IV, cook him a rare ribeye, and have homemade key lime pie for dessert.  Then we'll go over to Louie's and John can give him the depth charge treatment while Louie hurls insults at him. 

• Unfortunately, York Street closed quite a while ago.

• Tony needs to take his skinny bleans over to a little place called Chili's and pepper in some fucking fun. 

• And it'd be hard to convince him, but also throw in Maple and Motor for a Holy-Shit burger moment. Bless you Jack Perkins. Someone needs to get Josh Ozersky's round ass to M&M stat.

• >Jo-Ed's Bomber in Arlington. >Ozona in Dallas>Joe T Garcia's in Ft Worth>Freebird's in DFW >Garden Café in Dallas>Kalachandji's in Dalals>York St in Dallas
