Destination #5: Oak
The Design District near downtown Dallas is a gem full of studios, art galleries and unexpected gourmet delights. Two of our favorite spots here are the Meddlesome Moth and Oak. This post focuses on the latter destination. It was D’s first try and my second for dinner. The temperature outside was mild, so I made the decision to move our reservation outdoors on the patio while I waited for...
Destination #4: Tillman's Roadhouse
For a couple of years I had been kicking myself for having never dined at Tillman’s. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t made multiple attempts, each one thwarted in some way or another…each time forcing me to a different nearby eatery.
So after a minor location snafu with P, we we were seated at a table for a long awaited dinner at Tillman’s Roadhouse. Eschewing the more...

Destination #3: SMOKE
Once upon a time not too long ago, I tried the popular brunch at SMOKE. I ambitiously ordered the pulled whole hog BBQ eggs benedict with goat cheese potato cakes and a side of thick cut pork belly bacon which both left no impression on me other than that the benedict was too bland and the bacon too dry.
Last week, I thought to give SMOKE’s brunch another chance. This time, I carefully chose...

Destination #2: Campo Modern Country Bistro
Oak Cliff has become chock full of great places to eat over the last few years. Nestled near the intersection of Zang and Beckley lie an interesting mix of eateries including the all vegan Spiral Diner, popular brunch location Jonathon’s Oak Cliff, and Campo Modern Country Bistro. P had recently dined at Campo and highly recommended that we check it out as our 2nd destination… so we...

Right across the street is the grand and lavish Hotel Palomar. This is where Central 214 lives. Filled with orange luminescence and well-dressed people, the restaurant/bar welcomes you. The staff does a great job at it as well. Service with a smile goes a...
Welcome to D&P!
I have a good friend. His name is David. David is a lover of all foods. So am I. One day, we came up with the brilliant idea to keep a tally of our culinary conquests together. Henceforth, this blog was born. Go Team D&P!
Working with only a Google Doc spreadsheet and our insatiable stomachs, we venture out in the streets of Dallas to experience mutual eats we have yet to explore. Old, new,...

Mozart Bakery
Located on the outskirts of Koreatown is a new boutique pastry shop properly named Mozart Bakery. Every delectable edible item is a work of art! It’s almost a shame to eat these masterpieces. This unpretentious bake shop showcases its juicy jewels on gold cardboards basked in gallery-style lighting. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with an open layout of individually packaged baked breads...

Bolsa
Just West of the Bishop Arts District and situated in Oak Cliff, lies the quaint bar and kitchen called Bolsa, formally the historic Settles Garage building. This gem boasts big windows and doors, and the decor is minimalist and organic. In fact, most ingredients used in the chefs’ thoughtful dishes are organic and grown by local farmers. Bolsa doubles as a mini marketplace where you can...
