    &lt;/figure&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Come work with us&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="oTwiUX"&gt;Are you obsessed with cocktails, coffee that isn't Starbucks, ramen, tacos, or just about anything else in Dallas’ food and restaurant scene? If you also happen to have a skill for writing, there might just be a spot for you at &lt;strong&gt;Eater Dallas&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="ubUpIx"&gt;We're currently seeking smart, enthusiastic writers and photographers to contribute features, news stories, and dining guides to Eater Dallas on a freelance basis. Please take some time to read through Eater Dallas’s stories over the past few months for an idea of the types of stories we cover. We are currently especially interested in profiles of local chefs and celebrities, addressing their favorite places to eat in town, features that highlight off-the-beaten path restaurants, and surprising stories about interesting things that local establishments and people are up to. We are specifically looking for writers who are familiar with Fort Worth and the cities west of Dallas to write city guides. &lt;strong&gt;Note: Eater Dallas does not run restaurant reviews. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="l7qwM0"&gt;Shoot us a brief email at dallas@eater.com with the subject line "Eater Dallas Contributor." Include a few links to previous writing and any other relevant professional experience along with your pitch. And feel free to reach out if you just want to feel us out for assignments and have previous writing experience — it doesn’t necessarily have to be in food. No resumes, please.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>All the Dallas Restaurant Openings to Get Excited About for Spring and Summer </title>
    <content type="html">  

    &lt;figure&gt;
      &lt;img alt="A woman in a chef’s top turns in a kitchen, an iron skillet in her hand." src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/WV06wxQwCuJAjJpXwji695Ku4hQ=/454x0:7739x5464/1310x983/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73220565/072022_SouthernRootsKitchen_KathyTran_IMG_6232.0.jpg" /&gt;
        &lt;figcaption&gt;Tiffany Derry is hard at work in the kitchen  | Kathy Tran&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;


  &lt;p&gt;At the top of the list is Tiffany Derry’s forthcoming Italian restaurant Radicci&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="p--has-dropcap p-large-text" id="MeFxm4"&gt;Spring has sprung, and several great restaurants are coming this season — well into the summer. We’ve rounded up the ones we’re most excited to try as the seasons change. Here are the exciting spots we’re looking forward to in Dallas and beyond for the first half of 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="e0DlhB"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="Jm6QQa"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.radiciwoodfiredgrill.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Radicci Wood Fired Grill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="C9V29g"&gt;&lt;em&gt;12990 Bee St. in Farmers Branch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="xieRSk"&gt;We remain excited for Tiffany Derry’s forthcoming Italian restaurant in Farmer’s Branch, which should open in March or April, god willing and the creek don’t rise. We’re looking forward to seeing the giant wood-burning oven that will be installed and the cooking techniques it will bring. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="59XTn1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: March or April 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="ewgUTE"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="r8ktNA"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.goldiesdallas.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goldie’s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="vQpbx9"&gt;&lt;em&gt;9850 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 305&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="zvg5OT"&gt;Lake Highlands will get a much-needed neighborhood restaurant from Brandon Hays of This and That Hospitality, his wife Brittany Grignon, and Brittni Clayton, a Dallas hospitality vet who has worked for Nick Badovinus, Julian Barsotti, Salvatore Gisellu, and Duro Hospitality. The space is the former RM12:20 Bistro, and that massive outdoor patio will be used as a year-round seating area with an update to make it climate-controlled. The menu features classic bistro and grill dishes — if you remember it from a menu as a kid, Goldie’s will probably have it. The owners say it will be an all-occasion spot for families, after work gatherings, solo dinners, and nights out. Still, the design is “sexy and sophisticated,” so it always feels special. We can’t wait to see it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="4LRkpe"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: End of March 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A restaurant dining room with booths and art on the wall is rendered by an architect." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/JDWDl-uoVWTqdhWqAhV5e8jycs0=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25345900/LM2.png"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Goldie’s&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;A rednering of Goldie’s&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="PSkBr6"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="lzfkeU"&gt;&lt;a href="https://culpeppercattleco.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Culpepper Cattle Co.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="RVxmHb"&gt;&lt;em&gt;3309 Elm St.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="Xfw2s9"&gt;The folks at UNCO were planning to launch a new thing at this Deep Ellum address, but we’re told they decided to flip it and make it a Culpepper’s instead, a steaks/Tex-Mex/Texas-style restaurant that has been around since the ‘80s and currently exists in Rockwall. Culpepper’s leans into the East Texas of it all, and the menu includes all of it: chopped steak, enchiladas, shrimp tacos, and more. It is a much-needed addition to Deep Ellum, where casual places to eat, especially at dinner, are far too scarce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="LfcKMz"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: April/May 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="7XxZNh"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="AaX0vY"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ndadallas.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NDA Brasserie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="reZNEf"&gt;&lt;em&gt;2801 N. Harwood St., Suite 100&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="kvAEki"&gt;This Harwood restaurant is a step up from an all-day cafe and will focus on breakfast and lunch. The menu is all American classics, so expect eggs Benedict, buttermilk pancakes, a prime rib French dip, hanger steak frites, and a house burger — of course. It is in the Harwood Group’s most recent tower in the neighborhood, and the theme of the place is inspired by the law firms that operate in it. The space will be reserved for private events in the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="moVFB2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: April 1, 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A plate holding Texas redfish on a bed of vegetables sits on a wooden side table. A glass of rosé is next to it." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/n25qTZO1XGvtJhcwLmGzi_BXyqQ=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25345823/NDA_Brasserie_Texas_Redfish.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Chase Hall&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Texas redfish at NDA Brasserie&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="Ne9jEm"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="glA8tD"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fortunatesontx.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fortunate Son&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="4sAIF7"&gt;&lt;em&gt;500 Main St. in Garland&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="LeWPHm"&gt;A beer garden and pizza spot in Garland opening wouldn’t be a big deal, but this one is from the folks behind GoodFriend. and will serve New Haven-style pies cooked in a coal-fired oven. We’re so ready. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="MFLASS"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: Spring 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="12Bve1"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="qSznAc"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nurigrill.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nuri Steakhouse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="92AP2L"&gt;&lt;em&gt;2401 Cedar Springs Rd., Suite 120&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="lKy4r7"&gt;This long-awaited steakhouse from the owner of &lt;a href="https://www.joakbbq.com/menu"&gt;Joa Korean BBQ&lt;/a&gt; and the former Nuri Grill is finally opening. The kitchen will be run by Minji Kim, who moved to Dallas in 2020 after closing her Michelin Plate-winning restaurant, Min’s Kitchen, in Seoul. The menu’s focus will be steaks and seafood, taking inspiration from the life and travels of its owner, Wan Kim. That will translate to various types of cuisine, which Kim says in a press release is meant to encourage diners to “embrace different cultures of the world.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="GAyVQD"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: Spring 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A steakhouse dining room with large windows all around and booths of wood and green cloth." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/sJ7AWM6iJpCZ1RVIupcAEoi96Pc=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25345829/Nuri_Steakhouse_outdoor_lounge_dining_room_rendering.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Nuri Steakhouse&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;A rendering of Nuri Steakhouse’s dining room&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="fqz1Px"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="iT7jGP"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tandethai.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tande Thai&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="ZVtS1R"&gt;&lt;em&gt;5754 Grandscape Blvd., #105 in The Colony&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="cqM1Kx"&gt;Modern Thai, as interpreted by chef Paul Imjard, is making its way to the Grandscape. What makes this restaurant so unique? Its chef is a native of Thailand who attended the chef training program at Le Cordon Bleu. The restaurant will feature ingredients sourced from Thailand. Imjard promises to explore various cooking techniques for traditional Thai dishes that may look different from what diners expect. Sounds exciting!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="nq2MVj"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: Spring 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="HqGhgU"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="ill7MF"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.mediumrarerestaurant.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medium Rare&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="1fTpaO"&gt;&lt;em&gt;5631 Alta Avenue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="7pRFnP"&gt;In the space formerly housed Standard Service, this steak frites chain will land (and by a chain, we mean there are currently five nationwide) and serve dinner and brunch. The straightforward idea behind this spot is that it serves one thing: a prix fixe menu of three courses of bread, mixed greens salad, and steak frites with its special sauce. All you need to do is tell them what temperature you prefer for your steak. The cost is $28.95. That’s it; that’s the whole deal. In a steakhouse-rich city like Dallas, more affordable steak and excellent steak frites are welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="rf5K7F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: June 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="TrAe9N"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="TPBkiA"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TBD Japanese steakhouse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p id="N0uz5e"&gt;&lt;em&gt;2801 N. Harwood St.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="pN8uBD"&gt;Also opening in the new Harwood tower is a dinner spot—a to-be-named Japanese steakhouse. With NDA Brasserie closed for dinner, it’s the perfect complement. While most details are still under wraps, we know the restaurant will be decorated with artifacts from the &lt;a href="https://samuraicollection.org/"&gt;Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum’s&lt;/a&gt; collection of samurai materials. We also know the menu will heavily feature Japanese beef and whiskies. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="Mh0IpX"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Target opening date: Summer 2024&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="c-end-para" id="tOO8CC"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Correction: March 22, 2204, 8:46 a.m.: This story has been updated to reflect that Fortunate Son is owned by the people behind GoodFriend and not Greenville Avenue Pizza Co.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>What to Expect When You’re Expecting CosMc’s in Dallas</title>
    <content type="html">  

    &lt;figure&gt;
      &lt;img alt="The exterior of CosMc’s in Dallas, with construction outside. " src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/wNBT60PDC4489HgUSVM4YiEWxIY=/0x54:2617x2017/1310x983/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73218400/CosMcs_Exterior_Dallas.0.jpg" /&gt;
        &lt;figcaption&gt;CosMcs is open in Dallas | Courtney E. Smith&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;


  &lt;p&gt;Pro-tips on what to do and order at this drinks-centric McDonald’s spin-off &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="UDqoMc"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cosmcs.com/"&gt;CosMc’s&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="https://www.eater.com/23982627/mcdonalds-new-chain-cosmc-opening-what-to-know"&gt;new McDonald’s concept&lt;/a&gt; that is all about weird drinks and being the cool mom, has opened in Dallas — in far North Dallas, to be exact, tucked away across from &lt;a href="http://delinewsdallas.com/menu/"&gt;Deli News&lt;/a&gt; off Campbell Road. Rather than tell you this information, Eater Dallas drove there this morning to order wildly from the menu and give it an opening-day evaluation. Dallas is not the &lt;a href="https://chicago.eater.com/23997952/cosmcs-mcdonalds-food-menu-taste-test-boba-cafe-bolingbrook-chicago"&gt;first to get CosMc’s&lt;/a&gt;, by the way, that honor went to suburban Chicago at the end of last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="U6ys2A"&gt;Unlike the Illinois opening, where customers waited in line for three hours on opening day, CosMc’s in North Dallas was not popping off at 10 a.m. It seems the &lt;a href="https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/location/TX/DALLAS/17250-PRESTON-RD/7614.html"&gt;McDonald’s&lt;/a&gt; team learned a thing or two about soft openings and are trying a new, quieter strategy this time. They did, however, stack the parking lot with security guards to help guide traffic because this location doesn’t have a lot of room for cars to line up. They also reserved every spot in the actual parking lot for staff, so if you wanted to park, get out, and go inside, you’d have to park in the nearby Kroger lot and walk over. I opted for the drive-thru because I had my dog in tow and wasn’t comfortable leaving her out of sight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="c-image-grid"&gt;
&lt;div class="c-image-grid__item"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;

&lt;p id="mvB6PB"&gt;When I arrived, there was no one ahead of me in the drive-thru to order and two cars waiting on orders. &lt;strong&gt;Pro-tip No. 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Pull up close to the order spot because you’ll be paying by credit card there; do not stay a whole car door away from it like me and then have to get out and look silly to be the people behind you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="kh4oVB"&gt;I ordered a little bit of everything: a s’mores cold brew that I customized with a shot of sugar-free vanilla and some almond milk, a Popping Pear Slush, a Melon Herb Chiller from the iced teas and lemonades section of the menu (an item unique to Dallas), a creamy avocado tomatillo sandwich, and a blueberry lemon cookie. My dog got a pup cup after the person taking my order asked her supervisor if they had them. It seems we may have been CosMc’s Dallas’s first pup cup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="LSoley"&gt;The reference points for CosMc’s seem to be a cross between &lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonicdrivein.com%2Fmenu%2Fdrinks%2F&amp;amp;referrer=eater.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fdallas.eater.com%2F2024%2F3%2F19%2F24105930%2Fcosmcs-dallas-fort-worth-food-drinks-menu-photos" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Sonic’s expansive drink menu&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://swigdrinks.com/menu/"&gt;Swig’s&lt;/a&gt; highly customizable drinks, and &lt;a href="https://hteao.com/"&gt;HTea0’s&lt;/a&gt; more exotic options. The menu is primarily drinks with just a few small bites and it is actively designed to be weird. The Popping Pear Slush was my strangest order — it’s like a &lt;a href="https://www.7-eleven.com/locations/tx/dallas/18008-preston-rd-33494"&gt;7-11 Slurpee&lt;/a&gt;, with loose, small ice infused with a flavored drink. But this one has whipped cream and a Pop Rocks-like product on top that is supposed to burst in your mouth. Mine must have been stale because there were no explosions, just globs of wet candy at the bottom of the drink.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="NyGdfi"&gt;The Melon Herb Chiller was much more sour than I expected — and was my favorite drink. It tasted more like grapefruit with some melon notes but happily got even better as the ice melted. I sense that the lemonade menu is all heavily tart but also highly customizable, so feel free to add some sweeteners to get it to your taste. The s’mores cold brew was possibly the thinnest, most watery cup of cold brew I’ve ever had. &lt;strong&gt;Pro-tip No. 2: &lt;/strong&gt;Do not order any cold brew here. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A woman holds a breakfast sandwich with a chicken patty and bacon strips." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/iCIyDOrxgeg6IVI2LClMufkJof4=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25344505/Avocado_Sandwich_CosMcs.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Courtney E. Smith&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Creamy avocado tomatillo sandwich&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p id="iGjvS6"&gt;The breakfast sandwich was more or less like eating sandwich bags with avocado smeared on it, but the cookie had an excellent flavor profile. I would have preferred it to be softer and less crumbly, but I can find no fault with the taste of it. &lt;strong&gt;Pro-tip No. 3: &lt;/strong&gt;Do not eat the cookie in your car or, if you must, do not remove it from the bag and save yourself the crumb clean-up. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="c-image-grid"&gt;
&lt;div class="c-image-grid__item"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A dog in a car licks whipped cream from a pup cup." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/OUQsaLMgRiU4TjRMj35Yccig1y4=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25344506/Glory_Pup_Cup.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Courtney E. Smith&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;A tiny pup cup&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="c-image-grid__item"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A lemonade drink in a clear plastic glass with a straw." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/2Rag1-h26nOfMGhs8PNVITJL0Ic=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25344507/Melon_Herb_CosMcs.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Courtney E. Smith&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Melon Herb Chiller&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="U2QGk0"&gt;The pup cup needs some work. While my dog Glory at the whole thing, it came in a small plastic cup the size of a shot glass. Not only are the edges of those plastic glasses potentially dangerous for dogs, but if anyone shows up with a large dog and tries to offer it to them, the dog will laugh. I’d love to see CosMc’s implement larger paper cups like &lt;a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1011447/"&gt;Starbucks&lt;/a&gt;. And that’s another thing: every cup here is a clear, plastic McDonald’s cup. You know, the kind of plastic that is going straight into landfills to probably never degrade or get recycled. For a drive-thru that is all about the drinks, I’d love to see them come up with a cup that isn’t an environmental disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="LDAJps"&gt;Addendum: A massive sugar crush from these drinks took me out at 2:30 p.m. If I did not respond to your email yesterday, this is why. So, lesson learned: you can use CosMc’s overconsumption as an out of office response. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="gaI7UN"&gt;&lt;em&gt;CosMc’s is open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Find it at 6033 Campbell Road in Dallas. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="wd6pm3"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update: Wendesday, March 20, 2024: 8:25 a.m.: This article was updated to include the after effects of drinking all these CosMc’s beverages.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>An Eater’s Guide to Dallas </title>
    <content type="html">  

    &lt;figure&gt;
      &lt;img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ejKZGWPemrnF58U3Zk_r6EuvftM=/429x0:7321x5169/1310x983/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/71025121/011324_Georgie_KathyTran_IMG_6507_Enhanced_NR.40.jpg" /&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;


  &lt;p&gt;What to eat and drink when you’re in Big D&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="c-float-right c-float-hang"&gt;&lt;div id="R2eRKQ"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="aside:12051907"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class="p--has-dropcap p-large-text" id="ZAjYzv"&gt;Since its portrayal in the eponymous and infamous 1980s soap opera, Dallas has undergone an incredible amount of change. The home of Neiman Marcus, the legendary &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2023/9/29/23892360/state-fair-texas-best-food-graham-elliot-felipe-armenta-photos-deep-fried-pho"&gt;State Fair of Texas&lt;/a&gt;, and America’s Team, Big D also boasts a thriving, diverse culinary scene that can sometimes fly under the national radar. Dallas has always been a city of niches — if you want to fit in, you have to find yours. There might be whole parts of town that aren’t the right vibe for you, though some spots have the history and pull to rise above the fray. This guide will help you get to the heart of Dallas’ unique culinary identity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/okFeXW2LVJAQeYPBChZpXrmOkhk=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24921950/Dallas_Zalkus_150dpi.png"&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id="DsHFpc"&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div id="JyQxzv"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="best-maps"&gt;Where to Start on Eater Dallas's Best Maps&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="AwEjrs"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eater Dallas puts together &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;comprehensive guides&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the city’s best food and drink — whether you’re looking for fried chicken, cocktails, burgers, or brunch. If you’re starving but overwhelmed by all of these options, here are some top picks that are a good bet every single time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="ZLqVPV"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-best-new-restaurants-heatmap"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hottest Restaurant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="I3Hdvn"&gt;Dallas is in the throes of a sushi moment. The options are nearly endless for amazing sushi in this town right now, and we’re particularly loving &lt;a href="https://resy.com/cities/dfw/kaiyo?seats=2&amp;amp;date=2024-03-14"&gt;Kaiyo&lt;/a&gt; on Lower Greenville, from local chef Jimmy Park. In an ocean of options of omakase, it is a casual and affordable delight. It’s the spot for sushi rolls, an array of small dishes, and curries with a Japanese touch, and sashimi. The drink menu goes for whimsical. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A white table cloth covered table holds a tray with three plates of scallops with uni. One person digs in with a spoon, while another lifts a cocktail." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/um-HjH5snvHAx6dh6bmB3ZQGWYU=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25336164/011324_Georgie_KathyTran_IMG_6709.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Kathy Tran&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Georgie&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 id="T7LDYm"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/best-dallas-restaurants-38-essential"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Essential Restaurant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="fdXtQj"&gt;&lt;a href="https://georgiedallas.com/"&gt;Georgie&lt;/a&gt; got a new chef last year, after quietly dissolving it’s relationship with celebrity chef Curtis Stone, and it’s become one of Big D’s hottest reservations yet again. &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/24057123/georgie-new-chef-rj-yoakum-menu-photos-food"&gt;RJ Yoakum is more than capably leading the kitchen&lt;/a&gt;, following a stint at the &lt;a href="http://www.thomaskeller.com/tfl"&gt;French Laundry&lt;/a&gt;, and pushing expectations for cuisine in Dallas to new heights. He changes the menu far too frequently to  recommend any dishes, so instead we’ll recommend ordering the chef’s tasting menu so you get a little bit of everything that’s thrilling the chef at the moment. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="xAb8yc"&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-fort-worth-best-barbecue-bbq-brisket-ribs-sausage"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbecue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="3eLfQS"&gt;First things first: in Texas, barbecue is a lunchtime thing. While there are places that make enough to serve it for dinner, that’s not the move. Now on to the show: Yes, you could drive to Fort Worth, and then a little bit south, to stand in line and try &lt;a href="http://goldeesbbq.com/"&gt;Goldee’s&lt;/a&gt;. Honestly, if you’ve got the time, go for it. But another option is supporting the Black-owned &lt;a href="http://offthebonebarbeque.com/"&gt;Off the Bone Barbecue&lt;/a&gt; in the Cedars. It is well known for its brisket and the queso mac and cheese. There’s also &lt;a href="https://hutchinsbbq.com/"&gt;Hutchins BBQ&lt;/a&gt; in McKinney and Frisco, &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2024/1/29/24054258/keith-lee-terry-blacks-thunderbird-pies-tiktok-food-reviews"&gt;a Keith Lee fave&lt;/a&gt;. If you eat one thing there, make it a Texas Twinkie. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A machete (a large quedilla-like food) sits on a long plate with a green salad and dipping sauce, with a cutting knife nearby. It is stuffed with meat." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/s-dBg17GVwSOZinPKBOYXcj70zY=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25337701/120922_ElCarlosElegante_KathyTran_IMG_9870.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Kathy Tran&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;El Carlos Elegante&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 id="6yGHqs"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/best-mexican-food-dallas"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mexican&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="VSip7J"&gt;The must-stop spot is &lt;a href="http://www.elcarloselegante.com/"&gt;El Carlos Elegante&lt;/a&gt;. This restaurant has a mission to create Mexican food that shows off the &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/23871951/el-carlos-elegante-mexican-food-restaurant-heritage-menu-dallas"&gt;fine dining aspect of the cuisine&lt;/a&gt;. The menu reflects a modern take on classic dishes from numerous regions in Mexico, as interpreted by the kitchen staff who grew up there. They take dishes that are well-known and loved, and some that haven’t been widely imported to the states, and utilize cooking techniques to elevate them. Our tip here is let them know your budget and what flavor profiles you like or which dishes interest you and then allow the wait staff to bring you dishes to share. This hospitality group has some of the best training for its staff in the city and they are more than capable of blowing your mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="22jXaV"&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-best-brunch-restaurants-mimosas"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brunch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="tetxnU"&gt;Brunch is a beloved institution for Dallasites and &lt;a href="https://www.breadwinnerscafe.com/"&gt;Bread Winner’s Cafe&lt;/a&gt; is an institution. Get lost in endless mimosas and get warm cinnamon rolls for the table. There’s no way to go wrong ordering here, but the croque madame and the Akaushi prime ribeye and eggs are excellent choices — as is its famous bananas Foster waffle and Normandy French toast. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="p1tLq8"&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-best-burgers"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Burgers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="gFdpHc"&gt;There are an awful lot of burgers in this town but our current favorite can be found at an East Dallas dive bar, the &lt;a href="http://www.thepeakinndallas.com/"&gt;Peak Inn&lt;/a&gt;. It is truly the platonic ideal of a cheeseburger. Pair it with a cold beer or a glass of whiskey — no need to get fancy. It also serves an open-faced chili cheese melt with a smashburger patty that might change your life.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A hand holds a knife and fork as it cuts into a bone-in veal covered in salad." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/WbdDarVxEHouu70j4k68gzd68Ds=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25336258/011224_TheSaint_KathyTran_IMG_5801.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Kathy Tran&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;The Saint&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;h4 id="yovD7t"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-best-steakhouses"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steak&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="cCNmos"&gt;Our obsession with &lt;a href="http://thesaintdallas.com/"&gt;the Saint&lt;/a&gt; is at its peak. Head to this Deep Ellum steakhouse for great Italian, a &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2024/3/6/24088015/the-saint-dallas-deep-ellum-menu-food-drinks-steak-photos"&gt;magnificent oyster happy hour&lt;/a&gt; (daily from 5 to 6 p.m.), and major vibes. The tight selection of cuts from Texas is excellent, and includes a bone-in Tomahawk that will get your Texas vibes flowing, and the veal Milanese is a remarkable order. Don’t miss the table side coffee negroni, which is a cocktail and a spectacle all in one. It’s a little bit Instagram famous for it’s whipped ricotta with local honey and the caviar amuse which you’ll just have to see for yourself. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="toO22K"&gt;
&lt;div id="nUTBb8"&gt;
&lt;h2 id="hoods"&gt;Dallas Food Neighborhoods to Know&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="LWBxVL"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas-Fort Worth is seriously massive, sprawling&lt;/strong&gt; across more than 350-square miles of North Texas. As such, it’s easy to find a decent meal pretty much anywhere in the metroplex, but certain neighborhoods have developed unique culinary identities. Wherever you are, let this breakdown of the city’s most notable dining districts be your guide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="vGpmPM"&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/bishop-arts-district-best-restaurants"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bishop Arts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="Ri1Q75"&gt;It’s hard to go wrong when selecting a spot to eat in Bishop Arts. The neighborhood’s newest addition, &lt;a href="https://www.ladylovesound.com/"&gt;LadyLove Lounge and Sound&lt;/a&gt;, is a cool bar where the DJs spin vinyl records, the cocktails are strong, and the food program was designed by the team from nearby &lt;a href="https://www.tacoyvinodallas.com/"&gt;Taco Y Vino&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-wide-block"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="A pair of carne asada tacos are serve on a metal tray with a sheet of white paper on top, and accented with a wedge of lime and a small tray of sauce. A glass of orange agua fresca sits to the right." data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Dj8vgVnpaMf8HHV6GeRxkPSIoMM=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24747622/042523_RevolverTacoLounge_KathyTran_IMG_9358.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Kathy Tran&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Order up at Revolver Taco Lounge in Deep Ellum.&lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 id="REzIsr"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/deep-ellum-best-restaurants-dallas"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deep Ellum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="H2Qo3c"&gt;There are now many new places to eat and drink in this cool neighborhood that it’s hard to keep up. You can &lt;a href="https://www.terryblacksbbq.com/dallas/"&gt;Terry Black’s Barbecue&lt;/a&gt; for a taste of Austin way outside of Austin. There’s also arguably the city’s best fried chicken at &lt;a href="https://bricknbones.com/"&gt;Brick &amp;amp; Bones&lt;/a&gt;. And what’s a night out in Deep Ellum without stopping into &lt;a href="https://revolvertacolounge.com/"&gt;Revolver Taco Lounge&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id="DUzoWE"&gt;&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/neighborhood/402/uptown"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uptown&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="iYGkt5"&gt;There are multiple vibes to catch in Uptown, from over-the-top parties to some of the city’s toniest eateries to shockingly good fast-casual spots. &lt;a href="https://uchi.uchirestaurants.com/location/dallas/"&gt;Uchi&lt;/a&gt; is a much-loved stop for modern Japanese food, from sushi to steak. &lt;a href="https://fearingsrestaurant.com/"&gt;Fearing’s&lt;/a&gt; in the Ritz-Carlton is where one of&lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2024/2/27/24083533/fearings-dallas-tasting-menu-steak-lobster"&gt; Dallas’s premiere chefs, Dean Fearing,&lt;/a&gt; serves the Southwest cuisine for which he’s so well known and admired.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-float-right"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/cL7-_INkdj91M-oKiw_efUIh5Vk=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24916196/Drinks_Zalkus_150dpi_removebg_preview.png"&gt;

&lt;p id="fyMM6U"&gt;The Joule’s &lt;a href="https://midnightramblerbar.com/"&gt;Midnight Rambler&lt;/a&gt; will delight cocktail enthusiasts, while the &lt;a href="https://adolphus.com/restaurants-bars/rodeo-bar"&gt;Adolphus’s Rodeo Bar&lt;/a&gt; is the spot for a Texas-themed night out. And if you want a good pizza, hit up &lt;a href="https://partenopedallas.com/"&gt;Partenope&lt;/a&gt; for a Neopolitan-style pie. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p id="rI5k67"&gt;This isn’t typically a corridor for fine dining, but &lt;a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/best-new-restaurants-in-texas-2024/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Texas Monthly&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; recently crowned &lt;a href="http://www.quarteracrerestaurant.com/"&gt;Quarter Acre&lt;/a&gt;, a New Zealand-inspired restaurant focused on fire-roasted mains, one of the best new places in Texas to eat. We agree, &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2023/1/13/23550231/quarter-acre-photos-menu-opening"&gt;chef Toby Archibald&lt;/a&gt; is doing a killer job. The smoked beef tartare is a signature dish that must be tried, and many of the meats are cooked in a smoker that aligns with cooking over a campfire on Pacific Ocean beach. Get in while it’s hot. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id="know"&gt;How to Spend a Day Eating in DFW&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="Akl6PQ"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start at &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sugarandsagebakery.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sugar &amp;amp; Sage Bakery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for an &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/maps/dallas-fort-worth-best-coffee-shops"&gt;amazing cup of coffee&lt;/a&gt; and a sweet or savory baked treat to start the morning. This locally-owned shop changes its menu seasonally and has and on-site baker who creates the most delectable confections. Linger for as long as you like in it’s marbled interiors or hang out on the hidden patio out back if the weather allows. It’s a wonderful place to catch up with a few friends or sit and read a book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="i8SDs3"&gt;For lunch, head down to Oak Cliff and grab a sandwich or salad at &lt;a href="https://www.labodegaoakcliff.com/"&gt;La Bodega Rotisserie and Goods&lt;/a&gt;. There are always excellent specials going on along with the regular — and it’s got Mexican Coke in the bottle or iced coffee. You can’t go wrong with the tuna and white beasn salad or the tomato and burrata sandwich on fresh bread. This grab and go spot has limited seating, so head to a nearby park to eat and then stroll around the walkable Bishop Arts — and maybe stop into &lt;a href="http://oddfellowsdallas.com/"&gt;Oddfellows&lt;/a&gt; to try its &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2023/11/13/23954236/natural-wine-dallas"&gt;natural wine program&lt;/a&gt; or a craft coffee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="c-float-right"&gt;  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt=" " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/oopDwldmvxO2FdQzHuvSXruxeOw=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24921961/Cuisines_Zalkus_v1_150dpi.png"&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="5pLSUj"&gt;For dinner, you want to land a reservation at &lt;a href="https://www.viatriozzi.com/"&gt;Via Triozzi&lt;/a&gt;. This Italian restaurant on Lower Greenville is one of the hottest places in town with good reason. It’s small, seasonal menu developed by &lt;a href="https://dallas.eater.com/2023/8/22/23839931/via-triozzi-restaurant-opening-photos-menu"&gt;owner and Dallas local Leigh Hutchinson&lt;/a&gt; reflects her family favorites from Sicily and her time studying in the country. The mozarella is pulled in house and the pasta is all house-made — both are daily in the pasta room at the front of the restaurant. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="JNUBcZ"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.barcolette.com/"&gt;Bar Colette&lt;/a&gt; is the spot to go for a nightcap after all of that. Bar director Ruben Rolon is a master with a cocktail, putting unexpected flavors and ingredients together to create incredible concoctions. The space itself is a groovy mix of Art Deco and modern design — like the cocktails, a couple of things that shouldn’t work together but absolutely do. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="ddRF4v"&gt;If you’re looking for somewhere a little more down and dirty to party late into the night, hit up &lt;a href="https://www.wedothisandthat.com/doubledsdallas"&gt;Double D’s&lt;/a&gt; in the Design District. It’s got DJ’s, classic cocktails with a sense of humor, non-alcoholic options galore, and you can pick between the bar or the dance floor as you see fit rather than getting dragged into the middle of it all.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;figcaption&gt;A classic bowl at La Stella Cucina Verace | Kathy Tran&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;From old-school red sauce joints to sleek newcomers, these Italian eateries have it all &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="JsYjyt"&gt;There’s nothing more comforting than enjoying a giant bowl of pasta paired with red wine. A slew of new Italian places have opened in the city over the past year, and there are still plenty of old school spots to satisfy a craving for pasta lacquered in red sauce, towering lasagna, and so much more. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="xhlHy8"&gt;At each of these essential Dallas Italian restaurants, a variety of cuisines and price points await. Go forth, and eat as much lasagna as humanly possible. &lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Dallas May Not Have an Erewhon, But It Does Have a Smoothie King Drink Created by Influencers</title>
    <content type="html">  

    &lt;figure&gt;
      &lt;img alt="A smoothie in a Smoothie King cup branded with the Dude Perfect guys sits on a background with a red straw in it. The smoothie is blue-green." src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ojUyA8dFf1yxvC38rHhw-GdjWvc=/390x0:6619x4672/1310x983/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73204098/SMOOTHIE_STRAW_INSIDE__7_.0.jpg" /&gt;
        &lt;figcaption&gt;This sucker packs a whopping 14 grams of protein, let’s go | Smoothie King&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The Dude Perfect guys made a smoothie and we were influenced to drink it&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="kIz6xP"&gt;What does influence taste like? Turns out, it tastes pretty sweet, and looks &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; blue-green. Like blue spirulina, to be specific. That’s the ingredient &lt;a href="https://www.smoothieking.com/"&gt;Smoothie King&lt;/a&gt;, which is based in Coppell, is using inside this limited-time creation, developed in collaboration with &lt;a href="https://dudeperfect.com/"&gt;Dude Perfect&lt;/a&gt;, a group of mega-influencers whose home base is a compound in Plano. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="TCJeuP"&gt;We’re not using the word mega-influencers lightly. Famous for their “trick shot”-style videos, the Dude Perfect brand has &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRijo3ddMTht_IHyNSNXpNQ"&gt;over 60 million YouTube subscribers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/dudeperfect/?hl=en"&gt;12 million Instagram followers&lt;/a&gt;, and more than &lt;a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dudeperfect?lang=en"&gt;18 million followers on TikTok&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="Cy1nRY"&gt;Lori Primavera, head of research and development at Smoothie King says the five “Dudes’’ were already fans of the chain from their college days at Texas A&amp;amp;M when they came to the company headquarters. The Smoothie King R&amp;amp;D team got them behind the smoothie bar and they started experimenting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="VucUXo"&gt;Primavera says that together with the Smoothie King team, the Dudes “created and tasted a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; of smoothies in the Test Kitchen that day,” but it was when someone added the blue spirulina that they said, “that is the color our smoothie needs to be.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="3blhRc"&gt;True to influencer instincts, they determined how they wanted the final blend to look even before nailing down the ingredients. And the process was not all smooth sailing. “There was one version with strawberry that turned the blend kinda brownish purple, which wasn’t too appetizing,” Primavera says.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
        &lt;img alt="Three men stand behind a Smoothie King counter. One stands on a ladder with his arms raised. A second is tossing blue powder in the air from a blender. The third smiles, peaking out from behind a curtain. " data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/sn2L075Wx_9k8WkxHDBLjqf00xg=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25334016/DUDES_STILLS__3_.jpg"&gt;
      &lt;cite&gt;Smoothie King&lt;/cite&gt;
      &lt;figcaption&gt;Dude, where’s my blue spirulina? &lt;/figcaption&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p id="xF0QmV"&gt;Eater also reached out to the Dude Perfect team, who were out of the country, so Coby Cotton answered our questions via email. When we asked how many different blends the team tried in the course of their smoothie quest, and whether brain freeze was an issue, Cotton replied, “All five of us attempted to come up with our own blend for the Dude Perfect smoothie. In the end, my tasty creation was the winner. Brain freeze was only a minor setback in the process!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="HXnqkv"&gt;The team tried creating a chocolatey version, but felt it was too basic. “The dudes definitely wanted it to stand out,” Primavera says. “They had to think about wide approval,” she says. “This one had too much pineapple, that one didn’t have enough banana, etcetera.” Eventually, the group used a tournament-style process to land a recipe. “Tyler may or may not have tried to use potatoes,” Cotton says. Eventually, the team decided on a recipe they thought everyone would love. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="tUbnzz"&gt;&lt;div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k4Lc3q8sqOI?rel=0" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p id="LntrfT"&gt;In the end, that winning combo – dubbed the Dude Perfect Smoothie – is a combination of “pineapples, bananas, kiwi-apple juice, a protein blend, vanilla frozen yogurt, turbinado,” and the aforementioned blue spirulina, that delivers a whopping 14 grams of protein. (Suck on that, Erewhon.) The banana, protein powder, and yogurt are the most notable flavors, but overall it tastes like a typical Smoothie King product. Nothing that’ll knock the peels off your bananas, in other words.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="PJv9iQ"&gt;While you still can’t get Kourtney Kardashian or Hailey Bieber’s &lt;a href="https://shop.erewhonmarket.com/subcategory/22012/smoothies"&gt;Erewhan smoothies&lt;/a&gt; in DFW, you can get the Dude Perfect Smoothie. It launched Tuesday, March 12 in Smoothie King stores nation-wide.&lt;/p&gt;
