5 Black-Owned Restaurants You Have to Try
Celebrate Dallas' diverse culture with these fantastic black-owned restaurants.
Over the years, African-American chefs, bakers and caterers have built an iconic reputation for some of Big D's tastiest bites. Celebrate their achievements and enjoy some great food with these five favorites.
Smokey John's Bar-B-Que & Home Cooking
Smokey John's abrió sus puertas en 1976 en la esquina de Lemmon y Mockingbird bajo el nombre de Big John's. Pronto, la concurrida intersección se llenó del seductor aroma del nogal ardiente.
Este humo de nogal se convirtió en un elemento básico del barrio, lo que le valió al propietario John Reaves el apodo de Smokey John y atrajo a los clientes a probar la deliciosa comida casera. Muy pronto, el nombre cambió, pero la comida no hizo más que mejorar, para satisfacción de los amantes de la barbacoa de todo el mundo. Este favorito de Dallas también fue nombrado ganador del premio Big Tex Choice Award 2016 por la Feria Estatal de Texas.
Wingfield's Breakfast & Burgers
No todas las hamburguesas son iguales. Y si alguna vez has probado una hamburguesa Wingfield, sabes de lo que estamos hablando. Con una de las hamburguesas más grandes de Dallas, las hamburguesas de Wingfield casi tienen su propio código postal.
Esta emblemática hamburguesería lleva más de 30 años preparándolas a lo grande. Y no importa lo hambriento que creas estar, sin duda volverás a casa satisfecho. Las hamburguesas individuales cuestan a partir de 7 $, mientras que la monstruosa triple te costará 15 $, un pequeño precio a pagar por algo tan bueno.
The Island Spot Oak Cliff
Dallas' famous Jamaican Kitchen and Bar, The Island Spot, has expanded beyond its Carrollton location to a convenient spot at The Jefferson Tower development in Oak Cliff. Patrons can expect even more of the award-winning jerk chicken that has quickly morphed into a Dallas staple.
With the new installation of a wood fire grill, the favorite Jamaican jerk chicken will be as authentic as one can get outside of the island. The pimento wood and smoke techniques are similar to those found at Boston Bay Jerk Center in Jamaica – the home of the original jerk chicken.
Soulgood
A vegetarian and vegan food truck, Soulgood offers healthy organic foods to North Texans in a fresh and unique way. Chef Cynthia, a mother of three and cousin to Grammy award-winning gospel recording artist Tamela Mann, infuses her southern roots and her family's love of art into her meal creations.
She carefully sources and selects local produce and ingredients from organic farmers and suppliers. She only selects the best organic or responsibly grown whole ingredients for her recipes – from her Italian Po' Boy sandwiches to her Soulgood Street Tacos.
The Cake Bar
The Cake Bar, located in Trinity Groves, is a bakery and retail shop where you can enjoy a large selection of traditional, southern-style made-from-scratch cakes and confections on the spot or take them to go. You can feast on 16 different made-from-scratch cakes, a variety of pound cakes, quick breads, cookies, ice cream and assorted beverages.
La pasión de Tracy German por la repostería le llevó a abrir un negocio con la ayuda del programa de incubadoras Trinity Groves. "Hacer comida para la gente es algo muy personal y te conecta con cada persona", dice.
