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 membuka pintunya untuk bisnis pada tahun 1976 di sudut Lemmon dan Mockingbird dengan nama Big John's. Tak lama kemudian, persimpangan yang sibuk itu dipenuhi dengan aroma hickory yang memikat.
Asap hickory ini menjadi makanan khas di lingkungan tersebut, sehingga pemiliknya, John Reaves, mendapat julukan Smokey John dan menarik pelanggan untuk menikmati masakan rumahan yang lezat. Tak lama kemudian, namanya berubah, namun makanannya semakin enak, sehingga mendapat apresiasi dari para pecinta barbekyu di mana-mana. Restoran favorit di Dallas ini juga dinobatkan sebagai Pemenang Penghargaan Big Tex Choice 2016 oleh State Fair of Texas.
Wingfield's Breakfast & Burgers
Tidak semua burger dibuat sama. Dan jika Anda pernah makan burger Wingfield, Anda pasti tahu apa yang kami bicarakan. Sebagai rumah bagi salah satu burger terbesar di Dallas, roti Wingfield hampir memenuhi syarat untuk kode pos mereka sendiri.
Tempat makan burger ikonis ini telah memanggang burger berukuran besar selama lebih dari 30 tahun. Dan tidak peduli seberapa laparnya Anda, Anda pasti akan pulang dengan rasa puas. Burger satu patty dihargai mulai dari $7, sedangkan burger tiga patty seharga $15 - harga yang murah untuk makanan seenak ini.
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.
Kecintaan pembuat roti Tracy German terhadap memanggang mengilhaminya untuk membuka toko dengan bantuan program inkubator Trinity Groves. "Membuat makanan untuk orang lain adalah hal yang sangat pribadi, dan menghubungkan Anda dengan setiap orang," katanya.
