Dallas

Texas is known for Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine. Meso Maya serves up some of the best, with delicious authentic cuisine and great drinks in Dallas.

There are thousands of restaurants in Dallas. Make sure The Rustic is on your list. Great atmosphere, fantastic food, and a killer backyard for weekend fun. During my first seven years of working at Oklahoma State, I traveled with the football team to every away game. Long story short, that abruptly ended 2 years ago. At home games …

Located just blocks from downtown Dallas and next to the Dallas Farmer’s Market, Green Door Public House serves up outstanding food in a historic building. In June I spent a weekend in Dallas with Joni & Tony. That Saturday morning I got up early, drove down to the Dallas Farmer’s Market, and of course wrote …

I love farmer’s markets. About 15 years ago I discovered one on the north side of Baltimore.  It was an hour’s drive from my apartment in College Park, and my mom thought I was nuts for driving that far when there were other markets much closer. But this one was huge.  They had dozens of …

Most of my donor visits this year have been with club seat holders, but I have had a few meetings with suiteholders.  This was the case Friday morning, when I met with a brand new client in Dallas.  I figured since I was in Dallas anyway it would be a great opportunity to meet and …

I’ve made it my new mission to get out of Stillwater more often.  I like living here, and have made tons of great friends, but there’s only so much to do.  This town really caters more towards families and college kids.  And besides, OKC is really growing.  Spending more time there the last couple months …

Joni’s friend Dion had told us about a fun place in Dallas called Truck Yard. Since we didn’t have a plan for Saturday, we decided to meet her there and check it out. Its in Lower Greenville, an area with tons of restaurants, bars, and shops.  We drove through a couple areas that didn’t look the …

After our first day of working in the bowl game hospitality room, I was pretty hungry, but didn’t have tons of time because I had to be at 6th Street Uptown that evening for our first “social hour”.  Bob and his parents had driven down to Dallas that afternoon, so we decided to meet for dinner …

Okay, so back to posts about food… For the fan hospitality room at the Heart of Dallas Bowl, we decided to use The Owner’s Box, the sports bar restaurant at the team hotel.  It wasn’t ideal because while it has a sports bar feel, it is set up as more of a restaurant, but that …

When I’m out of town I don’t usually go out to eat for breakfast.  Normally I’ll just eat something light at the hotel or skip breakfast all together, and then focus more on lunch and dinner.  However, we got kind of a late start to the morning, and by the time we left the hotel …

When it comes to my parents, our eating out options are pretty simple, and usually boil down to Italian, Chinese, Thai or pizza.  When they’re here I add in Mexican as an option, and every once in a while will throw in an American option, just because. Regardless, I always check out the menu online, …

Wow, it’s been a month since I posted about a restaurant in this blog. That means I’ve got lots of work ahead of me, since we went to about 10 new restaurants in the past month. The evening of our site visit for the bowl game they hosted us for dinner at Texas Spice, the …
