Tarrant County folks: TAD is aggressive on initial appraisals but the informal hearing adjusters are reasonable. Bring your comps printed out.
35 minute wait on a Saturday is nothing compared to 2018 when it was 90+ minutes. The hype has normalized and honestly the experience is better for it.
The Lot in Deep Ellum is my go-to when I cannot decide what to eat. Walk around, see what looks good, eat three different things.
Black Swan is the bar that every other Deep Ellum bar wishes it was. No gimmicks, just excellent drinks.
Summer Moon's Moon Milk is basically legal drugs. I am addicted and not ashamed.
Meso Maya chilaquiles with a michelada is the ultimate hangover cure. Scientifically proven by my Saturday mornings.
Slow Bone in Design District is criminally underrated. The banana pudding alone is worth the trip.
Ana's Taqueria is a cheat code. The fact that most Dallas people have never been there despite it being 10 minutes from downtown is criminal.
La Banqueta on Jefferson is the correct answer. The suadero taco for $2.50 is better than anything you will pay $6 for in Uptown.
Fort Worth suburbs (Keller, Southlake, Colleyville) always get overlooked in these lists. The Tarrant County side is just as nice with less traffic.
DCAD website tip: use their property search to find your neighbors appraisals. If anyone on your street is lower per square foot, thats your evidence. Its on THEIR website.
Houndstooth is the gold standard for working. Fast WiFi, not too loud, and the staff does not give you dirty looks for staying 4 hours.
The Fort Worth vs Dallas comparison is accurate. I stopped going to Uptown for brunch when I realized I was paying 40% more for the same quality.
Slow Bone banana pudding is a religious experience. I am not exaggerating.
Turkey is the sleeper pick. Pecan Lodge smoked turkey is incredible and half the price of brisket.
Goldee's at #1 was deserved in 2021. They have slipped a bit but a "slipped" Goldee's is still better than 95% of BBQ in America.
Fuel City breakfast tacos at $2 are the best dollar-per-calorie deal in DFW. Fight me.
Esperanza's in Fort Worth is the correct answer for weekend breakfast. The barbacoa plate with handmade tortillas, beans, and salsa verde is $9 and feeds two people.
La Banqueta on Jefferson is the correct answer. The suadero taco for $2.50 is better than anything you will pay $6 for in Uptown.

Moved from Seattle 2 years ago. The electricity deregulation thing caught me off guard. My first summer bill was $480 because I had a variable rate plan. Fixed rate is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Tarrant County folks: TAD is aggressive on initial appraisals but the informal hearing adjusters are reasonable. Bring your comps printed out.
The move is Thursday lunch. 10 minute wait, same food, less chaos.
Press Cafe is Fort Worth's Bread Winners equivalent. A local institution that never disappoints.
Pecan Lodge mac and cheese is undefeated. I have tried every mac in DFW and nothing comes close.
The moist vs lean distinction is critical. I see transplants order lean and then complain the brisket is dry. YOU ORDERED THE DRY ONE.
