Actor Michael Urie dishes on Chili’s, Whataburger and martinis

In this episode, The Dallas Morning News food team talks about their favorite dishes from the recently shuttered Homewood restaurant, plus barbecue feuds and how “hospitality got so hostile.” Then a very special guest — Plano-raised actor Michael Urie — stops by while in town directing “Silver Foxes” with Uptown Players. Michael talks about his childhood memories at Chili’s, how he introduced friends to Whataburger, his favorite new Dallas restaurant (hint: prime ribs and martinis), and why he never forgets to tip.
