Editor’s Note: Eat Drink D-FW is hosted by Dallas Morning News Food Editor Erin Booke with food reporters Sarah Blaskovich and Claire Ballor. Each week, our food journalists dish, debate and analyze local restaurant news, food and drink trends, tips for cooking and shopping, and other obsessions. You’ll also hear from chefs, farmers and foodies like yourself as we explore the people who make D-FW one of the most vibrant, diverse and ambitious food scenes in the country.
Eat Drink D-FW from The Dallas Morning News is made possible by Central Market. All editorial decisions are made by The News.
On the road: Food trucks, taco tours, and Black food history by bus
Grab your grub to go this week as we explore a lot of food on wheels. Listen as food editor Erin Booke talks about the new Dallas food truck rules with Dallas Morning News city government reporter Everton Bailey Jr., then chats with Deah Berry Mitchell about the relaunch of the Soul of DFW food and Black history bus tours, and why oral history is so important to learning about Black food culture. And for a special bonus, Texas Monthly Taco Editor José Ralat stops by to talk about “why there’s no better place to be eating Mexican food than in Texas right now,” and how Dallas fits into that. (We definitely need more puffy tacos.)
