As all of you know (or should know!), our 100 Best Restaurants issue is out on newsstands, and we couldn’t be more proud of it. Nancy worked her tail end off, writing 100 blurbs for each of the honorees. One hundred blurbs, my friends, is not an easy task. On Wednesday night, our company put on a big, glamorous party for everyone in the city. (Apologies for the lateness of this post; we just received the photos.) It was a huge sell-out. I think about 500 people made it out to the party. We had almost 70 representatives from 100 of the best restaurants show up at 3015 at Trinity Groves. Mom-and-pop shop owners who don’t get nearly enough recognition stood alongside people like John Tesar, who everybody knows by now. Several people have told me how glad they were to discover Mughlai, one of Nancy’s favorite Indian places, at the party, where they got to taste the food, too.
I tell you, as objectively as I possibly can, that Wednesday was one of those great nights for the Dallas restaurant industry. I’ve never seen so many owners/chefs/food-loving people all under one roof.
Check out a replay of Nancy’s pieing and our reveal of the top 10 restaurants in this city.
