The August 1986 issue of D Magazine serves as a guide to the 12 best restaurants in Dallas at the time.
“With limited space, we want to tell you about the places to eat in, not the places not to eat in,” Liz Logan writes. “Still, even within this context of general excellence, some restaurants stand out.

The list of “D‘S Dozen” includes The Mansion on Turtle Creek, Cantina Laredo, The Grape, and Highland Park Cafeteria.
