Last week, 16 Dallas dishes went head-to-head in our most iconic dish bracket. You guys voted for your favorites and narrowed the selection to eight contenders.

The remaining dishes:

Bubba’s fried chicken: This 1929 Texaco services station-turned-diner located in the Park Cities has been cranking out crispy fried chicken since 1981.

El Fenix’s enchiladas: This dish is 99 years old, and they have never changed the recipe.

The Mansion’s tortilla soup: The dish originated at the Argyle Club in San Antonio, but Dean Fearing refined the recipe for The Mansion in 1981. It’s been a menu staple since 1980.

Mattito’s Bob Armstrong dip: Chile con queso, seasoned ground beef, sour cream, and guacamole? What’s not to love? The dip, named after former Texas Land Commissioner Bob Armstrong, originated in Austin, but soon became one of Dallas’ most notorious off-menu dishes.

Keller’s burger: The drive-up restaurant has been serving some of the best burgers in Dallas since the 1950s.

Fletcher’s corny dog: The best corn dog in the Lone Star State can be found annually at the State Fair of Texas. Don’t forget a glob of mustard.

Snuffer’s cheddar fries: The origin story of the dish is that one day, in 1980, a SMU student came in and asked if they could have cheese on their fries. The rest is history.

Neiman Marcus’ popovers: The complimentary pastry has been sating appetites since 1955.

Now go and vote.
