Our Favorite Dallas Food Instagram Posts from the Week

One of the best ways to scope out hot new restaurants and food trends in Dallas is by following area eaters, chefs, and food snobs on Instagram. We’re going to feature a handful of local ‘gramers each week on SideDish. Because it’s fun to see what other people are eating.

Frozen cotton candy anyone?!! That's right!!! On a mission to find something sweet to beat the heat we stumbled upon @SnowFactoryDallas!!! It's not shaved ice. Not frozen yogurt or ice cream. It's frozen cotton candy made with fruit and juice bases mixed with milk! About 150 calories per serving is all — depending on the toppings you choose. There's about 20 flavors and 30 combos to choose from! 🍧 Front: Taro with mochi and nuts 🍧 Back left: Guava with mochi and nuts 🍧 Back right: "Almond Joy" — Coconut with almonds, coconut flakes and chocolate syrup • • • #SnowFactoryDallas #NommingAbout

With delicious #vegan lunch spreads like this at places like @lovinghutarlingtontx, why would we choose anything but compassion? ✌🏼🌿💕 • • Please S W I P E 👈🏼 to meet the reason behind my blog + everything I do with this platform. 🐮 #fortheanimals • • I went to my first slaughterhouse vigil today @frontiermeats with @dallasanimalsave, to bear witness and to be with the animals in their last moments before death. 🙏🏼 I’ve never taken photos in a situation like this before. With shaking hands + tears clouding my vision, I tried my best to capture what these beautiful beings were feeling—pain, fear, anxiety, helplessness. They were so afraid. It broke my heart. I have more photos & a lot to express about this experience but I'll try to keep this post as brief as possible–extended blog post with all the photos to come later. 💔 • • Not long after this photo was taken, these cows were slaughtered for meat. Brutally. Mercilessly. We cannot forget: this is happening everywhere, everyday. For #beef #hamburgers #steak–is the violence truly worth it?? • • We are better than this inhumane insanity. We can stop this. Please. #choosecompassion #chooselove #choosevegan • • With #HarryPotter’s 20th anniversary this week, I’m trying to share a favorite quote each day. Here’s a relevant one: • • "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.” – Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Ch. 37 • • Deep down, I believe our hearts are the same. 💖 Everyone I know loves animals. No one in their right mind would ever agree with all the awful, fucked up shit that happens in factory farms + slaughterhouses. 💔 Please consider #MeatlessMondays at the very least, as a start—please remember these animals did not want to die for us. And if you need recipes/food inspiration, you already know, I’m ya girl! 🙋🏻 As always, DM me if you need any advice! 🌱 #govegan #eatlikeyougiveadamn
