Interesting group. The D Mag cover art comes from Miss Pasta, which I raved about in the "Dallas | Italian" thread. It's fantastic in every way but one -- it's a loooooong way from my house.
Here it is:
Goldie's -- Lake Highlands bistro that went in space where RM 12:20 was located
Tacos El Metro -- Mexico City-inspired taqueria next door to Step Up Lounge on Walnut Hill (where Goldie's couldn't be further away from, El Metro couldn't be closer)
Sanjh -- Indian restaurant located in Irving
Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge -- on Lovers right by the Tollroad, brought to you by former Inwood Tavern/current The Ivy owners Nikki & Tom Georgalis (been meaning to check it out)
Goodwins -- Middle Greenville joint that went in where the OG Blue Goose was for many years; neighborhood restaurant (leadership team has ties to The Grape, Neighborhood Services, Town Hearth, etc)
Bali Street Cafe -- tiny Indonesian restaurant in Oak Lawn
Pizzeria Carina -- great little pizza joint in Preston Center, owned by incredibly nice Ukrainian guy (I've hyped this place in the "Dallas | Pizza" thread)
Mabo -- $200/person culinary experience/show from former Teppo head chef Masayuki Otaka in the Park Cities; would love to experience this once, I think
Miss Pasta -- wonderful, no-frills Italian in Richardson from former food people behind Mille Lire (this place is just fantastic and I'm waiting for more locations closer to me -- I think the plan has always been to make this a multi-location concept) -- you stand in line to order and pasta comes out in paper bowls
Nuri Steakhouse -- $20M personally-funded steakhouse on Cedar Springs from Smoothie King founder Wan Kim
Meat Papi -- small BBQ operation over in Design District fusing Texas BBQ flavors with owner/chef's Venezuelan and Chicago roots; it's part of the Outfit Brewing group (definitely gonna check this place out
