  • Couldn’t love them more

    When I first was thrown into this podcast, it was via my Alexa playing my Dallas Morning News every day. It would start with these ladies on Friday which I yell at Alexa to skip. Finally, one day I listened. Now I’m hooked. I look forward to their stories explaining construction causing problems for the restaurant, their tips for places to go, and more informative stuff. When they go to the State Fair to rate all of the foods sold with price points, I feel like I should be there. The moment, I f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's a Meal Worth?
Q: How much is too much for dinner?
The group estimates about 200 dollars per person as a high-end benchmark, with some exceptions like a 295-dollar, 20-course experience that may be considered an adventure rather than a traditional dinner.
Summertime and the grilling is easy
Q: Do you recommend using a timer for something like that to keep those anxious people at bay?
Yes, if you're new to grilling or following a recipe, a timer helps ensure you cook meat for the recommended duration on each side and prevent under- or overcooking, especially when you're aiming for reliable grill marks and proper doneness.
Michelin on the mind
Q: Did you invent tortilla soup?
Fearing recounts the origin story of the tortilla soup at the Mansion, crediting a collaborative kitchen effort that transformed a handwritten recipe into the restaurant's signature dish.
Michelin on the mind
Q: Chef, how many years have you been a chef in Dallas specifically?
Dean Fearing replies with a timeline from his start in 1981 up to nearly 50 years, outlining his long-standing influence in Dallas dining and his roles at the Mansion and Fearing's.
Best burgers in Dallas
Q: Evan, what should people know about your methodology for picking Dallas' best burgers?
Evan explains a Dallas-focused approach, emphasizing regional availability, personal favorites, and the importance of how all components—from bun to toppings—contribute to the overall eating experience, not just the patty, while remaining open to input from the community.
