Have a Tex-Mex Culinary Hoot in Dallas
by Gabby Hyman CulinaryEd Columnist October 16, 2006 Cosmopolitan Dallas no longer shows much trace of the wind-swept prairie land that was founded as a stage stop and trading post by Arkansas native Joe Dallas in 1841. Historically known for hearty barbecue and steakhouse faire, Dallas is regarded today as a sprawling, lively city that enjoys itself with a celebrated international cuisine. Those who live, work, and study in Dallas take culinary delight in everything from roadhouses and taverns to five-star restaurants. More than 1.5 million Dallas residents, and another 500,000 people from the suburbs, enjoy contemporary Dallas. Sometimes it's cold in the winter (when there are Northerlies) and sizzling in summer (90s with high humidity), but little daunts Texans from enjoying the scorching Dallas nightlife and its far-flung recreational opportunities. Culinary Programs in Dallas Really CookIf you're enrolling in a Dallas culinary school, it's great to know that Dallas restaurants, hotels, and resorts and spas hire locally trained chefs and bakers. And when you're not in the culinary school kitchen, you'll be bounding around famous Dallas nightspots like Billy Bob's Texas Honky Tonk, Stan’s Blue Note, Deep Ellum, and Purgatory (with its five-floors of bars and dance floors).An outing to the West End Historic District will introduce you to more than 100 shops, clubs and restaurants in one location. Whether you're after traditional buttered rice, chicken fried steaks, and ribs, or looking for neo-fusion Tex-Mex, Australian spanner crab, or miso-glazed sea bass -- Dallas has it. Dallas--a Great Place to Study, an Even Greater Place to PlayThere's also a delightful abundance of lakes, streams, and rivers for the outdoors-oriented culinary school student, as well as Dallas' world-class Museum of Art, Dallas Arboretum and Zoo, White Rock Lake Park, and a full complement of professional sports teams. Eat hearty, study hearty, and play with abandon.About the Author Gabby Hyman has created online strategies and written content for Fortune 500 companies including eToys, GoTo.com, Siebel Systems, Microsoft Encarta, Avaya, and Nissan UK. |
