Restaurant Of The Day

Digg’s Taco Shop

Dallas

Of all the taco joints springing up around town (is it the economy?), this newest en-try, in University Park, offers good value and a relaxing atmosphere (think blond-wood booths, dish towel napkins, and wee cacti in cans on the tables). We tackled the taco combo, choosing braised free-range chicken and grilled mahimahi plus a cup of black beans and a timbale of cilantro rice. We couldn’t resist the margarita popsicle for dessert; it goes down fine on a warm summer night. Beer, wine, & margaritas.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

For two years we’ve kicked around the idea of writing about Franklin Barbecue, in Austin. But what to do? Was it too local? Perhaps we were too biased because our offices were in Austin and many staffers had frequented the joint? It’s one thing for a story to be right under your nose. It’s another for it to be right under your nose and smelling like barbecue. Here’s the moving account of the history behind two Austin barbecue joints, Franklin Barbecue and 
JMueller BBQ.
