Twisted Root Burger Company
	"With high-quality made-to-order burgers, a ‘come as you are’ environment and a strange reverence for Chuck Norris, there’s no place else quite like Twisted Root. Way back before ‘gourmet burgers’ was a thing, Chefs Jason Boso & Quincy Hart decided to build a restaurant around half-pound, fresh ground burgers with a menu that allowed customers to build their own burgers with a list of crazy and inventive toppings. The two met in culinary school, after jobs in stock brokerages and telephone line repair. After paying their dues working the line at The Four Seasons and Pappas Bros, Jason and Quincy finally opened Twisted Root Burger Co. in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas, Texas in 2006. Twisted Root appeared on the second season of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri (2009) and suddenly Twisted Root was a dining destination in Dallas. While Twisted Root Burger Co. has seen incredible growth, Jason & Quincy have stuck to their roots and their senses of humor, using a hands-on approach to high-quality, fresh food in an casual atmosphere with tons of personality." Hours: Mon-Sun: 11am - 10pm

Lockhart Smokehouse (#1 Rated BBQ)
	"Showing up somewhere on almost every list of favorites, Lockhart’s Central Texas-style BBQ takes the top spot. Jack Perkins of Slow Bone said that, "Lockhart connects us to the tradition of Texas BBQ. Their motto is, 'No Sauce No Forks'. They stick to their guns, letting people enjoy the flavor of the meat, rub, and smoke." With techniques that go back generations (the place was started by the granddaughter of a dude who ran Kreuz Market for decades), you can taste the difference in their moist, peppery hunks of brisket (and it’s beefier, leaner cousin shoulder clod) coming out of their Bewley smoker. Worth noting: their pitmaster declined to participate in the survey, saying he only eats his own 'cue. Apparently he's making the right decision." Hours: Daily: 11am - Until it sells out
