Foodie Baddie

I get a ton of requests for eats and I’m honored that you all think of me, but quite frankly, I just don’t have the time or capacity to send recommendations to all my followers. If you’re looking for recommendations, I will be offering a new service called Eat Here! EH! will allow you to purchase a custom list based on your palette with options around the metroplex or your relevant area. If you’re:

• looking for hot and new spots
• wanting hidden gems
• celebrating special occasions
• having visitors come into town
• a tourist coming to the DFW
• just want some recommendations

Using EH! would be perfect to get a tailored list for you. Until then, I wanted to drop my very own personal list of favorites here in the metroplex.
