Certain restaurants are known for their expertise at turning out signature foods really well. They've pinned down the ingredients, mastered the process, and gained a strong following as a result. Dallas has had much success creating a substantial market for Barbecue. Locals can't get enough of the city's excellent food, and you'll often find them, along with eager tourists, at popular Mike Anderson's BBQ House or at Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse, a major player in the field. Make sure you see what all the fuss is about!
