"Dining at Fearing’s in the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, I found Chef Dean Fearing’s influence everywhere—he helped put Dallas on the culinary map and you might spot him checking on tables in cowboy boots and jeans under his chef whites; his famous tortilla soup still feels legendary, the chicken-fried lobster is a showstopper, and the restaurant is a Michelin-listed brunch favorite." - AFAR
