Best Restaurants to Road Trip to From Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Chef Andrew Black took home Best Chef: Southwest at the 2023 James Beard Awards. While he also owns Black Walnut and Perle Mesta in the Skirvin Hilton Hotel, the swank environs of Grey Sweater and its globally inspired tasting menu brought home the gold. The menu changes with the seasons and whims of the chef, but the cocktail menu always includes signatures like No Allegiance 2.0 (oxtail fat-washed rye, sherry, house-made fermented apple pie bitters, hand-carved clear ice block, and orange peel) and the Oaxacan Smoke Show (mezcal, smoked black tea cordial, Fernet Vallet, ice block, and burnt orange). - Dave Cathey, Eater contributor" - Courtney E.
