"In what can feel like a steak-and-potatoes town, Written By The Seasons makes the case for Dallas as a pan-seared-branzino-and-radicchio-salad kind of place. A bright and airy Bishop Arts staple that just opened a second branch Uptown, Written goes heavy on the veg, whether that’s roasted, tossed in a salad, or blended into a soup. The bread is some of the best on either side of the Trinity, including a cherry tomato-studded focaccia and a zingy sourdough. Dunk the latter into the briny, red orange broth beneath a heap of Dutch Acadian mussels." - Rosin Saez
