"Roots Southern Table, about 20 minutes outside the city centre in Farmers Branch, is both restorative and reinvigorating—classic comfort food in digs elegant enough to impress both your grandma and your out-of-town coworkers. With a menu separated into sections called Down Home Roots and Modern Roots, they make regional Southern cuisine through the lens of the chef’s family recipe and childhood memories. My Mother’s Gumbo is an immediate classic, peppery and loaded with shrimp and scallions. And every order should include the duck fat fried chicken dusted in a housemade all-purpose creole seasoning, with skin so crunchy that the sound could burst champagne flutes like the opera singer in Looney Tunes." - Nick Rallo
