Afghan grill looks nice. We have a place in Baltimore, The Helmand, which is owned by Karzai's brother.

wine+art,

What are some of your favorite places in Dallas to eat, in case I want to take some family out for dinner?

spo,

Key word is Dallas. We tend to dine in the city, not in the burbs much. A few to consider including in the burbs are...

LoLa's ... Dallas
Arcodoro... Dallas
Local... Dallas
Trece... Dallas
Tramontana... Dallas
Olivella'a...Dallas
Cafe Pacific...Dallas
Little Katana...Dallas
Mirabelle... Plano
Jasper's ... Plano
Ferrari's... Addison

Just to name a few. Wink

It might be best to email me and tell me what type of food you all are looking for, then we can go from there.

Soon!

Ah,I see.

Head to Nick & Sam's

www.nick-sams.com

LoLa's would not be a good fit, but anyway.

www.lola4dinner.com

Let me know if Nick & Sam's does not work.

I do like Italian reds. From Barbera and Chinati to Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Anything like that would be nice. Thanks for asking.
