Here in New York we can get ribs that claim influences from cities from Memphis to Kansas City. We can get chicken fried like they do in Kentucky and Maryland. But there’s only one thing we can get from the Big D that we can’t from any other place. Something so unique; so tasty it will even let you forgive that city for hoisting “America’s Team” on the country.
J J you can keep the Cowboys as Dallas’s team as long New York gets to keep Dallas BBQ .
And it’s not the bbq that makes Dallas BBQ the institution that it has become in New York.
Scan those starters. Bypass the “Crispy Shrimp, ” the “new” “Angry Shrimp,” the “Crabcakes, and stop right there on number4; at the dish that immortalized Dallas BBQ forever. The magnificent mountain that is the “Onion Loaf.”
Start picking the mound apart with your fingers. Get your hands greasy. Don’t worry, moist towelettes are thoughtfully provided by management. Ketchup? No need.
Go ahead, finish it all. Sure you’ll pay for your indulgence within moments after scooping up the last sweet greasy strip of deep fried onion, but the discomfort you might feel will be quickly forgotten. Give it a few days and you’ll be jonesing for your next Dallas BBQ onion loaf (best in NYC) fix.
Ok I think it a good idea to share here. No one person should have the responsibility to eat the whole thing. Looks Yummy!
