Not long ago, the vegetarian at a Dallas steakhouse got a sad side salad and little else. Today, that same diner might order a rainbow carrot Wellington that outshines the ribeye. Plant-based dishes have gone from afterthought to headline across DFW.

This is not a passing fad but a genuine shift. Industry trackers publish Vegetarian related articles showing how fast plant-based demand is growing, and local menus are keeping pace. This guide covers what is driving the change and how DFW chefs are doing it well.

Retro Movie Review: Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)

There is a moment early in Yankee Doodle Dandy when James Cagney, playing George M. Cohan as a boy performing on a vaudeville stage, turns to the audience with his chin out and his eyes bright and something in his posture that says: I know exactly what I’m doing and I know you know it too. He’s maybe twenty seconds into the performance. The audience in the film laughs. The audience watching the film laughs. Eighty years later, nothing about it has aged.

Why Serious Barbecue People Drive to Gamma Road on a Wednesday

Todd and Misty David started Cattleack Barbeque in 2010 as something to do in retirement. That plan did not survive contact with the public. Word got out, lines formed, and what was supposed to be a quiet hobby turned into one of the most decorated barbecue operations in North Texas. In 2023, Todd sold the business to Andrew Castelan, a 34-year-old former accountant who had been working there long enough to know what he was getting into. The name is a pun on Cadillac.

Nativo Café y Bodega Is the Most Personal New Coffee Shop in Fort Worth

Karla Orta started selling native plants out of the back of her RAV4. Then her parents’ driveway. Then she opened a nursery on White Settlement Road in Fort Worth, and when people kept showing up and lingering, she put a café next to it. Nativo Café y Bodega opened May 16, and the two businesses now sit side by side at 1701 White Settlement Road — native plants on one side, espresso and focaccia on the other.

The Fort Worth Restaurant with No Prices on the Menu

The menu at Taste Community Restaurant has no prices on it. That is not an oversight. It is the entire idea.

Chef Jeff Williams and his wife Julie opened Taste on December 5, 2017, at 1200 S. Main Street on Fort Worth’s Near Southside — the city’s largest food desert — with a straightforward premise: pay what you can, pay what you want, or pay nothing at all. Nobody is turned away. Nobody is asked to explain themselves. You walk in, you order, you eat, and you leave whatever feels right.

Parlor Doughnuts Is Coming to Henderson Avenue; Here’s Where to Find One in DFW Right Now

Parlor Doughnuts is coming to Henderson Avenue, and if you’ve been watching the construction at 2802 N. Henderson — the small standalone building that used to be a clothing store — that’s what’s going in. No confirmed open date yet, but the brand is on the official website, the address is live, and franchisee Ben Burkett has been talking about it since early 2026. “You have all these great restaurants and nightlife but no place for people in the neighborhood to bring their kids and grab a doughnut and coffee,” he said when the deal was announced. He’s not wrong about the gap.
