Haystack Burgers & Barley, the neighborhood burger spot known for their fresh, house made burgers and warm hospitality, is set to open their fifth DFW location on Monday, December 12 in Preston Hollow at 11700 Preston Rd #732, Dallas, TX 75230. The restaurant will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
Haystack currently has four other locations in Richardson Heights, Lakewood, Hillcrest Village and Frisco. The restaurant uses the highest-quality ingredients, makes all sauces and dressings from scratch and does not have any microwaves or freezers.
We have written about the history of chili, and Dallas is definitely a large part of that. The original Tolbert’s downtown served some of the best chili that could be found on the planet. Also, the original Chilis’, the chain that can be found just about anywhere, opened over 40 years ago by Larry Lavine at the now-defunct Greenville Avenue and Meadow location served fantastic chili back in the day, with a recipe inspired by the first chili cook-off in Terlingua. By the way, Terlingua’s Chili cookoff(s) are the first week in November.
As we do each year, we bring you our favorite bowls of chili in the DFW area. Please note there is not a bean to be found on this list. If you do enjoy beans with your chili, we invite you to check out another article we wrote some time ago on the subject. But feel free to legume!
This year a few favorites fell off the list, not due to a bad chili, but rather they removed the item from their menu. It may return as it gets colder, but sayonara CBD Provisions, Ferris Wheelers and Katy Trail Ice House. They all have amazing food.
We will be visiting Dallas area neighborhoods in the coming weeks to ferret out the very best cuisine by sections of real estate. Some of the best bites are found in pockets of town that remain hidden to only those who live nearby, and we plan to taste our way through them all. If you have a favorite neighborhood treat please drop us a line.
This week we checked out the nooks and crannies of Richardson and list the very best. Some may be familiar, others perhaps not so much. Continue reading →

I am pleased to report that there are more chili offerings this year than last, and many have upped the ante in developing a perfect bowl. With temperatures dipping into freezing ranges in the coming month, what a perfect opportunity to go out and taste a bowl for yourself. Continue reading →
