Chowing down with the masses

When it comes down to locating the best places to eat around DFW, I believe the electronic version of Dallas Morning News’ GuideLive is the most comprehensive and well-publicized. They provide thorough coverage of entertainment information around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including movies, music, and events.

However, I not always in agreement with their restaurant reviews and tend to think of their opinions as slanted in favor of the latest trends in dining (i.e. asian “fusion”).

Recently I’ve discovered Chowhound.com to be a more accurate reflection of the dining scene in DFW. The forums are full of debates by enthusiast diners over the “best of” Dallas dining. You find less culinary conceits and politics of the expert palates reviewing for the Guide, and more cheery opinions from the humble Dallasite who just enjoys good food when they eat it.
