About this episode
The episode discusses the opening of a new restaurant in Dallas and explores the prevalence of chain restaurants in the D-FW area.
Dallas has a new restaurant worth talking about — and we're talking about it. This week we dig into the highly anticipated opening of Oloyo, plus a visit to Alma Cafe. Then things get a little chaotic in the best way: food writer Sarah Blaskovich breaks down her deep dive into just how many chain restaurants call D-FW home. Spoiler: it's a lot. We also heard from you — the chains you wish would finally show up in North Texas. Some answers were surprising. Some were very, very not. Learn more about your ad choices.
