Charlie Palmer is one of my favorites in Dallas. He’s got a great cured meat platter there. Scott Romano is the chef de cuisine and his buffalo ribeye is really good.

FIRESIDE PIES
It’s a wood-burning pizza place. He’s curing his own meats and he’s got some great ingredients, and really good cocktails. Just a cool little hip spot that just opened.

JOE T. GARCIA’S
It’s a very cool and iconic spot. They only serve one thing; it’s an enchilada dinner, so you don’t have to make any choices. You’ll want to get the special margaritas and plan on not going back to anything else afterwards!

MASSEY’S
For chicken fried steak. It’s probably some of the best chicken fried steak around, for sure! It’s just a little diner.

When I go to New York, I have to eat at Lupa. The ricotta gnocchi are unbelievable. I always eat lunch there. I go with a couple of friends and we have a three hour lunch and it’s amazing. The simplicity, the food is always solid, the chef is great.

DRINKS - TEQUILA
CASA NOBLE
Available at the following retailers.
It’s organic and the only 100% organic tequila out there right now. It’s got a good roasty wood flavor to it.
Tequila
MILAGRO
Available at the following retailers.
Their platinum silver is really really awesome. It’s super clean and fresh with really light hints of all the tequila flavors, but nothing over powering. It’s great for hot afternoons and things like that, just on ice with a little lime.
Tequila
PATRON
Available at the following retailers.
As much as everyone will hate for me to say this, I think Patron makes a great silver tequila. Even if they mass produce. If it’s good, it’s good and it is good.
Tequila
GRILL
HASTY-BAKE SMOKER GRILL
My signature gift I give for my friends who get married is a Hasty-Bake smoker grill, which is awesome.

They make the best butcher blocks in the world. It’s an awesome giant bad ass meat block.

KNIFE
SHUN 8 INCH CHEF KNIFE
Purchase on Amazon.com.
It’s super versatile, I like the weight of it, I think it holds a really good edge, I feel like I go through knives like butter almost. I’m pretty hard on knives and they seem to last pretty good.
