    5 over-the-top foodie adventures happening in Dallas-Fort Worth

    Those seeking extreme foodie adventures in Dallas-Fort Worth have an especially rich field during the weekend of March 19-21, with five crazy options that range from a four-pound taco to a turkey leg pop-up that's already drawing huge crowds.

    If you like it outrageous, if you like it free, and if you like to wait in line, there's a little something for everyone here.

    Here are 5 over-the-top foodie finds:

    Turkey leg pop-up
    Probably the biggest thing is the weekend-long pop-up by Turkey Leg Hut, a mom-and-pop from Houston, who are hosting a food truck event in Fort Worth, serving their signature turkey legs and assorted Gulf treats. The pop-up is a drive-thru event at the Spring Harvest Fair at 1270 Woodhaven Blvd. in Fort Worth, and is, according to social media posts, already a crazy scene on Day One, with hundreds of cars lined up as if they were going to a sporting event.

    The turkey legs are smoked and stuffed with ingredients like dirty rice or mac and cheese. In Houston, they draw regular visits by celebrities. They'll be open from 11 am-12 am all three days, and in addition to turkey legs, will have crawfish for $7.50 a pound.

    Mega-taco
    Vidorra, the Mexican restaurant with locations in Deep Ellum and Addison, is usually known for good Mexican food and drinks. But it's also a dabbler in extreme-size items such as its large-fomat Guadalajaran, a $60 cocktail meant to share, with tequila, mezcal, and juice.

    Its newest horrific creation is El Jefe!, a four-pound, 18-inch taco for $28 which serves two to six, depending on your level of gluttony. It has an 18-inch giant jalapeño cheddar flour tortilla that's fried until crisp, then stuffed with taco beef, chorizo, lettuce, cheese, queso, pico de gallo, guacamole and jalapeños.

    Is it dumb? Probably. Are we writing about it? Most definitely.

    Free macaron
    On March 20, Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie, the bakery in Dallas' West Village, is doing a macaron giveway: One free churro-flavored macaron to every customer fom 8 am-5 pm.

    Going out of your way for a free macaron might seem incidental (depending on how much you like free things), but the churro macarons, inspired by Mexico's cinnamon and sugar fried dough pastries, are a limited-edition flavor only available on this day.

    Margarita beer
    Manhattan Project Beer Co. has a limited-edition release that's available in the taproom-only: a margarita-flavored beer.

    The release came about after the brewery inherited some tequila barrels that allowed them to act upon a longtime fantasy to do a margarita-inspired beer. Their original goal was to have it ready for Cinco de Mayo, but after they'd brewed an imperial version of Bikini Atoll and let it rest in the tequila barrels, it soaked it up so quickly that it's ready now.

    This was a small batch, so they anticipate the beer will sell out over the weekend. They've started a second batch that will be ready in late summer.

    Absurd steak
    One of the most ridiculous arrivals in Dallas recently, maybe even all time, is Nusr-Et Steakhouse, the restaurant from over-the-top Turkish chef and Instagram sensation Nusret "Salt Bae" Gökçe, which opened at 1900 N. Pearl St. on March 4.

    The various steaks and burgers on the menu run a distant second to the horridly-mesmerizing show that Salt Bae puts on, which can be peeked on his Instagram page, highlighted by his signature cringey move of salting your food at your table by running the salt down his forearm.

    There's little of culinary interest at Nusr-Et, it's all about the show, about watching him toss around knives and slices of meat like a carny act. But in a town full of over-the-top steakhouses, Nusr-Et takes it to the absurd extreme.

    School Cafeteria News

    Unusual new restaurant in Lewisville summons Korean school cafeteria

    F&F on the Go

    An adorable restaurant that serves up a Korean school lunch has opened in Lewisville: Called F&F On The Go, it's at 2405 S. Stemmons Fwy. #201, on the second floor of Korean specialty Zion Market, where it specializes in Geupshik — a Korean custom that refers to the homestyle lunch meals provided by schools or companies.

    At F&F, you get a pre-set meal, served in a stainless steel tray with compartments for the different courses. You make two choices: black or white rice and your protein, from choices such as Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, Spicy Squid, and Salmon Steak.

    Everey meal comes with the banchan, or Korean side dishes, which the restaurant rotates daily — there's usually a salad and kim chi — plus a classic Japanese yogurt drink called “Yakult."

    For $14.99, you get an authentic, yet approachable taste of Korean comfort food, says co-founder Eric Song.

    “It’s a unique concept in DFW that blends Korean and Japanese flavors with a nostalgic touch,” Song says.

    F&F On The Go is part of the growing Fast and Furious brand, which launched in Irving in 2013, where Song is head of operations and brand development. Their first concept was F&F Japanese Grill, a fast-casual hibachi restaurant featuring Korean and Japanese fusion cuisine which now has locations in Addison, Plano, Frisco, and Greenville Avenue.

    In 2016, they expanded with a food truck, F&F Express, which makes K-style bowls.

    With F&F On The Go, Song wanted to create a casual, but high-quality dining experience inspired by the nostalgic Korean school lunch style.

    The presentation was designed to bring a touch of nostalgia, yet be appealing to diners unfamiliar with the style or dishes. The counter and seating area have a clean finish while capturing the essence of a Korean school cafeteria. The word “Geupshik” (급식) in Korean literally means "school meal" or "lunch service."

    The restaurant is in a multicultural area north of the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Lewisville — surrounded by sushi restaurants and Korean street food stores.

    “We chose the location based on strong community presence and growing demand for Asian comfort food in the area,” Song says.
