    Time to put away the summer bikinis and bring out the comfy caftans of fall, because this season in Dallas is a feeding frenzy. No matter what kind of cuisine you crave — burgers, veggies, tailgating snacks, or fair fare — there's a fête or festival for that. Add in all the wine and beer events, and your cup (and schedule) will runneth over. Here are the top events heating up the fall food scene.

    Fair Fare on the Square, September 1-30
    Visitors to downtown Garland can get a head start on State Fair-inspired flavors at this monthlong event. Participating eateries along Main, 5th, 6th, and State streets — all near Garland’s historic square — will serve up bites like Dr Pepper slushies, cotton candy iced tea, homemade Frito pie, churro flights, deep-fried funnel cake, Spam on a stick, corndogs, turkey legs, fried Oreos, and more. Make it a progressive dinner or return new tastes throughout the month.

    Everybody's Favorite Barbecue & Hot Sauce Festival, September 9-11
    This three-day festival travels around the country, and it'll make its first Texas stop of the season in The Colony before heading to Houston and San Antonio. Its aim is to celebrate the best barbecue in the country (no word on local vendors yet) and to showcase talented live acts — all with a spirit of diversity, in an outdoor setting. The festival also honors teachers, who can request free admission. Tickets are $20-$75.

    The Dallas Chocolate Festival, September 9-11
    The sweetest of all food events is back as an in-person three-day event at F.I.G. in downtown Dallas. Founded in 2009, it features world-renowned chocolate makers, samples, expertise, and sweets-a-plenty. New this year is a one-day conference for professionals, followed by the "main event" with exhibitors and samples, and a day of workshops on topics like pairing chocolate and whiskey. Tickets to the main event are $35, while workshops and other events range from $25 to $100, and are available online.

    36th Annual GrapeFest - A Texas Wine Experience, September 15-18
    Grapevine's signature event is the largest wine festival of the Southwest and boasts the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the nation. This year's festival will feature the best of Texas-grown wines, as well as selections from guest wineries in the California Sonoma Valley and the Italian Sicily region. In addition to signature events such as the People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic will be new VIP Experiences, with private tents, charcuterie boards, and more. Admission starts at $5.

    2022 World of Foodies, September 17
    The city of Carrollton is hosting this foodie event at 1106 S. Broadway St., where you are encouraged to bring your appetite to step into a world of international culture and cuisine.

A "Foodie Passport" for ages 21+ is $30, and gets you 10 food samples from vendors, an 8-ounce drink at the on-site bar, and a souvenir glass. The fun runs from 3-9 pm, and you can buy a ticket online.

    Dallasites101 1st Annual Seltzer Stroll, September 17
    Everyone's favorite influencers are hosting a fall bar crawl with a trendy seltzer theme. They've partnered with 7-plus bars in Deep Ellum for signature drinks, food specials, live music, and more. Check-in from 12-2 pm (location TBA) to receive your souvenir item, wristband, and map of the participating stops. For non-seltzer fans, there'll be other drink options. The event takes place from 12-5 pm and is sponsored by Austin-based Blue Norther Hard Seltzer. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online.

    Taste of Oak Cliff, September 17-18
    The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce will present the annual Taste of Oak Cliff, showcasing Oak Cliff restaurants, breweries, shops, and artists.

Tickets are $13-$20.

    ZestFest, Hot Sauce & Music Festival, September 30, October 1-2
    Spicy annual fest at Market Center Hall is one of the biggest showcases of tongue-tingling foods in the U.S. There'll be hot sauces and zesty items for sale, cooking demos by celebrity chefs including Jon Bonnell, fiery food challenges, and live music by rock stars who make their own hot sauce including Barbwires starring chef Dean Fearing and Guns & Roses guitarist Ron Bumblefoot Thal. Free samples guaranteed to set your mouth on fire makes this literally the hottest event of the year. Tickets are $15 to $23 and can be purchased online.

    The Tailgate, presented by CultureMap, October 13
    A new signature event for CultureMap, The Tailgate celebrates the culture of sports and the fans who cheer them on. It will feature chef-driven food and signature cocktails, plus game-day-inspired activities, entertainment, and a spotlight on local sports-related nonprofits. Participating restaurants include past Tastemaker winners like Fearing's, Carte Blanche, Empire Baking, TLC Vegan Kitchen, and many more. It'll all take place at The Empire Room. General admission and VIP tickets ($60-$99) are on sale now.

    DIFFA Burgers and Burgundy, October 14
    DIFFA's 13th annual meaty fundraiser will bring in celebrity chefs from all over DFW — and the country — for sizzling, one-of-a-kind sliders and perfectly paired wines. This year's event will take place at Peace Plaza at Cathedral of Hope, Dallas. One highlight of the night promises to be the announcement of the theme for the House of DIFFA fashion show and luxury silent auction, happening next May. Tickets are $100.

    Dallas Brew Festival, October 15
    Dallas' Old City Park will be the place for craft beer lovers all afternoon on this crisp fall Saturday.

    Which BBQ joints from Dallas might make Texas Monthly's new top 10

    The world of Texas barbecue is shivering with anticipation. On Tuesday, May 27, Texas Monthly will publish its latest ranking of the state’s 50 best barbecue joints.

    Released every four years, the list is considered by many to be the definitive guide to Texas barbecue. Part of that authority comes from the effort Texas Monthly puts into traveling across the state in search of the best smoked meats, sides, and desserts. For the 2021 edition, the magazine enlisted 35 writers to visit more than 400 restaurants. While the numbers on the 2025 edition won’t be revealed until next week, readers can expect a similar, or perhaps even more exhaustive, effort this time around.

    In that spirit, let’s make some predictions about what the 2025 list may look like. While I don’t have any specific insight into the thinking of Texas Monthly barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn, I am a voracious reader of his work and a native Texan who enjoys a good barbecue road trip. The predictions below are based on my analysis of Texas Monthly’s previous lists and visits to most of the places I think will be in the top 10.

    Let’s be clear. The state of Texas barbecue has never been more competitive, because barbecue restaurants have never worked harder to impress diners. In 2017, a restaurant that served prime meats, cooked with wood, and made respectable sides had a high probability of making the top 50. In 2021, a lot of those places fell off in favor of establishments that both cooked a wider range of proteins than the traditional beef brisket, pork ribs, and sausage and put more personality into their sides, and, for the first time, desserts.

    In 2025, those restaurants are being challenged by places that go a little further. Many are open for lunch and dinner — something that was essentially unthinkable in 2017. More and more are incorporating flavors from a diverse array of culinary traditions, including Mexican, Vietnamese, Persian, and more. The best places are making their own breads, whether it’s dinner rolls, pita, or tortillas. Whatever Texas Monthly decides, vigorous debate will surely follow.

    Examining the changes from 2017 to 2021 provides a basis for predicting 2025.

    No sacred cows
    Barbecue joints do not earn a place on the list based on reputation or historical significance. In 2021, the magazine included a whopping 29 new entries, including five of the coveted top 10. Icons like Cooper’s in Llano and Kreuz Market in Lockhart gave way to newcomers like Austin’s Interstellar, which ranked No. 2 — pushing the legendary Franklin Barbecue to No. 7. Even a spot in the previous edition’s top 10 doesn’t guarantee a place in the new top 50.

    Youth will be served
    The magazine’s 2023 list of the The 25 Best New and Improved BBQ Joints in Texas provides some insight into who will make the top 50. Expect at least one member of the new top 10 to have opened since the publication of the 2023 list.

    Michelin who?
    Barbecue restaurants earned 28 of the 117 entries in the first Texas edition of the Michelin Guide, including four restaurants that received stars (out of 15 total). That probably won’t matter much to Texas Monthly, which uses its own criteria to evaluate barbecue joints. In other words, Spring’s CorkScrew BBQ may have a Michelin star, but it probably isn’t returning to the TxMo top 10.

    Expect surprises
    The magazine likes to lead opinions rather than follow conventional wisdom. That tradition goes back to at least 2008, when Snow’s in Lexington became the surprise No. 1. In 2021, both Goldee’s and Interstellar were surprise picks to rank No. 1 and No. 2, but they’ve both flourished in the spotlight created by Texas Monthly’s acclaim. Somewhere in Texas, a barbecue joint no one predicts is about to have its fortunes forever changed with a spot in the top 10.

    Predicting the top 10

    Similar to my predictions for the Michelin Guide, I decided to look at the Texas Monthly list from a sports betting perspective. Certain restaurants are more likely to rank highly than others, after all. In the spirit, I’ve divided the restaurants into three categories: Locks, Probably, and Fingers Crossed. Each category is presented in alphabetical order.

    Before diving in, a special shoutout to Bryan Norton and Andrew Martinez of the Tales From the Pits podcast. Outside of Texas Monthly barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn, no one I know visits as many barbecue joints or thinks as deeply about their quality. Listen to their recent episodes detailing their top 15 Texas barbecue joints and Texas Monthly top 50 predictions for more insight.

    Locks

    Burnt Bean Co.: The Seguin restaurant was less than a year old when it ranked No. 4 on the 2021 list. Since then, co-owners Ernest Servantes and David Kirkland have rolled out their essential Sunday breakfast service, where Servantes puts a barbecue spin on iconic dishes such as huevos rancheros and lamb barbacoa. It’s my current pick for the best in Texas.

    Goldee’s: The reigning No. 1 has only gotten better since 2021 as co-owners Jalen Heard, Lane Milne, and Jonny White have integrated the lessons they learned working at some of the state’s top joints with their own personalities. Located near Fort Worth, they do it all, from housemade bread to creative sides to adding international flavors like the Thai-style waterfall pulled pork I sampled on a recent visit.

    LeRoy and Lewis: Ranked No. 5 in 2021, the Austin restaurant moved from a food truck to a polished brick-and-mortar in 2024. Now open for lunch and dinner six days a week, the restaurant’s refined offerings include beef cheeks, whole hog, cauliflower burnt ends, and a top-flight burger. Its Friday night steak special, available by reservation only, is the stuff carnivore dreams are made of.

    Probably

    Barbs B Q: The restaurant brings new school cred to Lockhart. Not only did pitmaster Chuck Charnichart hone her skills at Goldee’s, she brings personality to the menu with touches like fresh lime zest on the pork ribs and the signature green spaghetti, a chile-spiced ode to her hometown of Brownsville. This is the restaurant from the 2023 new and improved list that seems most likely to crack the top 10.

    Cattleack: Ranked in the top 10 in both 2017 (No. 3) and 2021 (No. 6), it’s hard to imagine that the best barbecue in Dallas falls out of the top 10. The restaurant is open more days per week than ever before, and its menu remains as wide-ranging as ever, with seven full-time proteins that are joined by weekly specials.

    Redbird: Barbecue enthusiasts statewide have been making the pilgrimage to the East Texas town of Port Neches (near Beaumont) to try pitmaster Amir Jalali’s creations. Not only did he train at both Feges BBQ in Houston and Goldee’s, he’s embraced the full DIY experience with housemade dinner rolls, a Caesar salad-inspired riff on coleslaw, and a Persian-influenced beef koobideh sausage that’s served with housemade pita bread. Houstonians looking for a barbecue adventure — or a detour on their way to a Louisiana casino — should make the journey.

    Truth: Ranked No. 3 in 2021, the Houston location of Leonard Botello IV’s joint continues to expand its vision of Texas barbecue. The restaurant is now open for dinner, serves a first-rate burger, and recently added new tastes such as the cold smoked, cornmeal-crusted pork chop that’s absolutely can’t-miss. Houstonians might make Texas Monthly bonfires in the parking lot if it’s left off the list.

    Fingers Crossed

    Bar-A-BBQ: Located outside Houston in Montgomery, pitmaster Cooper Abercrombie earned a spot on the new and improved list for well-executed sausages, creative sides, and Saturday morning breakfast service that includes breakfast tacos and kolaches. This one feels a little like Tejas, where the magazine bets that an up-and-comer is ready to make the leap to barbecue royalty.

    Dayne’s: Since making the top 50 in 2021, the Fort Worth-area favorite has stepped up its game by moving from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar in the suburb of Aledo. Known for its creative sausages and award-winning burger, the restaurant may have done enough to force its way into the top 10.

    Interstellar: Ranked No. 2 and sporting a Michelin star, John Bates brings a fine dining pedigree and a chef’s knack for innovation to his Austin-area restaurant. Signatures like peach-tea brined pork belly and pulled lamb shoulder remain as vital as ever. Falling out of the top 10 would be pretty unlikely, but someone’s got to make room for the newcomers.

    Sabar: Like Barbs and Redbird, this Fort Worth-area food truck is led by a Goldee’s alum in Zain Shafi. The Pakistani-influenced menu broadens the range of Texas barbecue with dishes such as nihari burnt ends, tandoori turkey, and seekh kebab sausage. Goldee’s co-owner Lane Milne strongly encouraged me to add Sabar to my Fort Worth itinerary — maybe he was trying to give me a hint that its line was about to get a lot longer.

    Snow’s and Franklin: Arguably the two most famous Texas barbecue joints in the world, they topped the 2017 list and ranked No. 9 and No. 7, respectively, in 2021. No one’s saying they’ve gotten worse — just look at the massive number of people who still line up at both restaurants — but the newer joints are serving so much more expansive menus (at just as high a level of quality) that it’s hard to see both staying in the top 10.
