Check out @sumdanggoodchinese with us! 🥢 Locat Check out @sumdanggoodchinese with us! 🥢 Located in @trinitygroves, Sum Dang Good Chinese is a popular spot for modern Chinese cuisine. The restaurant serves the essentials and we’re all about it. The food nerds ordered: Soup Dumplings: These bite-sized bundles are our fav item from the menu! The presentation was also 💯 Peking Duck Buns: Crispy and flavorful Combo Dumplings: Fun variety of colors on the dumplings. While the texture of the dumplings can be improved upon, these bites were each packed with a different filling... pork, chicken, shrimp and veggie. Hand-Pulled Noodles: Great consistency with the noodles and sauce Salt & Pepper Shrimp: Easy to order and to eat Crab & Cheese Rangoons: We’ll order this again and again. Watermelon Martini: A refreshing summer drink Altos Tiki: Tropical & fun presentation 3011 Gulden Ln, Dallas inside @trinitygroves *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #trinitygroves #dallasrestaurants #chinesefood

Eat a Dish for Make a Wish! 💖 @maggianoslittle Eat a Dish for Make a Wish! 💖 @maggianoslittleitaly is celebrating their 20th year of partnership with @makeawishamerica @makeawishnt! We went by their Plano location to try their special Eat-a-Dish menu, where a portion of proceeds from each dish benefits Make-a-Wish Foundation’s mission to grant life-changing wishes for children battling chronic illnesses across the globe. Here’s what we tried off the special Eat-a-Dish menu: 🥂 Lavender Wish Spritz 🦞 Wish Celebration Entree with Beef Tenderloin Medallions, Lobster Tail, Crab Cake & Asparagus 🍰 Chocolate Cannoli Cake $1 from each dish & the Wish Spritz & 50 cents from the Wish Lemonade goes to Make-a-Wish, from now until August 23. Since the first year of its partnership, Magginao’s has raised over $10 million for this amazing cause! Maggiano’s has always been one of our reliable favorites for a nice meal out (Pro Tip: Did you know if you order any entree, you can get a classic pasta to take home for just $6?? 🤯), & this is the perfect excuse. 📍Willow Bend Mall, Plano or Northpark Center, Dallas *hosted #dallasrestaurant #italianrestaurant #nonprofit #makeawish 📷: @amypyen
@theislandspot is the spot to be! 🏝️ We cele @theislandspot is the spot to be! 🏝️ We celebrated Jamaican Independence Day last Friday here at the restaurant with live Reggae music, delicious cuisine and RUM PUNCH! We felt like we were actually in the Caribbean—surrounded by beach murals, fun music and authentic food. Our meal included a flavorful jerk chicken, jerk salmon with mango honey sauce, salmon rice and a yummy beef patty. 📸 @foodiejacqdfw *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #jamaicanfood #supportlocal #carrolltontx #dallasrestaurants
Let’s feast! 🍴 We’re at @istanbulcuisinefl Let’s feast! 🍴 We’re at @istanbulcuisineflowermound since we were so impressed with its #southlaketx location! From hot & cold appetizers with hummus, eggplant and other tasty dips to tender grilled meats, Istanbul Cuisine is not to miss if you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean & Turkish food. The restaurant serves shareable portions of food including its staple kebab platter that feeds 4-6 hungry meat eaters. The plate is filled with chicken, lamb and beef selections and comes with several sides and housemade pita bread. Save room for baklava and Turkish coffee or tea! 📍 Flower Mound and Southlake *invited #dallasfoodnerd #turkishfood
Korean fried chicken just hits different! 🍗 We Korean fried chicken just hits different! 🍗 We went by @bbqchickenus to try their new Caribbean Spice flavor & this tropical flavor is perfect for summer! It really gave jerk chicken vibes, with just the right amount of kick, & we don't know what sorcery they use to keep the chicken so crispy while absolutely drenching it in this sauce, but we want to know the secret! We've always been a big fan of Korean fried chicken & bb.q Chicken (did you know it stands of "Best of the Best Quality"?) is one of our favorites, with six DFW locations. The chicken is just so tender & crispy, & the flavors are always on point. We also got the Galbi classic, which was smoky & delicious, but we're eying the Hot Mala & Gangnam Style for next time! Next time you crave wings, definitely give this a shot & try the Caribbean Spice! 📍Plano (x3), Richardson, Carrollton, Arlington, Ft Worth TCU PS: The Ft Worth & Richardson locations have private karaoke rooms! 🎙 *ad #koreanfriedchicken #koreanchicken #chickenwings #dallasrestaurants #dallaschicken

New in Irving @sickiesburgers 🍔🍔🍔 Ever f New in Irving @sickiesburgers 🍔🍔🍔 Ever feel like taking the day off and hanging out with friends, grilling burgers and sipping beers? Well, that’s what the founders of @sickiesburgers used to do, and after coming up with 50 burgers and 50 different beers, they decided it was time to share their ideas with the rest of us! Now you can enjoy the amazing creations at Sickies without taking the day off, or taking a “sick” day (aka a ‘Sickie’) right here in DFW! The Irving location is open and ready to serve adult milkshakes like the Silly Rabbit made with Trix(r) cereal and spiked with vodka, and decadent burgers like the Glazed Donut 🍩 Burger that has a glazed donut as the bun! (Tip: ask for the burger patty to be substituted for crispy chicken…it’s delicious 🤤) If you’re hungry (trust us, come hungry) make sure to start with some oversized Tater Kegs, and get started on fair food early with the cheese curds and fried jalapeño Country Fair Burger! 🍔 Last but not least, if you miss a certain fast-food chain’s mashed potato (or Mac ‘n Cheese) bowls, stop by Sickies for a better version to please your palate! The Fort Worth location will be opening soon! 📸: @wilburthechef *invited #dallasfoodnerd #burgers #sickiesburgers #irvingtx #visitirvingtx #visitirving #dallaseats
Sweet or savory? 👇🏼 Take your pick of empan Sweet or savory? 👇🏼 Take your pick of empanadas at @DelCampo_Empanadas!

There’s a good variety to choose from like spinach, shrimp, “Banutella”(banana/Nutella, Dulce de Leche on a croissant, the signature beef empanada… plus many more. 🤤 The housemade chimichurri sauce is not to miss either with your savory selections! Pro tip: Order a Cafe Con Leche with your food! ☕️ 📍 Flower Mound and Keller *invited #dallasfoodnerd #empanadas
No Sunday Scaries here 🦀🦞🥩 We savored ou No Sunday Scaries here 🦀🦞🥩 We savored our Sunday night at @flemingssteakhouse in Plano with their new Surf & Turf 3-course meal. Available every Sunday for dinner service, this packed meal comes with a Filet Mignon, paired with a North Atlantic Lobster Tail OR Alaskan Golden King Crab Legs. Includes salad and dessert! The meal costs $75 per person and is worth every penny. Food Nerd Facts 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 🦀 Alaskan Golden King Crabs is known as the best tasting variety of King Crab. The pressure from the great depth of their habitat combined with a clean, pure food abundance allows for a sweeter taste profile and a lighter texture. 🦞 North Atlantic Lobsters are usually sought after the most and has a succulent flavor thanks to their mineral-rich ecosystem. Now that’s how we end the weekend on a high note! 🥂 *invited #dallasfoodnerd #dallassteakhouse #planotx #visitplano
