Ben’s go-to recommendation for upscale-but-not-stuffy dining in the Dallas area: The Ranch at Las Colinas, a farm-to-table restaurant in Irving. “My favorite restaurant is the ranch in Las Colinas… it’s a farm to table restaurant. If anyone’s ever in Las Colinas, go. The Elk Tacos are amazing. You’re gonna have a good time. And if you get the pork chop, go hungry.” Came up while comparing it to a $35-a-head family-style spot Gene couldn’t name (see Maggriano’s post) — Ben’s pick was the clear favorite of the two.
