Best of Restaurant Bias

I'm not a major fan of most "Best of" lists, especially when it comes to restaurants. I remember when we used to get a Friday newspaper when I was growing up. I used to like reading The Guide (a version still exists HERE).

It was fun to plan out my make-believe social life. But one thing seemed weird to me. The local food places my family & I patronized the most were never scored high in the ratings. Then one day I paid attention to locations & maps and understood the elitist & economic biases of the listed ratings.

Fast forward to now, much has not changed. I have since learned about sponsored articles & the paid advertising system. That's why I look at the "Best of" or "Top 10" articles with a critical eye. I'm not saying they aren't useful aids. (How do think I am in the know about some of the hottest Brunch spots? It's not just word-of-mouth recommendations. *wink*) But I know there are other hidden gems out there that need a little shine on their name.

And since I have a platform...

Yep, this is an announcement post for a new series. I will talk about My top 3 favorite restaurants in the DFW area in different cuisines. And I expect y'all to share your favorites in the city you live in. This should be entertaining.
