Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Half of the little dish team has been out traveling the world and will continue to do so over the next few months.

Blue Cheese & Bacon Burger @ Cafe Express
[So I know the 'Best Burger In Town' thing has been done before and probably before that, and there even a few dedicated sites dealing with just the burger. Despite all that, the little dish feels like we need to weigh in on the subject. Being from California, home of the In-N-Out, I grew up [...]
Cheddar Fries @ Snuffers
These are some kick ass fries. Most of the time when I dare to order the cheese fries at an establishment they try and pass off some orange-colored rubber substance as cheese. Snuffers on the other hand knows what cheese is supposed to taste like and they give you plenty of it. These fries are covered in all kinds of delicious delights: jalapenos, chives, bacon and aged cheddar. All in mass amounts and piled high atop a perfect amount of tasty fresh cut fries. So next time you are in the area and off your diet, hit these guys up. Highly recommended.
Price: $3.95 (small, pictured above) or $5.95 (large) | Chives, Bacon and Jalapenos $.95 extra (a must)

Mo’s Bacon Bar From Vosges
enter>
Chocolate + Bacon = ?
It’s definitely the wildest chocolate combinations I’ve ever tried, but I seriously loved it. This innovative pairing came from Vosges Haut Chocolate, a luxe chocolatier who makes this exotic bar called Mo’s Bacon Bar. It’s rich milk chocolate mixed with applewood smoked bacon and alderwood smoked salt. The combination is a little crazy, but the result? Delightful. The sweet chocolate mixes elegantly with the salty, savory bacon. Pleasing to the palate and wonderful in texture (smooth with little crunchy bits!), this is an adventure in taste and very recommended.
Price: $7.50 (yeah, you heard me)
The Wedge Salad @ Cliff Cafe
I’ll come right out with it. I’m a big, big fan of the blue cheese wedge salad. Studies have shown, if on your menu somewhere, you have the words salad, blue cheese, and wedge, in a semi close proximity, there’s a 87% chance I’ll order it. It really just depends on the last time I had a blue cheese wedge salad, and if it wasn’t at breakfast, then there you go. Anyway, at the Cliff Cafe next to the Bellmont in Oak Cliff, I found a version of said salad and it wasn’t the best or perfect BCWS I’ve ever had, but it definitely had some promise. My two major concerns were the over cooked bacon that felt like little rocks in my mouth, and the absence of a blue cheese dressing on the menu — it was served with a balsamic vinaigrette. Now the former sin cannot be forgiven — over-dried crunchy as hell bacon has no place in a fresh salad or anywhere else in the world of eats. The later problem wasn’t too much of an issue, but I definitely could have gone for a nice spicy blue cheese dressing instead. The main fault that ruined an otherwise tempting display of ingredients, was that the salad was not dressed, but rather drowned in the balsamic dressing which overpowered every other aspect of the dish. Seriously, you can’t tell from the picture, but this thing was swimming.
I’m not usually one for ‘dressing on the side’ bit, but at the Cliff Cafe my recommendation is to go that way, or try the ranch instead. It’s also a great salad to share, so step up to it as a starter on your next date to the Cliff Cafe. Then head over to the bar at the Belmont for a nice time getting boozed up on their friendly patio. It’s definitely one the official drinkeries of the Little Dish staff.
