Dr. Pepper sausages and our fave local salads

Our food team is growing! In this episode, we introduce the newest member of the DMN crew before diving headfirst into the glorious chaos of a Weird Sausage Taste Test — dubbed the "Fizzy Glizzy" — where nothing is off-limits and palatability is not guaranteed. We also have the scoop on a Giant Hot Dog Challenge making waves in the D-FW dining scene (think: meat sweats, bragging rights, and a very big bun). And because we believe in balance, we swing to the other end of the food spectrum to talk salads — the local spots that are doing them right, the ones that break your heart and why a great salad in Dallas is both rarer and more exciting than it should be.Eat Drink D-FW is your guide to the Dallas-Fort Worth food scene at dallasnews.com/food.
