Smash Burger

For now, the best kind a fast food mixed with gourmet burger want a be, simple menu, great taste, great prices.

2 sizes 1/3 and 1/2 pounds makes me think in Fuddruckers.

I try already the one with mushrooms and swiss, very simple, very tasty. But if you want more flavor, the Jalapeño one is a great option, with guacamole, tomato and lettuce. Sweet potatoes are great because they mixed with salt and rosemary how can not be great?

Of course you have french fries as an option. Something interesting, you can ad a fried egg to your choice of burger.

Finally the service, very friendly and super fast. A large staff y making sure you don't need anything else.

The address: McKinney Ave. & N. Pearl St. right in front of the Crescent.

Malai Kitchen: add some spice to your life

An other new restaurant in Dallas, why not? An other one in the West Village? Why not.

The concept for Malai is a Thai and Vietnamese cuisine mix, it is a small menu but it takes care of every taste, from traditional plates like coconut soup to Pad Thai, curries, fish, salads. I tasted the Grilled Prawns with cilantro rice and grapefruit salad. Mild flavor, exotic combination, really nice for $16, not bad for a casual diner.

The place is nice, modern interior design, simple lines. They are just missing one thing: the music.

Go to Thailand and Vietnam without passport, go to Malai.
