Jill,

You need to get out of Addison to eat. I'm serious. The traffic is
hellacious. Oak Lawn is a good destination, as are lower Greenville
Avenue, Knox-Henderson, or McKinney Avenue. Hell, you can even try our
old stomping ground of Oak Cliff.

A few specifics:

Gloria's--Original location on Davis Ave in Oak Cliff (in a converted
gas station) or the yupscale one on Lemmon Ave in Oak Lawn. Salvadoran
(NOT Tex-Mex) food to die for.

La Calle Doce--On 12th St. (of course) in Oak Cliff. Excellent Mexican
seafood. SO used to love the "wake the dead" cocktail.

La Madeleine--It is a chain, but has excellent baked goods, SOUPS, and
salads.

Fogo de Chao--A friend of mine who flies his own plane to Addison for
business often recommended this place. Serious Argentine-style MEAT.
One Addison option.

Uncle Tai's--Another Addison option, inside the Galleria. This was my
all-time favorite Chinese restaurant for a while, but I think the
quality has diminished a bit over the years.
