Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

Texans are known around the world for their inimitable hometown pride, but Chef/owner Jesse Griffiths takes his affection for the Lone Star state to another level at Dai Due, where nearly everything, from produce and meat to olive oil and wine, is sourced from Texas. Brunch is available but it's the evenings when this place shines. Walk past the entrance filled with tempting baked goods and prepared meats to find a rustic back room perfect for hosting the supper club-style service. Skilled butchers tackle everything from wild boar and antelope to goat, and the plates are impressively offbeat. Hits include the cold meat board with antelope salami and wild boar and dill pickle terrine, as well as the smoked pork Porterhouse chop with sauerkraut, Bavarian mustard, and chutney.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"At Dai Due preservation is key; we dry, can, pickle, ferment, smoke, candy and freeze. We are seed oil-free and cook predominately with Texas olive oil, animal fats from hogs, beef, chicken and duck, and butter. We deep-fry in beef tallow. We do not use vegetables and fruit grown far away, meats from factory farms, fish that are not from our waters, or foreign cheeses. Waste is minimal as we utilize vegetable scraps for stock, fermentation projects and other initiatives."
