I've lived in Dallas all my 40 years and I could'nt agree more with this assessment. I've been to all the above mentioned, and good CUE is very allusive in the Big D. I basically go to different places for specific stuff: 1)Sonny's on Inwood for sliced sammy only 2)Bakers for ribs and smoked chicken breast 3)Angelos's for the brisket, beer, and atmospere.
