Summary

You guys… this episode is a full-on Dallas DICTIONARY. I sat down with the queen of recs herself — Courtney Stensland aka @StensInTheCity — and we covered literally everything you need to know about where to eat, drink, date, and accidentally run into your ex in this city.


We’re talking:

🍔 The best burger in Dallas

🍸 Where to happy hour without hating yourself

🌮 Hidden gems for date night (or girls' night)

🥂 Spots that are worth the hype — and ones that aren’t

💅 Aesthetic places to get drunk and take a selfie

❤️‍🔥 How to spot a red flag based on his restaurant choice


Also, yes — Sprouts is now a dating app, I’m still trauma dumping at Smoothie King, and I may or may not have signed up for a salmon sperm facial (again).


FOLLOW COURTNEY:

📍 @StensInTheCity on IG + TikTok for all things Dallas food, events, and influencer tea.


FOLLOW ME:

📍 @AlexisWaters_ on all the things
