Celebrating the Texas State Fair: Food, Fun, and Memories!
Avatar Just Dallas Things

Just Dallas Things

Is there anything more Texas than the State Fair? As a Dallas native, I’ve been going ever since I was a little girl🎡 There is something about the smell of corn dogs frying and Big Tex waving “Howdy, Folks!” that makes me feel at home💕 My first stop is always Fletcher’s to get the best corny dog on the planet. I know it’s controversial, but I’m team mustard AND ketchup💛❤️ Next I tried some 2022 food winners ~ if you’re a pickle lover, the pickle pizza is to die for! I loved every bite. If you have a sweet tooth, the fried rocky road + bluebell is 10/10 for me! I usually end with a Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Leg from Hans Mueller (IYKYK). My other all-time favorites include fried oreos, fried PB&J, Funnel Cakes, and a swig of Pepto Bismol🤪 Try some new foods, ride the Ferris Wheel, play games & win big at the Midway, and end your night with the beautiful Illumination Sensation performance🎆🎉

Discover Nori Handroll Bar: A Hidden Gem for Sushi Lovers! 🍣✨
Avatar VICTORIA northtx.gemz

VICTORIA northtx.gemz

NORI HANDROLL BAR 🍙 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: hand rolls! They have classic Japanese appetizers too like Karaage and takoyaki. 🍒 THE VIBE: sultry and intimate. We went during the daytime though so it was a bit more empty but I can tell this is a vibe for a date night! 🍒 PRICE: ~$80 for two people 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! •••• Overall Rating: 10/10 - We got king salmon, torched crab, dakutoro, & negitoro hand rolls. Absolutely phenomenal quality. I’m gonna say something controversial but I thought it was better than Hatsuyuki in Fort Worth but they are in two different cities so take it as you will! - The king salmon had the largest piece of salmon I was obsessed! The negitoro was out of this world. I will say the dakutoro was slightly fishy but I enjoyed the balance of the radish. - I liked this Handroll place had other ingredients inside of the Handroll to complement the fish. - The chefs and employees were extremely nice and attentive. I highly recommend coming here!

Discover Delicious Taiwanese Desserts at Mei Wei Taiwan Cuisine!
Avatar VICTORIA northtx.gemz

VICTORIA northtx.gemz

3 DESSERT 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: make sure you Google “Mei Wei Taiwan Cuisine” when you look for this place because it’s a franchise inside of this business. It’s behind 99 Ranch and next door to Volcano Hot Pot. They’re know for their traditional Taiwanese desserts! 🍒 THE VIBE: the friendliest service ever!! Everyone is so incredibly nice and helpful. 🍒 PRICE: ~$10 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• Overall Rating: 9/10 - Don’t let the looks scare you if you’re not familiar with Asian desserts- it’s just basically a big bowl of different kinds of boba to dumb it down. - I would compare this to how açaí bowls are smoothies in a bowl- this is literally like how this Taiwanese dessert is to a boba milk tea. - It’s a traditional Taiwanese dessert that has shaved ice with grass/herbal jelly as the base and grass/herbal jelly on top along with your desired toppings. It’s such a good dessert! - If you know Meet Fresh, this place is very similar but different in its own way. I will say the ice at Meet Fresh is fluffier and more snowlike but this is more like traditional American shaved ice texture. - They gave us a free bowl of the coconut milk with more tapioca toppings which was so sweet. The server told us that it makes the grass jelly ice more milkier and sweeter and he was right! - Customer service is out of this world- will be coming back!

Discover the Deliciousness of the Chicken Burger at Ookuma Japanese Burger!
Avatar Dallas Magazine

Dallas Magazine

Chicken burger, Ookuma Japanese Burger Crispy breaded chicken, a fistful of pickles, and a blanket of tartar sauce are all this burger needs. As I wrote previously, you can’t eat the burger without a mountain of napkins, thanks to the housemade tartar sauce loaded with chopped egg. Miraculously, the fried chicken stays crisp underneath. It’s a creamy summer delight, which is good, since seating here is in the great (shaded) outdoors.

A Hidden Gem for Korean BBQ Lovers in Dallas 🍖✨
Avatar STEPHANIE

STEPHANIE

I definitely get why people really like this spot! 🔥 JOA GRILL is a top notch Korean BBQ spot in Dallas that really surprised me when I went! The food, drinks, and vibes were excellent and it was perfect for a nice date night! ✨ This is an elevated Korean BBQ concept, so your server cooks you meats for you (if you’d like) and they have a nice menu of specialty items to go with your main course! 🙌🏾 If you like Korean BBQ, then I recommend trying the TASTE OF JOA. It’s made for 2 people and comes with plenty of meats to share! 🥩 If you want something other than Korean BBQ, I highly recommend the OCTOPUS & the MUSSELS! They were both amazing! 🔥 This is a great spot for date night or a fun group dinner! It’s really a gorgeous spot! 🙌🏾

Discover Local Networking Events in Irving Near Dallas

Irving, a vibrant city nestled near Dallas, is a hub of dynamic networking opportunities. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, knowing the local secrets can significantly enhance your networking experience. At Kikihub, we provide local anonymous chat resources to help you gain genuine local insights, real opinions, and the best-kept secrets of networking in Irving. Dive in to discover what's trending in community gatherings and socializing.

Explore the Hidden Networking Gems

One of the lesser-known but highly effective networking events in Irving is held at the Toyota Music Factory. This venue not only boasts an array of nightlife activities but also hosts various professional gatherings. Local businesses often sponsor after-hours events where professionals can mingle amidst a musical backdrop, making it an ideal spot for burgeoning connections.

Another prime location for networking is the Irving Convention Center. While it is widely recognized for large conventions and expos, it also boasts more intimate, targeted community gatherings. Monthly meetups for industries such as tech, healthcare, and finance offer a chance to engage directly with professionals in your field.

Trending Community Gatherings

Lately, there's been a surge in popularity of pop-up networking events. These spontaneous gatherings are typically organized through local enthusiast groups and announced just days in advance. One such group, Irving Connect, has a reputation for organizing high-energy meetups at local cafes and parks. You can expect meaningful conversations, potential collaborations, and even some surprising local insights.

For those looking to expand their social circle beyond professional confines, the Heritage District in Irving offers an array of culturally rich events. From art galleries to food festivals, these events are prime for networking in a more relaxed environment. Imagine bonding over shared local cuisines or art preferences—it’s a fantastic way to forge deeper, more personal connections.

Secret Hotspots for Socializing

If you’re a fan of blending socializing with networking, the NYLO Las Colinas Hotel is a popular active-secret hotspot. The rooftop bar, known for its breathtaking views, has become a sanctuary for after-hours networking among Irving’s professionals. The relaxed atmosphere and elegant setting offer a unique opportunity to build relationships naturally over a cocktail or two.

Don't overlook the quirky charm of places like Big State Fountain Grill. This historic diner offers a nostalgic ambiance where many locals unwind. Informal meetups here often lead to engaging conversations with a diverse crowd, ranging from tech startup founders to creative freelancers.

Local Insights for Effective Networking

Attending events is one thing, but making the most out of them is another. Local insights suggest that being prepared with personalized business cards can go a long way in making a memorable impression. It’s also advisable to have a compelling but concise elevator pitch about your profession and what you’re looking to gain or offer.

Lastly, Irving locals often emphasize the importance of following up post-event. A personalized thank you email or a quick coffee catch-up can turn a casual acquaintance into a valuable professional connection. Using the Kikihub platform for local anonymous chat offers an excellent way to glean more such regional nuances that could give you a networking edge.

Upcoming Major Networking Events

Keep an eye on the local event calendars for major upcoming networking events like the Irving Job Fair held semi-annually at the Irving Mall. This event caters to both job seekers and recruiters, offering a treasure trove of networking opportunities. Companies from across sectors participate, so aligning your attendance with your career goals can provide a massive boost.

Another anticipated gathering is the Tech Networking Night at the Ranch at Las Colinas. This event is particularly popular among tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs who are keen to explore collaboration opportunities, discuss the latest industry trends, and share local secrets about potential business deals and ventures in Irving and beyond.

Utilizing Local Anonymous Chat for Networking Insights
