64 Best Things in Dallas: Round Two Spotlight

As Round Two draws to a close in our quest to find the best thing in Dallas, there is only one match-up “that is even close,” according to our hard-working web department. Drum roll, please: Firepits at Lee Harvey’s vs. Jimmy’s Food Store. Jimmy’s is slightly ahead at the moment, and while I enjoyed a Jimmy’s Cuban sandwich on occasion before I turned vegetarian, I think all of you know how I want this to turn out. So vote your conscience, unless of course you don’t agree with me.

(And, no: just because I posted something involving voting doesn’t mean the door is open to failed-mayoral-run jokes. There will be time enough for that later. Probably. I mean, I’m not really that great at counting.)

  1. You should see how many people ask me about my tshirt when I wear it.

  2. I voted for Jimmy’s. Mainly because I hate bearded people.

  3. To each their own, sir.

  4. Too hard.

    Nothing against Lee Harvey’s, but Jimmy’s has the best Cuban sandwiches in DFW (call ahead though).

    If needed, can we use “beloved” Chris Jones to break the tie on this one (I kid, I kid)?

  5. Only place in the area that I know of that sells .00 flour is Jimmy’s. That has my vote.

  6. Jimmy’s is a classic Dallas institution owned and run by second or third generation East Dallasites. How rare is that? So Jimmy’s gets my vote.

    Lee Harvey’s is an arriviste. A very cool one but with a name that is still painful and not yet that ironic humor to some of us.

    However, that’s not going to stop me from taking the dog and having a beer next to the fire pits!

  7. women vs. food
    beer vs. oceans
    music vs. bipedal locomotion
    sunsets vs. art

    I mean, y’know?

  8. Too hot for fire pits. They had those things buring 3 weeks ago and it was a NIGHTMARE. If they put out some ice blocks, they would get more votes.
