Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Dai Due reflects a deep commitment to Texas sourcing, with nearly all ingredients from meats and produce to oils and dairy coming from within the state. Guests enter through a working butcher shop before reaching a rustic dining room in the back, where the focus shifts to a menu built around seasonal availability and whole-animal cookery. The offerings change frequently but maintain a clear identity, with a mix of wild game, responsibly sourced seafood and vegetable dishes prepared with a straightforward, ingredient-driven approach. Plates may range from simply grilled items, such as head-on shrimp, to heartier selections like house-made sausages or skewered meats, alongside composed dishes that highlight the kitchen’s use of preserved and fermented elements. Ending with a seasonal fruit galette with buttermilk ice cream doesn't hurt, either.
"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."
