We do these retro movie reviews, with the help of time. Easier perhaps? Not really.

Anyway, we have a good one lined up today! Peter Sellers portrays not one but three roles in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964).

Carlos Branger moved to Texas from Venezuela, started cooking for friends, and kept getting the same question: where can I get more of this? In 2002 he opened Zaguán on Oak Lawn and answered it.

Twenty-three years later the hallacas still come wrapped in banana leaves, the cachapas still come off the griddle sweet and hot, and the Colombian coffee is still ground on-site before you sit down. Full story on CraveDFW.

I was just interviewed and the word authentic appeared.

People throw the word "authentic" around constantly when talking about restaurants. I've been guilty of it a wee bit myself. But most of the time, what they actually mean is *accurate* — does the food taste like the place it claims to come from?

That's not authenticity. That's research.

Real authenticity is closer to what the French film Jean de Florette was about. Not a man trying to replicate Provence — a man *being* Provence. True to his history, his people, his particular way of seeing the world. You can feel that in a restaurant too. Not because a chef flew to Oaxaca and watched someone make mole — but because the food tells you who they actually are.

A bowl of beans from someone's grandmother's kitchen. A sauce built from memory, not a culinary school notebook. That kind of truth doesn't require a passport. It just requires knowing yourself.

Dallas has a handful of places that get there. Not many. But when you find one, you know it immediately. It doesn't feel like a restaurant. It feels like a conversation.

Which restaurant in Dallas feels genuinely authentic to you — and why?

Fresh off the jet in Dallas and wondering what to do besides watch the World Cup? (And we can tell you where to watch all that.) We created a guide of the top tourist attractions to get you around with a good idea of what Dallas has to offer.

This guide is also good for locals! Don't be shy, get out there and enjoy the city.

Click the link in comments to get the guide. It's the freest thing you will grab all week.
