The Forbes list continues the tradition of recognizing Dallas as a world-class city. Last month, The Dallas Express reported that eight local eateries made the semifinal list for the James Beard Award. The prestigious honor is granted to the best chefs, restaurateurs, authors, and journalists in the U.S. food scene.
In 2023, Travel + Leisure named five world-class hotels in Dallas-Fort Worth as part of its World’s Best Awards based on nearly 165,000 survey participants. Three properties, Rosewood Mansion, The Ritz-Carleton, and The Joule, made both the Travel + Leisure and Forbes lists.
