Dallas was first explored by John Neely Bryan in 1839.  He wanted to establish a trading post that would serve both Native Americans and settlers.  He surveyed the area then returned to home to Arkansas to put together his business.

Unfortunately, while he was home, there was a treaty signed which removed all of the Native Americans from Northern Texas.  Upon his return, he saw that half of his perspective customers were no longer there so he decided to create a permanent settlement which was created in 1841.

Today Dallas, Texas has a population of over one million three hundred thousand residents.  The median income in 2016 was $63,812 per household and they say you need $57,984 to live “comfortably” in Dallas.

The major industries in Dallas, Texas are information technology, telecommunications, life sciences, defense and financial to name a few.  There is an estimate that Dallas comprises about forty-three percent of the state’s high-tech workers.  This means there is a lot of extra spendable income for people to enjoy great food and when you think of Texas you think of barbecue.

Located in the Deep Ellum part of Dallas, Texas, Pecan Lodge got its humble name from Justin’s grandfathers ranch in Abilene.  With strong memories of cooking with their grandparents, owners Justin and Diane started their first barbecue business at Dallas’s Farmer’s Market in Shed #2.

Both Justin and Diane had corporate jobs that caused them to travel weekly.  They decided to take the plunge and quit their jobs to spend more time as a family and open Pecan Lodge.  It quickly became a favorite of locals and tourists alike and was called one of the Top 4 BBQ joints in the world by Texas Monthly.Dallas Texas Restaurant

They made a decision to use time honored family recipes instead of using current trends.  They stuff their own sausage, make everything from scratch like their Aunt Polly’s banana pudding to their Southern Fried Chicken and keep their barbecue pit burning twenty-four hours a day.

Not surprisingly they have over two thousand eight hundred positive posts on the internet.  This gives them a strong rating of four point five.

Dallas Texas RestaurantsAs with most of the barbecue restaurant owners, Todd David turned a life-long hobby of barbecue into a highly successful restaurant.  He took a gamble and after thirty years sold his disaster restoration company in 2010.  There he founded the Cattleack Barbeque, a North Dallas catering company.
