Dang, Dallas. This is consistent with what black people say about it.

“Dallas is a very diverse city,” Frazier says. “It’s a melting pot of different cultures and things like that, but I think sometimes when it comes to black food — or things that are traditionally rooted in black culture — from a public relations perspective, I feel like we have to go above and beyond to get people to come out and support. A lot of my clients don’t even want people to know they’re 100 percent black-owned. And that’s not even just in the restaurant business. That’s in retail as well. I think we haven’t progressed to accepting that. And that hurts.”

I didn’t watch the video. I assumed it was a negative video since your name says Dallasbou and other comments on here made it seem that way.

And it finally is reduced to the people who know the least about both cities speaking from a platform of authority. This thread is now dead. Mods should lock it.

DFW has 6 CMs:

Dallas Lovers Lane
Dallas Midway
Dallas Preston Royal
Fort Worth
Plano
Southlake

Is this a joke? A city claiming superiority for having high-end grocery stores? Ok you win!

Houston and Dallas threads always devolve into each city claiming petty things for points.

Dirty little secret though is that they're kinda fun and the fact that the differences end up being things like the number of Central Markets highlights just how similar they are at the end of the day overall.
