1 Dallas restaurant honored on Esquire’s “best” list

In Squire In the magazine’s list of America’s 40 Best New Restaurants for 2021, only one Dallas-Fort Worth location made the list: Chef Tiffany Derry’s Roots Southern Table restaurant at Farmers Branch.

Those are two major accolades in two months, which is certainly good news for Derry, who has spent seven years making the restaurant a reality. She is proud that Roots shows the diversity of Southern cuisine.

Its restaurant is popular for its okra, cornbread, shrimp and grits and fried chicken. She said The morning news from Dallas in June 2021 that Southern cuisine is complex and personal – and that Roots is her ode to some of her family’s favorite dishes.

Derry is a former Excellent chef competitor who was named a Fan Favorite in 2010.
