She’s looking for something that seems so simple, yet, come to think of it, out of “style”:

Nancy I’m looking for a DFW restaurant that serves artichokes – not artichoke dip, or artichoke hearts on a salad, not even a stuffed artichoke. I want an honest to god, artichoke (pick the leaves, scrape them across your teeth).   Not since a trip to Utah several years ago, have I found a restaurant that offers one of my favorite foods.  (And cooking them myself never turns out very well.)

  2. Rise. The artichoke is my favorite thing on the menu. Simply sublime vinagrette served with it.

  3. Houston’s/Hillstone/whatever you want to call it has grilled artichokes with remoulade. I’ve also had them at Bolsa but of course you never know when they’ll have them on the menu.

  4. Houston’s has amazing grilled artichokes! But call first. They’re not on the menu and they don’t always have them.

  5. Rise No. 1 – for the traditional way of serving a good steamed artichoke, as you’re describing. The one they have is delicious. I get it frequently.

  6. Hillstone (aka Houston’s) serves awesome grilled artichokes, but they often run out, so call ahead

  7. Don’t know if they still do them, but Stoneleigh P used to have artichokes. I’ll second Rise, fabulous.

  14. After several recommendations here, went to Rise Saturday afternoon specifically for the artichoke. A fine repast for a gloomy afternoon.
