Just another reason McKinney, TX is a GREAT place to live!!!
Downtown McKinney has joined the rankings of Bishops Art District, Knox Henderson and Uptown as one of the BEST Foodie neighborhoods according to the Dallas Morning News. I was a little surprised Sauce, Spoons and Cafe Malaga were not mentioned in the below write up. They certainly make he list of local favorites!
“Other than Rick’s Chophouse, there’s not much in the way of high-end dining. But if you like to cook, it’s hard to beat downtown McKinney for shopping. One of the area’s best farmers markets sets up Saturday mornings at Chestnut Square. Locally raised grass-fed beef and lamb, pasture-raised chicken and pork and more are for sale at Local Yocal (which supplies many of Dallas’ top restaurants). At Patina Green Home and Market, you’ll find gourmet goodies, sandwiches and gotta-have-it tabletop items. Want a great burger and fine Texas microbrew? Head to Square Burger. Amazingly, all that is right on the square. Nearby, Cadillac Pizza Pub makes a fine pie, and Hutchins BBQ just earned a coveted spot on Texas Monthly’s list of 50 best barbecue joints.”
