Hard 8 is convenient and very good, but if you have a long sit or something in DFW, go check them out.

Bottom line, for those going to long term, is that access to a car will really open up options besides Whataburger and Jimmy John's.

Dallas actually has a really solid restaurant scene. It's just that there's a 10 mile death zone around the hotel with absolutely nothing inside it.
I've heard good things about Emporium, but I've actually never tried their pies. Are they worth it?
If anyone is at the hotel during the next week and a half or so, I'll be happy to drive around to get some decent food.

Cattelack for the pastrami (really), pecan lodge for the brisket, Lockhart for the sausage, and hard eight for the experience. Smoke at the Hotel Belmont is the best brunch BBQ (brunch in Dallas is a sport).
If you have a weekend off...take an Uber to the Katy Trail Ice House in Uptown.
Dallas is an awesome city for a young professional, if you can escape the confines of the training hotel.

I got lucky with my room, but some other rooms looked seriously disgusting.

Be glad you guys never had to experience the Flagship Inn Resort, AKA "the black flag" or the Ballpark Inn as training hotels.
If you could look past the mold in the rooms, and the drug deals in the parking lot at the Black Flag, at least you could enjoy the scenery at the pool. The traveling dancers from the old Fantasy Ranch in Arlington stayed there. So it wasn't all bad I guess.
