"Dean Fearing’s tortilla soup is such a noteworthy staple of his Southwestern cooking that you can find it at two restaurants in Dallas. Of course, his eponymous restaurant is one of those. Order a bowl at the Mansion Restaurant at Rosewood Hotel, where Fearing was the first chef. The ingredients come in the bowl, but your waiter will add the steaming consomme, a dark, savory broth that pours over the skinny carrot sticks, thin tortilla strips, and tiny chunks of chicken. Stop for a drink at Rattlesnake Bar outside Fearings before or after, and take in the scene." - Eater Staff
