by Whitney Filloon

Wondering where you should eat today, tonight, this weekend? Eater is back to answer that very question with our newest addition of the Heatmap—a guide to what's new, what's hot, and where folks in the know are lining up to dine.

This month's Heatmap additions include Matt McCallister's new ode to seasonal cuisine that's drawing folks to the Design District nightly, Stephan Pyles' new and fabulously Texan spot making its debut Monday in Uptown, and a hotel restaurant that's just sexed up its menu for fall.

IN: FT33, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, Cook Hall, Stampede 66, Central 214
OUT: Acme F&B, Nora, Max's Wine Dive, The People's Last Stand, Ocho Kitchen & Cocktails

Got a suggestion for a restaurant you think deserves to be added to—or removed from—next month's Heatmap? Drop us a line or leave a comment and stay tuned for the next edition of the Heatmap dropping the first Thursday of November.

Matt McCallister leads an all-star crew at his new Design District spot, an ode to modern seasonal cuisine. A refreshingly casual atmosphere and friendly service are the perfect counterpart to deliciously dramatic plates of luscious pork jowls and impeccably seared lamb chops paired with creative flavors like licorice, fennel and peanut.

Stampede 66 By Stephan Pyles

Copy Link
Stephan Pyles' newest hyper-Texan spot is destined to be the hottest table in town with dishes like fancy Frito pie and tacos with housemade tortillas, all served under a ceiling painted to resemble the Texas sky. The opening has been pushed back from today to Monday, November 5, so you'll have to wait just a little longer for that fresh-but-served-to-you-in-a-can chili.
