BANGER8/10Scratch Wings

B Wood Cooks is a food creator with roots in both Dallas and Los Angeles, bringing a cross-country perspective to his restaurant coverage. With reviews across Texas and California, B Wood focuses on the kind of food that actually feeds people: fried chicken, BBQ, soul food, burgers, and the spots that exist to satisfy rather than impress critics.
In Texas, he covers restaurants from Richardson and Plano to Irving and Houston — including Honey's Kettle Fried Chicken, one of Southern California's most beloved fried chicken spots, and Hibachi in the Hood in Dallas, a concept that brings the hibachi experience to a broader audience. He's refreshingly candid: a Mid rating means mid, and when something's gassing, he says so clearly.
B Wood Cooks provides a grounded, honest take on eating in two of America's most food-rich regions. His content is for people who want to eat well without pretense — and his Social Foodie profile is the map to doing exactly that across the DFW Metroplex and Southern California.
