Toyota and Serious Eats are back with the latest installment of the Serious Eats Culinary Dream Date series, where the two team up to send readers in six different cities on a date of a lifetime. On these dates, couples are picked up in a Toyota Sienna and whisked to a private dining experience at their city’s hottest restaurant.
This episode begins with Sissy’s Southern Kitchen head chef and owner, Lisa Garza. Lisa is driving around Dallas, Texas to prepare for the evening’s date. Sissy’s Southern Kitchen specializes in soul and comfort food, so a major part of the experience at the restaurant is that home-like feeling the atmosphere and food provides. Because Lisa is very hands-on in the preparation process, she requires a lot of hands-free features, like the voice-activation radio and hands-free trunk release. She also requires a lot of space, which the Sienna has plenty of.
Toyota then picks up couple of 23 years, Kelly and John, who are the proud owners of their own Toyota Sienna since 2008. They remark how easy it is to move, remove, and position seats and how that makes all the difference during travel and day to day.
