More Midnight Ramen At Ten Bells Tavern This Saturday

Justin Holt’s last night at Lucia is this Saturday. After that you can find the up-and-coming chef cooking alongside his new boss and execu-chef, Omar Flores at Driftwood. You may recall the Holt name from his delightful pop-up ramen nights at a few Oak Cliff bars. The young chef would spend a week conjuring up killer ramen, which happens to be one of the hot new trends in dining, serving it up in cute Styrofoam cups for a mere five bucks.

Soon after Holt announced he was making his move to the seafood-centric restaurant Driftwood, he made comments about giving up on his ramenriffic dreams. Well, this is simply not true. When we caught wind of the new ramen night, which will be held at Ten Bells Tavern in the Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff, we checked in on Holt. “I’ve got a game plan that should keep me on the road to ramageddon I’m going to stick with it,” said the chef.    Continue reading

Just a few weeks back local chef from Lucia, Justin Holt, hosted two nights of ramen at  a few Oak Cliff night spots. I just received a text from the chef saying he is pumped about another night of ramen at Ten Bells Tavern this Saturday night, March 9, 2013.   Continue reading

Pop-Up Ramen Bar This Weekend At Two Oak Cliff Locations

You may best know chef Justin Holt from his gig at Lucia in the Bishop Arts District. There the chef makes his way around the smallish five star kitchen curing meats and rolling pasta. Holt reached out to us this week to alert us to a new project that is near to his heart, and stomach: Ramen. Look for his pop-up Ramen bar this weekend at a few of his favorite Oak Cliff watering holes.

Ramen has grown in popularity across the country, but there are few places to find an excellent example of the dish in Dallas. Consider Ramen the Japanese soul food. The delicious mixture of broth, meat and hopefully hand-made noodles soothes the soul and wakens the senses. This dish has little to do with the ten cent packet you may have been a slave to in college. The skill-set necessary to make excellent Ramen is vast. Japanese Ramen chefs study for years to perfect the perfect bowl. The result is a lush soup packed with texture and flavor.   Continue reading
