Little restaurant news to woo your weekend. Chef Kelly Hightower of Nova has been hired away by Dallas Restaurant Group as a corporate chef to run new concept “Wild Salsa” that will be located at the Merc. There are a total of five locations set for the Dallas Fort Worth area. Hightower begins in three weeks.
In other news, chef Marc Cassel formerly of Park who most recently created the menu at The Office in Plano has been spotted with his name on the door in a building on Peavy near Good 2 Go Taco, so expect some news from this chef soon.
More details as they filter through.
i think i saw him at Bolsa last night having a cocktail at the bar.

I did not create the menu at The Office, my name was used without my permission. I helped their chef with menu costing and menu verbiage. Thanks

WoW!! Someone is mad at DRG!!!!!!
Mad? That’s all you got from that? Maybe one of these top notch food writers should do an indepth story on DRG is what I was saying. Instead of just rehashing the premanufatured rubish that DRG releases as fact and see what is really going on. They seem to think that what ever perception they create will smooth over the current and constant problems they themseves create. Call any supplier in town and see who WILL do business with them, interview top chefs in and around Dallas see who WILL work with them. Do you homework then write a story………..just the rambling thoughts of a rambling man.
