Flippin’ Out Crepes Delivers on Taste

by Steven Doyle photos by Robert Bostick

We stopped in Addison’s Flippin’ Out crepery today to check out some of the new items that chef Scott Hoffner had been making and were really pleased to see such a vast selection of crepes available.

Hoffner is a graduate of Johnson & Wales and was previously the Chef de’ Cuisine at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. His current duties also include being the personal chef to Dallas Maverick player Tyson Chandler, which he has named a crepe for. The Chandler is roasted chicken smothered with spinach, mushrooms & creamy bacon cheese sauce ($7.20). Pair this with your own wine, Flippin’ Out is BYOB. Continue reading →

A Chat with Kenny Bowers

by Steven Doyle photos by Robert Bostick

We hooked up with Kenny Bowers, owner of Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill in Addison, Kenny’s Burger Joint in Frisco and for the past year Kenny’s Italian Kitchen, also in Addison.

Bowers is an engaging person who is excited about what he does for a living. He lives for food and restaurants, and it is with this passion that has carried him successfully through out his tenure in ownership. Bowers also walks the edge a bit, but that goes along with the personality that can work the outrageous hours that he does and still maintain control over each of his locations.

We enjoyed our conversation with chef Bowers and hope you do as well. This month marks the one-year anniversary for the Italian Kitchen and the six year anniversary for the Wood Fired Grill. Continue reading →

Laphroaig Visits Lonesome Dove

by Steven Doyle

Last night we were invited to an event in Fort Worth at Lonesome Dove located in the historic Stockyards. The celebration was for the Friends of Laphroaig, a group dedicated to a special scotch whisky hailing from Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of the Isle of Islay in Scotland.

The evening started off as most scotch tastings might, a dram of their 10-year old was passed freely in the crowd and a lot of back and forth with devotees of the brand with the master ambassador, Simon Brooking and distiller John Campbell. Both gentlemen were proud of the whiskys and spoke freely about the process of creating a cask. Continue reading →
