Chef Paul Ko doesn’t need to raise his voice to be heard. With 17 years behind the sushi counter and a reputation built quietly through precision and patience, Ko has carved out a name that speaks louder than any headline. His new Dallas restaurant, Sushi Kozy, isn’t just a nod to his surname—it’s a full realization of his philosophy: refined, personal, and obsessively detail-driven.

We don’t do a lot of recaps of wine dinners, pop-ups and just specialty one-off dinners as of late, we find them a bit of a tease when the evening has passed and the items served are no longer available. This may or may not be true for chef Troy Gardner’s tasting menu he performed last evening for the benefit of the North Texas Wildlife Center.
The dinner was billed as a “wild dinner”, was vegan and mainly featured seafood. Vegan seafood. Which is interesting because Gardner is known for exquisite flavors he seems to conjure with his unique palate and seemingly Wiccan abilities to create vegan replicas of what otherwise be a plate suitable for omnivores.
