Ryan Barnett’s Underground Euphorium Goes French

by Steven Doyle

Taking my own recommendation, I joined a band of merry diners at the newest of the underground chef dinners offered at the not-so-secret location in Deep Ellum on the corner of Malcolm X and Elm. There a small group of food enthusiasts gathered with their own bottles of wines served by the staff of chef Ryan Barnett.

You may recall from previous articles here on craveDFW that Barnett is a talented and trained chef that is originally from the Dallas area (Hillcrest High for those keeping score at home) who has worked at some excellent venues in this city including Neighborhood Services as sous chef.                   Continue reading →

We have written about the Van Camps more than a few times. You probably read our little write up on Anthony Van camp this morning. He is the new big shot over at the Hilton Anatole Dallas. You may recall a few articles on his wife Nicole here  and here.

Tesar Goes Underground

by Steven Doyle

 Chef John Tesar is getting back in the saddle as he makes preparations to open his latest restaurant concept, Spoons. You can now get your Tesar fix by attending one of his underground dinners that will be held at an unspecified location in Dallas, April 7, 2012. The dinner can be reserved on Eventbright and 40 seats have been made available.

The underground dinner will feature selections from “land and sea” but no specific menu has been revealed. The cost of the BYOB dinner is $99 per person.

Speaking with Tesar recently the chef made mention that he has another location in mind for his Spoons concept, but is holding back on official announcements until a formal lease has been signed.

by Steven Doyle

Chef DAT is back in the saddle again after his consulting job opening up the mason bar, and he has been selling his underground dinners at record pace. We sent in a secret crew to dine last week and to snap up some photos of the Sunday night dinner DAT hosted and found that his styling is in rare form these days.

We spoke to DAT today on the phone and he mentioned that he has a few more Dallas dinners before taking his show on the road to New Orleans where he will be cooking in the kitchen of a beautiful NOLA manse.    Continue reading →

A Very Special Charity Underground Dinner

I’m pleased to announce that I’m co-hosting a fall-themed Underground Dinner with Chef John Kleifgen on Nov. 5.
