We checked in with chef Nicole to find out what she has planned for the coming weekends at her underground dinners and she did not disappoint.

The 7-course tasting menu will also highlight a cheeseboard from Ali Morgan of Scardello fame, and local grass-fed beef. Continue reading

There are still some seats available for Saturday night’s underground dinner with chef Nicole. She sends word that this Saturday will be particularly special with a guest Ali Morgan from Scardello, who will be showcasing cheeses.
Remember, Nicole is a classically trained chef who has cut her chops at such places as Nana and Bolsa here in Dallas.
We had a chance to catch up with Nicole during a recent dinner she was hosting and the cheese course was particularly breath-taking. Continue reading

We just received an email from our favorite underground chef who was explaining he had a few last minute cancellations for his underground sushi dinner extravaganza that will be hosted “somewhere in Deep Ellum” tonight. Because he loves craveDFW so much he sent this beautiful offer:
I am offering $20 off to anyone that RSVP’s and mentions craveDFW today. Tonight’s menu is a 6-course tasting menu of fish caught yesterday in Hawaii and hitting the plates tonight in Dallas (about 27 hrs out of the water). This list includes: Kajiki, Hamachi, Walu, and Ahi. To RSVP for this $70/person(cash only) + gratuity dinner in Deep Ellum (and receive a $20 discount) email dat@chefdat.com. Also the big bonus is that tonight’s dessert is being prepared by Katherine Clapner of Dude, Sweet Chocolate.
Remember, these dinners are BYOB, so that is an extra bonus for a great date tonight. We have been to a few of these DAT dinners and they are really special. And a Clapner dessert to boot? Go get ‘em!
