What’s in Season: TJ’s Jon Alexis on Winter Seafood, Stone Crab and Caviar

Alexis

Ask Jon Alexis what’s moving at TJ’s Seafood Market & Grill right now and he answers fast. Anything classic. Stone crab claws, caviar, a beautiful piece of king salmon. The trendy items are cooling off, and the old-school luxuries are back in demand.

Alexis has run TJ’s since 2009, when he bought the business from his parents, and the market has been selling fish in Dallas since 1989. CraveDFW checked in with him this week on what’s worth eating as we head into winter and the holidays, what’s fading out, and where the market is tight.

Caviar, Truffles and Foie Gras: Avner Samuel Is Cooking at La Stella

Avner Samuel is cooking in Addison now, at La Stella Italian Steakhouse and Music Lounge, and his latest tasting menu reads a lot like the old days on Oak Lawn. There’s live scallop with osetra caviar, scrambled eggs under black truffles, foie gras on Wagyu. The six courses he recently served are headed for the regular menu soon.

If you dined at Aurora, you’ll see it right away. If you didn’t, some background helps.

Weekend Brunch at Avra: Caviar, Cinnamon Rolls and a Little Greek Island in Uptown

Somewhere between the second mimosa and the whole grilled fish, Uptown Dallas starts to feel a long way off. Sunlight fills the glass walls of Avra’s Conservatory, plants hang overhead, and at the next table somebody is working through a tower of oysters at 12:30 on a Sunday without a trace of guilt.

Welcome to weekend brunch at Avra Estiatorio.

Tango Room is One of the Best Steakhouses in Dallas and Most People Don’t Know It Exists

There’s no sign outside. You pull up to Hi Line Drive, the valet points you toward a door, and you walk through velvet drapes into Tango Room. Sixty seats. Mahogany walls, burgundy booths, brass fixtures, and original Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha pieces from Tim Headington’s personal collection. The room feels like somewhere a lot of decisions get made over a lot of good wine.

Headington — The Joule, Forty Five Ten, Commissary, CBD Provisions — built this one with Simon Roberts, who owns Graileys, the members-only wine club where the two met. Roberts runs the wine program himself here, works the floor with sommelier Nick Burns, and the list reflects that personal investment. People come in having already decided what they want to drink and build dinner around it. The room accommodates that without making you feel like you’re doing it wrong.

Skip the Pancakes, Brunch at Beverley’s

You know a brunch spot is working when the valet is full, the front patio is full, and nobody at any of the tables seems in a hurry to leave. That is Beverley’s Bistro & Bar on a Saturday around noon. The food is the reason, but the mood is why people stay. A couple at the bar splitting a plate of caviar latkes and not saying much because they do not need to. A family of six crammed into a corner booth with three kinds of eggs between them. Somebody at the next table ordering a second glass of prosecco before their plates have been cleared. You walk in and you feel like you just showed up at a party that was already going.

Enter the Caviar & McNugget Kit, Sort Of

For a moment, it sounded like a punchline: caviar at McDonald’s. The kind of rumor that feels engineered for disbelief, equal parts luxury fantasy and internet mischief. Yet the story carried just enough truth to blur the line between joke and reality, prompting a wave of curiosity about whether the world’s most recognizable fast-food chain had actually ventured into indulgent territory.

The reality was more restrained—and far more intentional. McDonald’s did not add caviar to its menu, nor was it available in restaurants. Instead, the brand released a tightly limited, online-only promotional giveaway that paired its iconic Chicken McNuggets with a small tin of genuine caviar. The offering was free, fleeting, and never meant to be ordered at the counter. Its purpose was not to change how McDonald’s feeds people, but to create a moment worth talking about.
