SĒR Gets Serious With Chef’s Tasting Menu This Friday

van campby Andrew Chalk

When the Hilton Anatole announced that a steak house would go into the space once occupied by Nana they promised an establishment that would be an iconoclast in a town where steakhouse dining is an obsession. In its first year, Sēr has drawn rave reviews for Executive Chef Anthony Van Camp’s (that’s AVC to the cognoscenti) audacious and creative interpretation of the steak house genre and Russell Burkett’s polished wine and spirits service.    Continue reading

Happy Chefsgiving: Anthony Van Camp

by Steven Doyle

Thanksgiving is upon us once again and all the gobblers are running for cover. To get you in the mood for a little fun and relaxation we asked a few chefs around Dallas a few questions so we get our dinner cooked just right. We will run their answers both today and tomorrow, so check back often to see how your favorite chef weighs in on the holiday.

Anthony Van Camp is the Executive Chef at the new and very sexy steakhouse SER Steak+Spirits which is located atop the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. There the chef wunderkind performs in his very open kitchen gallery sending out amazing steaks and seafood items, along with some very special surprises. Did we mention he has a talented chef-wife?  Nicole Van Camp runs her not-so-secret underground chef business that never ceases to amaze as she brings a large bounty from local ranchers and growers.

If you still have not made holiday dinner plans, you can drop by his restaurant SER as they are not requiring reservations. Plus it’s the best view ion Dallas. Let’s look in on Van Camp’s advice for us this holiday. Continue reading

SER Celebrates Opening With A Paul Hobbs Wine Dinner

by Steven Doyle

Last evening marked SER’s first wine dinner and they played host to Matt Hobbs, brother of winemaker Paul Hobbs. As an invited guest I was able to visit with Matt as he told the Hobbs story. Matt told me of his rich family history and how his brother Paul started growing grapes at a ripe age of 16. It is an interesting story to hear how Paul as a boy became interested in wine.

“One night, before I was born, my dad brought home a mystery beverage and poured it into Dixie cups and passed them around the table. Paul was smitten with what he tasted. The wine they tasted around the family table was a 1962 Chateau Y’Quem sauterne,” started Matt.   Continue reading
