There has been some crazy in the air the past few weeks. I have been getting notes from all sorts of industry people the last ten days or so stating that Tiffany Derry was leaving Private Social. When I finally sent a note to the restaurant’s publicist it wasn’t more than two hours later I read about the news on the Eats Blog. We wish Tiffany the very best as she works out her new routine.
I think Tiffany is one classy cookie who can cook like no one else, and it will be interesting to see what she does next. I do recall her telling me about her own television program that was possibly in the works.
If the rumor mill is even close to being correct there is more afoot at Private Social that should extremely interesting. Continue reading

Private Social’s Tiffany Derry is definitely the sweetheart of the rodeo; well, of the Dallas dining scene. Not sure if she takes kindly to rodeos. When she sent out a press release discussing her new, fresh menu I took pause. What’s the girl got up her sleeve?
The Social menu has been completely revamped to include several sharable plates in the price range of $4 to $15. Think grilled pizza with Black Mission figs, honey and arugula; elotes with mayo, chili powder, lime and Cotija cheese; chickpea fritters with coriander, mint, cilantro, chiles and yogurt sauce; and lamb meatballs with spicy marinara sauce, goat cheese and crusted bread.
Grilled pizza with Mission figs with arugula? Sign me up. Continue reading
