GREENVILLE AVENUE NEWS:
From CutureMap Dallas - Further evidence that Greenville Avenue is a hot foodie destination:: A five-star Dallas chef has selected the neighborhood to launch his own concept. The restaurant will be called Clark Food and Wine Co, and it comes from Randall Warder, who was chef de cuisine at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek during the Dean Fearing days. Warder has also done consulting and corporate work; most recently, he was chief concept officer at Romano's Macaroni Grill.
Chef-owner Randall Warder envisions a place with a contemporary European attitude and a menu that's American at the core. He envisions a place that brings a contemporary European attitude but with a menu that's American at the core.
"If you closed your eyes and pictured yourself in Spain or Italy, but with a menu that has brisket meatballs, chicken liver mousse, smoked catfish dip, flatbreads, cheese boards, vegetable boards, charcuterie plates, artisan sandwiches and cool salads," he says.
The only entrees will be house-smoked meats: brisket, pork, chicken, turkey and maybe a seafood of the day — served by the half-pound or pound.
He chose the name because he liked its implicit strength, and because Clark is his mother's maiden name. His space is at 1920 Greenville Ave., in what used to be the Billiard Bar, next-door to Nora's. It's basically brick and concrete and not much else, so he'll be building the space from the ground up. He hopes to have it open in fall 2014.
By then, he'll have the right location for his next concept, which will be half-fast-casual restaurant, half-retail, including a nose-to-tail butcher shop.
