The Mansion Gets A New Sous

I haven’t seen a picture of him, but his name tells me he’s totally cute: Jason Maddy. Anywhoo, he’s Mansion execuchef John Tesar’s new sous chef. (Say that three times.) Maddy, who I hear loves to play the drums and watch the Stars, most recently served as sous chef at the Driskill Hotel in Austin where he worked with David Bull. Hmm. Bull is the brains behind Bolla, the fine dining restaurant in the heart of the newly refurbished Stoneleigh Hotel. I still have not eaten at the Mansion since they completed a multimillion dollar renovation which included face lifts to the Mansion Bar, Mansion Restaurant, Chef’s Room, and Chef’s Table. Bad dining critic, I am. But from talking with Bill “Freckle Face” Addison, I understand it’s a real bobby dazzler. Look out Dallas, we just may become a top dining destination after all.
