New Mansion Chef Bruno Davaillon Dishes on Dallas

Chef Bruno DavaillonThe Mansion Restaurant2He’s heeerrrreee…new Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant chef Bruno Davaillon is officially in ‘da house. We got to ask him a few questions this afternoon after he finished serving lunch to the Hunts. (All in a day’s work.) He’s French, he’s got a great accent, and most importantly, he’s got Dallas’ first Michelin star. Jump for it.

Lola is Closed: Reports of The Last Supper

Sadly, Lola served its last meal on Saturday night. If you were there, we’d love to hear about your meal. Otherwise, let’s take a moment to “sign their yearbook” as it were. Leave details of your favorite meal or memory of Lola in the comments. This is a great loss for the Dallas dining scene. Van Roberts, you and chef David Uygur and crew created real magic together.

Kevin Demaria, the former associate art director of Gourmet, captured the last days at the magazine with this photo essay. (Gourmet to Go?) It makes me want to kiss my keyboard. I still can’t believe Gourmet is gone. Food writing is in transition and it’s getting scary.

Tei-An at One Arts Plaza in Dallas: The Buttstory

From the ever-curious mind of SideDish reporter, Andrew Chalk:

Recent reports and videos on the making of soba noodles omitted the most curious fixture at Tei-An. No, not the rooftop patio (at least, as yet), the doors to the bathroom stalls. You step into a cubicle that appears to have a glass panel in the door. So much for privacy! However, when you close the door, the glass panel turns opaque–at least, from the inside. I assumed (hoped) the effect was two way, and (thankfully) no crowd gathered outside. This is a talk-inspiring design feature for a restaurant

I first heard of this type of glass being used in the changing rooms at high-end clothing stores. Apparently, it is made with a Piezoelectric crystal formed on the sheet. I wonder what happens when the electricity fails?
