Hass Tomato and Avocado Salad

Seasons 52 in Plano announced their spring 2012 menu yesterday. At a media event simulcast through all 21 locations in the US Senior Culinary Director Cliff Pleau and Master Sommelier George Milotes, MS, speaking from Florida, introduced the new dishes and accompanying wines. Full details here, but I will let some of the dishes speak for themselves through their pictures (all courtesy of Seasons 52). The new menu is available right now. As always, no menu item exceeds 475 calories.

Grilled Columbia River Steelhead Trout

Spicy Snow Peas and Shiitake Mushrooms

Mini Indulgences

In addition to marching wine choices, Seasons also has new a Strawberry Kir Royal cocktail and Strawberry Basil Fusion Martini. That salad at the top is really good and I am pleased to report that I managed to steal a copy from the kitchen.

SEASON 52 TOMATO & AVOCADO SALAD

Ingredients:

For Salad

3 medium tomatoes, washed, each cut into 8 wedges

2 ripe avocados, skin removed, pitted, cut into 1” pieces

¼ cup fresh cilantro, washed, chopped

¼ cup red wine vinegar

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 packed pint arugula

Drizzle balsamic glaze

For Bruschetta

1 loaf ciabatta bread, cut into 1” slices

Extra virgin olive oil for brushing

Kosher salt to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

Procedure:

Combine tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.  Gently mix well.

Brush both sides of ciabatta slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Sear in hot frying pan or grill until golden brown.

Gently toss tomato avocado salad with arugula, plate and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Serve with ciabatta.

Also, apropos the holiday, back in the early 1990s I went to hear Studs Terkel speak on the topic of labor and will never forget what an eye-opener it was to finally understand what the holiday was all about. It’s a fine thing to have gotten dressed-down by the cigar-smoking big pappa of the working class. I have to admit, I was a little bit in love with him after that. So every year I offer a toast Studs (and promise to name a child or dog after him someday). Often there’s a signature drink involved. One year we created a drink called “The Working Poor,” but that bummed everybody out. Another year it was a gin concoction called “Not In My Bathtub,” but the gin made everybody mean. So a new drink is in order.

Problem is, I’m flat out of ideas. So, I’m going to steal some from you. What dishes are you making for your Labor Day gathering? And while you’re at it, any suggestions for a Labor Day-themed drink are welcome. Hell, if I get enough good ones I might even mix up a few and let the guests decide.

Each course will be paired with a beer selection from her prized cellar and will include:

jump for the menu…

First course:

Pate de canard and chicharrones de pato (duck pate with crispy duck pork rinds) paired with Transatlantique Kreik, a spontaneously fermented Lambic ale made with Polish cherries

Second course:

Roasted beet salad with an almond gazpacho and white balsamic syrup, served alongside Biere de Mars

Third course:

Breast of Guinea fowl with curried potatoes, arugula puree, and dried mango chutney paired with Super Cru

Fourth course:

Wild California Sturgeon filet with tempura pineapple and a “cherry coke” glaze, served with Dunkel-weiss, a “grand cru dunkel-weiss”

Fifth course:

Pork belly confit with Cannellini beans and a rosemary pesto with roasted grape marmalade served with La Folie

Dessert

Sticky bun bread pudding served with an Abbey Grand Cru.

Tickets for the event are $85, which includes tax and gratuity, and can be purchased by calling 214-628-7900. Tickets are limited, and reservations are required.

The last time we checked in with chef Andre Natera, it was during his World Master Chefs Society induction. Yesterday, I visited him at Pyramid to find out about the Fairmont’s new Lifestyle Cuisine Plus program. According to Fairmont corporate, the goal was to create a fresh and nutritionally balanced array of meals for guests with diet-dependent conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and celiac, as well as those who choose macrobiotic, raw and vegan diets.

“The Fairmont’s Lifestyle Cuisine has five different categories, and the nice thing is that you can find the same categories (but different recipes) across the globe in all the Fairmont hotels,” chef Natera said. “We have three to four items in every category and they all comply with the nutritional guidelines for that category. For example, no matter where you go, a vegan dish is going to have 10 percent protein, 40 percent fat, and 50 percent carbohydrates. As long as it falls within that criteria I have flexibility to create. And because, in many of the options, salt is limited so we have to find other flavoring options like miso.”

In honor of summer The Pyramid Restaurant and Bar is going back to its roots. Last night, executive chef Andre Natera, recent inductee to the World Master Chefs Society, and a locavore who has been with Fairmont since April of 2010, invited us to taste some new items and reimagined classics.

Natera’s style of cooking is rooted in classic French technique, but includes elements of modern local cuisine and bright summer flavors such as mango and ginger. In fact, his fresh summer menu hinges on the bounty of fruits, vegetables, and spices he is growing in the 3,000 square-foot garden on the roof of the Fairmont.

“Every ingredient on the menu, we want to keep it familiar,” said Natera. “I want every dish to be approachable.”

True to the restaurant’s history, Natera insists that dinner at The Pyramid remains appropriate for a special event, but wants to show that it can also be casual and low-key. For example, guests can reserve a private table in the rooftop garden, where they will have a dedicated server and sommelier and can dine with the Dallas skyline as a backdrop. On the other hand, if your night has a more come-as-you-are vibe, you can show up for dinner and a movie (The Pyramid hosts free “dive-in” movies at their roof deck pool every Friday night between Memorial Day and Labor Day).

Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bar. (Photo by Kelsy McCraw)

Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille invited our new (opinionated) intern Kelsy McCraw to sample four new additions to their dessert menu. Read on for her unfiltered opinion…

Chris Perry and his staff at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille have introduced a handful of new dessert items that elevate the concept of the home-style dessert to classic status. Perry worked with Executive Chef Pedro Ortiz to develop the array at the Texas-chain’s Dallas site. Here’s a look at what to expect from each dessert:

jump for the review…

The Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bar unwraps the flavors of the grocery-line staple to reveal a deluxe underbelly. Chocolate-and-peanut-butter torte, thick whipped cream, and crunchy crust harmonize the melodies of a chocoholic’s musical dream. While un-candying the candied peanuts would give the dessert a more grounded taste, the result is guilty-pleasure-worthy.

The Rocky Road Bread Pudding is melt-in-your-mouth rich with caramel sauce and crunchy walnuts. The giant marshmallow on top, however, overpowers with a sticky texture and pure-sugar taste. Without it, the confection balances sugar and salt admirably. With it, not so much.

Grown-up milk & cookies. (Photo by Kelsy McCraw)

While the Deconstructed Lemon Meringue Pie (not pictured) verges on sugar overkill (the lemon tastes false and candy-like), the Grown-Up Milk & Cookies left me blissful and dizzy, and not just from the hefty dose of Maker’s Mark in the accompanying vanilla milkshake. The chocolate-chip cookies have an ideal balance of saltiness/sweetness, and the spiked shake offers a lingering brandy zing.

What to expect: Let me open by saying that the first time D Magazine’s administrative coordinator Loren Means went to Marquee for lunch, she didn’t leave until well after dinner. There’s a lot of evidence to suggest that the cocktails are as much to blame as the food, but all she knows is that she was happily reunited with Wilcox’s duck three ways and Jason Kosmas’ French 75. She describes it as “one happy Sunday.”

These days, in Marquee’s two-level restaurant (and on the cooled, bird’s-eye-view, movie-marquee patio), the duck three ways may appear and disappear from the rotating menu (as if Wilcox does not want to replicate Abacus, yet can’t escape the dish’s popularity), and the French 75 is concocted by request only, but we managed to have a great meal nonetheless. Even though some of the items I mention herein will most likely have cycled off for your visit, the bulk of the menu shows evidence of Wilcox’s skill and optimism.

Quail stuffed with wild boar sausage. (Photo by Desirée Espada.)

On the menu: We started with the quail appetizer stuffed with wild-boar sausage. Even split between two people, the quail was meaty and savory enough to satisfy both of us. The addition of wild boar might imply a gamey aftertaste; this was not the case. Instead the meat was mildly spiced and rich with fats and dense protein. As a contrast, the bright and pungent artisan salad with shaved fennel and tomato vinaigrette cleared the palate for the courses to come.

Gentlemanly waiters and contemporary environs. (Photos by Desirée Espada.)

For our main courses, we chose the seared duck breast (lovely and rare) and the thick,  juicy bone-in pork chop served over morel risotto with an additional side crock of bacon-rich, braised Brussels sprouts that stole the show. In the case of the chop, the inherent superiority of the meat was optimized by a brief cook time. The risotto, while salty, hummed with mellow mushrooms, grounding the dish from the bottom up.

My only point of concern came with the dessert: airy layers of chocolate layered with salted caramel popcorn and garnished with vanilla ice cream and more popcorn. No part of it failed—the chocolate was rich, yet light; the popcorn was crunchy, and the ice cream provided girl-next-door solidity, but together the dish felt like flavor overkill, too much of too many good things.

Brussels sprouts side. Nobody puts this baby in the corner. (Photos by Desirée Espada.)

Respect to Jason Kosmas for his deft and layered cocktail menu. We ordered a trial margarita, tangy with blood orange juice and a spicy kick. Since Kosmas was pouring, we asked him to surprise us on our second drink, with the only stipulations being that he use tequila or rum, give it some heat, and not make it too sweet. What arrived was exactly that—a delicious cocktail tailored to my specs. But, after trying both, I actually preferred the margarita off the menu. The moral: trust the man behind the shaker.

In all, touches of Hollywood regency in the entry, clubby lounge spaces inside and movie marquee rooftop provide a see-and-be-seen vortex. One caveat: the place can feel chaotic if you sit at one of the tables near the upstairs bar. Instead, opt for a second-floor table overlooking the parking lot (trust us, the view is better than it sounds; this is Highland Park after all), or brave the frizzies and head out onto the patio.  Try it out for yourself and see if you can beat Loren’s seven-hour record.

In 2000, Mark Steurtz, then of the Dallas Observer, wrote a feature story on Wamstad titled “Family Man: Dallas restaurateur Dale Wamstad portrays himself as humble entrepreneur and devoted father. The family he abandoned in New Orleans has a bone to pick with that.” Wamstad sued the Observer but lost.

If you think Tesar vs Badovinus was interesting, you should take a few minutes to read Steurtz’s piece which includes a public fight with his ex-wife who pulled out a gun and shot him three times. Below is a clip from Steutz’s story:

The purse on the sofa held the .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol her husband had given her two years earlier to protect herself when she closed the restaurant at night alone. As Rumore exited the restroom, she heard a loud slam. Wamstad had burst through the front door. He demanded that Theresa open the front door and he pushed a briefcase in her face. Lena told him to stop. “Then he screamed, ‘You fucking bitch, what do you think you’re doing closing and putting that sign out there?’” Lena says. “And he hurled the briefcase at me, and I mean with force.”

She pleaded with Wamstad to let her explain what had happened, but he came at her again. She reached into her purse and pulled out the gun.

“He kinda laughed, ‘You fucking bitch. You better use it on me, because if you don’t use it, I’m going to kill you with it,’” Rumore recalls. “He started coming close, like he was going to take it from me. So I fired.”

Rumore fired four shots before the gun jammed. One bullet missed. Another went into Wamstad’s jaw, while a pair of slugs entered his back. He moaned. She screamed and dialed 911.

The police didn’t arrest Rumore…. On July 16, 1986, Lena Rumore was found innocent. The judge ruled that she had acted in self-defense.

Loads of folks around here admire Dale Wamstad’s business sense. The guy is a warrior of the restaurant business. Four Sister’s Café sits in the apex of The Shire, a mixed-use development in Richardson near George Bush Turnpike and Jupiter Road. The developer? Wamstad.

Mike Hiller has pictures and an interesting story about the name and the artwork designated to play center stage. Welcome back, Dale. You got here just in time. Oh, the menu.

“The dinner format—the à la carte things—doesn’t really work in a lunch situation,” said Bevins. “So what I did was streamline everything using the same ingredients, the same technique, the same care. Anything and everything that’s happening at night is happening at lunch. It’s still Craft philosophy down to a T, but it’s quite a bit more affordable at lunch and certainly a lot more streamlined. The quick in-and-out lunch is definitely not a problem whatsoever.”

Items on the two course lunch menu (Empire baguette, a crispy arancino ball, warm olives, and mixed greens with lemon marinated feta come as a first course) ranges in price from $8 (for whole-grain bruschetta with chevre, avocado, and walnut pesto) to $15 (for beef short rib with gnocchi and parsley). The menu morphs daily with market availability so that Bevins can utilize the best of the fields and farms. Follow the jump to see pics of the new menu.
