			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Chef DAT</strong>,</p>
<p>Who are you? I’ve been getting press releases from you for a long time but for the life of me I can’t remember meeting you. I do understand that you live underground and you cook a lot there as well, but do you ever actually come out during the day?</p>
<p>You talk funny. I mean, you write funny. You “sound” like you are totally hip and in with all of the IN people which explains a lot about <em>our</em> relationship. It’s so cool that you are throwing a <strong>birthday party for yourself</strong> on October 23! You must have lots of friends! Three LIVE bands, CAJUN food, and <strong>BYOB</strong>! Totally bitchin’. And Thursday, you only have <strong>20 seats left</strong> for your <strong>super secret</strong> dinner in Deep Ellum. Have you done the math? Do you think you can get that many people under the ground in Deep Ellum? It must be so freakin’ dark, dude. Six courses for $66? That dinner is like so effin’ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast" target="_blank">New Testament</a>! And payable in “unmarked, untraceable cash only”? Brilliant.</p>
<p>Keep it up and maybe you’ll get your own restaurant one day. Oh, wait. My spirit is shaking. I&#8217;m getting an incoming subliminal message from, wait&#8230;oh&#8230;I can&#8217;t quite make out the voice, I can only hear pigs squealing. Oh, now  it&#8217;s clear. It&#8217;s  <strong>Steven Doyle</strong> LIVE from the State Fair. He says you have a “<a href="http://www.thefeast.com/dallas/restaurants/FEAST-EAT-DFW-Details-on-Twenty-Seven-Chef-David-Anthony-Temples-Forthcoming-Restaurant-128291588.html" target="_blank">concept portfolio</a>”  for a future restaurant called <strong>Twenty-Seven</strong>. Far out, it sounds so Satanic! Will you take American Express? Awesome. <a href="http://www.chefdat.com/#home" target="_blank">Keep us posted</a>.</p>
<p>Good luck,</p>
<p>Nancy Nichols</p>
