Dakota’s is Back on Top
Check out our new video and find out why Dakota’s in downtown Dallas is underground. You have to ride an elevator down to get there. It’s always reminded me of a speakeasy–and you’ll know why after you watch the video. I had lunch recently with Executive Chef Pete Harrison (Bailey’s Prime Plus, The Capital Grille), who ordered some of his favorite menu items for us and talked about the restaurant’s renewed commitment to great food. It’s always been popular with the business crowd, but in a crowded restaurant market it’s easy to overlook this casual, yet upscale steak house. It’s definitely worth heading to Dakota’s for lunch, dinner, or the new bar menu if you haven’t been there for awhile. Join us for lunch and see for yourself.

Red Fork at the Fork in the Road
Hip, happening Red Fork has lost its opening chefs. Jeff Harris, formerly of Craft, and Matt Balke, from York Street, bailed out last week over disagreements with ownership. Is the hot and hailed “Gastro-Pub” now just “Pub Grub”? Jim White took a look recently. Let us know what you think if you go to Red Fork.

New Video Series
Since I lead such an eclectic life, entrepreneur, foodie, media guy, mild mannered reporter, and loyal God fearing American. It’s time to report on my wining and dining exploits by putting some pictures and sound with them. I believe that’s called video in the technical vernacular. Or, is it television? Hmmm. Could this be the beginning of Savor-TV? Well, more to come on that, but for now, we’ll try and get a steady stream of new video clips out each month as we go about our business of meeting people all over the Metroplex for some of the above named enterprise. And, in that spirit, I will make a concerted effort to cover the new and the old; the funky and the chic; the cool and the tragically hip; in short, pretty much what we did for almost 10 years on “The KRLD Restaurant Show with Jim White”–only this time with, “lights, camera, action!” Gosh, Mr. DeMille, he gushed, I’m ready for my closeup! As I get rolling with this, I’ll even come up with a plan. For now, as the enlightened say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with this first step. This little impromptu ditty came about during a meeting with a Savor Dallas sponsor. All of a sudden the spirit moved me (or my iPhone buzzed in my pocket, whatever) and I was videoing. How long has it been since you’ve been to Angry Dog in Deep Ellum? This mainstay offers good grub for a bar, and a nice escape from a hot afternoon. Or, for a tall, cool one after you’re off duty. Let me know what your experience has been with Angry Dog. I want to get your feedback. Ciao for now.
MacMurray Ranch Tasting at Centennial March 9, 2011

Taste Great Wines from Sonoma’s MacMurray Ranch on Friday and Saturday
Once again, Centennial is showcasing one of the great wines that will be featured at Savor Dallas at a number of select Centennial Fine Wine and Spirits locations this weekend. MacMurray Ranch, nestled in the Middle Reach of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, has been a farmstead since the 1850s, when Col. George Porter built a home here for his family beside a small stream – now called Porter Creek – that flows into the nearby Russian River. Generations of Porters farmed livestock and crops on the rich silt soils of the valley floor until Hollywood legend Fred MacMurray bought the ranch in 1941. Fred embraced the rancher’s lifestyle, raising prize-winning cattle, while his children rode horses through the hills. Wine grapes were first planted here in the mid-1990s. Today, 450 acres of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines flourish where cattle once roamed. The original buildings have been faithfully restored, and the 1,500-acre property is now home to old-growth oaks, redwood trees, birds and indigenous wildlife. And, of course, the MacMurray Ranch collection of world-class wines. Taste the MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris at Centennial Fine Wine and Spirits. The store locations are listed below.
