Vegan, Paleo or “Don’t give a damn”? You’ll find it here.
Jim White joins Shannon Wynne (L) and Chef Suki Otsuki at Mudhen Meat and Greens.
Restaurateur Shannon Wynne has opened a new place serving food that’s good for you, and it also tastes good. But don’t worry if healthy indredients aren’t a big deal to you. On today’s episode of “Wining and Dining with Jim White”, we’ll introduce you to the serial entrepreneur and his accomplished young chef Suki Otsuki at Mudhen Meat and Greens in the Dallas Farmers Market. Shannon, his partners Keith Schlabs and Larry Richardson, and Chef Suki are helping the venerable Farmers Market become a foodie destination. We’ll get all the background behind the menu, and find out just what a “mudhen” is. And, If you’ve been a fan of Shannon’s through the years (like we have), you’ll get a kick out of hearing how he came to name his most famous concept “8-0” (instead of “The 80’s”). Relive those thrilling daze of yesteryear and find out where both our guests like to dine out on “Episode 8” of the podcast devoted to introducing you to the greatest chefs, winemakers, and restaurateurs in the world. Never miss a program when you subscribe to “Wining and Dining with Jim White” at iTunes. We should point out that no water fowl were harmed in the making of this program (or at Mudhen Meat and Greens).

New Flora Street Cafe coming soon!
Chef Stephan Pyles on “Wining and Dining with Jim White”
The legendary chef and co-founder of the Southwestern Cuisine movement shows no signs of slowing down. Stephan Pyles is still the ultimate culinary impresario as he prepares to open his new Flora Street Cafe in Hall Arts in the beautiful Dallas Arts District. Join our conversation as Stephan describes the intimate decor of his new restaurant, waxes nostalgic (for just a minute) about the heady rock star days of the 80’s when he and the “Gang of Five” blazed a new culinary trail that eventually stretched around the world; and he even shares a little dirt from the Star Canyon parade of see and been seen. And, as if opening a grand, new restaurant weren’t enough to keep Stephan busy, he also talks about about another new project he has up his sleeve.
