Monica is back

Monica Greene and Jim White

Iconic restaurateur Monica Greene joins us on this week’s episode of “Wining and Dining with Jim White” on VOKALnow.com.  She was loving her days of semi-retirement in Aspen, when a “funny thing happened on the way up the mountain”.  She had a drink with some old friends and bought the establishment in which they were drinking (don’t try this at home).  Turns out to be a very cool move, because that establishment is The Cedars Social, and Monica and her “trifecta” partners, Chef Anastacia Quiñones, and mixologist Leann Berry,  have just re-opened the fleetingly popular restaurant in Dallas’ Cedars Neighborhood.  They’re serving up “Modern Mexican Cuisine” (don’t bother asking for nachos), and pairing it with a great Tequila/Mezcal and fine wine program.  You’ll hear great stories from Monica about her many restaurant successes–Monica’s Aca y Alla and Ciudad to name but a few–a couple of disappointments along the way, and about her love for Dallas-Fort Worth’s urban neighborhoods (clue:  she’s usually had a restaurant in one of them).  Welcome to the podcast devoted to introducing you to the people who create the eats and drinks you love.  Catch all of our episodes on VOKAL Media and on iTunes.  And, remember…if anybody asks you what you’re making for dinner, tell ’em reservations!
