Coming home, staying home
Richard Chamberlain is such a Dallas-Fort Worth mainstay, you may not know that as a young, rising star chef he could have gone just about anywhere he wanted. The popular chef and restaurateur is our guest on this week’s “Wining and Dining with Jim White” on VOKALnow.com. Richard earned his stripes with some big time chef positions in Bel Air and Aspen. Who knows where that auspicious beginning might have taken him? We’re lucky that he and his wife Lisa wanted to come home to Texas. We’ll let Richard fill-in the highlights of his illustrious career, including his choice to skip FFA (Future Farmers of America) in high school to be in FHA (Future Homemakers of America), so he could meet girls. Not sure how many dates he got, but the classes did get him interested in cooking. Chef Chamberlain also gives us a demonstration of a one-pan gourmet meal with his indespensible cast iron skillet in our “KISS Cooking” segment (keep it simple and straightforward). Dotty Griffith returns as our “Guest Gourmet” giving you more, great neighborhood restaurant finds. Join us for the digital TV program, and podcast, that introduces you to the men and women who create the flavors you love. Catch all of our episodes on VOKAL, YouTube, Vimeo, or iTunes. And, remember. If anybody asks you what you’re making for dinner….tell ’em, reservations!

Laid back and larruping
Chef Michael Thomson and Jim White
Michael Thomson still packs ’em in at his Cultural District restaurant years after a lot of restaurants vanish. His upscale comfort food, or “contemporary ranch cuisine”, in a laid back setting, pleases diners for lunch, dinner, or evenings on the patio. Michael has helped many a young chef learn the ropes through the years. That’s why his protégées affectionately refer to him as the “Godfather of Fort Worth chefs”. See Michael in action in our latest CBS video for “DINE! with Jim White”, and be sure to stop by sometime if you haven’t been. Heads up: TCU Horn Frogs spoken here. Show up bedecked in purple and you might even get a better table! Regardless, you’re sure to find good ol’ fashioned Texas hospitality.

Ride in for some larapin’ grub
Stephan Pyles has the touch. And, once again, Dallas-Fort Worth diners are the lucky recipients of a new restaurant concept from him. Well, actually it’s an old concept. This one dates back to his memories of growing up in Big Spring, Texas, and his family’s Phillips 66 truck stop. Stephan says his new Stampede 66 is his version of a truck stop he would have opened as a kid, if he had taste, control and money. The downtown Dallas destination is open for lunch and dinner. Get in soon, podner, and fill ‘er up! Check out the traveling iPhone video from chow wrangler Jim White, ya’ll!
