Star chef still loves the game
Stephan Pyles guest stars on “Wining and Dining with Jim White” this week on VOKALnow.com. Wizened music critics used to say, “Elvis could have retired in 1957 and still been considered the ‘King'”. But that’s just not how the great ones do it. Take Chef Stephan Pyles, for instance. He could have sailed off into the sunset after the success of Routh Street Cafe (or Star Canyon), and still been considered one of the greatest chefs ever. But he has too much passion and energy to rest on his laurels. He continues to find new horizons; ways to evolve and reinvent himself. And, lucky for us. That’s the reason we have Flora Street Cafe in the Dallas Arts District. The latest “10 year plan” from Stephan, and the most sublime dining experience in Dallas. He’s enjoying some projects as a corporate culinary consultant these days, and of course, leaves plenty of time for favorite things, travel and culinary R&D. Join us as Stephan regales us with stories about his new adventures, and shares a few nostalgic tales from the heady, high flying, high falutin 80’s. Gourmand Troy Dungan (beloved retired WFAA weather caster) continues as our “Guest Gourmet” and offers some really interesting neighborhood restaurant suggestions. Tip: if Troy and his wife Janet like it, chances are really good you will too! Welcome to the show that introduces you to the men and women who create the flavors you love. Catch all of our digital TV episodes on VOKAL, YouTube, and Vimeo. Or, listen to the podcast version on VOKAL and iTunes. And, remember. If anybody asks you what you’re making for dinner. Tell ’em, reservations!

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.
“Wining and Dining with Jim White” is the podcast devoted to introducing you to the top chefs and winemakers in the word. Listen to previous episodes of “Wining and Dining with Jim White” at the iTunes store. We’d appreciate some feedback from you with a rating or a comment.

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!

What Are you Making for Dinner? Reservations!
Here’s a good way to begin March: On Tuesday night Stephan Pyles in the Arts District will host a Neal Vineyards wine dinner. Mark Neal will lead guests through each selection of wine paired with a 4-course menu created by Chef Pyles. $125pp. Call Lisa Moore 214-999-1229 x 102 or email lmoore@stephanpyles.com. If you can’t make the dinner, Stephan will be at Savor Dallas on March 19th. First he hosts a great cooking class and full portion wine and food tasting at his restaurant on Saturday March 19th at 11. Seating is very limited for the dinner. Get details on the Savor Dallas website, and check out Stephan doing one of the dishes from the special luncheon on the website while you’re there.
