December 21st, 2010
Shinsei alum and Top Chef favorite Casey Thomson is burning a trail back to D-FW, having been named executive chef at the upcoming Brownstone restaurant in Fort Worth. Located in the glitzy new West 7th development, the eatery has been open since last summer. Here’s more from the news release:
THE FOOD
Inspired by traditional family-style recipes and time-honored techniques, Chef Thompson’s menu captures the essence of the south’s unique culinary flair with dishes comprised of the freshest regional ingredients ranging from familiar and classic to modern interpretations. As Chef Thompson notes, “it’s the food you grew up loving”.
Brownstone’s menu is comprised of small plates for sharing as well as heavier faire and a selection of sides that utilize organic and locally farmed produce and meats whenever possible. The small plates selection features southern-style specialties that include Grandmother’s Biscuit Pan made-to-order from a wood-burning oven served with fruit preserves and venison sausage; Pork and Peppers made with blistered baby bells, ricotta, slab bacon, Texas honey and jalapeno oil; a selection of fire-baked Chicken Pot Pies; and Texas BBQ Smoked Pork “Rib-lets” served with rib candy and house-made sauce.
Diners wanting heartier options will enjoy dishes such as Buffalo Skillet Steak served with rosemary-thyme roasted mushrooms and creamed spinach and Tart Cherry and Wine Braised Pork slow cooked and falling apart over spoonbread.
Patrons can also select from a plethora of sides that include pickled vegetable jars; waffle fries and mayonnaise; and slow cooked heirloom pinto beans and bread.
THE DRINKSBrownstone will offer a wide variety of culinary-inspired specialty cocktails and martinis made with fresh local produce, purees and herbs with ingredients ranging from agave nectar to tarragon and thyme, and local peppers and spices. Playing off Chef Thompson’s southern-inspired cuisine, Brownstone’s drink menu will offer modern versions of classic American cocktails as well as custom creations with a special twist.
Brownstone’s wine list will consist of a broad range of moderately priced eclectic wines with local and global selections offering both new world styles with old world favorites.

December 15th, 2010
Tapas Cafe Hua Hin Opens!
Tapas Cafe is very excited to announce the opening of their new branch in Hua Hin. This restaurant is at the old Monsoon Restaurant on Naresdamri Rd and is a joint venture with the owners of Monsoon. They are about a 5 minute walk from the Hilton Hotel toward the fishing pier, on the right opposite the many seafood restaurants. Parking is available at the fishing pier.
Tapas Cafe Hua Hin is housed in a 100 year old shophouse in the old centre of town. Downstairs is the bar with an old colonial feel to it, at the back a garden, and upstairs a dining room with some tables on a balcony overlooking the street and sea beyond. Raul, their chef from Madrid, is in Hua Hin cooking and training the local kitchen team.
The area that they are in is fast becoming the main quality dining area in Hua Hin with long-established Mama Mia recently moving to a new location a few doors away. The Tapas Cafe management look forward to seeing you there…
Silom Party Room
The branch on Silom have recently finished fitting out a party room above the main restaurant. There is a mixture of seating and standing/dancing space, suitable for networking events and private, or corporate parties, with a sound system which can be used by a DJ, or can pipe music from your iPod, or from the restaurant below. Above is a pleasant roof garden to relax in under the stars – and smoke, if you want! Please contact Vaughan, the manager, for details: 080 080 6811.
