- Chef Holly Muller and Le Cordon Bleu Students
Deep Ellum’s My Private Chef, the personalized cooking service with an evolving menu of globally inspired, home-grown meals by Chef Holly Muller, is opening its kitchen and showroom to three Le Cordon Bleu culinary students this Saturday for a special fundraising dinner supervised by Certified Executive Chef and Art Institute educator Robbie Hooker to further their education and delight joining guests.
“The Taste of Italy” will feature a five-course menu with farm fresh ingredients from the Coppell Farmers Market. My Private Chef has history of holding phenomenal dinners, including the 2013 James Beard Foundation Dinner this February. “Taste of Italy” looks no less promising with its heirloom tomato bruschetta, limoncello sorbet, Braciole Calabresi, and tiramisu trifle, but what makes this dinner all the more wonderful are the students behind it.
Chef Muller recognized Le Cordon Bleu students Connor FitzGerald, Brittany Paul and Ashley Pellegrino’s talent when they volunteered to help recreate a James Beard House dinner by and with acclaimed Chef Lorenzo Polegri. Following the event, the three qualified to serve an externship in Orvieto, Italy and study under Polegri at his restaurant Zeppelin. The dinner is both an opportunity for these students to continue their education, while raising fund for a once in a lifetime experience to study under the award-winning chef.

Weekend strolls on sunny afternoons are wonderful things. Weekend strolls on sunny afternoons that involve getting to see fantastic art are even better, and that’s exactly what you’re going to get this Saturday from 6-10 p.m. if you happen to be strolling through Deep Ellum or Exposition Park. The Deep Ellum Gallery Walk will be back this weekend offering everyone chance to walk through the galleries and studios both in Deep Ellum and Exposition Park. You’ll also be able to partake in some shopping, music, food and drinks, all elements of a good Saturday.
The event is free with most galleries in walking distance of each other, but for those that aren’t, the DART green line will be available to take patrons from the Deep Ellum and Baylor stations to the Fair Park station in Expositoin Park.

Do you like the barbecue goodness of Smoke or the tender magic of Chicken Scratch? Do you like craft beer from Deep Ellum Brewing Company, mussels from Lucia, or brunch from The Grape? Do you go to Central Market solely for the samples? You get around, Dallas food lover you, and you’re going to want in on this dinner.

- Craft beer is awesome
- It’s cheap
- It’s a local business to be proud of
Until Saturday, my only brewery tour experience was the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland. It’s a bit like a museum: very 
organized, very educational, and a little bit of beer.
When we pulled up to Deep Ellum Brewing Company this weekend, my thoughts were echoed exactly by one of our friends: “I don’t really know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this.”

Owner, Stephanie Schumacher took to the LaGrange’s Facebook page this morning to announce that:
It’s a sad day! After a long 3 year journey, we are closing our Deep Ellum doors. We can’t thank everyone enough for your support over the last few years. To our wonderful staff, the amazing musicians who came through the door, and all the fans, we thank you! All shows are being relocated if possible to our favorite venues, so please be on the lookout for updates on the page to find out where to see all your favorite bands. Many thanks to Kim Finch and the Doublewide for hosting our shows last night and this evening.
For anyone who was a fan of the elegantly down home venue, this will be a sad farewell. Maybe this video will inspire someone to buy the great little music venue that was designed to be “not uber cool, but cool enough.”

If, in an attempt to honor National Taco Day, you spent a good portion of your morning pondering which of the many taco places you were going to celebrate, you’ve noticed that Dallas is a place of great taco diversity. Those many taco places will soon have their day in the sun at the North Texas Taco Festival this coming April. It seems far away, but you might need all of that time to mentally prep yourself.
Held at Deep Ellum Outdoor Market and presented by the Taco Trail and Entrée Dallas, the North Texas Taco Festival will host more than 10 taquerias, restaurants, and food trucks serving up some of DFW’s favorite tacos both classic and unique. Venders will include Rock and Roll Tacos, So-Cal Tacos, Cafeteria y Loncheria El Padrino, and The Rusty Taco. For the taco connoisseurs of the world, wander into Zen Bistro & Dessert Bar for a Filipino taco.

Last October, the Deep Ellum Community Association began their search for a logo that would represent their neighborhood by reaching out to members of the community and asking them to submit their suggestions. That search ended yesterday when the DECA revealed their chosen logo at the 3rd Annual Deep Ellum BBQ and Cakewalk.
The logo was designed by the Deep Ellum-based creative advertising agency, Belmont Icehouse, and is part of a family of logos that will help promote the Deep Ellum brand in all cultural facets of the neighborhood. The logos were chosen by a panel of judges with advertising backgrounds as well as members of the community at large.
What do you think of the logos? Do you think they accurately represent the culture and diversity of Deep Ellum? Post your comments below and let your opinion be heard!
