DISH Restaurant & Lounge

We recently stopped by DISH for a radio interview with executive chef Garreth Dickey. This guy seems to be one of those under-the-radar chefs that are not all that interested in receiving fluff. His demeanor assured me that he's probably never yelled at anyone and probably holds the door for senior citizens daily. Besides being genuinely kind, this chef has talent. When chef Garreth made his way...

Joel Stabile is the new owner of Greenz on McKinney. He said many different things during a mini-media tasting yesterday, but the one that smacked me in the face is his passion for providing customers with excellent service. He might look like a junior high guy, but this brand new owner is not messing around. Most importantly, he's worked in the industry. People having waited tables or bartended...
