Chefs For Farmers grows into a dynamic platform for Dallas’ culinary community
For 16 years, Chefs For Farmers Food & Wine has brought Dallas together around great food. But what began as a single farm dinner in 2010 has grown into something much…
Two highly regarded Austin Italian restaurants have a sister concept on the way. Emery, a new concept by chefs Ian Thurwachter and Krystal Craig of Intero and Poeta, is a new steakhouse opening Thursday, November 5.
Emery is the odd one out as it's not an Italian restaurant, but it is replacing one. It's located at 4800 Burnet Rd., Ste A-100, the former site of Gusto Italian Kitchen. The former concept closed when workers of Flavor Hospitality Group said the owner disappeared without paying their owed wages.
The new steakhouse aims to be an accessible neighborhood restaurant, with "understated yet inviting" atmosphere, a press release. The word "emery" — yes, the same in "emery board," a type of nail file — refers to a mineral that can be used as an abrasive. The release says the name is about reflecting "strength, resilience, hard working and an industrious spirit," recalling Craig's childhood with horses. Equestrian themes will also decorate the restaurant.
