Yesterday, La Brenner broke the news on Eatsblog that Lola and the Tasting Room at Lola will be closing in October. In the comments section, Kirk—the shrewd, insightful, sharp-witted, bicycle-riding dude—posted this:

I have always respected and admired Van [Roberts] and his incredible staff, and the way he is handling this decision raises my regard for him even more. That said, I am sad to see Dallas lose one of its best restaurants, and a sentimental favorite of ours. I hope everyone involved continues to follow his or her muse, which will lead to their continued success. And I also hope The Mansion takes the impending opportunity to hire the most talented chef [David Uygur] in Dallas.
As usual, nice idea, Kirk. David Uygur would be perfect for the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek’s kitchen. Duncan Graham, this would make your mum happy. And Dallas. And we deserve to be happy.
