FOOD NEWS

Commissioner Rick Perry and the Texas Department of Agriculture are having a party. The date: September 26. The menu: corny dogs, peanuts, and cotton candy prepared by 20 star chefs of Dallas. The place: Food and Fiber Pavilion at Fair Park, because that’s what the party is for. After 55 years of use, the “temporary” building, intended to last only as long as the Texas Centennial Exposition, is being restored. For info., call 741-4072.

A FRAGRANT ENDEAVOR

PEOPLE The heavy cream for gourmetOut of Flower ice creams could come onlyfrom cows grazed in a flower garden,one imagines. These ice creams are herbed,rich, fragrant, blossom-flecked. When chefMichel Bernard Platz and partner JoseSanabria opened their plant in The Breweryin late July, it seemed likely to take a herdof blossom-fed bovines to meet the demand.In fact, it takes the yield of an acre of gardenin Lancaster, carefully tended by Sanabria,blended into ice creams and sorbets madeby Platz. Platz, lately chef of L’Entrecote,had been making frozen desserts for some20 years when two years ago-in the middleof a rosemary-flavored crème Anglaise-hethought, “Why not make rosemary icecream?” In all, there are 13 ice creams and19 dairy-free sorbets in the company’sproduct line ranging from palate-clearingsorbets with chewy bits of rose petal toeggnog-rich ice creams flavored withcinnamon and basil. -Julie Ryan

A Santa Fe Stand-in

ON THE ROAD, you can’t make the New Mex trek from here on a Sunday, hut you can idle away an afternoon pretending, in the classiest counterfeit I’ve run across. Via Real’s recreated the Santa Fe scene in a setting that outlaws stress-all peach and cream and pale pine, in an airy space overlooking, in Front, a deep, shaded veranda for al fresco dining, and on the side, the enchanted spires of Las Colinas.

It’s a Santa Fe illusion you’re after, and you find it in crisp table linens, graceful, wrought-iron chairs with seashell backs, and a ripple of mellow brick wall rising to a balcony behind cascades of plants. Indian art accents a raised lounge, classical guitar music floats from somewhere, and silent minions attend to your wants with food and drink that match the mood. Forget Tex-Mex here-go for starters of con queso swirled with fresh spinach or kebabs of plump sea scallops broiled in bacon, sauced with cilantro on a bed of rice. Proceed to serrano chili fettuccine garnished with fresh grilled shrímp, jalapeno-creamed; or to beef tamales in golden masa, lime-zested and served with two dipping sauces, black beans, and pico de gallo. Finish with flawless flan, nutmeg-nuanced, or real Key lime pie flung with toasted coconut. A sweet trip, and no more than a half-hour from home, via MacArthur Blvd., which cuts a pleasant, surprisingly scenic route between Highway 183 and LBJ. 4020 North MacArthur, 255-0064.

A Grappa Habit

COLLECTIBLES Some men collect fine wine; others, old cars. Efisio Farris, co-owner of the Italian restaurant Pomodoro, collects grappa.

Considered the trendy new drink in upscale restaurant circles, grappa is an acquired taste. Efisio has acquired not only the taste, but also an extensive collection. Grappa itself comes from a distillation of the grape skins, stems, and seeds left over after the wine-making process. The fiery, high-proof spirit is a digestive, meant to be enjoyed after a heavy meal. In direct contrast to the brandy’s impact, the producers present the elixir in hand-blown, glass bottles or in bottles made of pricey crystal. Graceful and elongated, the bottles are highly prized.

Efisio continues to search out new treasures to add to his collection. Each year, during vacation, he and fiancee Lori Seeman, Pomodoro’s other owner, travel throughout Italy and his native Sardinia, seeking rare bottles in hidden streets and tiny ristorantì. Their finds are carefully brought back to Dallas where many are displayed at their restaurant.

CHEAP EATS

DINNER TO GO End of summer may mean back to business and back to school. But back to the kitchen? Not while Dallas has takeout places with the wit to work pickup.

Cades Bowl Beans: Cajun and Southern cooking doesn’t come any better than the New Orleans stew-beans, rice, and sausage, killer peppers on the side-or a soul-satis-fylng main dish. Nothing over $5 and fried cornbread is included. 2332 S. Good-Lati-mer. 421-5850.

City Cafe to Go: Not-cheap New American, the food here’s gorgeous enough to impress your best guest. And the daily-changing display’s diverse enough to build a spread for around $10 a head, if you’re careful. 5757 W. Lover’s Lane. 351-3366. Hao’s: The new Lower Greenville Hao’s serves from the same menu as the original In Snider Plaza. Most entrees run under $9; with starter courses, add one to five dollars more. 3709 Greenville. 6912 Snider Plaza. 361-2020.

Pasta Plus: At $26 lasagna, vegetable and orzo salads, and desserts for two, we thought the “Plus” referred to the prices- but it applied to the flavor, too. Imagine our surprise when this turned out to be one of the most delicious tried. 225 Preston Royal East. 373-3999.

Highland Park Cafeteria: HPC packs it all up for you to take home, whether you’re pinching pennies on chicken and dumplings ($2.75) or splurging with prime rib ($6.99). 4611 Cole. 526-3801.

NEW RESTAURAN

An East Dallas Oasis



BANGKOK CITY Teenage Nina amuses guests by teasing her daddy for a new car, but Vee, the father, would rather talk about what’s for dinner. While his sons Nino and Tony tend to their clean-up chores uncomplainingly, Mom is rarely seen or heard-she’s almost always in the kitchen. Characters from an old sitcom? Nope-this is an all-in-the-family drama, featuring the five Phanithasacks as cast and crew in a series that asks the question: Can this family find success and happiness running its own Thai restaurant in Old East Dallas?

I vote yes. Bangkok City occupies the front corner of the restored Brannon Building on Bryan at Peak. Several other eateries have failed to fill the pretty space. This new venture, though, has something its predecessors seemed to lack-a whole-family warmth that, as much as the lace curtains, comfortable rattan furniture, and immaculate housekeeping, gives the place a homey feeling.

The food has it, too. The seldom-seen mom is named Nang, and she cooks with a fine, native authority, adding specialties of the day to the menu’s broad selection as inspiration strikes her, and thoughtfully tempering spicy dishes to the degree of heat requested- from Coward to Careful to Adventurous to hell-hot Native Thai.

Since all dishes on our visits were shared, some compromises were necessary. One dinner companion sulked at my preference for flavor over fire, but had to admit an appetizer of lime-soured glass noodles with onions, mushrooms, and peppers was subtle poetry. Conversely, 1 thoroughly enjoyed her adventurously spicy Thai sausage, firm brown bites cooked with cucumber and onions and served on green -salad. Tiger’s Tear, a starter of very rare beef slices, took most of its heat from the incendiary dipping sauce that accompanied it.

Entrées ran the gamut, too. Kiss Me, a garlicked and peppered saute of chicken and beef piled on shredded cabbage, was hearty and homey. Volcano jumbo shrimp lived up to their name, the huge curled tails topped with Thai chili sauce. Ginger fish was a major production, a deep-fried whole snapper brought sizzling to the table and anointed with a saucy mélange of chopped vegetables.

Desserts, which vary, included one visit’sspecial that outshone even the splendidiced Thai coffee: a sticky rice dish toppedwith petals of palm-sugar-sweetenedcustard was lovely comfort food in anylanguage. If you visit, BYOB- spiritsaren’t sold here, but yours will be pouredas accommodatingly as the rest of theservice in this obliging oasis. 4301 Bryanat Peak. 824-6200. Lunch Mon.-Sat.11-2:30; dinner Mon.-Thur. 5-10, Fri.-Sun.5-10:30. All credit cards. Inexpensive tomoderate. -Betty Cook

Sfuzzi Redux



SFUZZI ADDISON It seems like only yesterday that Sfuzzi was a trendy new spot on McKinney Avenue that checked your debutant credentials before you could get in the door. In the last couple of years though, Sfuzzi has cloned and recloned itself to become a chain with multiple national outposts. And now the inevitable has occurred-we have a second Sfuzzi within the borders of the Metroplex itself.

How has the ineffable hauteur stood up in the face of all this unseemly multiplication? Sfuzzi Addison looks authentic enough-a space used for a previous restaurant of far lesser pretensions has been transformed into the proper imitation of a Roman ruin by touches of faux fresco. The clientele passes muster, loo. We hardly saw anyone who wasn’t between the ages of 20 and 39. and Me didn’t know there were this many Beautiful People so fur north of the city center. But corporate Sfuzzi does depart in one essential regard from the original concept. This latter-day avatar actually seems to want to make its patrons feel comfortable rather than on the spot. The servers are helpful and highly efficient, though they do try hard to sell more and more of the product. On the whole, we say hooray for corporate expansion.

A special pizza topped with roasted lamb made a fabulous starter, with grilled asparagus a refreshing alternative. Only chilled shrimp served with romesco sauce seemed a bit bland among the appetizers. All the entrees we sampled were extraordinary. Something as familiar-sounding as veal scaloppine in a Marsala sauce seemed a brand new idea, since the veal was absolutely prime, cut half an inch thick, perfectly tender and juicy in a tumble of wild mushrooms. Fish doesn’t get any better than the grilled salmon with orange basil sauce, and the pan-roasted chicken breast with goat cheese, prosciutto, artichoke, and lemon demonstrated that new treatment can give fresh life to an overly familiar fowl. Even meat-and-potatoes folk will come away satisfied when they order the grilled tenderloin with black pepper Chianti sauce, sided with an assertive dollop of garlic mashed potatoes.

Naturally, any restaurant with its ultimateroots so near Highland Park serves crèmebrulée for dessert. But the Italian-inspiredfinishes are more exciting. The Italiancheesecake is very different from the NewYork variety, cassata is a delicious version ofthe gussied-up Italian sweet that is morefilling and buttercream icing than cake,and-best of all-tiramisu, that pudding-like concoction of coffee and mascarponecheese, finds its ultimate form here. 15101Addison Road at Belt Line, Addison.960-2606. Sun.-Wed. 11 a.m.-ll p.m.; Thur.-Sat. 11 a.m.-l a.m. Visa, MasterCard.Moderate to expensive. -W.L.Taitte



Italian Lite

SWEET DASIL The look of this fur, far North Dallas restaurant-on the Oklahoma side of Addison Airport-is bright and fresh, with sunlight reaching both the indoor dining rooms and the large covered patio on a summer evening. The menu concept-call it “Italian lite’- seems to fit right in with few heavy sauces and a liberal use of fresh vegetables. Among the appetizers we’ve sampled here, the approach works well. Pasta fagioli, the hearty Italian soup featuring red beans and short pieces of macaroni, boasts nicely cooked hunks of carrot and celery in a slightly undersalted broth-with a kick of hot pepper. A special of fresh eggplant Roman-style resembles a parmigiana. except that the eggplant isn’t battered and fried, and the marinara sauce looks and tastes like barely cooked and puréed tomatoes with whole leaves of the sweet basil for which the restaurant is named. The huge Caesar salad is lemony and light tasting, untouched by the more assertive taste of the traditional anchovies.

But the main dishes, while still on the light side, aren’t nearly as satisfying as the appetizers led us to hope. The menu description of “chicken breast grilled” held no mention of tomato sauce-we expected a California-style grilled breast with some pasta on the side-but the chicken came bathed in sauce, sitting atop a great pile of linguini. To compound disappointment, both the linguini and the fettuccine in a dish of Alfredo were soggily overcooked. Perhaps due to another attempt to lighten traditionally heavy tastes, the Alfredo seemed watery-the sauce had almost no flavor, not even of salt. Daily specials of baked ziti Pavarotti and veal medallions with shrimp in an excessive amount of lemon butter proved more satisfactory than entrees ordered from the menu, but were nothing to write home about.

A couple of the desserts-carnival-colorfulspumoni and an enormous Napoleon ofstrawberries and whipped cream, bothawash in a refreshing lake of strawberrypurée-did the “Italian lite’1 theme proud.But the disappointment of the main disheson the whole sabotaged the appealingamhience, hard-working service, andreasonable prices at Sweet Basil. 17610Midway. 733-1500. Lunch Mon.-Fri. 11a.m.-2:30 p.m.; dinner Mon.-Thur. 5-10;open Fri.-Sat. 5-11. All credit cards.Moderate. -W.L.T.



Bistro A Go-Go

SAMBUCA One of the jumpingest new joints in très hip Deep Ellum, this Mediterranean bistro is so hot it’s hopping from 6 to midnight (the bar stays open one hour after the restaurant closes) and requires a doorman the size of a Volkswagen to oversee the traffic. When you do get in (no reservations are taken), you can see that the space is rather charmingly typical of the neighborhood with a kind of post-industrial, rustic look. Live jazz in the hard-surfaced setting makes a din just barely short of conversation-stopping. Servicepersons are young and cool, but efficient. The food, a collage of dishes and flavors from all over the Mediterranean including Moroccan couscous, Italian pesto, and French aioli, tasted great, but the actual cooking was often inaccurate. The food was well seasoned, but many items were either overcooked or undercooked. It could be the rush; it could be the newness; it could get better as the staff becomes accustomed to downtown Saturday night a long way from mellowland. Till then, Sambuca’s still worth a stop for the scene and the seasonings.

Appetizers took top honors: Just-grilled shrimp were swimming in a sauce of garlic and harissa (Moroccan hot pepper paste) around a conical mound of couscous; cornbread-like crescents of polenta came with a lusty pesto dip; buttery crostini were piled with garlicky sautéed mushrooms. Cold tomato-basil soup was excellent. Transparent slices of salmon carpaccio were slightly over-marinated with puréed garlic and lots of lime juice. After our appetizers, the service staff got a real chance to show their stuff-our unstable table dipped the contents of our glasses and plates in our laps. The whole mess was cleared up in mere minutes and the lost wine removed from the bill.

Entrees were accompanied by good, herb-flecked, homemade rolls. A platter of grilled vegetables-carrots, zucchini, eggplant, squash, scallions-came with a glaze of garlicky aioli. Some of the veggies were a little tough, some a little soft, but the flavors were assertive and good. Greek salad was topped with a mound of crumbled feta cheese. The sautéed salmon with garlic was slightly overcooked (perhaps due to the additional cooking on the too-hot-to-touch plates). Checkerboard raviolini made of dark and light pastas were stuffed with ricotta and rested on a tomato concasé lopped with parsley coulis. This pasta was a little tough, and the green and while fettuccine with smoked chicken and sun-dried tomatoes was a little overcooked, but both dishes were tasty.

Desserts needed some attention from the kitchen: The rice pudding was a leaden disaster; the Italian wedding cake was only okay. The house coffee, with its subtle aroma of vanilla and ha/el nut. made an excellent dessert all by itself even for someone not usually fond of flavored coffees. 2618 Elm St. 744-0820. Lunch Mon.-Fri. 11-2:30: dinner Mon.-Wed. 6-11, Thur.-Sat. 6-1; open Sunday 11-2:30. All credit cards. Moderate. -Mary Brown Malouf

D REVISI

BARBECUE



D Revisits Baker’s Ribs. Despite its locution in late-night land, Baker’s is true to its barbecue roots and closesearly, at 7 on weekdays. The place doesn’t make concessionsto k.d. lang disciples, either-if you don’t eat meat, don’tbother with Baker’s. Except for afterthought side dishes ofpotato salad, pasta salad, cole slaw, and beans, meat is themenu here, and it is excellent. Rich rib meat falls from thebones: chicken is slow-cooked till the skin is leathery andthe meat within is smoky and juicy; brisket is tender with aperfect red stripe. Get it to go if you don’t eat early. 2724Commerce. 748-5433. Inexpensive. -M.B.M



BURGERS



D Revisits Balls Hamburgers. The name says it all-both Balls locations are Tilled with sports memorabilia of every description, making them favorite spots for aftergame dinners and post-season parties for preteen teams. I like the little burgers on biscuit-like buns and the meaty, medium rare, regular-size burgers, and my kids like the “cheese bats” (fried cheese sticks); but the new grilled chicken sandwich was tough, and milkshakes were too chick to be real. This is a fun family place and is handy for a fast lunch. 3404 Rankin in Snider Plaza. 373-1717. 4343 W. Northwest Highway. 352-2525. Inexpensive. -M.B.M.

CAJUN



D Revisits Crescent City Cafe. We still like the BigEasy atmosphere at this laid-back cafe, although the servicelast time was a little loo lax. The wait staff needs toremember that the customers are the ones who are supposedto be taking it easy. Once we ordered, the food arrivedpromptly, so the kitchen seems to be awake, anyway. Crescent City’s muffaletta is a satisfying version of a great sandwich: layered provolone, olive salad, and salami on a crispysesame-covered round loaf. Oyster and shrimp poor-boys,stuffed with fried shellfish, are also good, and you can’t beatthe red beans. These beignets are more like sopapillas thanthe French Market originals, but they still taste good witha big cup of café au lait. 2730 Commerce. 745-1900. Inexpen-siw. -M.R.M.



HOME COOKING

D Reivisits Good Eats Cafe. Sorry. Gene Street, but your new Addison Good Eats is a far cry from the Oak Lawn original that won local hearts with its home-simple, fresh-breath-of-Austin food and ambience. Servers are courteous, extra-friendly to children, and agile-they have to be to keep up with the crowds waiting in line for their turn to try the food. Ah, the food-our visit found it probably as healthy and every bit as simple as claimed. Too simple, for those of us who require a smidgen of seasoning here and there. Vegetables we tried were fresh and nicely cooked but lacked the zing that even a quick dash of sult would have provided.The chicken-fried steak’s scant wash of gravy was totallytasteless on the too thickly battered cutlet. A cheeseburger’sbeef was good and lean; pork chops were over-grilled totoughness, but flavorful: the famous chicken pie.a deeper-dish version than my old favorite, held less chicken than Iremember. Banana pudding wasn’t interesting enough tofinish, and the chocolate syrup brought to pour over icecream tasted downright chemical. so we left that, too, anddeparted wondering what it is about home cooking thatdefies chain-restaurant formulating, no matter how wholesome the intent- 149005 Midway Road, Addison. 392-3287.Inexpensive. – B.C.



ITALIAN



D Ravisits MoMo’s Pasta. Most of the restaurants in (he MoMo’s group arc unpretentious in decor, but the liny space here, with its few tables surrounded by folding chairs, bring), casualness to new heights. The menu is similarly trimmed down. There are some appetizers, like a marinated carpaccio and the insalata alla pescatora (with shrimp. squid, and a few scallops in a heavy tomato and olive oil sauce), but otherwise the menu is limited to pastas and pasta-substitutes like spinach gnocchi. The filled pastas, such as meat ravioli and big tortelli filled with spinach and ricotta. arc flavorful, but the portions are rather small for entrées. Perhaps the standout invention here is the capelli d’angelo alia MoMo. Thin pasta is sauced with shrimp, salmon, garlic, onions, parsley, and enough red pepper to give the dish an undefinable kick. 3312 Knox. 521-3009. Inexpensive to monderate.

-W.LT.



JAPANESE



D Revisits Shinano Japanese Restaurant. The Dallas area doesn’t get many new Japanese restaurants, but the ones we have tend to be long-lived. Shinano. for instance, has survived because of its homey appeal. It’s somehow comforting to find an appetizer of crisply fried scallops accompanied by dipping sauces that for all the world seemed like French’s mustard and A.I. sauce. This Japanese-American rapprochement extends to vegetables that come alongside main dishes-is that tartar sauce that anoints the chilled broccoli? Shinano does well by traditional Japanese dishes such as shrimp tempura with all the trimmings. Teriyaki-broiled salmon is delicious Tor those who want their fish cooked. For those who want to experiment with sashimi. the infamous raw fish, this might not be the best place-the bricks of rose-colored tuna and slices of mackeret tasted fresh enough, but came to the table at less than the optimal chill. 8830 Spring Valley. 644-1436. Moderate. -W.L.T.



KOREAN



D Revisits Koreana. This is the most upscale in feel and location of the Metroplex’s Korean restaurants, but there is still a grandmotherly charm about the service, and the menu includes all sons of things that assure authenticity. Most Westerners will be happier slicking to the first couple of items on the long and confusing menu: bul ko kee (thinly sliced beef) and but kal bee (thinly sliced beef short ribs, the bone already removed), both of which come to the table marinated but uncooked, ready to be barbecued on the grills set into most of the tables here. Exhaust hoods above each individual grill keep the atmosphere smokeless and grease-less, and the barbecue is beautifully set off by the array of cold Korean-style vegetables that accompany it. For the mildly adventuresome, the kan phoong kee (diced chicken, deep-fried and tossed with ginger and garlic) and jap chae (clear noodles seasoned with slivers of meat and vegetables) make good supplements to the barbecue. Be warned, by the way. that the sedate armosphere of quiet week nights changes on the weekends when a Korean clientele comes in to sing along with the laser-disc karaoke machine. 12101 Greenville Aw,, #107. 437-1211. Inexpensive to moderate. -W.L.T

MEXICAN

D Revisits Anita’s Mexican Cantina. Anita’s is afun. festive place: The interior puts a funky spin on the now-common cantina decor with whimsical additions to the wallsof beer cases and galvanized steel. We especially like the imposing columns at the entry, constructed of gaily painted55-gallon drums. The food is straightforward Tex-Mex andvery good; the service was outstanding for such a casualspot. Especially notable is the deep-fried, cheese-stuffedavocado billed as an appetizer-outrageously rich, the singleserving is plenty for three to share. 7324 Gaston, Suite #319.328-9639. Inexpensive. -M.B.M.
