Amuse
bishop arts week day 3
Doug Brown, the Nana/Landmark chef who moved downtown last year to do the Eatzi's-esque to-go market Beyond the Box w/ biz partner-pastry chef Jason Foss, is getting more deeply urban: He's set to open a new restaurant in the South Side district across from Gilley's. Called Amuse, it'll take over the spot that is currently South Side Grill. It'll be a 64-seat restaurant w/ lounge, patio, and great downtown views. Opening date is "middle of January" says doug.
Amuse, 1326 S. Lamar St. (not exactly bishop arts but, you know, south-ish)

I saw that South Side Grill spot the other week while leaving Gilley's. Looked scary, though I did like that Absinthe Lounge with that whole basement feel.
When this new place opens, there'll be four things down there and Lee Harvey's is not too far from there either. Not too bad. We'll see if a new restaurant helps the area any.
i haven't had the chance to hit lee harvey's; did you eat there? seems like someplace i would like
doug has a lot of fans; i think he'd be a big draw
TG, more BREAKING NEWS, we can ALWAYS depend on NYCE to bring us the the latest SCOOP.
TG: I've not eaten there, but I've had a drink there. The problem with LH is that it gets so packed, that it's very difficult to even GET a drink (and it's a dive) so I can't really justify waiting over 10 minutes at a bar for a drink at a place like that. That, and the fact that it truly is in the middle of nowhere and you have to drive to it and I don't care what anyone says, it's not in the safest part of town (primarily because of its isolated location).
Lee Harvey's is the cat's meow, especially on Sunday "Dog Day Afternoons." On one such June afternoon, about 20 people and 10 canine pets roamed the fenced-in yard around the old stone house. The staff stokes the outdoor grills, and you can bring your own food to grill. Frankly, I didn't even know they served food.
i talked to them months before they opened, and at that point, they talked about trying to do semi-upscale stuff. it's one of those places that has been "on my list" ... along w/ hibiscus, hector's, zoom, perry's ... sigh
I hear you get a free burger at LH if you take a box of window blinds.
I thinks this post actually should be renamed 'Bishop Art's Day 3 - nothing to post so let me Amuse you.'
I don't understand the "window blinds" reference. I assume it's related to the Grassy Knoll? But what does it mean.
B.K.'s comment is cute.
LH got his rifle into the school book depository by saying the box held blinds. also, he is sort of on the oak cliff subject, since he lived there.
A friend forwarded me your site. I consider myself a fan of Doug Brown, and wondered if this news was true. I guess I am a little curious as to why I haven't seen it appear in any publications in Dallas.
thank you twisted. it's so weird to me that people would rather listen to songs they've already heard when there's all this new music out there
twisted: your four-plex is looking great. you need to entice dunlap swain across the river and lots of us wouldn't mind living there.
ms.ery, you think dunlap swain moreso than starbucks? tee-hee (sorry, i couldn't resist. how could i resist a great straight line like that?)
twisted: have you seen today's NYT story on the suburban trend of keeping chickens as pets? wasn't there some flap about oak cliff roosters a few years ago?
tg: yes, dunlap swain over starbucks anytime. i can make a cup of coffee but my auto mechanic talents are limited. and these guys RESCUE you, as when your car dies downtown during rush hour
dunlam, snicker snicker. do you mean DUNLAP??? ha ha ha. but hey, twisted made a comment last nite at 11:18 and then another almost exactly 12 hours later
burlap-sack?
dim-bulb?
