Former Top Chef contestant Tre Wilcox sets the culinary direction of this Southern restaurant in Plano. The restaurant name is a tribute to and inspired by the lives of two family matriarchs, Julia and Pearl. Those names also help define the menu into categories. The "Julia" side represents traditional Southern food — biscuits and gravy, seafood gumbo, shrimp and grits — while the "Pearl" side of the menu is more modern.
