Dallas' No. 1 diner shares first look at ballyhooed chef's restaurant

Reservations are now on for Homewood, the newly opened restaurant from award-winning chef Matt McCallister. McCallister has been working on this Oak Lawn restaurant which took over the former Beck's Prime space at 4002 Oak Lawn Ave. since the 2018 [https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/05-09-18-ft33-matt-mccallister-close-design-district/] closure of his acclaimed Design District restaurant FT33. He's a longtime critical darling, and the restaurant is already being met with hosannas, even despite a tagline that says [https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCtZsSH8Yr/] "Warm atmosphere + genuine food." Is there food that is not genuine? Dallas' most diligent diner, Brad Murano, has already visited the restaurant and had a meal. He's allowed us to borrow his photos for a first look.
