    Taste the Difference

    Dallas' top chefs line up to cook and converse at new Fair Park foodie event

    A new foodie event is coming to Fair Park this summer, and Dallas’ top toques are on the bill. Taking place June 12-14, Taste the Difference, presented by CultureMap, is a series of intimate dining experiences, and every seat sold helps fill the coffers at the American Heart Association.

    Organizers assure us this is no ordinary dinearound; it’s designed to be a culinary adventure. “We are elevating the art of the meal and offering guests a true adventure for the palate,” says organizer and local restaurateur Scott Jones, who has expanded on what was previously known as Taste of the Town and tapped some of his high-profile friends to do the cooking:

    • Dean Fearing, Fearing’s
    • Bob Stephenson, FnG Eats
    • Brian Zenner, The Mitchell and On Premise
    • Jeff Harris, American Food + Beverage
    • Nico Sanchez, Meso Maya
    • Abraham Salum, Salum and Komali
    • Blythe Beck, exiting chef from Kitchen LTO
    • Kirstyn Brewer, Victor Tangos
    • Omar Flores, Casa Rubia
    • Uno Immanivong, Chino Chinatown
    • Anthony Van Camp, Ser Steaks + Spirits
    • Randall Warder, Clark Food & Wine and C’Viche
    • Scott Gottlich, Second Floor

    The above chefs will prepare signature recipes in one of four open kitchens. They will also converse with guests, offering culinary secrets only their sous chefs know.

    Attendees can also sample dishes from other participating restaurants, such as Urban Crust, Resto Gastro Bistro, Lavendou, Bridge Bistro, Loca Luna, Cru, Princi Italia, Amberjax, Fireside Pies, Max’s Wine Dive and The Palm. And no tasting event is complete with an assortment of libations. In addition to proposed beer and wine pairings for menu items, there will be a mixology bar to procure a cocktail or two.

    There are four sessions available for Taste the Difference:

    Friday, June 12, 7-10:30 pm
    Saturday, June 13, 1-4:30 pm
    Saturday, June 13, 7-10:30 pm
    Sunday, June 14, 2-5:30 pm

    Tickets are $125 per session and can be purchased online starting May 12. Hosted inside Centennial Hall, Taste the Difference runs concurrently with Taste of Dallas, and a separate ticket is required. However, a ticket to Taste the Difference also includes complimentary admission to Taste of Dallas.

    Dean Fearing is one of the participating chefs in Taste the Difference.

    School Cafeteria News

    Unusual new restaurant in Lewisville summons Korean school cafeteria

    F&F on the Go

    An adorable restaurant that serves up a Korean school lunch has opened in Lewisville: Called F&F On The Go, it's at 2405 S. Stemmons Fwy. #201, on the second floor of Korean specialty Zion Market, where it specializes in Geupshik — a Korean custom that refers to the homestyle lunch meals provided by schools or companies.

    At F&F, you get a pre-set meal, served in a stainless steel tray with compartments for the different courses. You make two choices: black or white rice and your protein, from choices such as Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, Spicy Squid, and Salmon Steak.

    Every meal comes with the banchan, or Korean side dishes, which the restaurant rotates daily — there's usually a salad and kim chi — plus a classic Japanese yogurt drink called “Yakult."

    For $14.99, you get an authentic, yet approachable taste of Korean comfort food, says co-founder Eric Song.

    “It’s a unique concept in DFW that blends Korean and Japanese flavors with a nostalgic touch,” Song says.

    F&F On The Go is part of the growing Fast and Furious brand, which launched in Irving in 2013, where Song is head of operations and brand development. Their first concept was F&F Japanese Grill, a fast-casual hibachi restaurant featuring Korean and Japanese fusion cuisine which now has locations in Addison, Plano, Frisco, and Greenville Avenue.

    In 2016, they expanded with a food truck, F&F Express, which makes K-style bowls.

    With F&F On The Go, Song wanted to create a casual, but high-quality dining experience inspired by the nostalgic Korean school lunch style.

    The presentation was designed to bring a touch of nostalgia, yet be appealing to diners unfamiliar with the style or dishes. The counter and seating area have a clean finish while capturing the essence of a Korean school cafeteria. The word “Geupshik” (급식) in Korean literally means "school meal" or "lunch service."

    The restaurant is in a multicultural area north of the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Lewisville — surrounded by sushi restaurants and Korean street food stores.

    “We chose the location based on strong community presence and growing demand for Asian comfort food in the area,” Song says.
