    Refreshing Hawaiian lemonade & smoothie shop set for Bishop Arts Dallas

    UPDATE 2-7-2022: Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade opened its location in Bishop Arts on February 5. This is the first Dallas location for the chain, which is also opening a location at the Dallas Farmers Market, in summer 2022.

    ------------------------------

    Dallas gets a refreshing taste of Hawaii with the arrival of Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade, known for smoothies, bowls, and gourmet lemonade, which is opening a location in Bishop Arts.

    The stand will be at 320 W 8th St., two doors down from Wild Detectives, in what was previously a coffee and smoothie shop called Serve. According to a spokesperson, Wow Wow is slated to open in mid- to late-fall.

    Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonades offers fresh, all-natural Hawaiian lemonades and smoothies and a food menu consisting of acai bowls, grain bowls, flatbread sandwiches, and multigrain avocado and nut butter toasts.

    The concept was founded in Hawaii in 2012, growing from a stand to a trailer, to a brick-and-mortar location on Maui in 2014. They opened their first franchise in 2017; today there are eight lemonade stands domestically and two internationally, with another eight or so in development. It's currently headed by Tim Weiderhoft, a former VP for the Arizona-based Massage Envy chain.

    Wow Wow's signature is gourmet lemonade in a variety of flavors: from classic lemonade to Ginger Pineapple, Passionfruit Guava, Blue Hawaii, and the Lava Flow Lemonade.

    Other healthy menu items include the Sunrise Smoothie, Cold Brew Crave Acai Bowl, and Chili Lime Avocado Toast.

    Another big Wow Wow thing is its dedication to sustainability. They sell lemonades and smoothies in re-usable Mason jars, and you can get a discount on your next purchase if you bring the Mason Jar back to reuse.

    The concept comes to Dallas via Lakewood residents Nancy and Kevin Taylor. Kevin founded Texas Security Bank with his business partners 13 years ago; Nancy is a CPA who also runs Oma's German Treats, a seasonal business that sells German desserts during Oktoberfest and the holiday months.

    Weiderhoft calls them "ideal franchisees," stating that "they both embody the Aloha feel and spirit."

    "Being a part of their community has always been important to the couple – Nancy served as Treasurer of Lakewood Early Childhood PTA and Kevin is Treasurer of the Friends of Lakewood dad's group for Lakewood Elementary – and that will be no different when they open their three lemonade stands," he says.

    They're looking to open a location in Lakewood, as well, and in the interim, have been hosting pop-up events including one they'll do on September 4 from 12-5 pm, at 406 W. 9th St. in Bishop Arts, which they're doing in collaboration with like-minded businesses that include The Wild Flour, a vegan and eco-friendly dessert shop.

    Steakhouse News

    High-profile Palladino's Steak & Seafood heads to Preston-Royal Dallas

    Filet Mignon will be on the menu.

    A high-profile new steakhouse is coming to North Dallas: Palladino’s Steak & Seafood, an eponymous concept from Dallas restaurateur Joseph Palladino, will open at 5959 Royal Ln., in the former Spec's space.

    Palladino is the larger-than-life ex-NYPD police officer-turned-restaurateur known for concepts such as Nick & Sam's Steakhouse and the Coal Vines pizza chain.

    Palladino first landed on the Dallas restaurant scene in 1998 to partner up with the equally larger-than-life restaurateur Phil Romano, and went on to have a hand in the creation of Nick & Sam’s, the glitzy steakhouse on Maple Avenue (now run by Sam Romano, son of co-founder Phil Romano), Nick & Sam's Grill, Dos Jefes, and more. He created Coal Vines as an homage to the casual neighborhood restaurants reminiscent of his upbringing in New York.

    Palladino's Steak & Seafood is a newly created concept, which will combine steakhouse, Italian dishes, and seafood, particularly sushi. The first location is already penciled in for New York, opening in the former Michael Jordan Steakhouse at Grand Central Terminal, which closed in 2018. It's being designed by the international design firm Rockwell Group and is slated to open in early summer.

    Palladino was approached by the landlords to open a restaurant in the center. Given Palladino's local following and personal ties, as well as the large local appetite for steakhouses, Dallas made sense as a second location, particularly in that highly desirable location at Preston and Royal.

    On the culinary side, Palladino is partnered with veteran chef Sam Hazen, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America as well as an instructor there. His star-studded resume includes La Côte Basque, the Quilted Giraffe, Quatorze, Michelin three-star Le Gavroche, Terrace in the Sky, Cascabel, and Tavern on the Green. He was most recently at Tao, the glitzy Asian concept from Tao Hospitality, where he worked for a decade, giving him sushi expertise.

    Palladino is busy getting the New York location open first, with a target date of "soon", and the menu has yet to be revealed, although Hazen previewed a dish on Linked In.

    "But it'll have high-quality steaks and seafood, along with some of my trademark specials and Italian dishes," Palladino says.

    The hospitality will match the cuisine and ambience. “I intend to bring a very special steakhouse to the city, one that the locals can embrace," Palladino says. "They’re going to receive a good experience — that’s important to me.”
