    Biscuits, anyone?

    Recidivist restaurateur Scott Jones to open biscuit-centric Jack's SouthernComfort Food on Greenville Avenue

    Scott Jones, whose last few restaurants have centered on Southern home cooking, is back with another restaurant that — ta-da! — centers on Southern home cooking. Jack's Southern Comfort Food is scheduled to open October 1 at 1905 Greenville Ave., in the old Ali Baba space.

    According to a release, Jack's is a family-inspired concept, named for Jones' father, with a menu that pays homage to his mother's cooking. Continuing the family theme, his sister Sandy Jones will head the bakery, specializing in pies, fried pies, puddings and other Southern favorites. Sandy recently retired from the Arlington Police Department, where she was a 9-1-1 operator and dispatcher for 27 years. Executive chef is Terance Jenkins, who will execute Jones' dishes but do the menu for weekend brunch.

    There are biscuits at breakfast, biscuits at lunch and biscuits to go. Oh, there are dessert biscuits too, including "sticky biscuits" baked in maple butter with toasted nuts.

    Jack's big item is biscuits. Jones devised a recipe he likes and made it the basis of many of his menu items. Signature dishes include biscuit sandwiches such as the biscuit burger with bacon, cheddar and pickled jalapeno; the BLFGT, with fried green tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno tomato jam and mayo; the brisket biscuit dip with brisket, onions, mushrooms, pepper Jack cheese and a side of brisket gravy; and upside-down pot pie, made with choice of brisket, crawfish, mushrooms or smoked chicken.

    There are biscuits at breakfast, biscuits at lunch and biscuits to go. There are biscuits baked into a breakfast casserole with sausage, spinach and artichokes; fried chicken biscuits; griddled ham biscuits; and biscuits and gravy. Biscuits sold from a deli case come in flavors such as onion-goat cheese, mozzarella and sun-dried tomato, jalapeno-roasted pecan, and olive-rosemary. Oh, there are dessert biscuits too, including cinnamon biscuits and "sticky biscuits" baked in maple butter with toasted nuts.

    Decor-wise, menu boards are fashioned from reclaimed screen doors that hang above the deli cases. A wall dedicated to Texas legends includes photos of Ann Richards and Ross Perot; another wall has an egg theme, with vintage deviled-egg holders and paintings dedicated to deviled eggs. Tablecloths are burlap sacks over a white cloth, and napkins follow the Neighborhood Services/Sissy's mode of tea towels, with mix-and-match vintage flatware. (So that's why there are no forks at the Goodwill store!)

    Jack's will also sell a line of jams, jellies and butters such as raspberry jalapeno jam, jalapeno onion relish, hot chow chow and Mayhaw jelly in 20-ounce jars for $7-$8.

    As for Jones' previous home-cooking projects, Screen Door in One Arts Plaza was taken over by landlord Lucy Billingsley, who brought in chef David McMillan, then shut it down in July. It will reopen in October as Cafe des Artistes, a Cali-French concept from restaurateur Alberto Lombardi. McMillan is now in the kitchen at Meddlesome Moth.

    Jones went on to open Cowtown Diner in Fort Worth in January 2010, which earned some press for its 64-ounce chicken-fried steak; that place was bought in December 2011 by Zack Moutaouakil, owner of Mercury Chophouse in Sundance Square. In May 2011, Jones opened the ill-fated Macho Nacho in the old Hunky's space on Cedar Springs but was locked out of the space for nonpayment of rent in November of last year.

    Crepe News

    Sweet Paris crepe chain folds in another Dallas location in Addison

    Sweet crepes are coming to Addison via Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, the Houston-based crêpes chain, which is opening a location in Prestonwood Place, at 5290 Belt Line Rd. #110, with doors expected to open in early 2026.

    Sweet Paris was founded in Houston in 2012 by Ivan and Allison Chavez with a mission to revive the art of eating crepes. There's a location in Southlake, which opened in 2024, and another in McKinney, which just opened in June. (There's also a location coming soon to Dallas' Snider Plaza.)

    The menu offers 20 crepes in varieties savory and sweet including dulce de leche, lemon & sugar, s'mores, chicken enchilada, Philly cheesesteak, and a vegan option with portobello mushrooms, black bean purée, corn salsa, and chipotle sauce.

    While crepes are the signature, they also serve waffles, egg breakfasts, panini, and salads. A "croque madame" crepe has scrambled eggs, gruyère, smoked ham, & béchamel sauce, while an Alaskan has smoked salmon, pickled red onions, capers, and scrambled eggs, topped with dill sour cream, & scallions. Everything is $20 or less.

    They also serve beer and wine, mimosas, milkshakes, espresso drinks such as lattes, and hot chocolate.

    This new location marks the third of four units to be developed by franchisee duo Ludo and Yi Le Gall.

    “We fell in love with Sweet Paris the moment we discovered it,” Ludo says in a statement. “Bringing this unique experience to Texans has been a dream come true, and we’re thrilled to grow our presence throughout the state with a new location in Addison.”

    Situated within Restaurant Row at Belt Line & Montford, Prestonwood Place includes hot hot restaurants like Mendocino Farms, Flower Child, Loro, Postino, Original Pancake House, and more. All it was missing was crepes. Now that niche has been filled by Sweet Paris, with crêpes, coffee, and charm.

    Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café has been growing and now has 21 stores in operation in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Mexico.
