    New ghost kitchen concept in Frisco debuts with BBQ and hot link queso

    We're all hoping 2021 will be better and here's some promising news to start off January right: A "ghost kitchen" focused on barbecue will debut in Dallas-Fort Worth.

    Called Secret Sauce Barbecue, it'll be a takeout-only restaurant from Bottleneck Management, the Chicago-based restaurant group that owns and operates City Works Eatery & Pour House, which has two DFW locations, in Frisco and Fort Worth.

    It'll open on January 4 at both of those locations, delivery only; pickup will follow in early 2021.

    Menu highlights include:

    • baby back ribs
    • pulled BBQ chicken
    • hot links
    • fried smoked wings
    • mac & cheese

    A release explains that Secret Sauce reflects a love for barbecue shared by Jason Akemann, Nate Hilding, and Chris Bisaillon, who own Bottleneck Management.

    Barbecue also lends itself to a versatile menu, large portions for families, and a capacity for traveling well in a takeout format. That smoked meat can stay good for hours.

    Bottleneck marketing honcho Angela Zoiss says in a statement they wanted to adapt to the changes that the pandemic has wrought that could also be sustainable for the future.

    "The lightbulb went on for us when we realized that we could create a virtual brand that could live online, but that we could execute from our existing kitchens," Zoiss says. "We decided this could really work and could likely even thrive in today's on-demand, carryout/delivery-driven environment."

    Appetizers include Hot Link Queso Dip with smoked Louisiana Hot Link, pimento pepper jack cheese sauce, queso fresco, green onion, and white corn tortilla; and chili-rubbed Fried Smoked Wings with choice of housemade BBQ sauces including Carolina Mustard BBQ, Buffalo, and Nashville Hot.

    Meats include Baby Back Ribs, Hot Links, Pulled Pork, and Smoked Chicken Wings, served with white bread, pickles, and choice of two sides such as Creamy Grits, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn, Chipotle Coleslaw, and Maple Bacon Baked Beans.

    Additional entrées include BBQ Pork Tacos with BBQ sauce, classic slaw, pickled red onions, queso fresco, and avocado; Southern Mac & Cheese with house-smoked pork shoulder, pimento cheese sauce, cornbread crumble, cavatappi; and the Smokehouse Burger made with BBQ pulled pork shoulder, smoked provolone, BBQ bacon onion relish, Carolina mustard BBQ sauce, and onion rings.

    Secret Sauce will operate during the same hours as City Works Eatery & Pour House. Order online or via Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash.

    City Works will continue to celebrate all styles of craft beer with 90 varieties on draft, and its chefs will continue cook from scratch, adding twists to American classics. City Works currently has nine locations across the country in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Frisco, Fort Worth, Schaumburg, Wheeling, Vernon Hills, and Disney Springs.

    Dallas restaurant Frenchie debuts in former Corner Bakery spot

    A French restaurant has debuted in an iconic Dallas space: Called Frenchie, it's a new concept from Travis Street Hospitality (Knox Street Bistro, Georgie) now open in North Dallas’ Preston Center Plaza in the former Corner Bakery space at 8420 Preston Center Plaza.

    Described as a quintessential French brasserie designed as a casual, everyday restaurant serving an all-day menu of lunch and dinner (with breakfast launching in the coming weeks), it's a new direction for Travis Hospitality, who are venturing outside of their usual Knox-Henderson neighborhood and their first venture without white-tablecloth service.

    The 4,000-square-foot restaurant offers seating for 150 in the dining room and bar, and a 1,200-square-foot covered patio with an indoor-outdoor bar.

    Frenchie is the natural evolution for founders Stephan Courseau and Daniele Garcia and culinary director, Bruno Davaillon, who have built a reputation on refined, French-forward restaurants like Knox Bistro, Georgie and Le PasSage. Together, they’ve tempered their French-born culinary heritage and fine-dining training with American sensibilities to create a more family-friendly concept designed for North Dallas’ premier mixed-use district.

    “Frenchie is an American French restaurant made by French guys who are now in the American mainstream,” Courseau said. “Frenchie represents the version of the French people we are today. It’s who we became over the years – authentic to who we are today.”

    While Frenchie embraces a more relaxed tone, the restaurant remains grounded in the fundamentals of classic French bistros. Design details include pewter bar tops, patinaed mirrors, brass sconces, rattan chairs, and rows of cozy banquettes.

    Chef Bruno Davaillon has created a menu that blends classic French comfort food with all-day versatility – think crepes, rillettes, quiche, poulet rôti, tartare de boeuf, salade Parisienne, and pâtes au pistou, served from morning coffee and croissants to onion soup and burgers at lunch, and steak frites and profiteroles for dinner. Frenchie will also have a cocktail menu and wine list—featuring small French wineries. The beverage menu includes a freezer martini—custom bottled and pre-chilled by Travis Street Hospitality’s Executive Mixologist, Mario Martinez, exclusively for Frenchie.

    As a thoughtful, everyday destination, Frenchie appeals to many facets of the Dallas dining scene, from families and busy parents to office workers and local shoppers. With refreshing joie de vivre, Frenchie represents an exciting new era for Travis Street Hospitality. After launching two new concepts last year – Le PasSage and Rose Café, both at The Terminal at Katy Trail – Frenchie is ready to plant new roots in a dynamic corner of the city.

    Founded by Stephan Courseau and Daniele Garcia, Travis Hospitality has been on the dining scene since 2013, the year after CultureMap Dallas launched, beginning with the debut of Le Bilboquet, which CultureMap Dallas was first to cover. This was followed by the opening of Knox Bistro, Georgie and The Georgie Butcher Shop (2019), Rose Café at Le PasSage and Le PasSage (2024).
