Savor These Dates

Savor Dallas releases details for 'dramatically reinvented' 2015 festival

Savor Dallas, the longtime food-and-wine event that got scooped up this past summer by Dallas Morning News events marketing arm CrowdSource, has released the dates of its “dramatically reinvented” 11th year: March 19-22, 2015.

According to an adjective-filled release, the four-day festival, which as been “reimagined and enriched” by its new management, promises to “unite winemakers, restaurateurs and top chefs with wine collectors, craft enthusiasts and lovers of exquisite food during a series of upscale events that cater to discerning palates.”

Savor Dallas starts Thursday, March 19, with the Dallas Arts District Wine Stroll, followed by Savor the Arboretum on March 20, a laid-back sampling experience at sunset. As per usual, winemakers and chefs will lead seminars throughout the weekend.

The Reserve Tasting takes place March 21 at the Women’s Museum in Fair Park, featuring wines, spirits and craft beers, as well as a silent auction. Later that night is the big-deal Grand Tasting at Fair Park’s Centennial Hall, where attendees can feast on small bites prepared by the city’s top chefs and sample more beer, wine and spirits. Those events had been held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

“The 2015 festival will offer consumers an elevated social experience encompassing the best flavors of the city, while celebrating fine wine and the art of both craft cocktails and beer — all taking place at some of Dallas’ most notable cultural and culinary destinations,” said CrowdSource president and general manager Alison Draper. “We couldn’t be more excited to execute the bold vision we have for 2015 and beyond.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 9, ranging from à la carte options to all-access packages.

Savor Dallas is slated for March 19-22, 2015.

Froze News

Foodie-centric Flamant restaurant in Plano closes doors after a year

Plano restaurant Flamant, which brought an ambitious foodie option to the Boardwalk at Granite Park, has closed. The chef-driven restaurant, located at 5880 SH-121 #103b, closed in mid-October; it been open for 16 months.

In a statement, owner Tanner Agar confirmed that the restaurant had closed, saying that he'd received an offer from another operator to take over the space.

"There are some people who wanted to buy out the space and we decided to let them," he said.

Agar and executive chef Taylor Rause opened Flamant with great fanfare in June 2025 as a European live fire cocktail bar and bistro — a sibling to Rye and Apothecary, the two concepts they owned on Greenville Avenue. The duo had earned multiple accolades, including a "Recommended" status in the 2024 Michelin Guide Texas.

Flamant's menu was rooted in the culinary traditions of Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy, with food cooked over an open flame — allowing Agar to revisit his time working in both Spain and France as a young chef. It also represented a return to the northern suburbs, where the duo had previously operated a restaurant in McKinney.

Featured dishes included a vegan "faux gras," pasta, wood-fired Wagyu burger, and pepperoncini chicken. True to form, its bar menu was superb with knockout cocktails that included two irresistible frozen drinks: the Frozérosé with Ilegal mezcal, coconut, and strawberry, and a soft-serve margarita with Patrón blanco, grilled pineapple soft serve, and lime.

They also hosted an unusual "resort-style" all you-can-eat weekend brunch, served not from a buffet, but directly to your table, with options such as hashbrowns with smashed avocado, shakshuka, and cannoli French toast.

Agar has never been afraid to follow his muse even if it meant disrupting an established presence such as the one they developed with Rye.

The chef-driven concept debuted in McKinney in 2015, followed by a second location on Greenville Avenue in 2021. (The McKinney location closed in 2022 after its building was extensively damaged in a fire.)

Rye became known for its innovative tasting menu, and in 2024 earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, which praised its “genuine hospitality” and “unrestrained” cuisine.

Despite the acclaim, they closed Rye in early 2026, giving over the space to Apothecary, their adjacent bar. In March 2026, they shape-shifted Apothecary into a dual-bar concept under two names, Apothecary and Alchemy, which by the way is about to debut a new menu.

As for the Flamant space, Agar says he can't talk about what's next but that the new owners will soon announce their plans.

"Right now, I'm focused on Apothecary and my show Flavorphiles," he says, referring to a podcast and radio show that he launched in 2025 with radio personality (and his father) Jerry Agar, "where food, drinks, culture and lifestyle collide." It currently airs on several iHeart radio stations in Canada and is growing to more markets, he says.
