Revolving Kitchen

A virtual food hall and ghost kitchen is opening in Fairview: Called Revolving Kitchen Fairview, it'll open in Fairview Town Center, at 146 Town Pl., in what used to be a clothing store. According to a release, it'll open on October 22.

This is the long-awaited spinoff of the original Revolving Kitchen, a commissary kitchen founded by entrepreneur Tyler Shin in Garland in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, when food halls and digital kitchens surged as a way for diners to still get restaurant food without having to dine in a restaurant. They also help food entrepreneurs launch a business without having to invest in a brick and mortar space.

To make it seamless, Shin created a virtual food hall app that allows customers to order a variety of dishes from multiple restaurants and pay a single delivery fee.

Fairview has been designed as a community-driven space featuring 34 commercial kitchen rentals and business amenities, including two conference rooms, a coworking space and kitchenette, and expansive kitchen storage space.

Kitchen spaces range from 260 to 1,100 square-feet, featuring more than 20 dining concepts that can be ordered for takeout or delivery.

The cuisine ranges from bagels to pizza to vegan eats, as follows:

Brooklyn Bagels: Classic New York-style bagel with cream cheese or a hearty bagel sandwich
Chanko Nutrition: Nutritious and flavorful farm to table meals, ideal for those focused on fitness and well-being
Chitos Authentic Mexican Restaurant: Family owned and operated with authentic Tex-Mex menu
Dolce Mio: Features locally curated ingredients from a Dallas-born chef with an Italian twist
Emmy J’s Pizza: Freshly made pies
Fish Trap’n: Crispy fried fish to seafood platters
Fu Xing Kitchen: Authentic Chinese cuisine
Kaiyo: Offering nigiri, rolls, and classic Japanese kitchen dishes
K-Cup: Korean comfort food with offerings like Korean fried chicken and BBQ
La Maison Bleue: Sip on teas and indulge in desserts and savory snacks
Pono Poke: Hawaiian poke and Japanese comforts – sandwiches, soba, and udon
7Spice Halal Indian and Pakistani Kitchen: Indian and Pakistani halal cuisine using their signature seven spice blend
Street Thaiger: Authentic Thai street food
Tayta Peruvian Restaurant: Authentic Peruvian flavors
Vegan Heat: Vegan dishes that pack a flavorful punch

There will be a grand opening celebration on opening day featuring a ribbon cutting at 11:45 am and complimentary food and drink samples from 11:30 am-1:30 pm.

“Revolving Kitchen Fairview is more than a dining space— it’s a launchpad for culinary innovation and entrepreneurship,” says Fairview Economic Development Corporation Manager Dave Quinn in a statement. “We are excited to see how this venue will inspire our local talent and attract food lovers from across the region.”

Italian brand Lavazza Coffee opens training facility in Dallas

Lavazza Coffee

A coffee brand from Italy has planted a stake in Dallas: Lavazza, founded in the northern Italian city of Turin in 1895, has opened a state-of-the-art training center in Dallas, at 1722 Routh St. #960, where it will serve as a hub for coffee enthusiasts throughout the Southwest.

Dallas is the newest outlet in Lavazza's coffee training network, joining locations in New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, West Chester Pennsylvania, and Toronto — part of their expansion across high-growth markets in the U.S., and its mission to elevate coffee culture globally. (They're also doling out endorsement dollars in commercials featuring Steve Carell and John Krasinski.)

The facility is equipped with espresso, brewing, and coffee innovation equipment, and will serve Lavazza partners, industry professionals, baristas, and distributors. They'll offer hands-on training, SCA certification, menu development, and emerging coffee trends.

Lavazza already partners with many respected hospitality groups and culinary destinations in Dallas including Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, Coury Hospitality Group, Al Biernat's Steakhouse, and Vandelay Hospitality.

In October 2025, Lavazza also began serving coffee on flights by Fort Worth-based American Airlines — further strengthening their connection to the North Texas market. The facility will enable Lavazza to provide closer, more consistent support to these partners and help elevate their coffee programs through continued training and collaboration.

Lavazza has been owned by the Lavazza family for four generations. Today they're one of the leading players on the global coffee scene, with a portfolio of top brands that lead their respective markets, such as Lavazza, Carte Noire, Merrild, and Kicking Horse.

In a statement, Lavazza North America president Hossam Ashraf says that "Dallas has an incredible energy and an ever evolving coffee scene," while Lavazza North America Marketing VP Daniele Foti says that Dallas is great, and we must concur.

"As one of the fastest growing hospitality and culinary markets in the country, Dallas represents a tremendous opportunity for Lavazza," Foti says. "Our investment in this new Training Center demonstrates our commitment to the region and to the partners who bring the Lavazza experience to life every day. Dallas is a city of innovation and high standards, and we are excited to deepen our roots here."
