    Fiscus Does Napa

    French Laundry fête gets Lone Star treatment courtesy of Dallas' premier party planner

    When Thomas Keller needed a party planner for the 20th anniversary celebration of his famed French Laundry in Yountville, California, he turned to the one person who could pull off a momentous outdoor dinner party: Todd Fiscus of Dallas-based Todd Events. Fiscus took the task to heart, orchestrating a street fair-style event worthy of the renowned Napa Valley restaurant.

     

    Guests got the party started with caviar and champagne served from sleek, ice-carved X's near the bar, where mixologists were shaking up fresh custom cocktails. Other hot menu items included crudité from Keller's famous garden served from chrome wheelbarrows and charcuterie on custom wood tables.

     

    As for decor, Fiscus played off the naturally breathtaking scenery. He wowed partygoers with his signature lush floral arrangements and impressive 20-foot custom olive trees. For a personal touch, Keller was surprised with a congratulatory video featuring guest appearances by Charlie Rose, chef Daniel Boulud and Adam Sandler.

     

    Keller is no stranger to boldface names in his restaurant, but this crowd was extra special, including Francis Ford Coppola and Nancy and Paul Pelosi. And Fiscus wasn't the only one representing Texas; Cindy and Howard Rachofsky, Meghan Looney, Suzanne and David Droese, Marcia Backus, Mike Hood, and Ceron also made the trek west.

     

    "Listening to Chef Keller lead this team of over 150 of the top chefs and service team members in the world was a masters education in leadership and motivation and humility," Fiscus said. "It was an honor to do and an honor to be present."

     

    This is not the last of Fiscus' high-profile parties this year. He is poised to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his namesake firm with a series of parties in September and October. He will also design Two x Two for AIDS and Art in Dallas in October, the 50th anniversary of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles in December, and the upcoming nuptials of Lauren Scruggs and Jason Kennedy.

    Dallas TikTok star Keith Lee crafts matcha drink for flood relief

    Keith Lee hoists his special matcha drink.

    The devastating floods that swept across Central Texas on July 4 are bringing out all kinds of charitable endeavors — and that includes a limited-edition beverage from Dallas' favorite TikTok food influencer Keith Lee.

    Lee, a social media sensation whose online food reviews have benefited hundreds of small restaurants, is partnering with Dallas-based La La Land Cafe on a special drink: Called the La La Land X Keith Lee Latte, it's a matcha drink in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards Kerr County flood relief.

    La La Land is the coffee chain founded in Dallas in 2019 with a mission to provide opportunities for fostering youth and individuals in need. It now has 10 locations across Dallas-Fort Worth, plus three in Houston and six in Southern California.

    The new Keith Lee Latte will consist of double ceremonial matcha, with secret syrup, matcha cloud, a whole fresh strawberry, flaky salt, and matcha powder. (Lee can be seen enjoying the beverage in this video.)

    Matcha is the Japanese green tea powder that has experienced a surge in popularity, appearing in everything from drinks like the matcha latte to desserts like matcha mousse.

    Lee, who relocated to Dallas in 2024, has been on a matcha kick ever since he tried it in Chicago, which he says "led me down a rabbit hole," and it has become his trademark drink. In May, he visited seven cafes across DFW in search of the perfect matcha in town, and that included La La Land, where he ordered a matcha with almond milk.

    He also has a charitable history, including a special visit he made to Taste Project in Fort Worth to donate $4,000 to support the nonprofit's mission to fight food insecurity.

    The Keith Lee Latte will be available at all La La Land cafes beginning Friday July 11, for a limited time only. From July 11-27, 100 percent of all proceeds will support flood relief efforts in Kerr County - "a community in our home state that’s hurting," La La Land Cafe says.
