F!D Luxe’s Christopher Wynn showcased Bolla beautifully this week in his piece describing Chef Bull’s new hot spot inside The Stoneleigh that is taking Dallas by storm. Chef Bull also unveiled a new menu formatting for the illustrious Bolla. Upon hearing this information I felt it my personal duty to dive head first into the menu to do a little investigating.

In addition to piquing my humble attention, the renowned Senior Food Editor of Texas Monthly, Pat Sharpe, also popped in for a surprise lunch visit to see Bolla and Chef Bull in action. No pressure of course. According to Bull “The change was in an effort to create a fully comprehensive Bolla experience as well as draw upon the strengths of wine pairing and coursed menu design–the new format really allows us to present each dish in the perfect light”. 

Streamlining the menu has also enabled Bull to flex his creative muscles even further in terms of adding extra flare to presentation and service. Chef Bull notes, “We have received rave reviews about the new menus. That being said, we will undoubtably see a few more tweaks as we perfect the menu even further–but that is all part of the creative process.” Preview Bolla’s new menus:

For those lucky enough to catch Chef David Bull’s live interview on WFAA’s Good Morning Texas yesterday (instead of  cursing various Dallas traffic jams dotting the city), you are probably whipping up his fabulous Garden Vegetable Risotto as we speak.

For the rest of us, a link to the Good Morning Texas  clip of Amy Vanderoeff’s interview with Chef Bull may be found below (along with the recipe itself on WFAA’s website).

Looks like the word is out on Bolla already–Avery Johnson was spotted last night in the dining room celebrating his birthday with friends.

The Stoneleigh’s new luminescent red THE rests proudly atop the  hotel as a welcome beacon to all of Dallas. Managing Director, John Langston, recently gave a behind the scenes tour of The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa to News 8 WFAA “Why Guy”, Mike Castellucci. Mike’s tour was replete with secret passageways (tucked away in the illustrious Penthouse) as well as an up close and personal look at the original THE sign now showcased next to the Chef’s Table in Bolla. The segment aired for the first time Wednesday evening on the 5pm news.
