Blaine Staniford says Grace in Fort Worth

Blaine Staniford.jpgYes, a Dallas chef is heading to Cowtown. Blaine Staniford, ex of Tex-Asian spot Fuse and the recently defunct Scene, will be the executive chef at Grace in Fort Worth. The restaurant, which will serve "Modern American classic fare," is the brainchild of Adam Jones, who left Del Frisco's in 2006 to helm the project.

Jones said in a phone interview that he'd been interviewing chefs for a while. Staniford recently borrowed friend Scott Gottlich's kitchen at Bijoux and cooked Jones a six-course lunch there -- it landed him the job.

Jones aims to open Grace by the end of October, if all goes according to construction plans.

That's a shame. We need all the inventive chefs we can get in Dallas. I thought Blaine owned Fuse, so surprised to hear he is gone. Guess I was wrong.

Anyway, I think he is a talented guy and I liked Scene's food, despite the tough DMN review. Hope he returns.

It's about time we have some of the better-known chefs arrive in Fort Worth. Why should Dallas have all the talent? Glad to hear there will be another option for upscale dining in FTW.
