Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen from Dallas chef Kent Rathbun to open Monday February 23

By Pegasus News wire

DALLAS — With restaurant powerhouses Abacus and Jasper’s on his resume, chef Kent Rathbun has announced the opening of a new culinary destination to further enhance the Dallas area dining scene. Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen, set to open on Monday, February 23, is sure to become the Mecca of casual, affordable cuisine.

"After exploring several concept ideas over the years, I decided that Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen would best compliment my existing restaurants by adding a whole new dimension to the food I prepare for my guests," said Executive Chef and Partner Kent Rathbun. "Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen is a reflection of the kinds of dishes I enjoy cooking for my family at home as well as dishes I remember eating growing up, so it is very exciting for me to finally have a new conduit in food preparation and service."

Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen relies heavily on the freshest, regionally-grown wine and produce from local purveyors. This commitment to the “roots” of cooking is reflected in an array of innovative dishes such as the Whole Wheat Texas Pecan Waffle with Lattie Da Goat Cheese and Round Rock Honey. Rathbun also puts a sophisticated spin on classic southern cooking with the Pan Fried Pork Chop with Sawmill Mustard Gravy and MawMaw’s Buttermilk Pie with Raspberry Jam. Whether it’s a field green salad or Chicken Fried Texas Quail with Heirloom Corn-Chipotle Spoonbread, the creative menu selections showcase the best quality ingredients from local growers and the influence of generations of Rathbun family traditions.

Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen is located at 6130 Luther Lane in Dallas. To make a reservation, call 214-890-1103 and for more information about Kent Rathbun, Abacus, Jasper’s and Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen, please visit his website at www.kentrathbun.com.

Any sense of the pricing? (I heard the word "affordable" used in the ramp up to the opening of Jasper's, so I don't want to assume too much.)
