As reported online last month by this very magazine and this very writer<\/a>, a new restaurant has opened in the much-watched South Main space previously occupied by Tre Mogli. Brooklyn\u2019s is an American fusion spot from first-time restaurant owner Brandi Bohn, a 33-year-old West Texas native who has spent several years in the hospitality and fine-dining industry, most recently as the bar captain at Quince, the global-cuisine restaurant on the Trinity River. Bohn says the restaurant is named after her favorite food neighborhood and her favorite 8-year-old daughter. The menu, Bohn says, is intentionally wildly diverse and is meant to capture the melting pot of the city it\u2019s named after. She\u2019s putting good use to Tre Mogli\u2019s pizza oven, using it for naan bread-based pies topped with beef bulgogi and blackened chicken b\u00e9chamel. Other dishes that mix and match flavors and styles include a 14-ounce rib-eye finished with a hoisin glaze; quesadillas filled with chicken teriyaki; and orange lemongrass shrimp scampi.\u00a0401 S.

The Chumley House, Duro Hospitality\u2019s European-inspired steakhouse in the Cultural District, is channeling London tradition with a new Sunday night dining experience called Proper Sunday Roast for Two. As its name implies, the meal is designed for two and centers on a 36-hour slow-cooked prime short rib with a shareable Yorkshire pudding. Sides include crispy marble potatoes with caramelized onion-herb butter, harissa-glazed carrots, and mushroom Madeira gravy. It\u2019s served Sundays, 4:30\u20139:30 p.m., and costs $150 for two.\u00a03230 Camp Bowie Blvd.,\u00a0thechumleyhouse.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Good news for fans of La Rueda, the acclaimed East Side Mexican breakfast and lunch spot housed in a beautiful ranch home built in 1925. According to a widely shared post on the restaurant\u2019s Facebook page, they\u2019ve expanded their hours to include dinner once again, a hark back to when owner Javier Villagomez originally opened the restaurant in 2012. Everything I\u2019ve had at La Rueda has been exceptional, from the French toast topped with so much fresh fruit, you can barely see the toast, to the generously portioned fajitas to the plate-engulfing chile rellenos, which my relleno-loving wife swears. Dishes are always nicely presented, too, going against the grain of other modestly priced Tex-Mex spots. It\u2019s one of my favorite restaurants in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Restaurateurs sure do love that tiny 1935 building on Magnolia Avenue across the street from King Tut\u2019s old digs. Not long after Vice Burger vacated it last year (one of several food-related occupants over the years), a new place moved in: Sweet Stacks. The menu is Asian-inspired, with items such as eggrolls, potstickers, and edamame. Their signature dish: Japanese pancakes, which have a fluffy, souffle-like texture. Similar to previous tenants, it\u2019s to-go mostly, although there are a few barstools inside and an outdoor patio. According to\u00a0CultureMap, Sweet Stacks is a spinoff of Sweet Rice, a mini-chain of Asian restaurants with locations throughout Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
