Acclaimed Austin restaurant Hestia<\/strong> is bringing its live fire cooking to a collaborative dinner at Dallas’ esteemed French restaurant Mamani<\/strong> this August. The one-night-only event comes on the heels of the two restaurants’ upcoming dinner in Austin that is part of Hestia’s annual Lone Star Dinner Series.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The “Mamani and Friends: Mamani x Hestia Dinner” will take place Tuesday, August 4 at Mamani in Uptown Dallas. The menu for the eight-course event is still under wraps, but it’s safe to say that the live fire cooking will be the spotlight. <\/p>\n

A press release says a grill will be placed outdoors in front of Mamani, where Hestia’s team will prepare its Michelin-worthy dishes. Mamani Wine Director Josh Ponthieux will create optional wine pairings for the experience.<\/p>\n

Three of Hestia’s top chefs \u2014 Kevin Fink, Paul Wensel, and Tavel Bristol-Joseph \u2014 will be in attendance, alongside Mamani’s executive chef and partner Christophe De Lellis. Both Fink<\/a> and Bristol-Joseph<\/a> are James Beard Award finalists, establishing the chefs as culinary icons in their own right.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was cool to bring to Mamani another Texas Michelin restaurant with a very different approach than ours,” De Lellis said in a statement. “We couldn\u2019t be more excited to welcome Hestia\u2019s team and do something really special for our community here in Dallas.”<\/p>\n

De Lellis will travel to Austin to cook with Fink for Hestia’s Lone Star Dinner Series two weeks before the Dallas dinner takes place. The Austin series began its current season<\/a> on June 16 with Tatem\u00f3, a Houston restaurant that builds the majority of its menu on masa. The Mamani dinner will be held July 21 and will be followed by a dinner with Austin’s Michelin-rated InterStellar BBQ on August 25. <\/p>\n

CultureMap was in attendance for the June 16 12-course kickoff, where chefs from both restaurants worked together in the kitchen \u2014 one team in black and the other in white \u2014 to deliver a diverse menu with a light seafood focus and Texas touches. <\/p>\n

Hestia’s dishes included a farmed oyster with refreshing, summery garnishes; a tiny kampachi roll; Texas Wagyu tartare with Thai basil and a fragrant jalape\u00f1o flatbread; and an Italian-inspired, dry-aged Berkshire pork coppa with kosho (fermented citrus and chili paste), radicchio, and marinated Sungolds. Each restaurant contributed one dessert, with Hestia’s elegant corn pavlova serving as a well-balanced finale to the meal.<\/p>\n

If the Hestia x Tatem\u00f3 dinner indicates the exceptional quality that hungry Dallasites can expect from the Mamani x Hestia experience, attendees will surely be in for a memorable evening. <\/p>\n

The Mamani x Hestia dinner will be held on Tuesday, August 4. Only 100 tickets will be sold for the event at $235 per person, plus $135 for optional wine pairings. Reservations open Tuesday, June 23 via OpenTable<\/a>.<\/p>\n
