Canary by Gorji among Top 5 Dallas Restaurants Featured in National Trend Report
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- In the current Trending Tables report, a quarterly feature of "Nation’s Restaurant News," Canary by Gorji was named among the top five Dallas restaurants that give diners a "personal touch". According to the publication, which surveys establishments in 10 top food cities across the country, the five restaurants featured have struck a chord with diners and are ones that research and development teams are likely to visit because they’re where the trends start.
Canary By Gorji was lauded not only for Chef Gorji’s front-of-the-house presence but also for his ahead-of-the-curve menu. Trending Tables called his cuisine, "Mediterranean with a bit of Texas in the mix. The food on offer at Canary by Gorji is imaginative, unusual and highly personal, as evidenced by the constant and buzzing presence of chef Mansour Gorji himself."
Gorji says the key to his longevity (the restaurant is 10 years old) is his customers’ embrace of culinary creativity such as his emphasis on using tart and tangy accents to highlight and enhance the natural flavor of food.
SOUR POWER
This culinary philosophy is currently making news across the country. A recent report by "American Public Media Marketplace Podcast" reported on how chefs across the country are tickling diners’ tastebuds with fruits such as limes, lemons and grapefruit as well as greek yogurt and goat cheese.
Dallas diners have already been enjoying this latest trend at Canary. Chef Gorji features dishes reflecting what he calls "Sour Power" such as "Striped Marlin with Grilled Rhubarb," "Seared Cod with Pink Grapefruit and Horseradish," "Goat Cheese Grapefruit Salad" as well as his "Butterfly Dessert with Kefir Cheese" (Trending Tables chose this dessert in its report).
In a recent review, "The Dallas Morning News" critic Leslie Brenner highlighted the use of citrus accents throughout the menu. And food critic Nancy Nichols of Dallas’ city magazine, "D," says his filleted trout, served with white wine and lemon sauce is topped with tart barberries and capers…so clean; so naturally delicious." Nichols also named the celery root salad as one of "The Top Twelve Bites I Put in My Mouth in 2012."
