OLD Eats DO NOT USE

Chef Richard Calhoun, who used to be at the Samba Room, heads the kitchen at the new Ounce Prime Steakhouse at 14866 Montfort Dr. in Addison. The restaurant's grand opening is a Dec. 12 benefit event for UNICEF, with UNICEF chair Carolyn Farb of Houston expected to attend, along with noted Austin vegetarian/humorist/musician/sometime politico Kinky Friedman, and Addison Mayor Joe Chow -- who with that surname really needs to be at every restaurant opening in Addison.

Over in Rockwall, the Hilton Bella Harbor's Mistra restaurant has hired chef Steven Weir away from the Belo Mansion, HQ of the Dallas Bar Association. Haven't heard of this hotel on Lake Ray Hubbard? That's because it's not open yet. Mistra is scheduled to debut in spring 2008.
