There is something special happening in Oak Cliff. Besides the revival of a sleepy neighborhood into a highly trafficked area, the culinary uprising has picked up pace. A staple to the neighborhood, Oddfellows, just nabbed a hot new chef and has since reinvented it’s dinner menu. Chef Anastacia Quiñones, formerly of KitchenLTO and Komali, breathes new life and excitement into an already popular brunch and dinner spot in Bishop Arts. They add their details and anticipation in a newly released statement:
“The menu stays true to the concept’s motto of “Food for All,” both in the variety of the offering and in price. Nothing on the menu is over $20, keeping a top quality culinary experience approachable for guests. Chef Anastacia Quiñones, formerly of KitchenLTO and Komali, breathes new life and excitement into an already popular brunch and dinner spot in Bishop Arts.
Favorites on the dinner menu are a house made Black Pepper Fettuccini, a hearty Truffled Chicken Pot Pie, and a delicious Chicken Farro Risotto which gets its rich flavor from a coffee-rubbed cheese from local cheese monger Pachi Pachi. In a nod to Oddfellows’ best known beverage- coffee- Quiñones created an Arabica Crusted Steak, which is served on refried lentils and topped with a salad of kale, pomegranate, and pecan.
The menu includes fare appropriate for Texas’ Fall temperatures, including Mussels and Frites, a Seared Salmon dish, Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs, and Crab Sliders. The Spiced Tres Leches and the Cuvèe Coffee Panna Cotta rival for first place on the dessert menu.
Quiñones, or “AQ,” as she is best known, joined Oddfellows in July 2016 when Amy Cowan, Jason Roberts, and Amanda Pounds procured the interest of their fellow partners, including former chef and visionary Matt Spillers. AQ has been a breath of fresh air for the concept, which will celebrate 6 years in December.”
I for one can’t wait to dine with the newest additions to the menu and revisit a classic neighborhood staple. Hope they still have the famous frozé!
