BUSINESS BUZZ

The lowdown on what’s up with neighborhood businesses

Hotel in The Canyon

Construction began recently on the first piece of a 200-acre development at Interstate 30 and Westmoreland. A four-story, 103-room Residence Inn by Marriott Hotels & Resorts is planned for The Canyon in Oak Cliff, a massive residential/office/ retail development adjacent to Pinnacle Park. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the project took place in May 2013. Since then, the project has been delayed several times. The project’s developers plan as many as 7,500 apartments, 1,000 hotel rooms, 1.2 million square feet of office space and 800,000 square feet of shops and restaurants.

New restaurant a family affair

A mother/son entrepreneurial team opened a new restaurant on West Jefferson at Polk, which has been the site of several restaurants in the past few years, most recently Los Herrera cafe. JED’s Grill offers classic American food with a modern twist, says Estela Gallegos, who owns the restaurant with her son, Johnathan Korens. The restaurant’s name comes from the first initials of the owners’ first names — Johnathan, Estela and her husband, Danny Gallegos, a Dallas Police Department lieutenant, who for years worked the beat that included this space. Estela has a couple of decades in the restaurant business, including 10 years at IHOP; Johnathan has worked in the restaurant business since he was 15. JED’s is open 8 a.m.-9 p.m. serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Not your typical mall food

The owners of Smoke and Bolsa opened their newest restaurant, The Theodore, at NorthPark Center. Tim Byres, Chris Jeffers and Chris Zielke and their company, Turn the Tables Hospitality, took the space between Nordstrom and Macy’s for their new concept, inspired by macho U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. They pulled bartender Kyle Hilla from Bolsa, and he created a menu of cocktails named after national parks. The food menu offers updated takes on classic American food. It also has an in-house bakery to provide freshbaked bread to the restaurant as well as breakfast pastries for NorthPark shoppers.

Korean chicken

Bbbop Seoul Kitchen, the fast-casual Korean food concept from Steve Shin and Sandra and Greg Bussey, opened its newest location at 828 W. Davis in December.

This is the third Bbbop and the biggest. It has a large outdoor patio in back with a bocce ball court, and in front, there’s a to-go window for fried chicken. The partners also are making the West Davis shop its “R&D” kitchen; they will test new items on an R&D menu that will change frequently. If an item goes over well in Oak Cliff, it could find its way onto the menus of the other locations, on Lower Greenville and Upper Greenville. This is a family business. Steve Shin and Sandra Bussey are brother and sister, and Greg Bussey is Sandra’s husband. “Greg and I live in Oak Cliff and have been eyeing this building for a long time,” Sandra Bussey says. “We felt there was an opportunity for more ethnic food but also affordable dining in our neighborhood.”

Steve and Sandra were raised in Dallas by Korean parents and inspired by a trip to South Korea in 2001. They describe Bbbop as “Korean comfort food with a modern twist, a Korean-American eating experience.”

The event has grown every year and now is so popular that the $95 admission tickets sell out in minutes. This year’s event at Trinity Groves raised about $150,000.(Photo by Jeff Amador)
