"Nuri Steakhouse, opened by Smoothie King magnate Wan Kim, is a $20 million establishment in Dallas. Chef Mario Hernandez emphasizes using top-quality meats and produce from local sources, focusing on sustainability and ethical sourcing. The menu features unique dishes like a fusion of traditional Korean-style and Western-style steak tartare, utilizing ingredients from local farms like Profound Farms and 44 Farms. The restaurant also offers Heartbrand Reserve Texas Akaushi beef and other premium meats, alongside Korean-inspired dishes like mac and cheese with gochujang and kimchi, and a unique take on New Orleans-style maque choux corn. Nuri Steakhouse is a tribute to Wan Kim's life, incorporating elements from his other ventures, such as the Korean barbecue restaurant Joa Grill. The dessert menu includes items like dobarge layer cake and bananas foster, with a Texas twist." - Courtney E. Smith
