"Rise & Thyme, the first Texas restaurant by chef and Chopped judge Amanda Freitag, will open this Friday, September 18 in Downtown Dallas. The restaurant will serve American bistro-style food, including pastas, patty melts, and other sandwiches, alongside breakfast pastries and baked goods from local shops like La Casita and Village Baking Co. In addition to dine-in and takeout, the Discovery District offers plenty of space for outdoor seating in a park-like environment." - Brittanie Shey
