Stephan Pyles's culinary star rose early and continues to shine. The restaurants he founded - including Routh Street Cafe, Baby Routh, Star Canyon, Goodfellow's and Tejas - have lit up Dallas, Las Vegas and Minneapolis.
Dubbed the father of Southwestern Cuisine, he dazzled on the Emmy award-winning PBS series New Tastes from Texas, and shared secrets in four popular cookbooks.
A shower of awards adds to the glow, including the inaugural James Beard award for Best Chef in America: Southwest, and the AAA 5 Diamond Award. He was the first Texan inducted into Who's Who of Food and Wine in America.
After selling his restaurants in the late 90's, Pyles took time off traveling and researching and consulting for select hotels and corporations such as American Airlines, Splenda, Hotel ZaZa and the Gaylord Texan.
Chef Pyles is now working on his most ambitious project ever, an architecturally significant restaurant serving New Millennium Southwestern Cuisine, opening this fall in Dallas. |
