The new Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Uptown menu will feature full-flavored, chef-driven cuisine curated by Executive Chef Tony Schwappach and Regional Chef David Holben.

I am proud of the fact that the majority of my team has been with Del Frisco’s as long as I have been with the company and 95 percent of the staff from the Spring Valley location has moved with us to Uptown.”

Chef Schwappach will be making some additions to the appetizer menu by offering locally sources ingredients such as 44 Farms Brisket Tacos with Horseradish-Pecan Cheddar from Brazos Valley Cheese and ecologically sustainable Siberian Sturgeon Caviar from Dallas’ Rochon Premium Brands.
