“Everybody loves a comeback story,” says the chairman and CEO — a Dallasite.
for iconic Dallas chain Steak and Ale for nearly a decade. Plans are finally in place to bring the family-friendly prime rib restaurant back to Dallas-Fort Worth.
New Steak and Ale restaurants in Minnesota, Texas and beyond will have a red, white and black color scheme. Chairman and CEO Paul Mangiamele, who purchased the legendary brand in 2015 with the plan to bring it back, describes the restaurants that will eventually open as "old-school" and "comfortable."
Mangiamele has ambitions to grow Steak and Ale globally and in tandem with Bennigan’s. Both restaurants closed abruptly in 2008 following a “spectacular collapse” that sent them to Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation seven years prior,He’s already started a take-out business for Bennigan’s called Bennigan’s On The Fly, which is now delivering from Richardson and Grapevine. Next comes a careful but steady set of Steak and Ales.
A 'Dallas Morning News' story from July 16, 1967 — the year after the original Steak and Ale opened — tells the story of Norman Brinker, former U.S. Olympic horseman turned restaurateur. And: “Well, if I don’t bring the salad bar back, I’m going to be tarred and feathered right away,” he says. House-made soups like classic French onion, lobster bisque, and beef barley will return.He plans to call the herb-crusted prime rib the Norman’s Cut. “I want to pay respect to the individual who was responsible for opening this in Dallas, on Oak Lawn and Lemmon so many years ago. We’ll have special cuts and we’ll have some fun with ribeyes,” Mangiamele says.
Hundreds of restaurant workers in D-FW lost their jobs immediately following the Chapter 7 filing. “Instead of going Chapter 11 and letting everybody reorganize, they just disappeared,” Mangiamele says. “As an operator and somebody who loves this business, I take this as an egregious offense.”
