2021 Dallas-Fort Worth Rising Stars

Rising Stars Restaurant Week

Thursday, December 2 — Thursday, December 16

We're finally back in DFW to celebrate the metroplex's most talented up-and-coming food and beverage professionals. After meeting with nearly 100 young chefs, pastry chefs, bartenders, sommeliers, and artisans across North Texas, we are excited to announce our newest class of Dallas-Fort Worth Rising Stars. The 2021 class includes 17 Rising Stars, recognized by StarChefs for their culinary strengths, charitable contributions to DFW, and their ability to navigate, lead, and inspire.

Rising Stars Restaurant Week is a two-week promotion showcasing the 2021 Dallas-Fort Worth Rising Stars restaurants, dishes, pastries, wine pairings, and cocktails that best represents the future of American dining.
