Somewhere between family cookouts with his mother’s family and raising and cooking turtles and rabbits with his father’s, the diverse ethnic food scene in Dallas filled in the gaps of Duplechan’s early passion for food, eventually leading him to open Lenoir with his wife Jessica Maher in 2012. Duplechan has collaborated on multiple other projects in and around Texas, including Vixen's Wedding, The Switch, and Youngblood's Fried Chicken. When not at work, Duplechan spends his time with his boys, Remy and Hollis, fixing trucks, fishing, and cooking lots of delicious food. You can follow Lenoir @lenioratx Lenoir  |  1807 South First Street  |  www.LenoirRestaurant.com  Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph is the Pastry Chef and Partner at Emmer & Rye, Hestia, Kalimotxo, Henbit, and TLV in Austin, TX.
