The Ranch at Las Colinas is Serving Dinner to their Farmers
It’s no secret that we love the Ranch at Las Colinas.
Their menu goes well beyond the typical local/seasonal mantra, sourcing their ingredients from the entire region in a grown-up, modern, farm-to-fork approach to cooking. I called it Modern Regional Cuisine in a story in last month’s Modern Luxury – Dallas magazine.
On Monday, November 15, the Ranch is serving dinner to all their regional farmers, growers, fisherman and purveyors who provide the Ranch with most of their ingredients.
“We want them to experience the end result of their products that they provide to The Ranch,” says Judd Fruia, the GM at the Ranch. “What better timing than Thanksgiving time to honor their small businesses and honest work?”
Before the dinner, these suppliers will be mingling with the restaurant’s diners, offering samples of their products and explaining the value of eating ingredients that don’t arrive from a national wholesaler.

The farms span from the upper Gulf Coast South of Houston to Palacios Texas. Texas farm-raised catfish, striped bass, and redfish. Thanks for the invitation Ranch!
LOVE this place. I’m so gonna be there for this!
I am thrilled to be invited to this dinner to represent Mozzarella Company and can’t wait to meet all the farmers and other local suppliers.
Looking forward to this event!
I love that The Ranch promotes our local farmers and community with only sourcing the freshest products. I’m very much looking forward to this event showcasing the men/women behind the product that is so proudly served at The Ranch. I think it’s a great way to show appreciation for their local vendors. There is something to really be said for a business these days that has a dedication to growing our local economy and only providing the freshest ingredients. I know I won’t miss this event.
Max thanks for your comments. There is a slight correction that needs to be made. The catfish that are served at The Ranch are actually from Texas Catfish Farms out of Hughes Spring Texas. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention of the misconception.
Local fishermen? This place serving three-eyed catfish from the Trinity.
I absolutely love that this place is doing this. At Chefs For Farmers we do this each time at our dinner events and it is such a great way to connect with our local farmers.
