Four Sisters Cafe

At an early preview of his Four Sisters Cafe, in Richardson, owner Dale Wamstad allowed that his new upscale casual concept in Richardson will open “probably sometime next week.” Four Sisters takes its name from a diptych that hangs over the fireplace in the center of the restaurant. The paintings are said to depict Wamtad (in drag), sided by four “old media” female restaurant critics who influenced the restaurant scene in Dallas.

Wamstad founded the Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse concept in New Orleans in the late 80s then teamed with Dee Lincoln to expand the concept in Dallas.

Though the menu hasn’t been finalized, here’s what Wamstad and managing partner Robert Brown have planned.
