April 4, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maidenwell Hotel’s new chef Dallas Tacey has practised his art all over Australia, in Europe, in America and in Thailand; his dream was to open a “Modern Australian Fusion” restaurant in Denmark. But then he met a woman …<\/p>\n

And as his friend lived in the South Burnett, Dallas – who prefers to be known as “Chef D” – found himself exploring the local area. Dropping into the Maidenwell Hotel recently, he asked licensee Gavin Jones if he needed a chef.<\/p>\n

Dallas told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today the dream of the Danish restaurant was on the backburner. His aim now is to see the Maidenwell Hotel filled every night with diners exploring his new menu.<\/p>\n

His specialities include Texas barbecue ribs, twice-cooked pork belly and Thai oysters Rockefeller.<\/p>\n

Dallas, who has been a chef for 24 years, says that cooking to him is not a job; it’s an art.<\/p>\n

“Everything has to be sex on a plate,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gavin – and his customers – are impressed with the meals that Dallas has been turning out since he started work a few days ago.<\/p>\n

“It’s good, real good,” Gavin said. “It’s food that’s never been served like this in Maidenwell. Everyone who has tried it has been over the moon.”<\/p>\n

The hotel now plans to hold regular “culture nights” featuring menus from around the world.<\/p>\n

The first will be held in early May and will highlight Thai food.<\/p>\n

Also planned are Mexican and Japanese nights.<\/p>\n

However, the hotel’s regulars need not fear that the old staples are disappearing.<\/p>\n

“It’s a pub and people expect pub food; so there’ll be pub food plus an added menu,” Dallas said.<\/p>\n

And the Maidenwell Hotel’s popular pizzas will also be staying.<\/p>\n

The Maidenwell Hotel’s kitchen is open from noon-2:00pm for lunch from Wednesday to Sunday; and for dinner from 6:00pm-9:00pm on Wednesdays to Saturdays. At other times, the kitchen will be opened for groups of 10 or more.<\/p>\n
