Speaking of refurbishments, Toby Blakley has been tapped to rejuvenate Tony's Restaurant, the food portion of Tony's Wine Warehouse. "I'm just trying to work out all of the kinks," says Blakley, who is spinning a New American global ligature with things such as lamb in pomegranate demi-glace and tuna tartare with toasted cumin, sweet gherkin guacamole and ginger soy vinaigrette; kind of a spaghetti Western sashimi. And like Tony's, Blakley has a history. He was chef/partner ("I put up 10 grand.") in Dragonfly Bar & Restaurant, the notorious late '90s Greenville Avenue hot spot that collapsed under the weight of cocaine and embezzlement allegations lodged against managing partner Steve Kahn. Dragonfly became Milkbar which became Syn Bar, which burned to the ground last year. In the ensuing years Blakley has taught cooking classes, worked for Houston's and cooked as a private chef for families in Fort Worth and Dallas. "I'm like the Tony Romo of this industry," he says, vowing not to muff his Tony's snap.
