Dallas knows its way around a good steak. But Dee Lincoln, the “Queen of Steaks,” is the embodiment of the feminine steakhouse in North Texas.
After entering the restaurant industry in New Orleans, Lincoln co-founded Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in Dallas. In 2009, she left to launch the Dee Lincoln brand. The pilot concept was the first-ever wine and Champagne lounge to debut inside a sports arena: Dee Lincoln’s Bubble Bar on the Silver Suite Level at AT&T Stadium is a refined lounge for refined palates.
Dee Lincoln Prime, a steakhouse at The Star in Frisco, opened in late 2017 and is known for its exclusive selection of prime steaks, Kobe Beef and Japanese Wagyu. Cuts like the Sanuki beef, which comes from cattle fed a strict diet of roasted caramelized olive pressings from Shodoshima Island, are only found in a select number of restaurants around the country. Dee Lincoln Prime is one of them.
Now, Lincoln is hosting an exclusive, one-night-only six-course culinary event that celebrates the finest pairings of proteins, caviar and Champagne in the steakhouse’s private wine cellar. This masterclass dinner celebrates two exclusive brands, specifically Altima Caviar and Madame Zéro.
Fine Dining Opulence
“This dinner represents everything I love about fine dining — craftsmanship, passion, and celebration,” Lincoln says in a press release about the dinner. “Bringing together Altima Caviar and Madame Zero Champagne for a single evening of elegance and flavor is truly special. It’s not just a meal — it’s an experience meant to be savored and remembered.”
Dinner is on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $1,500 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity.
It seems the ceiling for experience-driven dining is being pushed higher and higher. Dallas proper has many high-end wine dinners, but we’ve yet to see something of this caliber. There’s a very real cost barrier for most people to even consider this experience, but is it something we should be excited for?
About Madame Zéro: 1 of 1K Bottles
Founded in 2021, Madame Zéro is a relative newcomer to the industry. However, it stands out because it does many things differently from other producers.
Founder Matthew Massey is a Galveston native who’s been in the wine world since high school. He created his own Champagne brand based on transparency, including nutrition, aging, terroir, grape varietal, vine age and dosage, which isn’t common in that sector of the vino world.
In the official Champagne region of France, 319 villages grow different varietals of grapes. Many large producers blend from up to 100 varietals across the region, but Madame Zero only uses one from the “premier cru” (which means first growth) from the village of Vertus and never adds sugars to the mix.
The low sugar dosage, single-village sourcing and some extended aging have earned it many silver and gold awards at the Sommelier Choice Awards and other international competitions.
For this dinner, the highlight comes in the fifth course with a bottle of 2013 Madame Zéro Grand Vintage “Mille,” of which just 1,000 bottles were ever released.
Luxury Caviar
Maribel Alvarez worked in the caviar business for two decades before launching Altima Caviar in 2022. With this business, she aims to bridge the ethics, transparency, and sustainability of caviar with the demands of modern consumers.
Because of overfishing and habitat destruction, all sturgeon caviar is sourced from certified sustainable farms in Israel, Italy, Spain, Georgia, Bulgaria and France. Altima works specifically with farms that mimic the sturgeon’s natural habitats, have ecological purity and are led by passionate entrepreneurs and aquaculture experts.
The Menu
The dinner is divided into six courses, each designed to highlight a variety of caviar, premium proteins and exceptional Champagnes.
