Jeff Harris has landed. He's currently banging out a lunch shift at his new home, Bolsa, the popular farm-to-table restaurant in Oak Cliff. Harris has been homeless since his departure from Redfork Tavern, spending time at home with his new son and keeping quiet about his future plans. The announcement on Bolsa's Facebook page went up at noon.

Bolsa and the soon-to-open Bolsa Mercado are pleased to announce that Jeff Harris (formerly of Craft) has been named Executive Chef of Bolsa and Bolsa Mercado. Joining him on the Bolsa team is Matt Balke (formerly of York Street).

Graham Dodds, who opened Bolsa in 2008 and held the Executive Chef position ever since, announced last week that he has decided to pursue another opportunity.

We've got a call into Harris to see how things are going with his new digs, and will update this post when he returns our call.
