Tiffany Derry opened up Roots Southern Table in Farmers Branch in 2021, and accolades followed, including two James Beard nominations the following year for both Best Chef in Texas and Best New Restaurant. Not content to sit on their laurels, co-owners Derry and Tom Foley decided to branch out a bit (albeit in the same shopping center in Farmers Branch) with Radici Wood Fired Grill, an Italian restaurant that offers traditional dishes with a modern twist using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, all enhanced by open wood-fired cooking.
While Roots Southern Table pays homage to Derry’s upbringing and culinary influences in the South, Radici draws inspiration from Foley’s familial heritage and Derry’s early work in Italian restaurants as well as their travels throughout the many regions of Italy. Radici, in a display of clever and consistent nomenclature, means roots in Italian, so it's a fitting name for their newest effort to bring comfortable fine dining with a twist to North Texas.
