Words to live by at Legacy Hall | All photography by Cori Baker UPDATE: Legacy Hall just announced that their grand opening has been pushed back and that they will no longer be hosting Fall for the Hall, the block party we were all so exited about.

Legacy Hall boasts 20 food stalls, a beer garden and Plano’s first brewery. One stall, however, stands apart. Literally; it’s the only stall on the second floor of the hall.

We’ve got some sad news. Dean & DeLuca, the gourmet grocery store will not be opening in Legacy West after all. Internationally celebrated as a “purveyor of fine food,” Dean & Deluca began in 1977 in SoHo.

It’s finally happening! Celebrity Chef John Tesar, a four-time James Beard nominated chef, and a two-time contestant on Bravo’s Top Chef , will open Knife at Willow Bend in early 2018. There, Tesar will do what Tesar does best: yell. Just kidding.

This recipe for Chicken Carbonara by famed chef and cookbook author Giada De Laurentiis is from the Pasta Potluck episode of her Everyday Italian series on the Food Network. If you prefer, you can roast your own chicken at home for this dish.
