    Three Unforgettable Nights of Texan-Italian-French Fusion May 21–23 Prepare your palate for a one-of-a-kind culinary collaboration where Texas soul meets French finesse and Italian heart. Cowboy Chef Newton (MasterChef USA), Chef Anthony Bar (Vanderpump Villa, Executive Chef), and Chef Dominic DeAngelis (Vanderpump Villa, Content Creator turned Chef) are joining forces for a culinary trilogy at Newton’s Saddlerack. This trio will serve up two extraordinary dinners followed by a casual, chef-led meet & greet. PRIVATE DINNER NIGHT 1: “Lone Star Elegance” Wednesday, May 21 | 6:30 PM A refined menu marrying bold Texas flavors with French precision. Amuse-Bouche: Mini Gougère with Jalapeño Ricotta & Honey-Smoked Tomato Jam Appetizer: Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio on French Baguette with Truffle Aioli Main Course: Texas-Braised Short Rib with Ancho-Chili Red Wine Glaze OR Pan-Seared Snapper with Saffron-Chili Risotto & Charred Leek Pistou (pre-reservation only) Dessert: Smoked Salt & Caramel Mille-Feuille with Bourbon-Glazed Pecans & Espresso Mascarpone MEET THE CHEFS COWBOY CHEF NEWTON Texas born and bred, Cowboy Chef Newton (aka “Newton” from MasterChef Seasons 8 & 12 and Supermarket Stakeout) is known for transforming classic Texas chow into elevated Texas Cowboy Cuisine. A true Renaissance cowboy, Newton brings decades of experience in both front-of-house fine dining and ranch-style cooking. From The Mansion at Turtle Creek to the #uglykitchen at The Double N Ranch, his flavor philosophy is grounded in passion, heart, and community. Now cooking at Newton’s Saddlerack in Stephenville, he’s also a dedicated mentor and philanthropist, raising over $1 million for charity since his time on MasterChef. "Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise." – Bo Newton CHEF ANTHONY BAR Born in Armentières, France, Chef Anthony Bar blends French tradition with bold modern flavors. As Executive Chef on Vanderpump Villa (Hulu), his culinary approach is elegant, heartfelt, and always unforgettable. His refined style reflects his European roots and global experience. CHEF DOMINIC DEANGELIS Originally from Kansas City, Dominic found his voice first as a content creator and later as a culinary artist. After launching his Miami-based private dinner company, Dolce Mani, he studied culinary arts in Japan, and it was here he found he'd been selected as the Sous Chef for Vanderpump Villa Season 2. Here he met and co-founded The French Italian Table with Chef Anthony. His passion, creativity, and hunger to grow continue to fuel his journey. Experience the magic of Haute Texas Cuisine—a rich fusion of French-Italian sophistication and down-home Texas soul. ***Please Note: The Saddlerack Bar will open at 4 pm should you wish to come early to visit and enjoy cocktails before your dining experience. Dinner service will start at 6:30.

    The food was excellent, the staff was helpful and gracious even offering a blanket when one of our party was cold. The building is nostalgic and fun. It would have been 5 stars across the board but they seemed short staffed for a Mother’s Day Brunch.

    The chicken fried sirloin is gigantic! Easily big enough to split between 2 people when it’s 16+ oz. It was so soft and easy to cut I didn’t even need a knife! 12/10 stars!

    Our visit to Newton's Saddlerack could not have been better. Food and service were exceptional. There was confusion about the number eating (on our end) and Melanie was so gracious in her efforts to accommodate us. We loved our Easter Brunch.

    Everything we ate was phenomenal! You have to try the Chicken Fried Sirloin, and definitely add a side of the lobster macaroni and cheese!

    Took my wife on date night here. We had never been before, and i suprised her with this little gem. She loved it. It fit the stephenville cowboy ambiance very well. We really enjoyed our waitress, and getting to meet/chat with the owner a bit. The food is top notch. The one thing is I wish i had just a bit more of that jalapeno gravy for the gigantic chicken fried steak. We will definitely be back.
