Hey, Bud! What kind of restaurant will be in that hotel behind the CVS?

—At breakfast at River Oaks Cafe

We know more about Bricks and Horses, the restaurant in the Bowie House, Auberge Resorts Collection, 3700 Camp Bowie Blvd. near Dickies Arena.

Chef Antonio Votta, a California resort chef lately of the Cowboy Prime kitchen, will serve Texas steaks and chops with a more casual menu at breakfast and lunch.

Of note: Votta will offer house-made breads, a “pie cart” of fruit and meringue pies (chocolate mud pie, too) and silver-dollar biscuits at breakfast with lemon-blackberry jam.

“I would come to the restaurant for the mud pie,” he said.

More coming on Votta and Bricks and Horses; reservations start Dec. 1 at resy.com.

Hey, Bud! I saw the list of Thanksgiving restaurants. Anything different or interesting?

—Family friend who’s had enough cranberry sauce

Hey, Bud! What do you think of the new Japanese place downtown in the Sandman hotel? Curious!

—Charlie, Fort Worth

Musume, the nice Asian restaurant in the new Sandman Hotel downtown, is serving a $35 turkey dinner with its own touch.

The stuffing is Japanese milk bread. The relish is fresh-made ginger/cranberry, and dessert is black-sesame pumpkin pie with miso caramel.

Or dine on Musume’s sushi, ramen, or the Sichuan hot chicken sandwich; reservations at opentable.com.

The entire overview of Thanksgiving restaurants is at star-telegram.com/eats and will be updated. It was in print Wednesday.
