Bethenny Frankel Gives This “Bougie” Dallas Restaurant a 9
Bethenny Frankel was in town last week for who knows what reason and popped out for dinner. Naturally, someone pointed her towards the perfect place: Mister Charles. Honestly, can you imagine recommending anywhere else in Dallas to her?
In a video posted to her TikTok, Frankel calls it “bougie AF” from a corner booth on the light side of the restaurant and proceeded to rate every dish, after calling select dishes on the menu “serious.”
Frankel was a fan of the Ossetra caviar and egg salad on toasted brioche and the grilled cheese with truffled cheddar and prosciutto from the canapes menu. She referred to the corn and truffle beignets with chive creme fraiche from the appetizers section as “a sexual experience.” From the pasta menu, she ordered the truffle scarpinocc, and at that point the restaurant rated a 10 from her. However, she lowered it to 9.25 moments later, saying the ravioli edges were “too al dente.”
Mister Charles’s Chef Brendan Frankel (no relation, although she did note their shared last name) came out to serve the main course, which was the restaurant’s most expensive cut of beef — a Japanese A5 wagyu strip served with truffled potato and grilled maitake mushrooms. The steak is reviewed by Frankel to be “another level” and deserving of an 11.
Frankel also ordered the seared diver scallops with brown butter from the fish menu. The latter further dinged the restaurant’s score for not being crispy on the outside and being served “warm, not blazing hot.” For her, they are only an 8.
In the end, Frankel gave the restaurant a 9.
There’s a little connection beyond their shared last names with Frankel and the chef: she posted in another TikTok from Dallas that she was staying at the Mansion, where he was the chef before joining Mister Charles. Sadly, we did not get a TikTok review of the new chef at the Mansion.
Glad Dallas didn’t let her down.

If Dak Prescott is lost for an extended period of time in 2026, the Dallas Cowboys are what scientists call “hosed.” Unlike in 2022, when the Cowboys’ defense was good enough to hold down the fort in his absence, the current Dallas roster isn’t built to survive a long-term loss of their lead signal-caller. A short-term loss, on the other hand, might be survivable.
Depending how the backup quarterbacks look this summer, the Cowboys may be able to stay afloat without Prescott for a game or two, and Joe Milton and Sam Howell will be given every opportunity to prove themselves in practices. Milton, entering Year 2 in Dallas, has the inside track. The 6-foot-5, 246-pound product of Tennessee comes with an elite physical skillset. If the Cowboys can pick one guy to hit his potential, Milton’s the guy.
Howell, 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, isn’t the physical specimen Milton is, but he comes with 18 career starts under his belt and some ability to read defenses and anticipate throws. Howell’s roughly the same age as Milton but his ceiling isn’t nearly as high, so the onus is likely on him to beat out Milton.
In many ways, the Cowboys offense is a backup quarterback’s dream. Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy may be the best trio in the NFL this year, while Javonte Williams and the running game are one of the most reliable rushing attacks.
The only less-than-ideal part of the Cowboys offense is the pass protection on the edges. Whoever wins the QB2 job will have to be working on a clock because the ball may need to come out fast. Oh yeah, there’s also that pesky defensive situation to work around.
Under Christian Parker, the Dallas defense is expected to be better in 2026 but coming off a historically poor season, massive improvement is unlikely. Based on that, simply driving the bus at quarterback may not be enough to secure victory.
The launch of Dallas’s new “Dallas Go” water billing system has sparked widespread frustration, overwhelming the city’s 311 lines with 35-minute wait times due to confusing account features, unexpected convenience fees, and massive billing errors.
