Dallas’ coming-soon Cafe Momentum restaurant to be featured on ‘Rachael Ray’ this week

Dallas' Chad Houser chats with Rachael Ray on her talk show. See it Thursday.

Turn your TVs to KTXA-TV (Channel 21) on Thursday, when Dallas chef Chad Houser will gab with Rachael Ray about his new restaurant coming to downtown Dallas.

Houser is executive director of Cafe Momentum, a nonprofit that gives jobs to juvenile offenders. (Or, as Houser puts it: “I take kids out of jail and teach them to play with knives and fire.”)

Cafe Momentum once operated as a pop-up restaurant, but come December, it will have its own brick-and-mortar location that will double as a classroom for students. Besides learning life skills such as cooking, dish washing and serving, the interns at Cafe Momentum will also have a place to take classes — to learn about anger management or hygiene, for instance.

Houser’s chat with Ray is called “Meet a Chef Who is Using Food to Change Lives,” according to a press release, and airs at 10 a.m. Thursday on The Rachael Ray Show.  Actor Tom Selleck makes an appearance, too, apparently. You’ll have to see that to believe it.
