A quick walk through the restaurant and patio, straight from the people who built it.

Chef / Owner
Scott Hoffner
Owner and chef Scott Hoffner has been in the business more than 30 years and is committed to the Frisco community, where he and his wife are raising their two little Didi's.
He started washing dishes at age 9 in Plano, working the line by his early teens, with a love of cooking fostered by his mother, the original Didi. That passion carried him to Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI, and eventually back home to Texas to open the restaurant that bears her name.
Scott is tapped into Texas, born and raised here, with an extensive history across the state's restaurant scene. He hand-picks his staff to deliver top-notch hospitality and cuisine, and makes sure every guest leaves with a memorable experience.
