Seasons 52 Coming to Plano  Ryan Fletcher will serve as
executive chef for Texas' first Seasons 52, the upscale grill
from Darden Restaurants that promotes itself as a "change"
rather than chain restaurant.  Fletcher, who spent three years
managing kitchens for the Grand Lux Café, previously cheffed for
The Cheesecake Factory.  "His expertise will prove invaluable,"
culinary director Clifford Peau enthuses in a release announcing
the appointment.  Seasons 52 has reportedly endeared itself to
serious food lovers who'd typically shun corporate eateries, but
the changing menu showcasing seasonal vegetables hasn't won over
every critic. In reviewing the first location outside of
Florida, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution took issue with the
restaurant's low-cal spa cuisine. "I would love to have a Mellow
Mushroom with bacon and cheese delivered to the table," Meridith
Ford wrote in her two-star summary.  Seasons 52 is scheduled to
open in Plano's The Shops at Legacy on October 4.  My Voice
