The Heritage Table Is a Southern Farm-to-Table Charmer in Frisco

Fresh off a James Beard nomination for chef Rich Vana, The Heritage Table In Frisco reclaims its title as one of the area's best farm-to-table restaurants.in a century-old house in Frisco’s Old Downtown neighborhood after several years of building clientele from his catering business., we caught up with Vana and were smitten with The Heritage Table’s farm-to-table Southern fare served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The pandemic of 2020 wasn’t kind to many businesses, and Vana’s establishment was no exception. He was forced to shutter The Heritage Table, and in its place opened a pop-up sandwich establishment called “The Impractical Sandwich”. The pop-up allowed Vana to prioritize the safety and welfare of his guests and employees, albeit at the cost of the restaurant.

As restrictions eased in 2021, The Heritage Table reopened but without the breakfast and lunch service. In its new iteration, The Heritage Table serves dinner only while retaining the same hyper-focused attention to locally sourced ingredients that defined the menu.only highlighted our delinquency. In our return visits, we have learned that Vana’s accolades are well-deserved and The Heritage Table has rightly resumed its place among the best farm-to-table restaurants in the area.

On our first visit, we began with a first course of fried green tomatoes . The Heritage Table’s interpretation on this Southern classic is spot on and brilliantly executed. Five large tomato slices were perfectly ripe, firm yet tender and encased in a crispy batter that never became soggy. The discs are plated on a bed of red pepper remoulade that you’ll find yourself scraping up with your fork for more of the taste.

After The Heritage Table closed its doors during the 2020 pandemic, we dropped it from our list of the area's top restaurants. But under Vana's guidance, The Heritage Table is back on top of its game, offering true farm-to-table goodness draped in the charm and casual elegance of a distinguished Southern gentleman. Vana's James Beard nomination is well-earned, and The Heritage Table belongs in any discussion among the area's best dining establishments.
