Change & New Discoveries
In 2001 Pyles took a five year “siesta” from the restaurant world; he used the time to travel, educate, teach, and write. During this hiatus, he spent significant time in Latin America, the Eastern Mediterranean including the Levant, Spain and India. These places would all provide cultural influences for his new restaurant ventures. In 2006, Pyles opened in Dallas a new restaurant named after himself. The "Stephan Pyles" Restaurant is located in the Dallas Arts District and serves an ever newer and more cutting-edge genre of cuisine, "New Millenium Southwestern Cuisine." This is a global tapestry of tastes, flavors, aromas and textures from Texas, South America, Spain, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
On November 22, 2009 a second new Dallas Arts District restaurant by Chef Pyles was opened, "Samar by Stephan Pyles". The word "Samar" is a concept designed on combining three cultures, Spain, Eastern Mediterranean and India.

Famous quotes containing the words change and/or discoveries:
“Oh take my Heart, and by that means you’ll prove
Within too stor’d enough of Love:
Give me but Yours, I’ll by that change so thrive,
That Love in all my parts shall live.
So powerful is this change, it render can,
My outside Woman, and your inside Man.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“The science of Humboldt is one thing, poetry is another thing. The poet to-day, notwithstanding all the discoveries of science, and the accumulated learning of mankind, enjoys no advantage over Homer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
