Once an East Dallas essential, known for ownerchef Misti Norris’ imaginative, seasonally focused food, Petra and the Beast is now thriving in an expanded version in Lakewood with the same we’ll-do-it-ourselves ethos — which means ingredients pickled, smoked, and fermented on premises, and charcuterie, pasta, even yogurt (at brunch) made in-house.
