On March 31st, Chef Ewald Scholz saw his 86th birthday. With that, his pain and suffering of the past two years ended. His son Brian was able to be with him. Throughout this last great battle, even through the sickness of chemotherapy the pain in his bones and muscles were at times blinding. But he added a step to his gait and made his rounds. He would leave chemo to attend a chef's luncheon and stand straight and true as if he hadn't anything but joy and love.
Many didn't realize the struggle because he masked it so bravely. The great man was driven by a need to squeeze out every opportunity to pass on his spirit to the culinary world of Dallas. A world he gave all to.
Meeting a Legend
by J.B. Blocker
Ewald Scholz brought elegance to the madness of perfection. Ask anyone. Perfectionist is always mentioned with his name.
He is energized and driven
by the soul of hospitality. The great chef is 'Front of House', 'Back of House',
and all points in between. He proved to be a mentor and guide from a young age.
No detail escaped him. He lived his historic culinary carrier with a whip and a rose. I
have seen it in the many ways.
He has traveled the world of cuisine like Marco Polo and then presented what he has learned with thoughtful elegance. He has influenced thousands and charmed thousands more.
