Sandra Bullock wasn't in Austin to greet diners, but Bess, her new restaurant, opened Tuesday to a lunch crowd of about 80 people. Four years in the planning, the American South-meets-Europe bistro is in the basement of a building she owns at 500 W. Sixth St.

Executive chef Brenton Childs, who helped open Vespaio, the Salt Lick in Las Vegas and a Whole Foods in Chicago, says Bullock has been involved in "everything: the decor, the menu. It's been an organic family affair."

Brick pillars and wood ceiling beams make for a cozy room that can seat 110 in the 1918 Stratford Arms building. Entrees range from croque monsieur to shepherd's pie, porcini-crusted halibut and steak frite.

Hours are 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with extended hours Friday and Saturday for après-whatever downtowners.

If you see her, ask Sandra about the restaurant's namesake, whose black-and-white photo hangs inside.

Sandra Bullock on Ellen!

Update: You can get a video of Sandra Bullock on Ellen here.

It appears that Ellen has ruined Sandy's wedding plans. From Contact Music:
Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres almost ruined Sandra Bullock's wedding plans after buying the property the actress had hoped to stage her nuptials last year (05). Bullock had her sights set on hiring out a European-style estate in rural California for her big day, but DeGeneres swooped the property out from under her, forcing the MISS CONGENIALITY star to look elsewhere. The actress says, "It was a beautiful Tuscan house and had these valleys and fields and llamas and I was like, 'Oh my god, this reminds me of Europe. I grew up in Europe. I drove up (to it) and I became the weepy bride." The family who were selling the property promptly took it off the market, but her wedding dreams were shattered when she and fiance JESSE JAMES discovered someone had bought the place. Bullock recalls, "We were told that some famous person had bought the house. They sold it out from under us! We had already booked the hotels... I was really p**sed." Bullock then heard DeGeneres talking about her new home on her US chat show - and she realised the comedienne was the new owner. The actress confronted DeGeneres about wrecking her wedding plans when the two came face to face for a taping of the ELLEN show, which airs tomorrow (03NOV06). A shocked DeGeneres said, "When we bought the place we didn't know (about your plans) because we would have let you use it." Bullock eventually wed celebrity mechanic James at the Folded Hill Ranch near Santa Barbara, California last July (05) - and DeGeneres' TV show DJ at the time, TONY OKUNGBOWA, played at the wedding reception.
