Best Of Fort Worth 2015 Has Landed

L

et’s be clear. Our annual Best Of issue is just for fun. Unlike the Republican debates for the most powerful office in the world. Oh, wait.

They’re fun, too. Eye-wateringly hilarious, in fact. So let me rephrase: Our annual Best Of Fort Worth does not offer as much rolling-on-theground hilarity as Trump and Co. but is still pretty fun. Check out the data.

During the month-long campaign, thousands of votes tumbled into our offices via e-mail and snail-mail. In scientific terms, that’s a shit-ton of mouse clicking and handwriting. (Fort Worthians, apparently, are really passionate about their margaritas, brunches, and coffee.) Over the years, imitators have arisen. The StarTelegram does something about burgers or something, and the good folks at Fort Worth, Texas magazine evidently loved our contest so much they stole our name, even though our first Best Of issue came out four years before Fort Worth, Texas magazine was even founded.

But enough italicized passive aggressiveness. Let’s get down to the business of celebrating everything that makes our city awesomesauce. The cuisine, the culture, the personalities, the stories, the funk –– even or especially if you’re not from here, you’ve got to be impressed. If only we had our own NFL franchise. I can see it now. The Fort Worth Nighthawks (since “Panthers” is already taken). Our team colors would be black on black, and our logo would be the silhouette of an F-117A in “gray dragon” hue. And we would be in the AFC to prevent North Texas from turning into a weeklong drunkfest twice a year. Anyway. Where was I? The 2016 Republican candidates are crazy. Right. But! Don’t let them get ya down. Rather, take a look at our 2015 Best Of issue. Savor it. Save it. With all of these great places to get a bite, see a show, dig some art, catch a band, or have a drink, you know that you’re living in a city that’s growing more dynamic, more cosmopolitan, and more progressive every day. And that has to make you feel good. –– Anthony Mariani

A couple of months ago, a Weeklyteer got bumped from behind by a guy on his cellphone. Well, through the perpetrator’s insurance company, our Weekly hero took his damaged vehicle to Caliber, whose employees were friendly, amenable, and prompt.

Bo Diddley sang, “Shave and a haircut, two bits.” Tom Waits croaked out, “I’d guess you’d say I’m on my way to BurmaShave.” And we say, “Head on over to Fort Worth Barber Shop.” A trim and a hot-towel shave aren’t two bits anymore –– you’re looking at about $50 here before tip.

But there’s no denying this quaint place’s Old World charm.

Beef, 3326 W 7th St

Burgundy’s livestock are grass-fed in open pastures and aren’t given growth hormones or antibiotics. The results are cuts of beef that are leaner, richer, and healthier than those from industrial, corn-fed varieties.

Burgundy also sells free-range chicken eggs, raw honey, and raw (unpasteurized) cheeses.

In this age of big-box liquor stores, it’s nice to see one of the local companies doing so well. Anchored by its West Berry Street mothership, Kings (three locations) offers the kind of personal touch that most massive liquor corporations just can’t replicate.

The Modern’s gift shop also has mugs, glasses, sunglasses, books, bookends, and a whole lot more, mostly everything referencing modern art giants of the past.

Now that Miss Molly’s Toy and Candy Shop is closed, this might be the only gift shop left in town worth dropping into occasionally just to see what’s new.

Featured Products Premium E-Liquids

DFW Vapor was founded in 2009 at the inception of the electronic cigarette craze. The company is dedicated to providing our customers a great alternative to smoking. We strive to provide our customers with a successful path to quit and get results when switching from tobacco to vapor, so we only provide top quality E-Liquids and cutting edge hardware.

When you walk into our store you can always expect to be greeted by knowledgeable and friendly associates. Whether you are a veteran hobbyist or brand new to the experience, they can help you find and teach you how to use an appropriate device and E-Liquid combination that can deliver success. E-cig hardware is ever evolving with new features and technologies, and we always make the latest and best devices available to our customers. We are very selective with the E-Liquids we carry, so at DFW Vapor you will only find E-liquids that are made professionally in a food grade lab.

F O R T WO R T H W E E K LY

We have been leaders in the E-Cig industry since before the big boom in its popularity, and we continue to lead today because of our attention to details and our quality standards. In an industry where trends can evolve over a matter of weeks, the breakneck pulse of what vapor is and where it’s going demands a white-knuckled grip on trends in hardware, e-liquid, and the image of the increasingly entrenched vapor community.

everything from body scrubs and wraps, massages, facials, and footbaths to manis/ pedis, a lap pool, and steam room. But perhaps the best aspects of Relâche are intangible. The calming vibe, the sense that while there are other people around you, you have nearly infinite privacy, and the thoughtful complimentary accoutrements (Q-tips, hair product, blow dryers, lotions, hella fuzzy slippers) make this retreat the

Yoga or Dance Studio

Readers’ choice: Urban Yoga, 1706 8th Av Critic’s choice: Elemental Yoga Therapy, 714 W Magnolia Av

Calling this Near Southside establishment just a yoga studio hardly does it justice.

Brynn Byrne hosts workshops on spiritual exploration, metaphysics, treating medical maladies, and proper eating habits.

Elemental also has become a gathering spot for people who want to hang out without

having to go to a bar. Oh, yeah, and the yoga is phenomenal. Byrne and her other instructors show a level of understanding that few other yogis offer. The Elemental folks also frequently bring in local musicians to perform during sessions.

Vape Shop

Readers’ choice: Mid Cities Vapor, 5205 Davis Blvd, NRH Critic’s choice: Vixen Vapors, 4608 Bryant Irvin Rd

Is it just us, or is there a crazy amount of vape shops around here? Leave a retail spot in a strip mall empty and for lease

for 10 minutes, and a vape shop will appear like a cluster of mushrooms after a t-storm. A sign of the times, we guess.

Anyway, whether you’re into vaping as an alternative to cigarettes or wish to blanket a happy-hour bar top with thick clouds of blueberry cheesecake-scented fog, Vixen Vapors is a great place to get started.

Wanna try a new flavor? The friendly, knowledgeable staff will offer you a singleuse taster tip so you won’t feel like you’re vaping off a public drinking fountain.

If you’re a newb or wish to tweak your build, you’ll have Vixen’s help finding the right pieces to make your Smaug/Drogon/ smoke-machine-at-a-Dragonforce-concert dreams come true.

This newcomer has quickly become an important part of the local musical landscape, but the shelves tucked into the Fairmount Community Library also boast a decent assortment of used vinyl, all curated by the musicians and music lovers who make up two record labels, Dreamy Soundz and Lo-Life Recordings. Dreamy Life is a one-stop shop for either that new War Party record or an old Cheap Trick platter you’ve had your eye on.

Readers’ choice: JunkerVal Antiques, Vintage Junk & Jewelry, 3458 Bluebonnet Cir Critic’s choice: independent music stores

As if the internet hadn’t run enough retailers out of business, online sales and auction sites have stuck a sour chord among mom-and-pop music shops. Need guitar strings? Go online and buy a box at wholesale. Fort Worth, once home to a dozen or more of these stores, is down to a handful of hangers-on, including Music Go Round, Competition, Swords, and Zoo. We hope they all live long and prosper because nothing beats a visit to a little store filled with used instruments and amps that you can see, smell, and hold in your hands before buying.

vendors, the mall demands lingering. In one booth, you may find a door from a 1950s Ford right next to a pile of dishware and an old Morris chair. Just next door is a collection of vintage records and a shelf full of old cameras. Furniture, tools, advertising –– the sheer variety of stuff to dig through can be wonderfully overwhelming.

Esther Penn is like meeting your true love for the first time: You never knew how beautiful life was until you found him. Or in this case, just how pretty your fingers, ears, arms, and neck could feel dressed up in Esther Penn’s carefully curated selection of jewelry.

Airport Fwy Critic’s choice: Rhythm Skate Shop, 1002 Lonestar Pkwy, Grand Prairie

continued from page 42

for a pair of earrings that will have your ears ringing with compliments. “We want to be on trend,” Johnson said. “But we also want to have staples that you’ll spend a little more money on.”

Skateboards

Readers’ choice: Index, 725

Yes, it’s in Grand Prairie, but Rhythm started out as a small shop in Watauga before moving into Alliance Skate Park and opening sister stores in Palm Springs, Calif., and Tacoma, Wash. But besides the “little guy goes big” backstory, Rhythm is the place for skateboard gear, from trucks, decks, bearings, and wheels to clothes, shoes, and accessories. It’s also a big supporter of the local scene, helping a stable of sponsored skaters keep Fort Worth gnarly.

Cigars

–– it’s enough to make us want to start smoking!

Readers’ choice: Pop’s Safari Place to Blow Lots of Cigars & Fine Wines, 2929 Morton St Critic’s choice: Tobacco Lane on Money Accidentally Critic’s choice: Ephemera!, 1208 the Square, 512 Main St, Ste 110 It might be a little pricy, but for swinging W Magnolia Av like a high roller, it’s numero uno. Located inside the Sinclair Building, Tobacco Lane on the Square is one of those places where flannel shirts rub elbows with fine worsted wool. Everyone’s welcome to enjoy the Lane’s great cigar selection, expansive humidor, knowledgeable staff, and terrific wine room, plus pipes, pipe repair, gadgets

Gordon Boswell Flowers sending smiles since 1919

This wee little shop is filled with the most random and seemingly disconnected objects (plastic dinosaurs, gnomes, ceramic animals) that co-owner Suz Reyes uses to create terrariums like you’ve never seen. What’s a terrarium? Well, it’s a container — globe, kitchen pot, unicorn husk, anything, really — where plants are grown. And if you get a terrarium from Ephemera!, there’s a good chance the plant inside won’t die, because if it starts looking sickly, Reyes will give it some expert TLC and turn those leaves back to green. Prices start at $15, or you could build your own with Suz right inside the shop for just $30.

Or you could host a terrarium-growing party with your friends for a unique way to start the evening. But watch out.

Ephemera! also has comic books, vintage clothing, and handmade jewelry.

Adult Toys

Readers’ choice: Velvet Box, 2917 Morton St Critic’s choice: Velvet Box

fwweekly.com

Like a Ralph Gibson coffee table book or a Domain Anderson chardonnay, Velvet Box is classy, elegant, and sensual –– and the staff is great at making you feel comfortable buying the sort of romance-enhancing stuff you might be embarrassed to talk about in front of your parents. Toys, oils, condoms, and more fill the shelves, and the store also offers sex education classes preceded by brief cocktail sessions.

Bill and Renae Jablonowski know their hardware. Before purchasing a store in 2005 and then buying the Fort Worth location in 2008, Bill had worked with Ace in some form since high school. “Small” might be a bit of a stretch, though –– Jabo’s boasts 10 sections, including garden, collegiate, and outdoor living along with other staples such as paint and power tools.

The staffers are knowledgeable and never allow a customer to haul his or her load to their vehicle alone. You can even come in just to talk a little shop and get advice on a project without a spending a dime. The big box retailers may boast convenience continued on page 50

So long, Ralph. The play-by-play caller for the Stars since they were still in Minnesota, Strangis, who recently announced his retirement to pursue his creative passions (especially acting), was half of the best broadcast team in North Texas. And arguably all of Texas. Precise, witty, and incredibly insightful, Strangis and Daryl “Razor” Reaugh, who is about to call his 20th season as color analyst for the Stars, were also bursting with passion: for the sport and for the home team. For the squad’s 2015-16 campaign, Reaugh will be joined in the booth by Dave Strader, who provided play-by-play coverage for NBCSN during the Stanley Cup playoffs and regular season starting in 2011-12.

An outside hitter, Smith led the team in offense last season with a whopping 333 kills and was just recently named to the 2015 All Big 12 pre-season team. That she also happens to look great in uniform is practically an afterthought.

Some guys look good. Some guys sound good. And some guys make you feel good.

Leon Bridges, 26, does all three and makes it look easy. With a honeysweet voice and lyrics that embody the complexities of love, family, and spirituality, this vintage-clad Fort Worth soul singer has made national headlines, topped charts, and stolen our hearts. His November show at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas is already sold out.

Hottest Celebrity (Female)

Readers’ choice: Kellie Rasberry, Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Critic’s choice: Ashley Smith

At 6’1”, with long blonde hair and stunning blue eyes, League City native Smith easily fits the description in “American Made,” the Oak Ridge Boys’ classic ode to wholesome goddesses. But what makes the TCU junior even hotter is when she flashes that gorgeous smile after slamming a spike for the Horned Frogs’ volleyball team.

If you aren’t reading Heinkel-Wolfe, you are not as informed as you should be. The veteran gumshoe is a clinic on investigative journalism, and she has been credited with helping Denton pass its fracking ban. She also keeps city council members on their toes and doesn’t take no for an answer.

Radio Personality

Readers’ choice: Russ Martin, The Russ Martin Show, 97.1 The Eagle Critic’s choice: John Rody, KFTW/97.5-FM The Pirate

For the last 35 years, Texas radio Hall of Famer John Rody, who redefined morning radio in the 1970s, has been involved in local broadcasting –– over the air and over the ’net. Two years ago, Rody and wife Sallie Rody launched The Southside Pirate, a local music-only internet station.

Last February, the Rodys got approval from the FCC to turn it into a spot on the terrestrial dial. Until the permanent tower goes up, the broadcasts will remain sporadic, but stay tuned –– with his hyperlocal station, Rody may be giving life to a dying medium.

Servant of the People

Readers’ choice: Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price Critic’s choice: Burleson Mayor Ken Shetter

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges in June, Mayor Shetter received a lot of attention, plenty of accolades, and heaps of condemnation for his online response to a constituent’s demand that he provide biblical justification for his support of same-sex marriage. Shetter’s short essay, “But the Greatest of These Is Love,” articulates a sublime understanding of the relationship between personal convictions and public service. Whether this will help or hurt Mayor Shetter’s political career in his conservative suburban community remains to be seen, but Burleson residents (and the rest of us) are fortunate to have a sane local politician who has the courage to stand on his principles. continued on page 64

Candidate for Alien Abduction

Critic’s choice: Kory Watkins

Hey, space aliens. If you really want to help us pitifully primitive humans join the galactic community or whatever your allegedly beneficent end-game is, you

could start by swinging by and picking up Open Carry Tarrant County leader Kory Watkins and dropping him off in some lawless, government-free hellhole where nobody cares if you walk around with a death-dealing dick joke strapped to your back. Watson’s assertion that the Constitution guarantees him the right to carry a firearm in full public view without any government-issued license doesn’t make him worth snatching up outright, but there’s this interesting wrinkle regarding his personal politics: Because of his guilty plea for a Class A misdemeanor (for stealing car speakers) when he was 17, he is ineligible for licensed carrying.

His intractable stance in favor of so-called

“Constitutional carry” (i.e. completely unlicensed) is conveniently specific to his situation, making his presumably altruistic, gub’mint-fighting, freedomdefending activism at best self-serving and worst disturbingly bereft of selfawareness.

Considering how inoperative the school district’s Board of Trustees has been the last several years, it’s a major development when they can come together long enough to name a new school superintendent.

Dr. Kent Paredes Scribner begins his honeymoon in the Fort soon, having worked in the same position in Phoenix since 2008. At the announcement that he was the only finalist for the position in early August, Scribner commented that he was “convinced that Fort Worth ISD is poised for great success. The district’s impressive Board of Trustees, talented staff, and engaged business community are among the ingredients required to build a prosperous school-community.”

The Weekly wishes him luck. He’ll need it.

Old Guy

Critic’s choice: Ernest “Rocky” Rothfelder

At 93, Rocky is the oldest Meals on Wheels volunteer in Tarrant County. That’s right.

He doesn’t receive meals. He delivers them. And he’s devoted his life to serving others. He’s still an active member in the Lions Club, Fort Worth Elks Lodge, Shriners, St. Luke United Methodist Church, The Day Resource Center, and the Depression Connection for Recovery.

(Just reading this list makes us tired.) The lawyer from Haltom City is also lucky in love. He’s engaged to a beautiful 83-yearold lady he met at his church — proving that passion can last a lifetime.

Old Gal

Critic’s choice: Jean Klein, New Cattle Barn Flea Market, 8629 Camp Bowie West

For 40 years, the affable Jean Klein sold nostalgia at her long, narrow booth in the southwest corner of the Will Rogers Cattle Barn Flea Market. She dickered gently without being ornery, kept a smile on her face, and became a favorite vendor among customers and fellow junkers alike. After the city began charging high parking fees, customers abandoned the flea market, and it closed this year. Klein decided to retire.

Then the bazaar was resurrected on the West Side, bringing back the gray-haired woman with the golden smile. Find her selling wares and spreading joy every Saturday and Sunday in her southwest corner booth.

The small-statured playmaker from Concepción del Uruguay, Argentina, wears Number 10 for the Hoops, and in keeping with the spirit of other greats who’ve worn that jersey number like Pelé, Zinédine Zidane, and Lionel Messi, he has become the creative hub of FC Dallas’ offense. Having started his career with the fabled Argentinian team River Plate (he’s not the first FC Dallas player to come from there), Díaz has had some trouble staying healthy, but when he’s on the field, he’s one of MLS’ most electrifying players.

Bounced from the Stanley Cup-winning Boston Bruins two years ago for reasons we still haven’t been told about, the center from Brompton, Ont., led the Stars in goal-scoring last year and was fifth in the league overall with 37. He’s hardly begging for spare change with a $5.75 million yearly salary, but considering that he’s only the fourth-highest paid player on his own team and that he’s only 23 years old, he’s an asset that any NHL team would envy.

College Athlete

$28 billion.

Critic’s choice: Trevone Boykin, TCU Horned Frogs

1320 South University Drive Ste 1000 Fort Worth, TX 76107 Phone: 817-332-1313 Fax: 817-332-2956 www.rhsb.com

After his team was snubbed by the College Football Playoff selection committee last year, TCU’s quarterback is poised to lead one of the nation’s best offenses on a revenge mission. The West Mesquite High School alumnus will probably head into the season as a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. The fleet-footed athlete shows a nice touch on deep passes and has the necessary arm strength to fit the ball into tight windows. Look for him to shatter the school’s passing records this upcoming season.

Use of Taxpayer Money

Critic’s choice: South Main Street reconstruction

The Near Southside’s South Main Street has been sitting stagnant for years, the victim of past road widenings, which have

eroded the pedestrian infrastructure, but a new reconstruction project pushed by Fort Worth South Inc. is returning the street to its roots as an active, engaging place for people (as opposed to cars). The street’s tiny sidewalks and wide pavement are getting replaced by spacious brick sidewalks, trees, lights, and bike lanes.

It looks poised to kick off another round of redevelopment in the neighborhood, and it’s a great example of using public investment to improve livability in the central city and spur private investment.

Neighborhood Group Critic’s choice: Riverside Arts District

In a few years, when the Race Street Urban Village is one of the city’s hottest economic and social hubs, you can thank the folks at the Riverside Arts District. While there are many active neighborhood groups in town, few have done more with less. It’s not a finished product yet, but Debby Stein and company have molded the downtrodden area into a place that frequently hosts outdoor markets, art shows, concerts, and neighborhood events.

Watchdog

Critic’s choice: Bob Ray Sanders

After 45 years in journalism (first as a political and courthouse reporter for the Star-Telegram in 1969, then as a reporter for KERA before returning to the Star-T in 1990), Sanders announced his retirement last spring. In the second half of his career as a columnist, he openly criticized racial bias and inequality in the legal system and tackled dozens of other controversial issues. He was always forthright but also civil toward and respectful of naysayers. It will take a strong voice, and an even stronger journalist, to continue his fight.

Blog

Critic’s choice: The Star Telegraph

The intro says it all: “Have you been appalled by what you see on the ‘news’ happening in the communities?” Pollution and misuse of public funds are popular issues here. While there’s no shortage of topics people are willing to blog about, The Star Telegraph is a reminder that watchdogging still has a place.

Critic’s choice: Farmers Branch

Looking for some outdoor serenity? Access the Trinity River trails off Pumphrey Drive (head north from White Settlement Rd/183 in Westworth Village) or Isbell Road (off White Settlement) and make your way northeast along the trail to the waterfall. It might not be Niagara, but it’s sure to inspire you to decompress and find your center. You might even cool off with a dip in Farmers Branch Creek.

Mexican Breakfast

Critic’s choice: La Tortilandia, 1112 W Berry St

The massive size of the inexpensive breakfast burritos ($3.25) at La Tortilandia may limit their portability, so have a forklift ready if you plan on taking them home. Traditional Mexican breakfast favorites like barbacoa con huevos, menudo, and chorizo dishes provide plenty of fuel to start your day or combat the nastiest hangover. This family-owned spot also serves freshly squeezed juices and horchata.

Brunch

Bird Café offers soul-satisfying brunch dishes like the Mother and Child Reunion (fried chicken and grits) and the Bird Creole Benedict with fried green tomatoes.

Boozy brunchers will want to try one of the gastropub’s craft cocktails, like the Bird Mimosa or the Dude Imbibes (Avoca espresso and whiskey). Eat in the spacious dining area or feast alfresco on the place’s great people-watching patio overlooking Sundance Square.

Parents can enjoy a glass of wine or beer from the onsite cantina while listening to live music on Friday nights.

Brisket

It’s a good thing Heim holds back on handing out generous portions of its barbecue sauce, because drowning the eatery’s signature brisket would be like drawing over a Picasso with Liquid Paper. The superior cut of beef and the painstaking efforts to produce it are evident on the plate and the palate.

Latin/Caribbean

Readers’ choice: Gloria’s Latin Cuisine, 2600 W 7th, Ste 175 Critic’s choice: Angie’s Bikkles Caribbean Restaurant, 1704 Galveston Av

Angie’s spot-on spices in Jamaican favorites like jerk chicken mingle well with their accompanying sauces. Exotic dishes like curried goat also possess several layers of spice-packed flavor. Angie’s unique drinks, like the sweet sorrel or pine ginger, complement the heat of the fare.

Readers’ choice: Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, 3100 W 7th St Critic’s choice: Pacific Table, 1600 S University Dr, Ste 601

Pacific Table’s seafood-focused menu brings Fort Worth diners East and West Coast cold water oysters, a nice selection of traditional sushi, and daily seafood specials at approachable prices in a warm, modern setting. The scallop and ahi tuna salads are standout dishes that make for a light and satisfying lunch. For heartier fare, try the sumptuous San Francisco Cioppino soup, Trout Almondine, or Cedar Plank Salmon.

Bakery

Readers’ choice: CC’s Cupcake Heaven, 1956 Green Oaks Rd Critic’s choice: Black Rooster Bakery, 2430 Forest Park Blvd

Experience a little taste of France every time you walk into Black Rooster Bakery.

The cozy neighborhood spot produces a wide array of sweet and savory baked goods for breakfast, lunch, and dessert. Softballsize croissants, portable mini quiches, scones, and muffins are just a few of the breakfast offerings. Lunch items include sandwiches and soups. To satisfy your sweet tooth, pick up some of the place’s cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, and macarons.

Food Truck

Readers’ choice: Taco Heads, 700 W 7th St Critic’s choice: Yatai Food Kart, 1311 W Magnolia Av

Tokyo Café Chef Kevin Martinez wasn’t on hiatus too long after a fire forced the venerable sushi restaurant to close. He’s continued to deliver his unique take on Japanese cuisine through his Yatai Food Kart. You can grab bowls of miso-ramen soup, kimchi sandwiches, brunch bento boxes, and takoyaki from the truck’s semipermanent spot in front of Avoca Coffee on the Near Southside.

Nontraditional Burger Critic’s choice: Kin Kin Urban Thai, 2801 W 7th St

Who says you have to have a bun for a burger? At Kin Kin, a garlic and soyglazed Angus beef patty is wedged between

two sticky rice discs. Sure, it takes a little more effort to eat, but diners are rewarded for their work with interesting textures and flavors.

View

Critic’s choice: Campestre Chula Vista, 1950 Menefee Av

In an unlikely spot on the North Side, one that takes you past an old shopping center housing a Pancho’s and Thrift Town, you’ll find Campestre Chula Vista. Its hilltop location offers a spectacular view of Fort Worth. Chula Vista is Spanish for “pretty view,” and this off-the-beaten-path gem delivers the eye candy.

Presentation

Critic’s choice: Le Cep, 3324 W 7th St

Any chef who meticulously prepares an entrée’s presentation is sure to put the same care into every step of making the dish. Le Cep’s courses are a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The glace dessert is a small mound of pure dark chocolate with a shimmering shell so glassy you can use it to put your makeup on. Bright, golden sprinkles of hibiscus and a small rose finish off the delight, which looks more like a minimalist work of art than a confection.

There’s nothing swanky about Angelo’s décor, unless hunter’s-lodge chic is your thing. Since opening in 1958, the superb eatery has built a reputation for consistently tender slow-smoked meats (exclusively using hickory) served cafeteria-style. The ribs have a mildly earthy dry rub that’s not too salty, and the meat is so tender a stern look can cause it to fall off the bone.

Readers’ choice: Hedary’s Mediterranean Restaurant, 6323 Camp Bowie Blvd Critic’s choice: The Flying Carpet, 1223 Washington Av

After being closed for two years, the Turkish restaurant and hookah lounge reopened last spring with the hiring of Chef Cebriel Demirtas. Dozens of hand-woven Turkish carpets adorn the main entryway, giving the space a distinctly Middle Eastern vibe. Chef Demirtas specializes continued on page 82

Soup

Critic’s choice: Hanabi Ramen & Izakaya, 3204 Camp Bowie Blvd

This ain’t your college dorm ramen.

Hanabi serves several varieties of the traditional Japanese noodle soup. The king of them all is the Tonkotsu, which features a thick slice of pork shoulder, a boiled egg, bamboo shoots, green onions, strips of seaweed, and a mound of fresh veggies, all swimming in creamy, rich, and savory pork broth.

The Best Reviews Come From The Best Customers!

Great service and great tap beer selection! Bar is clean and has a good atmosphere, lots of TVs, buzztime and good music. First time here, wish I could come back more but from out of town. • Best wings in the DFW and they have some great craft beer on draft that is always rotating. • It was our first time eating the food and it was delicious! I am originally from Upstate NY and I have been craving a good ole’ fashioned submarine sandwich and Buffalo Bros hit the spot! The pizza is fantastic as well! We will definitely be repeat customers! Very happy with our experience and service! • Are you looking for a cold drink to cool you down this summer? Then try the Frozen Buffalo at Buffalo Bros. in Fort Worth. It’s a frozen whiskey and coke which is very tasty. • Buffalo Bros is my go to spot in Fort Worth. There are so many good restaurants in the area, but I can’t resist getting wings a a beer here. • The wings are huge and taste great. Pair it with a side of fries and a schooner of beer and it’s the perfect meal. • Five stars for being open late and having fresh ingredients. We made a pepperoni, jalapeno, mushroom pizza which was awesome.

HOLA!

Monster burgers, chicken-fried steaks, craft beer — Fred’s already served up a lot of gut-busting food before entering hot dog territory. Now its menu includes a rotating “Dawg of the Month.” Conceptualized by former Rodeo Goat chef Keith Grober, each one is massive and oh-so-good. August’s mutant frankfurter was the Diablo Dawg, a Kobe beef sausage with chipotle peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, crispy onion strings, and Tabasco sauce.

Gourmet Pizza

Critic’s choice: Chimera Brewing Company, 1223 Washington Av

Admittedly, there’s good competition for this category. But Chimera Brewing Company (formerly Zio Carlo Magnolia Brew Pub) wins on moxie. The Near Southside haven for craft beer lovers serves several adventurous pies like the Brie and Spec or Prosciutto e Funghi. They are all baked to perfection in a brick-fire oven, and the staff is more than happy to recommend a good beer pairing.

Wine List

Readers’ choice: Kent & Co. Wines, 1101 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Kent & Co Wines

Flipping through Kent & Co’s massive wine list is like perusing a phone book full of delectable selections from around the world. The bar offers 260 varieties of vino by the glass, and the prices are reasonable considering the swanky evirons. You can snag a bottle of Rombauer Chardonnay for around $40, have a glass, and take the rest home.

Place to Buy Fresh Fruits and Veggies

Readers’ choice: Central Market Critic’s choice: Project 44 Farm,

Margret and Ben Fields grow peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and other organic produce on three acres of clean, green, blue-sky country in Granbury. But what makes this farm amazing is that the Fieldses give 90 percent of the produce away to food pantries across North Texas.

Sure, you can buy plenty of butter crunch lettuce and free-range eggs to take home.

But the goal of this nonprofit farm is to feed needy families with produce that’s not normally available to them.

Sausage

Critic’s choice: Billy’s Oak Acres BBQ, 1700 N Las Vegas Tr

Zone out while driving on Las Vegas Trail, and you just might miss this place fronted by a rustic shack. This former house with warped floors is home to a firstrate barbecue joint. We love the place’s spicy sausage, which is served in plentiful amounts in a snappy casing. Everything else is good here, so it only makes sense that the links are top-notch as well.

Pan-Asian

Readers’ choice: Shinjuku Station, 711 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Asia Bowl & Grill, 2400 Lands End Blvd

For sheer, bewildering variety, there’s no beating this unassuming eatery in a strip mall near Ridgmar Mall. Besides the Chinese and Japanese staples (including sushi), this restaurant serves up a plethora of other Asian dishes, ranging from Filipino pancit bihon to Malaysian coconut curry to Vietnamese pho to Indonesian ramen noodles. We wouldn’t be surprised if Indian dishes started popping up on the menu. Diners with a sweet tooth should definitely try the vanilla shrimp, served with pecans and broccoli glazed with honey.

Sushi

Readers’ choice: Blue Sushi Sake Grill 3131 W 7th St Critic’s choice: Ume Sushi & Korean BBQ, 4750 Bryant Irvin Rd

This establishment in Cityview doesn’t wear coolness on its sleeve like the aggressively hip Shinjuku Station or the self-consciously upscale Blue Sushi Sake Grill. However, Ume’s rolls are just as good and at prices that won’t break your wallet.

Check out the kitchen’s creamy and spicy Sunny Roll or the Wow Roll, which comes with a live fire show. The Korean dining options here are a nice bonus, too. continued on page 86

Readers’ choice: The Great Outdoors Sub Shop, 3204 Camp Bowie Blvd, Ste A Critic’s choice: East Hampton Sandwich Co., 1605 University Dr

This Dallas-based chain made it to our side of the county line this year, and the people in the TCU area have reaped the benefits. The place’s high-quality sammies range from the classic (ham and Swiss) to the unusual (asparagus and Gruyère).

While the $16 lobster roll might be pricy (for non-TCU students), it’s worth the investment.

Wings

Readers’ choice: Buffalo Bros, 3015 S University Dr Critic’s choice: Trinity River Tap House, 2725 W 7th St

1605 S. University Drive Fort Worth, TX 76107 817.887.9928

The quality of the food at this sports bar can vary somewhat, but there’s no doubt about the kitchen’s ability to do chicken wings right. Its succulent bad boys are fried crispy enough to stand up to even a heavyduty sauce like buffalo or honey-barbecue, but do yourself a favor and order them as a brunch item when you can experience the pure glory of their crust with waffles and gravy.

Critic’s choice: Blue Cherry, 12400 Timberland Blvd, Keller

There are lots of good places to get froyo in Tarrant County, but do any of them offer Korean barbecue as well? You might think not, but that means you haven’t seen this organic coffeehouse that also serves burgers, bagel sandwiches, boba tea, smoothies, and Japanese noodles. Other yogurt places might brag about their range of toppings, but here you can top your yogurt with bulgogi. How can you beat that?

Homecooking

Readers’ choice: Vickery Café, 4120 W Vickery Blvd Critic’s choice: West Side Café, 7950 Camp Bowie West

The big “Country Cookin’ ” sign out front ain’t lying. If you order the hamburger, fried chicken, Western omelets, mac ’n’ cheese, lemon pie, or any other dish from the wide assortment at West Side Café, you might suspect they’ve kidnapped your grandma and put her to work in the kitchen. And you won’t care because the food is so good.

Billy once limited his chicken-fried steak to certain days of the week, but requests were so frequent that it’s now a daily menu item. The new lack of exclusivity in no way diminishes the demand or desirability of this delectable chunk of deep-fried beef and the tasty sides that go along with it.

Throw in the caramel-drizzled banana pudding for dessert, and you’ll have gorged on a spread that would make a condemned man do a jig.

Critic’s choice: Handley Antique Mall and Café, 3129 Handley Dr

Readers’ choice: Torchy’s Tacos, 928 Northton St Critic’s choice: Revolver Taco Lounge, 2822 W 7th St

A recent visit to Los Paisanos shocked a regular patron –– the salsa verde tasted sweet … as if … surely not … someone … added … OMG! Tomatillos! The patron felt sad and betrayed. Paisanos has traditionally made its excellent verde with jalapeños, garlic, and water and shunned the tomatillo that gringos like because it dilutes the zing. Fortunately, the restaurant had merely hired a new cook who wasn’t aware that she was now cooking in a “no tomatillo zone.” Soon the salsa was back to normal, and by “normal,” we mean the best around.

Menudo

Critic’s choice: Amy’s Restaurant, 1537 N Main St

When you eat at Amy’s, you’re sure of one thing –– you’re getting a genuine, fresh meal. And it’ll be made by a real woman named Amy who makes her dishes from scratch using two genuine hands on a real stove with real pots and pans. Her steaming bowls of menudo should be patented for medicinal purposes.

Field of One

Critic’s choice: Spiral Diner, 1314 W Magnolia Av

The queso fundido consists of fire-melted cheese with shrimp, poblano pepper, and crispy longaniza served with tortillas, and it’s decadent enough to make you almost feel guilty when devouring it. Almost. The only problem: Revolver Taco is threatening to move to Dallas, taking its queso fundido with it. Will this Best Of award convince them to stay?

Even as our neighbors in Dallas and Denton gain increasing numbers of restaurants with large vegan-friendly menus, Fort Worth lags behind. Thankfully, we still have Spiral Diner holding down its corner of Magnolia as always. Spiral has been a reliable touchstone of the Fort Worth restaurant scene 13 years, serving up a growing menu of creative dishes that are completely free of animal products and delicious. It’s a testament to the staff ’s creativity and the quality of the food that Spiral still feels new after all this time.

Red Salsa

Best-Kept Secret

Critic’s choice: Original Mexican Eats Café, 4713 Camp Bowie Blvd

829 Lamar Blvd East, Arlington ~ 817-265-9174 (Metro)

Critic’s choice: Los Paisanos Restaurante Y Taqueria, 1446 N Main St

The Original has been serving great Mexican food since 1926, and they’ve figured out a thing or two about making bueno salsa rojo. It’s all in the seasoning, folks. Many Mexican restaurants serve a salsa that looks and tastes like watery tomatoes. At the Original, you’ll taste the garlic, salt, chile, onion, and other seasonings that make their recipe numero uno. You don’t survive in this town for 89 years without knowing a thing or three about salsa.

Critic’s choice: Le’s Wok, 812 W Rosedale St

Le’s is a lesson in not judging a book by its cover. The blink-and-miss-it café shares an unassuming building with a convenience store at the northeast corner of Rosedale and Lipscomb streets. Nothing about its tumbledown exterior gives any hint about the quality within. Le’s dishes up delicious Asian fare, prepared and served without hipster pretension. As a bonus, nearly everything on the menu can be made vegan, making Le’s a great option for just about anybody. continued on page 90

Critic’s choice: Buon Giorno Coffee, 915 Florence St

Almost a decade ago, British transplant David Clarke left the computer industry and started a little coffeehouse/roaster in Grapevine. Four years later, he opened a second store just on the edge of downtown Fort Worth. There are a few outstanding local roasters, but no one brings out the subtle lemon notes of an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe or the chocolate overtones of a Mexican Altura like Clarke.

No matter what your taste buds are yearning for, Central Market’s salad counters and deli will satisfy. From an extraordinary

selection of olives, marinated vegetables, and pickled peppers to an array of exotic salads, cheeses, and meats, the chic South Hulen market has it all.

Fast Food

Critic’s choice: Fort Worth Food Park, 2509 Weisenberger St

When we’re in the mood for fast food, we want selection. The Fort Worth Food Park’s rotating food truck schedule always fits the bill: burgers, exotic sandwiches, ethnic platters, pub grub, Tex-Mex, desserts, and everything in between. It’s open only Fri-Sun, but it’s worth waiting for. And you shouldn’t be eating that much regular fast food anyway.

Tamales

Readers’ choice: Hot Damn!

Tamales, 713 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Hot Damn!

Tamales

Hot Damn! regularly experiments with the Mexican staple but also delivers exquisite versions of the classics. Whether it’s plain pork or a gourmet wild mushroomand-goat cheese tamale, the ingredients are fresh and the flavor combinations out of this world. The place also has vegetarian and vegan options. Be sure to try one of the signature dessert tamales.

Fries

Critic’s choice: Super Chix, 620 W Park Row Dr, Arl

Super Chix’s fries are lightly seasoned with salt and a secret sweet spice that you can’t find anywhere else, and the place uses only the highest quality potatoes.

Restaurant Serving Locally Sourced Food

Critic’s choice: Burgundy Pasture Beef, 3326 W 7th St

The Taggart family raises and/or grows almost everything it serves at its tiny West 7th grocer/grill. The kitchen cranks out its outstanding burgers only three days a week, and the meat comes directly from the family’s Grandview ranch. Heck, the people taking your money were very likely there when the cow was born. It doesn’t get more locally sourced than that.

Cajun

Readers’ choice: Razoo’s Cajun Café, 4750 Bryant Irvin Rd, Ste 808 Critic’s choice: Boo Ray’s, 7255 Boat Club Rd

It’s worth driving all the way up Boat Club Road in North Fort Worth, or out west to Hudson Oaks, to taste the authentic New Orleans flavors that Boo Ray’s has perfected. Hell, it’s probably faster than getting in and out of the parking lot at Pappadeaux. Founded by a NoLa native, Boo Ray’s has been serving spot-on étouffée, jambalaya, gumbeaux (that’s “gumbo” for you laypeople), and blackened justabout-anything for more than a decade.

The portions are huge, and the pours are generous, so bring some friends.

Critic’s choice: “I Can’t Decide” Seafood Trio at Waters Fine Coastal Cuisine

Come for the half-priced oysters, stay for the fresh, meticulously prepared fish. If, like us, you’re terrible at decision-making, then the “I Can’t Decide” Seafood Trio is for you. A well-portioned sampler of three Waters favorites –– the Creoleseared drum, pecan pesto-crusted trout, and grilled arctic char –– is the perfect way to get a feel for Jon Bonnell’s broad range of techniques and styles. Order it yourself or share with a friend alongside the “Dirty Dozen” oyster special and a nice bottle of white wine from the restaurant’s impressive list.

Appetizers

Critic’s choice: Reata, 310 Houston St

Is there a better appetizer sampler in all the world than the one at Reata? This is not your Applebee’s-style platter with tepid potato skins, bland nachos, and rubbery mozzarella sticks. Grab some friends and split a plate piled high with smoked quail, elk sausage, tenderloin-stuffed tamales, bacon-wrapped shrimp, jalapeño cheese grits, and a positively adorable Lone Starcontinued on page 94

Taco

Critic’s Top 5:

1.) Revolver Taco Lounge and Campestre Chula Vista are owned by the same people, but the two places have very different vibes.

The former is a chic, West 7th lounge, and the latter is an off-the-beaten-path far-Northside gem with the best view in town. Another thing the two places have in common is a dedication to creative, authentic Mexican cuisine made from scratch by honest-togoodness abuelas. The empire of 3.) Salsa Limón (multiple locations) has expanded to a TCU-area storefront. The place’s kitchen has an unflinching devotion to quality ingredients. The El Capitan taco is a gooey, tender must-try. Speaking of restaurants with new locations, the popular 4.) Taco Heads food trailer (700 W 7th St) has spawned a brick-and-mortar location on the Near Southside. The enormous, booze-soaking tacos taste heavenly at any hour, but they’re especially tasty at 3 a.m. after a long night of drinking. 5.) Juanito’s Taqueria (415 Hemphill St) is the star of Hemphill’s taco corridor, serving traditional Mexican street tacos fast, using fresh ingredients with just the right amount of greasy, spicy, comforting flavor.

It’s easy enough to find a lunch special under $7, but good luck finding one you’d want to eat — let alone a lunch that tastes like it was cooked to order. That’s what you’ll get at Nizza Pizza, though: Choose from 20 pasta dishes, including linguine with red clam sauce, ziti al vodka, or spaghetti with meatballs, all for $6.95 each. Add a salad for $1.95, or try a hot sub combo for $7.95. You can’t go wrong with this family-run institution that serves up Italian classics with passion and pride.

Readers’ choice: Melt Ice Creams, 954 W Rosedale St Critic’s choice: Steel City Pops, 908 Currie St

Let’s think outside the ice cream box here.

Steel City Pops does two main types of pops: fruity, which is like a frozen puree, and creamy, which is very much like ice cream. Purists may not refer to it as “ice cream,” but there is no doubt Steel City puts out delicious and creative flavors.

Sure, you can get strawberry and vanilla, but doesn’t cucumber-lime sound like an excellent choice on a blistering hot day?

Plus, Steel City uses only locally sourced organic ingredients.

With weekly and daily specials on everything from lobster tail and salmon fillets to pork tenderloin and chicken thighs, you’re sure to find what you need. Best of all, there’s actually space to move around with a shopping cart, you won’t be waiting until next Tuesday for your number to be called, and checkout lines are usually minimal.

Vegetarian Meal

Readers’ choice: Spiral Dinner Critic’s choice: Samson’s Market Bistro, 4398 Camp Bowie Blvd

Meatless dining has come a long way in Cowtown, but true variety and culinary adventure remain elusive goals for vegetarians and those who love them.

Ethiopian cuisine fits the bill, thankfully, and Samson’s Market Bistro is a great introduction to the flavors and ingredients of the Horn of Africa. Collard greens with cardamom, beet root with ginger, lentils with berbere, and other brightly colored treats are splashed across the injera continued on page 98

Bread (at a Restaurant) Critic’s choice: Café Modern, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St

Café Modern may have the most beautiful dining room in town, but the staff doesn’t coast on the café’s A-list location or cut corners on quality. Even its bread basket is a work of art: A variety of hot wheat rolls and sticks of perfect cornbread is outdone only by the rosemary Asiago cheese biscuits that practically melt in your mouth.

Place to Buy Ethnic Food

Critic’s choice: International Food Land, 1729 S Cooper St, Arl

Specializing in imported delicacies from the Mediterranean and the Near East, this family-owned grocery has been a taste of home for many UTA students and a window to the wider world for many more Arlingtonians more than 30 years. For intrepid cooks, each aisle is an adventure: Feta cheese from Bulgaria, olives from

Greece, and honey from Lebanon snuggle up against fragrant bags of bulk spices from India and the Levant. The scent of baklava, pita, and falafel hangs in the air, but you get more than authentic atmosphere at IFL — the bargain prices put mainstream foodie stores to shame.

Buffet

Readers’ choice: Terra Mediterranean, 2973 Crockett St Critic’s choice: Chadra Mezza and Grill, 1622 Park Place Av

Whatever you’re hungry for, the chances are good that Chadra’s $10 lunch buffet can satisfy you. The Lebanese-based menu roams freely about the shores of the Mediterranean, lingering on the Greek islands before docking at the Italian coast for some heavy-duty carb loading. Many well-planned diets have been smashed to

smithereens by the Near Southside eatery’s warm garlic knots and hand-tossed pizzas.

Whether it’s dolmas or gyros, shawarma or falafel, meatballs or muhammara, Chadra delivers unparalleled variety and uncompromising quality at a price that can’t be beat.

Best Pizza

Readers’ choice: Hysen’s Nizza Pizza Critic’s choice: Hysen’s Nizza Pizza

You could spend weeks scouring New York City’s five boroughs and not find a piece of pie that holds up to a straight-up cheese slice from Hysen Lushaj’s Nizza Pizza in the Cultural District. The myth that New York water is the secret to great Big Apple pizza doesn’t get much traction around here. Nizza Pizza has its own formula for success — quality ingredients you can taste and enough heat to get the job done right. And fugetabout the price: You’d be continued on page 100

817.984.1110

1.) Rodeo Goat (2836 Bledsoe St) occasionally border on outlandish flights of gastronomic fever dreams, but its Chupacabra Burger is as fantastic as the mythical creature for which it’s named. As if it weren’t already smoldering with fiery goodness from its beef-chorizo patty, it comes topped with even more heat from fried jalapeños and queso asadero, and the hatch chile and smoked lime aioli zap it with piquant goodness. 2.) Fred’s Texas Café definitely delivers another burger at least as hot as the Chupacabra. The Serrano Burger provides a great balance of heat to flavor.

The patty is stuffed with diced serranos and topped with grilled ones, but the Oaxaca cheese and grilled onions tastefully mellow out a superbly savory, spicy experience. Then there’s Barnyard Brawl at 3.) Bronson Rock (250 S Main St, Keller). If you skipped breakfast, this burger’s for you. Besides the melty ecstasy of a big slice of American cheese, it comes topped with a fried egg, bacon, and hashbrowns. Sometimes, though, a burger doesn’t need to tower with toppings to impress. The Project X from 4.) Charley’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers (4616 Granbury Rd) is a perennial fave, whose only gimmick, Tabasco cooked into the meat, is enough to sear your brain with a delicious scorching meal memory. And you can’t go wrong with a classic bacon cheeseburger from 5.) Kincaid’s Hamburgers (4901 Camp Bowie Blvd). The perfectly seasoned half-pound patty is elevated to must-try by a simple slice of gooey American cheese and pair of crispy, just-crunchy-enough bacon slices. It might not have a lot of flash, but Kincaid’s cooks their burgers absolutely flawlessly, which makes all the difference when it comes to delectable simplicity.

Deli

Readers’ choice: Carshon’s Delicatessen, 3133 Cleburne Rd Critic’s choice: Carshon’s Delicatessen

Fort Worth isn’t exactly swimming in authentic Kosher-style delis, but don’t

think for a minute that Carshon’s is the favorite by default. Generations of loyal devotees have been reared on the place’s split-pea soup and Reuben sandwiches. For a town growing as quickly as Fort Worth, a love of Carshon’s remains one of the surefire claims to legitimacy for anyone seeking permanent-resident status here.

Indian

Readers’ choice: Maharaja Indian Restaurant, 6308 Hulen Bend Blvd Critic’s choice: Bombay Grill, 4625 Donnelly Av

Sometimes you’ll sit down at an Indian

restaurant and leave wondering how long ago your food was prepared and what it had been up to since. Not at Bombay Grill.

The naan is served crackling hot, and the navratan korma, gemlike vegetables in a savory cream sauce, arrives in a cloud of steam. Whether you come for the lunch buffet or the a la carte dinner service, you will enjoy freshness in every bite.

Vietnamese

Tucked behind Ridgmar Mall, Pho Little Saigon is a jewel of a Vietnamese restaurant frequented by the Lockheed/NAS crowd as well as a cult following of civilians hungry for avocado spring rolls and seafood hotpots. Crisp, clean, and bright, Little Saigon is a family-run venture that packs a heavy punch of flavor. The kitchen’s classic pho soups, flat noodles, and rice dishes can be customized to fit any appetite — low-carb and vegetarian options are available on most dishes, and garnishes of basil, lime, and jalapeños are piled high and fresh.

Readers’ choice: Pho Hung, 6399 Camp Bowie Blvd Critic’s choice: Pho Little Saigon, Thai Readers’ choice: Thailicious, 1712 Mall Cir 4601 W Fwy Critic’s choice: Spice, 411 W Magnolia Av

Flavorful and fragrant, Spice’s house curries and noodles are prepared fresh and seasoned to order. Note for you heatseekers: “Five” really does mean five. And you will leave soaked in sweat. The calm, quiet elegance of the dining room allows for a deep appreciation of the alternately bold and subtle dishes.

The fried pastor quesadilla, filled with white cheese and shredded lettuce, is half-moon-shaped manna. It’s the perfect combination of crispy, greasy, cheesy, and spicy –– thanks especially to the tiny café’s superior green salsa.

New Restaurant

Readers’ choice: Fixture Kitchen & Social Lounge, 401 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Kin Kin Urban Thai

It was a bittersweet year for Chef Eddy Thretipthuangsin, who shuttered Bite City Grill a few months after opening Kin Kin Urban Thai. But the chef ’s second Fort Worth venture has a lot going for it.

Few places offer as complete an experience as the West 7th gem. The James Beard Award-winning chef ’s menu brings an innovative flare to Thai comfort food.

Every detail of the place is top-notch, from the outstanding cocktail menu to the elegant but comfortable décor. Hopefully, Fort Worth diners will be enjoying Kin Kin for many years to come.

Avila’s elegant, creative rotating menu of small plates is as ambitious as it is delicious. There’s nothing trendy or folksy about Le Cep, and the kitchen makes no apologies for serving decidedly upscale modern European fare in a town that many thought wasn’t quite ready for it.

Avila deserves credit for daring to bring cosmopolitan cuisine to our chicken-fried culinary landscape.

Tex-Mex under $10

Readers’ choice: Salsa Limon, 929 University Dr Critic’s choice: Los Asaderos, 1535 N Main St

Longtime fans of El Asadero might have worried about a decline in quality a few years ago when the Northside Tex-Mex staple’s ownership changed, and its name became plural. But those fears proved to be completely unfounded. Los Asaderos’ heaping plates of enchiladas verdes, puerco asado, tacos, y mas won’t break your bank, and you’ll go home happy and full.

Late Night Dining

Critic’s choice: Salsa Limón

Waiting an hour in an after-hours Whataburger drive-through sounds fun and all, but for our money (and time), we’d rather queue up at Salsa Limón after last call. The locally owned chain (a third location has just opened across from TCU) continues to score with “unapologetically” Mexico City-style tacos (not to mention giant burritos) that are always on point, and the people you meet while you’re waiting are usually a fun, boozy bunch to boot.

Fried Chicken

Readers’ choice: Lisa’s Fried Chicken, 500 University Dr Critic’s choice: Buttons Restaurant, 4701 W Fwy

Just thinking about Buttons’ juicy fried chicken and waffles plate is enough to make our stomachs growl like a truck full of grizzly bears. The hand-battered bird is perfectly crispy and as satisfying as it is indulgent, but when you eat it along with a bite of the homemade Belgian waffle, you might think you got a preview of heaven. continued on page 106

Readers’ choice: Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, 812 Main St Critic’s Top 5:

1.) Bob’s Steak and Chop House (1300 Houston St) is famous for its dry-aged cuts of beef, and the king of them all is the côte de boeuf, a 22-ounce bone-in prime rib-eye that’s lightly seasoned and perfectly marbled.

2.) Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse offers a classic steakhouse menu featuring prime beef with great flavor that’s admirably seasoned and convincingly seared. 3.) The Capital Grille (800 Main St) has all of the traditional beef cuts, like rib-eye, tenderloin, and prime rib, but what sets this downtown spot apart is its menu of adventurous dishes, like the gorgonzola and truffle-crusted New York strip with a rich cabernet reduction sauce. 4.) Newcomer Rafain Brazilian Steakhouse (2932 Crockett St) is like a meat gauntlet. The West 7th eatery specializes in uniquely Latin dishes, such as the picanha, a bacon-wrapped filet mignon cooked to perfection over an open charcoal pit –– and the staffers will just keep bringing it until you cry uncle. 5.) H3 Ranch (109 E Exchange Ave) serves tender cuts of beef that are cooked over a hickory wood grill for a smoky, mouthwatering flavor.

Soul Food

Simply put, you can’t beat Drew’s eats.

The Como soul food joint is comfy and welcoming, and its devotion to serving up fare that tastes like a home-cooked meal is top-notch. Also top-notch: pretty much everything on the menu, from fried chicken and smothered pork chops to collard greens and candied yams. And as tempting as it is to fill up on Southern comforts, do yourself a favor and save room for the pecan pie.

French Cuisine

Critic’s choice: Saint Emilion Restaurant, 3617 W 7th St

The celebrated eatery has been the gold standard for Fort Worth fine dining for three decades. The chefs apply classic techniques to top-notch ingredients to create old fashioned French cuisine with a modern twist. The quaint charm of the dining room sets a romantic mood for downright sexy food like duck l’orange and îles flottantes.

Billy’s is a little off the beaten path, but the prime beef brisket, Heritage Ranch pork, and spicy sausage make the place a destination. Pitmaster Billy Woodrich uses pecan wood to smoke his succulent meat low and slow. Diners show up in droves, and the place often sells out before the lunch hour is over.

Technically, he’s a bartender, but the man in the hat is a ubiquitous presence in this charming neighborhood bistro. For nextlevel dining, sit in his bar area, order some appetizers and his housemade sangria, and enjoy a languid night of stuffing your face.

Michael C. Foster

MICAEL PRIEST

As a shipwrecked girl pretending to a boy, Erin Hardy had the hardest role, but she nailed it.

Solo Female Dancer

Critic’s choice: Carolyn Judson

A principal dancer with Texas Ballet Theater, Judson took advantage of two huge opportunities to shine last season: as Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty and as the title character in artistic director Ben Stevenson’s The Merry Widow. Capturing the individual qualities of each woman, and showing no technical problems with either role, Judson gave two striking performances.

Solo Male Dancer

Critic’s choice: Carl Coomer

Coomer, another TBT principal, has not always excelled in character development.

His performance of Count Danilo, the favored suitor in The Merry Widow, however, opened up dramatically as well as technically, and he showed how compelling he can be when everything comes together.

Outdoor Cultural Event

Critic’s choice: Video Games Live

at Concerts in the Garden

Go ahead and debate the brow level and artistic merits of video games. We’ll be over here humming the Legend of Zelda theme, stuck in our heads since June 19, when the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra performed that tune and other classic themes (Castlevania, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tetris, and plenty of others) in front of clever visuals. That Grand Theft Auto car crashing through Frogger’s logs was a huge crowdpleaser. It might have been a muggy night, but that didn’t stop video game fans from dressing up as their favorite characters and digging the tunes. Kudos to Video Games Live honcho Tommy Tallarico and guest conductor Emmanuel Fratianni for melding high culture and pop culture in a way that was totally fun for everyone.

Museum of Science and History would take this category? Pretty high, actually, given that they snagged the Smithsonian Institution’s tribute to this cartoon animator whose work was as formidable and influential as that of any 20thcentury American painter or sculptor. In detailing the evolution of Bugs Bunny, the craftsmanship that went into his short films, and the exquisite comic timing that Jones displayed, this show was as exhilarating and enlightening as any art museum could hope for.

A great advertisement for the cultural wonders across the Atlantic, this show brought in a slew of big names like Picasso, Monet, Vermeer, Titian, and Matisse. Still, the most interesting works were the ones by lesser-known painters like John Singer Sargent’s sumptuous and enchanting “Lady Agnew of Lochnaw” and Frederic Church’s “Niagara Falls, from the American Side.”

These artistic treasures lit up the Kimbell’s Piano Pavilion this past summer.

Gallery Art Show of Last 12 Months

Readers’ choice: Bobby on Drums, Shipping & Receiving’s Tilt Room Critic’s Top 5:

1.) To photorealist Devon Nowlin, replicating pictures isn’t enough. There’s got to be some edginess, something that takes a painting beyond the frame, and with her subtle yet powerful solo show at Artspace 111, Casual Luxury Complex, Nowlin proved that there’s more to photorealism than realistic paintings of photos. On one canvas, she rendered a giant sculpture wrapped in translucent plastic, devoting attention normally reserved for, say, people’s faces or a landscape’s contours to otherwise peripheral details: folds and creases, shadows, glints of light. On other canvases, she offered houseplants backdropped by geometric patterns. And on yet others, numerous odes to “Frank,” a black-and-whitecheckered puppy of polymer clay which she made and which was pilfered from her opening (and eventually returned). As enthralling as Casual Luxury Complex was,

something tells us that this TCU alum is just getting warmed up. 2.) Talk about creepy. Testament, photographer Jennifer B. Thoreson’s solo show at Gallery 76102, would have stunned David Lynch. The heads of several family members buried beneath a mountainous pile of white fluff at a kitchen table, a man draped with fleshcolored teardrop sacks on his back, a couple lying in bed with their heads consumed by a throbbing mass of brown tendrils –– you can read whatever you want into the UTA grad’s harrowing tableaux, but for their sheer visual power, there wasn’t much that came close this past year. 3.)

Congrats to William and Pam Campbell, the husband-and-wife team who celebrated their 40th year in the art business this past year. William Campbell Contemporary Art’s anniversary show was full of all of the big names that have kept the gallery interesting and edgy since ’74, including Stephen Daly, Michel Demanche, Julie Lazarus, Mark Smith, Richard Thompson, Kevin Tolman, Cecil Touchon, and Judy Youngblood. Congrats again, y’all. 4.) A retrospective of the last 30 years of Nancy Lamb’s illustrious career, The Gang’s All Here at Artspace 111 was a tour de force of sumptuous colors and juicy yet precise lines, the titular “gang” being all of the revelers Lamb has captured in medias partay over the years. 5.) The spirit of Día de los Muertos pulsates throughout this Chilean/ German mixed-media artist’s Texas debut at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts (through Oct 10). Dipped in wax, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra’s drawings are simple yet bold, familiar yet surprising.

Performing Arts Organization

Readers’ choice: Stage West, 821 W Vickery Blvd

Art Gallery

Critic’s choice: Weiler House Fine Art Gallery, 3126 Handley Dr

Working for years as a picture framer at Adobe Art Gallery in the Stockyards, Bill Ryan always harbored a goal to open his own art space one day. Several years ago, he brought us Weiler House. Situated in a twostory frame house built in 1906, which is a work of art in itself, Weiler offers paintings, glass, watercolors, etchings, woodblock prints, jewelry, bronzes, and other items created both locally and nationally.

5

Top ArTworks 1.) The real queen of “Royal Crown Neat” is the artist.

Nancy Lamb is the most popular (and, arguably, beloved) Fort Worth painter of all time –– and for good reason. Her signature style –– mostly bird’s-eye views of high society in syrupy brushstrokes –– is unique and immediately identifiable.

And, y’know, lovable.

2.) Surprised no one thought of this sooner. Like a set piece from a futuristic Kubrick flick from his mid-’70s heyday, this one about a religious cult in space, the anchor of The Idyll, Ryder Richards’ solo show at Carillon Gallery (Tarrant County College South), is simultaneously creepy, intriguing, and uplifting. Hail, Lord Mars!

3.) The centerpiece of Bobby on Drums, a spring group show/party at Shipping & Receiving’s cavernous Tilt Room, Jay Wilkinson’s giant homeless guy represents a huge step forward locally.

Simply put, not all art in galleries has to pair well with the sofa. The bigger, weirder, and less “functional,” perhaps the better.

4.) A little Old World, a little edgy, Winter Rusiloski’s “Fractured Vessel” rocks and roars. It was part of the Fall Gallery Night group show at Artspace 111, where, on Fri, Oct 16, the TCU alum’s new solo exhibition, Magnificent Tempest, will open.

5.) The best part about Devon Nowlin’s “Don’t Deny Your Heart” is that there’s a sarcastic joke in there somewhere, but you just can’t put your finger on it. Whimsical yet caustic, this great conversation piece stays with you.

Critic’s choice: Loli Kantor

Locally, Kantor may be best remembered for her series of Hip Pocket Theatre actors and sets that hung at the Arlington Museum of Art over a decade ago, but the Fort Worth native who has shown at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Photography Museum of Lishui, China; and the Lviv National Museum in Ukraine received some New York Times love for her new photobook, Beyond the Forest: Jewish Presence in Eastern Europe, 2004-2012.

Theater Troupe

Readers’ choice: Stage West Critic’s choice: Fort Worth Opera

The more you think about it, the more sense it makes. The troupe’s compressed season has led to productions of consistently high quality in terms of singing and staging, and its commitment to putting on new works has brought it back from the brink

Critic’s choice: Jim Covault, Red

As one of only two actors performing in Stage West’s drama about Mark Rothko, it wasn’t hard for Covault to own the spotlight. Even so, the troupe’s pillar did tremendous work conveying the artist’s truculence and brooding over his integrity and his relationship to the world. His unquiet longing for peace of mind was the overwhelming impression left by this production.

Female Actor

Critic’s choice: Erin Hardy, Twelfth Night

In Artes de la Rosa’s Brazilian-themed musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy, Hardy had the toughest role as the shipwrecked girl disguised as a boy trying to make her way through a strange new world. She not only captured all of the layers of this heroine’s deceptions and inner life but also brought the house down with her rendition of Gloria Estefan’s “Coming Out of the Dark.”

Brenda Withers’ weird, funny, postmodern take on Miguel de Cervantes’ novel brought the most ingenious set all year to local theater, so much so that Amphibian Stage Productions had to warn its audience not to take smartphone pictures of the set during the performance. Despite its flaws, this show captured the novel’s questing spirit in stark and moving terms.

Show at Bass Hall in Last 12 Months

Readers’ choice: Dirty Dancing Critic’s choice: Fort Worth Youth Orchestra

by Brahms and Poulenc. Kholodenko’s technical wizardry blended gorgeously with the unique personalities of the orchestra musicians.

Critic’s choice: Still by Logen Cure

There’s something about poetry that makes the heart feel less lonely and lets the body know that it’s not alone in its torment. Tarrant County College advisor and instructor Cure writes about love and coming of age in a way that’s full of sorrow and metered grace. From Still, the poet’s third book, “Landmine” is exemplary: “I learned to cradle / My body in my own arms, / To keep my distance, / Stifle yawns and sneezes. / I never knew my ribs were involved in every movement until they hurt, until she decided the best way / To my heart would be straight through my chest.”

Filmmaker

In the movies, timing is everything. And for self-taught filmmaker and writer Bill McAdams Jr., his filmic exploration of racial violence in small-town Texas may spark a national conversation that’s long overdue. Filmed in Aledo, Gallows Road stars Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters, Kevin Hercules Sorbo, and McAdams, 45, who has worked on set with giants like

Locally Made Film Critic’s choice: Windsor

First-time producer and director Porter Farrell wrote a script, corralled a cast and crew, and shot a flick on a tight budget in nearby Gainesville last year. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? Wrong. He wrote the script especially for Fort Worth-based actor Barry Corbin, who gave a powerful and charming performance as on old guy battling cancer while also serving as a mentor to a handful of high school kids. Windsor is funny and heartwarming, features several of young Hollywood’s rising stars such as Quinn Shephard and Nick Krause, and won the Best Narrative Feature Award at the 13th Annual Garden State Film Festival in New Jersey in March.

Hayao Miyazaki last year that it expanded on the topic this year. The event paid tribute to more than just one filmmaker this past August and in doing so showed off the visual beauty, narrative complexity, wild imagination, and dramatic power of the animators of Japan.

Art Collective

Critic’s choice: Bobby on Drums

The brainchild of Fairmount artists Jay Wilkinson and Jeremy Joel, Bobby on Drums was a wildly ambitious charity bash at the end of May, turning Shipping & Receiving’s spacious Tilt Room into a gallery of sight and sound, showcasing a variety of works across multiple media.

Aside from painting, photography, and a reactive sonic installation by The Theater Fire’s James Talambas, outsized sculpture ruled the day. Anyone who visited probably hasn’t forgotten the giant, wooden daddy longlegs looming overhead, nor the even bigger sculpture of an oddly lifelike homeless man that dominated the room. Wilkinson and Joel, who have been active participants in the Near Southside’s artistic underground for years, are kicking open the doors for a host of Fort Worth’s unsung artists to make their mark.

Outsider Artist

TBT began its season with a sumptuous revival of Tchaikovsky’s epic, with sets and costumes by Broadway’s Desmond Heeley and choreography by artistic director Ben Stevenson after the Russian original. The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, under the splendid direction of Michael Moricz, was in the pit for the wonderful dancing. TBT is a regional company but has world-class talent.

Critic’s choice: Jay Wilkinson

Public Art

Readers’ choice: Cowtown Bowling Palace, 4333 River Oaks Blvd Critic’s choice: Barcadia, 816 Matisse Dr

Critic’s choice: Wings of the City, various locations downtown

It’s too bad that Fort Worth Public Art’s most recent endeavor, a series of sculptures

by Mexican artist Jorge Marίn installed at nine locations throughout downtown, was only temporary. The surreal winged figures displayed a sense of daringness that went far beyond the Texas stars made of cowboy hats that you often see in public here, and their human scale encouraged visitors and residents to pose alongside them. It was a refreshing display of imagination in a city that too often leans on the cowboy side of its “Cowboys & Culture” slogan.

Film Series

Critic’s choice: Story, Style and Character: The Art of Japanese Animation

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth had such success with its festival devoted to

Wilkinson is at ease in most any medium, and his creative output ranges from paintings to sculpture, from the absurdly small to the towering. Fort Worth South Inc. recently named him its first ArtSouth resident.

Bowling Alley/Arcade

Barcadia’s concept is so simple it’s brilliant: If boozed-up adults at bars are going to act like children anyway, they might as well relive their misspent youth. The West 7th bar has about a dozen ’80s-era video games plus skeeball, pool, and other traditional arcade must-haves. It’s just like when you were a kid, except you’re not spending 14 hours in your room trying to get to the next level of Asteroids, and you can imbibe openly.

Day Trip

Critic’s choice: Jacksboro Highway

Most locals have a tale or two of wild nights spent in a Jacksboro Highway juke joint.

The roadway looms large in Fort Worth lore. Also known as Texas 199, the stretch runs northwest through Fort Worth and continued on page 122

goes about another 50 miles before ending.

Driving it takes you through various small towns and farmland pastures, past a huge sign outside of Springtown that says, “Land of Goshen,” and on to Jacksboro, a quaint little town that serves as the highway’s namesake. Grab a chicken-fried steak at the Green Frog Restaurant before heading back to Fort Worth.

Green Space

Critic’s choice: Japanese Garden,

When you need some instant tranquility in your life, nothing beats a $5 visit to the 7.5-acre Japanese Garden in the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. Your troubles vanish the minute you begin strolling the cobblestoned path down to the koi pond, home to hundreds of these huge ornamental varieties of carp. The garden is lush, the design makes it feel even larger than it is, and peace pervades.

Urban Redevelopment/ Smart Growth Critic’s choice: Six Points

a city-designated urban village this year, and while there are still a few reactionary neighbors who have done their utmost to block anything new or at least exciting, signs of realizing the economic and cultural promise hinted at a decade ago are showing like bluebonnets out of cracks of an abandoned parking lot. For one thing, the ’hood overlaps with the Riverside Arts District, itself a creative force in the community, and additions like Born Late Records and Tattoos are giving the area the counter-culture vibe that attracts young people. That it is sitting on a $1.5 million federal improvement grant doesn’t hurt either.

Six Points marked its 10th anniversary as

Example of New Architecture

Critic’s choice: Fun on the Run Paintball Park, 2621 Roberts Cut Off Rd

When the Creamer family asked Fort Worth architect Bart Shaw to design the centerpiece for their popular paintball complex, they wanted him to build something that was a cut above the prefab sheds that are the industry standard.

The result of their collaboration won a 2014 Citation Award from the Fort Worth chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The two-story tilt-panel

Example of Public Architecture

in one of the fastest growing areas in town.

By putting down stakes in a revitalized warehouse smack in the middle of the South Main Street area, Taco Heads is the first eatery to open in the blossoming neighborhood just south of downtown and not far from the bustling Fairmount.

Place to Skateboard

Critic’s choice: Roanoke Skate Critic’s choice: Tom Vandergriff Park Civil Courts Building, 100 N Calhoun St Along with its interesting culinary claim This new structure manages to pull off the tricky balancing act of embracing both the contemporary and the historic. The Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building’s gracefully curved front facade and clean styling look modern, but its red brick and pink granite pay respect to downtown’s vintage fabric. The building defers to the landmark Tarrant County Courthouse to the west while establishing its own identity: neither too staid nor too flashy.

As a bonus, the construction of the new building meant the demolition of the old, which rid downtown of one of its ugliest structures. Its only good parts –– a series of sculptures of the angels of justice –– were removed and installed on the new building.

Wins all around.

Rebirth/Relocation/ Reopening

Critic’s choice: Taco Heads, 119 S Main St

Sarah Castillo’s outstanding food truck has spawned a new brick-and-mortar location,

–– “Unique Dining Capital of Texas” –– Roanoke also boasts a sophisticated concrete skate park, featuring some 20,000 square feet of carve-ready bowls, rails, steps, and ramps. As an added bonus, the publically/privately funded skate park is easy on the eyes –– some of that concrete topography could pass for modern outdoor sculpture, though the tricks and lines performed by local skaters are the real art.

Place to Take Your Kids Readers’ choice: Fort Worth Zoo, 1989 Colonial Pkwy Critic’s choice: Flight Deck Trampoline Park, 7751 Scott St

Who doesn’t love a trampoline? Why settle for one when you can walk into a sea of them? Flight Deck will wear your kids out and get them to bed early. Hundreds of connected trampolines provide hours of flight for children and even the big kid inside all parents. Go for an afternoon with the family or reserve a space for a party.

Happy Hour

Readers’ choice: Bar Louie, 2973 W 7th St Critic’s choice: Upper 90 on College, 961 W Magnolia Av

From 2 to 7pm Mon-Fri, the Near Southside bar offers $2.50 wells and domestic bottles, $3 16-oz. domestic drafts, $4 swirl margaritas and wines by the glass, and a complimentary nacho bar.

And from 4 to 5pm, U90 makes everything half-price.

Bar Bar

Readers’ choice: The Boiled Owl Tavern, 909 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Sunshine Bar, 902 W Division St, Arl

Sure, the booths and barstools are a little

worn. A cloud of cigarette smoke hangs in the air like the place is being fumigated for fleas the size of small birds. But there’s not an ounce of pretension in this dive’s nicotine-stained embrace. The ’shine serves good drinks at honest prices, and the place boasts one of the friendliest bunch of regulars in town. If you’re looking for authenticity, this Division Street gem has been mostly unchanged since the Carter administration.

Overall Drinking Establishment

Critic’s choice: The Grotto, 517 University Dr

Whether you’re there to see a show or shoot the breeze, The Grotto is as comfy a lounge as you could want. It’s kind of old, so it carries that ’80s carpet-bar vibe, and the joint is split into two sections, one for

breathing and live music (and various forms of live comedy), the other for cigarettes, and billiards. The Grotto has a pretty sweet little patio, too, as well as a roster of likable bartenders who are glad to see you.

Bartender

Readers’ choice: Les Bennett, Chimera Brewing Company, 1001 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Megan McClinton, Thompson’s, 900 Houston St

Given that Thompson’s cocktails are exquisite, it takes a commensurately skilled bartender to master their creation and presentation. Megan McClinton slings Thompson’s drinks with an air of understated flair. She’s always on point with a recommendation when you don’t know what you want, and she’s also great

at whipping up on-the-fly drinks that make sense.

Cocktail Lounge

Readers’ choice: The Usual, 1408 W Magnolia Av Critic’s choice: Thompson’s

Inspired by the downtown bookstore that gave the bar its name, Thompson’s literature-centric décor (and secret door leading to the downstairs lounge) are so signature that they might make you forget that the libations here are just as, um, novel.

Titled after famous fiction (and nonfiction, like the Killing Pablo, made with Tequila Cabeza, maraschino liqueur, and housemade jalapeño simple syrup), Thompson’s cocktails are made with fresh ingredients, many of them whipped up in-house.

Add to these delicious concoctions the smoldering sophistication of comfortable continued on page 128

leather seating and shelves and shelves of books, and you’ll swear you were made to enjoy the finer things in life. At least until last call.

Pub

Readers’ choice: Ye Olde Bull & Bush, 2300 Montgomery St Critic’s choice: The Chat Room Pub, 1263 W Magnolia Av

Almost always crowded and joyfully boisterous, the Chat has been a Near Southside institution for years now. The lived-in environs and live-in characters are as welcoming as low lighting and a cold beer on a hot afternoon. The bartenders are always happy to see you and fast with the drinks, the billiards action is hot, and the singles are ready to mingle, though even the folks who are spoken for are at the Chat to party. It’s a place where everyone knows everyone, and someone will probably buy you a drink. Be sure to return the favor, or at least share a bite of your sammy from the Gorgonzilla grilled cheese truck parked by the patio.

Biker Bar

Critic’s choice: MacGyver’s, 4276 FM 1187, Burleson

It’s a little off the beaten path, but so what? You’re a biker. Catching a breeze on 35 South and turning onto RendonCrowley Road toward Mansfield is a great excuse to hop on your hog. The great bartenders, tarp-covered beer garden, pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, and lots of bike parking make it the best. There’s also dancing, karaoke, and ice-cold beer, and the burgers are fantastic.

Readers’ choice: Rainbow Lounge, 651 S Jennings Av Critic’s choice: Best Friends Club, 2620 E Lancaster Av

This Lancaster gem is a great place to pick up a closet case who is “just there to dance” or hang at the bar and chill out. The environment is unpretentious, the drinks cheap, and the staff super-friendly.

Wine Bar

Critic’s choice: Kent and Co Wines, 1101 W Magnolia Av

The best thing about Kent and Co is the large selection –– by the bottle or the glass.

The worst thing about Kent and Co is, well, the large selection –– good luck deciding what you want. Fortunately, the staff is knowledgeable and willing to answer any seemingly dumb questions, provided you’re OK with getting wine advice from someone dressed as a mechanic. The snacks are unpretentious and tasty, but if charcuterie boards aren’t your thing, Kent and Co happily lets you bring in your own food. The patio is comfortable any time of the year, and even your four-legged friends are welcome.

Hotel Bar

Critic’s choice: Whiskey and Rye, Omni Fort Worth Hotel, 1300 Houston St

Intimate yet spacious at the same time, like a sports bar and a speakeasy all rolled into one, this downtown spot has a lot more going on than the name might suggest. He can have a whiskey flight while she sips a Champagne Cobbler. Or vice versa. No one’s judging here. Even the bar snacks are above average.

Sports Bar

Readers’ choice: Upper 90 on College Critic’s choice: Frankie’s Sports Bar, 425 W 3rd St.

This downtown location has been campaigning for the honor on social media, and one has to admit that they have a solid case. Their comprehensive menu includes a Bloody Mary bar on the weekends, cheap prices at lunch, and specials on various drinks every day of the week. Needless to say, they have a plethora of TVs to watch whatever sports you might want, including a row of comfy chairs and sofas in front of their biggest screen.

Gentlemen’s Club

Readers’ choice: Bucks Cabaret, 2345 Meacham Blvd Critic’s choice: Bucks Cabaret

Bucks knows it’s all about the ladies. And the girls here are hot, talented, and friendly.

And have we mentioned “hot”? Well, it’s true. And it’s also true that Bucks’ team of pro bouncers keeps the jackassery to a minimum to ensure everyone has a good, fun, safe time. Bucks also offers daily drink specials, $6 lunches, and VIP packages starting at $400.

beer sweepstakes, and this national chain that has been in Arlington for some time finally set up shop in the Cultural District.

Hundreds of beers from all over the globe sporting silly names and exotic ingredients (like Dogfish Head’s new Choc Lobster, made with, yes, chocolate and lobster) are on tap or in bottles here.

Sure, you can try to order a vodka martini or some fruit-infused variant, but you may get a funny look from the bartender. Here, the ’tinis are gin-based and stirred with a splash of dry vermouth. They’re never lippuckeringly sour or overly sweet. They’re always just right. Plus, the straight-ahead jazz on the radio provides the perfect complement to your classy, and expertly made, libation.

Bar Décor

Readers’ choice: Joe T. Garcia’s, 2201 N Commerce St Critic’s choice: Shaw’s Patio Bar & Grill, 1050 W Magnolia Av

Continuing in the tradition of excellent margaritas not found at Mexican restaurants, Shaw’s are for purists: They’re not blue or green but cloudy-clear like an overcast day. That’s because they’re made with three simple ingredients: tequila, lime, and a little sweetness. Shaw’s ’ritas also come in pint glasses (salted or not), and the price is right: $4 during happy hour (3-7pm Tue, Thu-Fri), $5 all day Saturday.

Critic’s choice: The Boiled Owl Tavern

Some bars go for super-sleek modernity, and some try to make you feel as comfortable as your favorite armchair.

The Boiled Owl Tavern is decidedly in the latter category. In fact, with the variety of vintage furniture on hand, your favorite armchair may actually be there.

The Owl’s dark, earthy color scheme, wide array of vintage concert posters, cozy size, and angular mid-century jukebox all contribute to the feeling of something aged to a rich patina.

Bar Bathroom

We don’t want to say how many times we’ve been to this bathroom, because it might reveal an unhealthy inclination toward wine. And drinking. But vast experience has shown that Kent & Co’s is always clean and stocked full of paper towels and

Readers’ choice: Landmark Bar & Kitchen, 3008 Bledsoe St Critic’s choice: Fixture, 401 W Magnolia Av

Critic’s choice: Kent & Co Wines

Country Music Bar

Critic’s choice: Thirsty Armadillo, 120 W Exchange Blvd

With décor that looks unchanged since the Reagan administration and a dance floor that’s feels as big as West Texas, the Thirsty Armadillo is as prime a spot for country music as they come. Some of Billy Bob’s biggest local headliners (Casey Donahew, Randy Rogers, and Eli Young, just to name a few) started out at the Armadillo, probably playing to the same crowd of boot-scooters who have been showing up there every weekend for years. But even if your two-step is bumpier than a pair of ostrich skin boots, there’s plenty of space to watch the pros. And the ladies behind the bar treat you like family.

Open-Mic Night (Music)

Critic’s choice: The Moon Tower, 2811 S Cherry Ln

Headed up by Cosmic Trigger frontman Tyrel Choat, The Moon Tower’s acoustic open-mic (9pm-12am Thu) is full of good music (from pros and amateurs alike) and cheap drafts. No cover.

Open-Mic Night (Comedy)

Critic’s choice: Hyena’s, 425 Commerce St

You know what’s funny about Hyena’s open-mic night? A few of the comedians!

Honestly, if a single person earns some laughs at an open-mic, the night is a success. Luckily, Hyena’s usually has some genuine talent bobbing in the sea of amateur schadenfreude. Sure, there are plenty of yuksters to make you cringe, but the ratio of awful to promising at the comedy club’s Thursday night joke jam weighs enough on the side of actual laughter to make it a worthy destination.

Nontraditional Music Venue

Critic’s choice: Dreamy Life Records & Music, 1310 W Allen Av

A favorite of Fort Worth’s music scene, Dreamy Life has been through some growing pains, as they’ve relocated more than once in their brief existence before settling in at their current location, the equally grassroots Fairmount Neighborhood Library. Besides selling

Band Name

Critic’s choice: Tame … Tame & Quiet

vinyl and cassettes, Dreamy Life has put on a series of interesting live music events, pairing bands and solo performers with documentary screenings and readings by music writers. It’s an engaging mix of music and culture that stands apart from the usual shows in bars and clubs.

Karaoke

Readers’ choice: Sarah’s Place, 5223 Camp Bowie Blvd Critic’s choice: The Boiled Owl Tavern

Think karaoke is for the olds? Guess again, because the Owl’s weekly karaoke party (9pm to close Mon) is a riot for drunk crooners of all ages. Sure, it skews a little on the young side, but it’s routinely packed with people ready to belt out a wide selection of hits and misses. The line to the mics gets long, so you might want to sign up early. Otherwise, you’ll be left singing Spice Girls songs to yourself on the ride home.

Oh, hush. Not only is the name unique, but it’s like a slap in the face once you roll into the club and are greeted by the most blistering, dynamic, and creatively multilayered prog-punk you’ve ever heard.

After a long hiatus, the quartet is recording its third long player, this one with indemand producer Britt Robisheaux at the new Cloudland Recording Studio. Get ready to receive da noise.

Local Music Show of Last 12 Months

Readers’ choice: Polyphonic Spree at Bar Louie Critic’s choice: Summerthon at Shipping & Receiving

Designed to be a celebration of all things #scuzzysummer (think: sunburns, sweat, day-drinking ’til exhaustion, bikinis, Speedos, and personal watercraft), Summerthon was the brainchild of local music collective WIZARDVIZION and Shipping & Receiving, turning the venue’s outdoor patio and stage into a delightfully tacky summer wonderland of aboveground pools, Jell-O shots, swimsuits, and continued on page 137

party-hardy revelers conjuring memories of ’90s-era MTV spring breaks. But besides nailing the vibe, the show featured a crosscounty multi-genre lineup designed to maximize the good times. You got rock from Son of Stan, Bummer Vacation, Duell, and Denton’s Pearl Earl and rap from Dallas MCs Sam Lao, -topic, and Blue The Misfit, plus Squanto’s electro-panic freakouts and DJs throughout the day –– all for the mere cost of free. In the era when adjectives like “craft” and “curated” rule the day, it was exciting to see a party that took “low rent” as a compliment.

National Music Show of Last 12 Months

Readers’ Choice: Rolling Stones at AT&T Stadium Critic’s Choice: Rolling Stones

Since at least the Steel Wheels tour (circa 1989), we have been warned that each local Stones appearance was probably the last we would live to see. It’s a great way to build some hype, but sooner or later it is going to be the truth. The original bad boys of rock ’n’ roll are now well into their 70s. Of course, that just makes their June appearance here all the more impressive –– Mick, Keith, and Charlie delivered a barrage of iconic favorites with the kind of relentless energy, endurance, and showmanship that would be envied by many men half their age.

Recording Studio

Critic’s choice: Cloudland Recording Studio

Britt Robisheaux finally has a home.

With help from Dreamy Life Records, a collaboration between two F-Dub labels –– Dreamy Soundz and Lo-Life –– the producer has just opened Cloudland.

FOGG, Vincent Neil Emerson, Loafers, Jack Thunder & The Road Soda, and Teenage Sexx are just a few of the badasses who’ve already come through. On tap now is the long-awaited third album by Tame … Tame & Quiet, a.k.a. one of the greatest underground bands ever to call the 817 home. In the immortal words of Sun Ra, “Space is the place.” Especially if you’re looking for analog brilliance in the Fort.

The downtown Latin bar gets this honor for its Tajín-seasoned popcorn, which comes free of charge to anyone who sits down. The amalgamation of chile powder, salt, and dehydrated lime juice gives the corn a combination of spicy, salty, and sour flavors that proves highly addictive. Whether you’re ordering beer or tequila, the popcorn makes the perfect complement.

DIY Venue

Critic’s choice: Shipping & Receiving, 201 S Calhoun St

Yeah, we know it’s not a celebrated, integral community hub that puts on free or donation-based all-ages shows. But in

the wake of The Where House’s demise, Shipping & Receiving has filled the role of a place with a lot of transformable square footage, from art shows like the Apples New Year’s Eve party and May’s Bobby on Drums to concerts like WIZARDVIZION’s Summerthon. If you have the imagination, the crew, and the resources, S&R will give you the space to realize your dreams. Then there’s Niles City Sound, a little pop-up studio loaded with vintage gear whose name you might have seen while reading about Leon Bridges. It’s where the Fort Worth singer-songwriter recorded his major label debut, and, yep, it’s also at Shipping & Receiving.

shows that are loud, sweaty, and fun. The week of SXSW is the best time to swing by.

Place to:

Get Sidetracked

Critic’s choice: Thompson’s

Located in an early 1900s-built building and named after a previous tenant (Thompson’s Bookstore), Thompson’s is truly more than meets the eye and has a lot of bells and whistles designed to ensnare you. First, you’ll be taken in by the homey interior, lined with bookcases that are stocked with actual books that you may enjoy while lounging in one of the bar’s plush chairs. Read the literatureinfluenced bar menu, contemplating whether you “get” the references (if you brought a date, of course you do!), while your bartender tenderly mixes your drink using all sorts of fun tools and ingredients mostly made in-house.

Have a Conversation Critic’s choice: The Usual

The bar counter is a little crowded, but the furniture in this dark, cavernous, swanky Near Southside lounge is so spread out, you could heatedly “interrogate” the Foucault–Habermas debate or hypothesize over the ending of The Shining without any other customers even noticing. And The Usual’s signature cocktails are so delicious, you might end up shouting down objectors (dumbasses, all) to Thomas Pynchon’s Nobel worthiness without having the cops called on you.

Time-Travel without Going Anywhere

Critic’s choice: Jazz Café, 2504 Montgomery St

On a street that’s increasingly being defined by an encroaching megachurch on one side and a Bass family-led arena project on the other, Jazz Café is a surviving outpost of an older, funkier Fort. The charmingly ramshackle building houses both delicious Mediterranean food and one of the city’s longest-running under-the-radar music scenes, as the sounds of live freeform jazz performed by a rotating cast of musicians

Seat for PeopleWatching

Critic’s choice: Starbucks, Montgomery Plaza, 2600 W 7th St

Students, bicyclists, white-collar workers, hipsters, milfs, entrepreneurs, blue-collar types –– you’re liable to see any or all of the above here. It’s like a cult of pretty people looking for caffeine kicks.

Meet Someone of the Opposite Sex

Readers’ choice: Reservoir, 1001 Foch St Critic’s choice: Central Market, 4651 W Fwy

It’s surprising there aren’t shoppers having sex in the aisles at Central Market.

The store is practically designed for bringing people together. The deli section draws customers to browse and discuss important issues, such as whether celery should be added to a tuna sandwich. The salad bar requires people to stand elbow to elbow, shoveling spinach and such into a plastic bowl, providing ample opportunity for interaction for good pickup lines.

Here’s one for the girls: “Boy, if you were a vegetable, you’d be a cute-cumber.” And for the guys: “Can I reheat my eggroll in your microwave?” *blank stare* “No, seriously. You’re hogging the microwave.

Move over.”

Meet Someone of the Same Sex

Readers’ choice: Rainbow Lounge Critic’s choice: church

This would have been an unthinkable pick even just a few years ago, when the only out homosexual you’d be likely to find at a church in this part of the country would be the choir director. Fortunately, the breakneck speed at which the LGBT+ community has won mainstream acceptance in recent years has pushed many local congregations to take an explicit stance on a topic that used to be taboo.

Many area churches, including Celebration Community Church, Broadway Baptist Church, University Christian Church, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Galileo Church, have made a point of welcoming everyone with open arms. And if you find that special guy or girl in the Eucharist line, you can finally tell Mom the truth about where you met. continued on page 141

Start at the bar around 5:30pm. It’s classy enough to impress but casual enough for skinny jeans, and it overlooks a life-size sculpture of two silver trees near the pond, a great conversation starter (and awkwardsilence solution). Now that you’ve got a drink to calm the butterflies, you can decide if this first date could turn into more. If so, partake in an appetizer from the Café and maybe even catch a flick.

You’ll seem cultured and cool without being pretentious, a major turnoff, even if you’re turned on by Anselm Kiefer.

Have a Nightcap

Start Your Evening

Critic’s choice: Puckett’s Billiards, 5707 Crowley Rd

Fort Worth certainly has no shortage of great bars. Some are loud, some are smoky, some have great live music, some have terrible live music (or karaoke). But for a nightcap, we prefer small, dark, and quiet. As the Omni’s oft-overlooked bar, Wine Thief meets the three chief criteria and more, with excellent service and a wonderfully curated wine list. And by

Whatever it is, Louie’s doing it right. Along with a summer concert series that brought some huge regional stars to town, including Polyphonic Spree, Bob Schneider, Bobby Patterson, Reverend Horton Heat, and (Fort Worth’s) Vaden Todd Lewis, the massive West 7th bar/restaurant has an exceptional happy hour ($3.25 drafts, $5.25 martinis 4-7pm Mon-Fri) and a crowd of attractive yuppies to keep the vibe buzzing

Critic’s choice: Wine Thief, Omni Fort Worth Hotel

Critic’s choice: Bar Louie

Critic’s choice: Kent & Co Wines

Sipping away the sunshine is a blast at Kent & Co –– the wine and beer are reasonably priced, the service is quick and friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and the customers are chill. There’s no hard liquor, which is just as well for day drinking. You can even bring your own food to soak up the booze, ensuring that you’re fit to carry on with some serious night drinking.

Drink Alone

Critic’s choice: Café Modern

If you’re drinking solo every night, you might need to read our recommendation for best place to meet someone of the same/different sex, but sometimes it’s nice to have a date with a glass of scotch and unwind in peace and quiet. Café Modern offers a not-too-raucous setting with a view of the museum’s reflection pool. The spacious dining area has a full-service bar and makes for the perfect setting to get lost in your thoughts.

From cheap happy hour prices ($2.50 wells and $2 longnecks) to a whopping 18 billiards tables, Puckett’s is the spot in south Fort Worth to sink bank shots and shoot the breeze. And if you feel a breeze while you’re there, you may have just had an encounter with Puckett’s resident specter, the ghost of U.J. Puckett, the famed pool hustler for whom the joint is named.

Sophia Ceballos’ untitled work is part of the Exhibitionists show.

15 Hours

This week’s spotlighted event is called Exhibitionists, but you will be either relieved or disappointed to find out that there won’t be large numbers of naked people running around. No, this is a pop-up event being put on

by Exhibitionists Fort Worth, an art collective made up of employees at the city’s illustrious art museums. It’s going on this Saturday into the wee hours of Sunday morning at Shipping & Receiving Bar. Some 60 artists will be gathered here to show their work, so you can see the mordantly funny street photography

by Jeremy Pesina and the paintings by Jerry Wenninger, heavily influenced by the great Mexican muralists of the early 20th century. There’s also a great bill lined up, headlined by the experimental goth-metal sounds of Pinkish Black, the doom-laden altbluegrass outfit Dove Hunter, and math-rocking Cleanup. An event can’t go on this long without offering food, and the hors d’oeuvre photos that the group has posted to its Facebook page look tasty indeed. Proceeds from the evening will benefit The Art Station of Fort Worth, an organization that administers art therapy to people who can’t afford it.

Exhibitionists runs 11am Sat-2am Sun at Shipping & Receiving Bar, 201 S Calhoun St, FW. Tickets are $8-12. Call 817-4760610.

Cecil Touchon’s “Post Dogmatist Painting #788”

P L AY I N G

Ant-Man (PG-13) The weakest Marvel movie since The Incredible Hulk. The film stars Michael Douglas as a scientist who secretly invents a suit that shrinks its wearer to insect size while keeping his or her strength, and Paul Rudd as a cat burglar he recruits to help him keep his former protégé (Corey Stoll) from weaponizing the technology. The movie isn’t funny, and Rudd’s performance is atypically off; he seems too nice to be a criminal. The villain is uninteresting, the shrinking is done without any sense of wonder, and the subplot involving the burglar’s young daughter (Abby Ryder Fortson) is sloppy sentimentalism. There are moments of visual wit here, but the storytelling and characterization aren’t up to the standards that Marvel has set for its comic book movies. Also with Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Anthony Mackie, Judy Greer, Michael Peña, T.I., David Dastmalchian, Martin Donovan, Hayley Attwell, John Slattery, and uncredited cameos by Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans.

Black Mass (R) Deeply ordinary, though it tries so hard to be very serious and important. Johnny Depp plays notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, who bands together with his politician brother (Benedict Cumberbatch) and their childhood friendturned-FBI agent (Joel Edgerton) to make Whitey a bureau informant. Depp is a sleek, vampiric killer here, but the rest of the high-powered cast has little to do besides try on their Boston accents. Director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) directs this thing tediously, cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi seems allergic to anything that looks good, and composer Junkie XL scores this like a Wagner opera. This thing aims for epic tragedy, yet its hero comes off looking like a deluded ninny for trusting in this group of gangsters.

Also with Peter Sarsgaard, Kevin Bacon, Dakota Johnson, Jesse Plemons, Rory Cochrane, Julianne Nicholson, David Harbour, Corey Stoll, W. Earl Brown,

Bill Camp, Juno Temple, and Adam Scott.

Captive (PG-13) Kate Mara stars in this drama based on the true story of a single mother taken hostage by an escaped convicted killer (David Oyelowo). Also with Michael Kenneth Williams, Mimi Rogers, Leonor Varela, and Jessica Oyelowo.

Fantastic Four (PG-13) The floor has been lowered for Marvel Comics adaptations, and by lowered, I mean dropped about 20 stories. Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Miles Teller play four young scientists who travel to another dimension and return with superpowers. The character development and the sense of wonder that accompanies the powers are missing here, and it takes forever just to get going. Director Josh Trank (Chronicle) blamed the studio for the mess this is; for certain someone screwed it up. Somehow, after the two previous failed adaptations, they got this wrong again. Also with Toby Kebbell, Reg E. Cathey, Tim Blake Nelson, and Dan Castellaneta.

Everest (R) Baltasár Kormákur directs this thriller about a climbing party ambushed by a deadly snowstorm on Mt. Everest. Starring Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robin Wright, Sam Worthington, John Hawkes, Jason Clarke, Martin Henderson, Michael Kelly, Naoko Mori, Emily Watson, and Keira Knightley.

The Gift (R) The Australian actor Joel Edgerton makes an impressive debut as a writer-director in this Hollywood thriller. At first it seems like the story of a well-to-do Los Angeleno (Jason Bateman) and his wife (Rebecca Hall) being stalked by his former highschool classmate (played by Edgerton himself) after returning to SoCal, but then the filmmaker pulls a nicely executed bait-and-switch on us and reverses our sympathies. It’s hard to discuss this further without giving too much away, but Bateman and Hall are close to their best here. This feels like one of those French chillers that packs a nasty sting at the very end. Also with Allison Tolman, David Denman, Busy Philipps, Katie Aselton, Susan May Pratt, Beau Knapp, Wendell Pierce, and Nash Edgerton.

Grandma (R) Lily Tomlin stars in this comedy as an elderly lesbian who takes a road trip with her granddaughter (Julia Garner) to get her an abortion. Also with Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Laverne Cox, Nat Wolff, Sarah Burns, John Cho, Sam Elliott, and the late Elizabeth Peña.

Inside Out (PG) After a dip in form during this decade, Pixar is now back to producing masterpieces. This animated film takes place mostly in the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias), as her primary emotions Joy and Sadness (voiced by Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith) are stranded in the recesses of her brain and must find their way back to headquarters before remaining emotions Anger, Disgust, and Fear (voiced by Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, and Bill Hader) ruin her life. Under Pete Docter’s direction, the animators’ imaginations run riot depicting Riley’s mindscape and invent brilliant gags about abstract thoughts and the subconscious. A deeper brilliance lies in the way Joy comes to realize that Sadness is an essential part of Riley’s life. Pixar tried making a movie about a girl before in Brave, and it failed. This time, they got it right. Additional voices

by Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan, Paula Poundstone, Bobby Moynihan, Frank Oz, Rashida Jones, Flea, and John Ratzenberger.

Jurassic World (PG-13) The dinosaurs are fascinating

and the people are boring, but then, why should this be any different from the 1993 original? In this fourth film, the dinosaurs are housed at a well-established theme park that turns to genetically engineering new dinosaurs to keep attracting customers, and it’s up to a raptor handler (Chris Pratt) and a scientist (Bryce Dallas Howard) with two so-cute-you’ll-barf nephews (Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson) visiting the park to save everyone. Director/co-writer Colin Trevorrow is so busy shoehorning in references to Steven Spielberg’s original that he ignores how sexist this thing is. There’s no shame in Trevorrow’s inability to equal Spielberg’s flair, but the sense of wonder that pervaded his Safety Not Guaranteed is nowhere in evidence here. I was bored. Also with Irrfan Khan, Vincent D’Onofrio, Judy Greer, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, Lauren Lapkus, and B.D. Wong.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (PG-13) It looks fantastic, but what is it for? Guy Ritchie’s movie version of the spoofy 1960s British spy TV show stars Henry Cavill as a suave CIA agent who teams up with a KGB rival (Armie Hammer) and a Nazi scientist’s daughter (Alicia Vikander) to prevent a group of former Nazis from building a nuclear weapon. The cast, the Roman setting, the Kodachrome colors, and Joanna Johnston’s costumes all look absolutely groovy, but the movie is neither funny enough as a comedy nor works as a spy thriller. Ritchie’s sense of action is off, and only rarely does he achieve the insouciant, carefree vibe that he’s aiming for. Also with Elizabeth Debicki, Luca Calvani, Sylvester Groth, Christian Berkel, Jared Harris, and Hugh Grant.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (PG-13) James Dashner’s dystopian YA novel would have been better if it had been adapted into a video game instead of a movie. If you were controlling the hero, you’d probably make smarter decisions than him, and a pixelated version of him would show more personality than the relentlessly uninteresting Dylan O’Brien. This sequel to last year’s hit continues the adventures of the teens who survived the maze. Director Wes Ball engineers a nice sequence when O’Brien and Rosa Salazar (a ghostly new presence here) flee the zombies up a half-toppled skyscraper, but this still comes off as a half-assed Hunger Games rip-off. Also with Kaya Scodelario, Ki Hong Lee, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Dexter Darden, Alexander Flores, Jacob Lofland, Giancarlo Esposito, Aidan Gillen, Barry Pepper, Lili Taylor, and Patricia Clarkson.

Minions (PG) The yellow, gibberish-spouting beings were always the best thing about the Despicable Me movies, but can they carry their own film? Sort of. The bulk of the story is set in 1968, when three of the minions venture to America to look for an evil job and find a supervillainness (voiced by Sandra Bullock) who wants to take over the British crown. The film is padded out with predictable jokes about England, the 1960s, and the music of the time — when the minions surface on Abbey Road, guess who walks over them? Fortunately, enough of the focus is on the minions and their slapstick gags that the movie remains watchable. Additional voices by Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, Geoffrey Rush, Hiroyuki Sanada, Pierre Coffin, and Steve Carell.

Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation (PG-13) In its fifth installment, the spy series is as implausible and as gripping as ever. Tom Cruise returns as superagent

The Monaco setting is nice to look at, but the car stunts are nothing special, the prostitutes are carbon copies of one another (the matching costumes they wear on the job don’t help), and Skrein himself demonstrates all the personality of his Audi’s dashboard.

Ray Stevenson injects the only moments of humanity as the driver’s dad, who is also sucked into the plot.

Also with Loan Chabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatiana Pajkovic, Yu Wenxia, Yuri Kolkolnikov, Lenn Kudrjawizki, and Noémie Lenoir.

Vacation (R) Turn the car around. This continuation of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies concerns the Griswolds’ grown son Rusty (Ed Helms), who takes his own family on a road trip from Indianapolis to Walley World. The film repeatedly makes Rusty look like an idiot and a petty tyrant, and Helms isn’t a savvy enough actor to realize it. The Griswold clan seems to actively detest one another, and the hijinks they get into are wearisomely predictable. Despite an impressive roster of comic talent, the only actor who emerges with any credit is Chris Hemsworth as an archconservative, hypermasculine TV weatherman from Plano, imbuing a potentially hateable part with a buoyant charm. Also with Christina Applegate, Skyler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Leslie Mann, Charlie Day, Ron Livingston, Michael Peña, Norman Reedus, Keegan-Michael Key, Regina Hall, Colin Hanks, Tim Heidecker, Kaitlin Olson, Beverly D’Angelo, and Chevy Chase.

The Visit (PG-13) The best movie M. Night Shyamalan has made in years, and maybe his (intentionally) funniest one ever. Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould play siblings whose weeklong visit to stay with their estranged grandparents (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie) at their Pennsylvania farm turns more and more disturbing each night. The found-footage approach gives a peppier rhythm to Shyamalan’s stately filmmaking, enough of the gags land to sustain you during the non-scary parts, and even the trademark Shyamalan plot twist pays off satisfyingly. Hope for Shyamalan’s career lives again. Also with Kathryn Hahn and Celia Keenan-Bolger.

A Walk in the Woods (R) Bill Bryson’s memoir of trying to hike the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail gets turned into a sitcom, but at least there’s a nice little comedy team at the center of it. Robert Redford plays the journalist and Nick Nolte plays his recoveringalcoholic buddy who agrees to accompany him so that he doesn’t die. The hike is divided into neat little episodes, and first-time screenwriters Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman make sure that you see every punchline coming. A late scene on a mountain ledge achieves the sort of serene wisdom and camaraderie that the movie is aiming for, but that’s it. The badly served supporting cast includes Emma Thompson, Nick Offerman, Kristen Schaal, Susan McPhail, and Mary Steenburgen.

War Room (PG) If your husband abuses you, lock yourself in a room and pray until God makes him stop. That’s the advice that this movie gives out, and it is so jawdroppingly awful that I almost admire it. Priscilla C. Shirer plays a realtor who’s counseled by an all-wise elderly seller (Karen Abercrombie) about dealing with her cheating, possessive, wealthy husband (T.C. Stallings). Director/co-writer Alex Kendrick tells women in the audience to be good little submissive wives in such a patronizing way that he makes Tyler Perry look enlightened by comparison. For all its blather about God, this movie writes domestic abusers a blank check. I can’t think of anything worse that any recent movie has done. Also with Beth Moore, Alena Pitts, Tenae Dowling, Michael Jr., and Jadin Harris.

We Are Your Friends (R) I need more interesting friends, then. Some interesting bits about the art of the DJ are mired in this tedious, boilerplate drama about an upand-coming San Fernando Valley spinner (Zac Efron) who has to choose between a burgeoning career and his loyal circle of friends. The EDM aside, this is exactly like the other movies about young musicians that we’ve been watching for the last several decades, and Efron looks like he’d rather be off watching one of those other movies. I think I might join him. Also with Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski, Jonny Weston, Shiloh Fernandez, and Jon Bernthal.

F O R T WO R T H W E E K LY

Ethan Hunt, who discovers the existence of a rival spy agency just as IMF is being dismantled. Director Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) is the latest to take over the series, and he engineers terrific action sequences involving a backstage assassination plot at an opera performance and a motorcycle chase down the highways of Morocco. As a British agent who has an in with the rival agency, Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson is a blazing addition to the series as well. It’s a fine piece of summer escapism. Also with Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Sean Harris, Tom Hollander, Jens Hultén, Simon McBurney, and Alec Baldwin.

Shaun the Sheep Movie (PG) This is not a Nick Park movie, but his fans should rejoice anyway. Mark Burton and Richard Starzak adapt their own animated TV series (itself spun off from Park’s A Close Shave) to make this big-screen adventure with only gibberish for dialogue. It’s about a markedly intelligent sheep who leads his fellow sheep and a dogged watchdog in a quest outside their farm to save the farmer, who is suffering from memory loss due to a head injury.

From this setup, Burton and Starzak spin a number of literate gags, including references to everything from Banksy to The Silence of the Lambs. Perhaps this lacks the final ounce of ingenuity and feeling that Park’s movies have, but it’s still one of this year’s best movies for kids.

Sinister 2 (R) James Ransone reprises his role as the menacing sheriff’s deputy in this prequel about a house whose inhabitants are marked for death. Also with Shannyn Sossamon, Robert Daniel Sloan, Dartanian Sloan, Juliet Rylance, and Ethan Hawke.

Southpaw (R) Jake Gyllenhaal is fantastic, but this boxing drama is far less than that. He plays Billy Hope, an orphaned kid-turned-boxing champion who loses everything after his uncontrolled temper results in his wife (Rachel McAdams) being killed. Director Antoine Fuqua’s simplistic sense of drama is about as subtle as a right cross to the jaw, and about as much fun.

Screenwriter Kurt Sutter gives us cliché after cliché, from the wise old trainer (Forest Whitaker) in a dingy gym to the cute kid (Oona Laurence) who needs to be saved to the redemptive title fight against the mouthy rival boxer (Miguel Gomez) who started it all. Gyllenhaal proves his range by playing this boiling rage case, but both he and we deserved a better vehicle than this movie that could have been made in 1935.

Also with 50 Cent, Skylan Brooks, Victor Ortiz, Beau Knapp, Rita Ora, and Naomie Harris.

Straight Outta Compton (R) Musical thrills and good timing carry this rickety biopic over its many rough patches. F. Gary Gray’s bio details how Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), and Ice Cube (played by the rapper’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.) came together to form N.W.A. in the 1980s. The movie glosses over the group’s casual misogyny and homophobia, and the latter half sags as the music stops and the rappers’ life stories get turned into soap opera. Still, the young cast perform thrilling cover versions of N.W.A.’s greatest hits, and the recent wave of police shootings of unarmed black men have put the country in just the mood to hear “Fuck Tha Police” right now. Also with Neil Brown Jr., Aldis Hodge, Marlon Yates Jr., R. Marcos Taylor, Keith Stanfield, and Paul Giamatti.

Trainwreck (R) Maybe this isn’t the unfiltered Amy Schumer, but it is terribly funny. The comedian writes and stars in this comedy as a hard-partying, bed-hopping New York journalist who ponders settling down when she falls for a sports surgeon (Bill Hader) whom she’s assigned to profile. The movie stumbles badly in the second half when it tries to turn serious, even though the star gives it everything with the dramatics.

Still, the Schumer sense of humor comes through.

There are not one but three hilariously awkward sex scenes, plus unexpected comic support from John Cena as a boyfriend with unacknowledged homoerotic tendencies and LeBron James as a gossipy, Downton Abbey-obsessed version of himself. Schumer has never headlined a movie before; I’m intrigued to see the next one. Also with Tilda Swinton, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, Ezra Miller, Randall Park, Vanessa Bayer, Mike Birbiglia, Dave Attell, Method Man, Daniel Radcliffe, and Marisa Tomei.

The Transporter Refueled (PG-13) Ed Skrein tries to be Jason Statham. It doesn’t go well. He slides behind the wheel of this franchise as a high-performance driver who gets caught up in some prostitutes’ attempts to avenge themselves on the Russian mob boss (Radivoje Bukvic) who made them sex slaves.

Week of October 1, 2015 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The next seven weeks will NOT be a favorable time to fool around with psychic vampires and charismatic jerks. I recommend you avoid the following mistakes, as well: failing to protect the wounded areas of your psyche; demanding perfection from those you care about; and trying to fulfill questionable desires that have led you astray in the past.

Now I’ll name some positive actions you’d be wise to consider: hunting for skillful healers who can relieve your angst and aches; favoring the companionship of people who are empathetic and emotionally intelligent; and getting educated about how to build the kind of intimacy you can thrive on.

that had previously been invisible to you. That’s a good thing! But it might initially bring a jolt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may have seen websites that offer practical tips on how to improve your mastery of life’s little details. They tell you how to de-clutter your home, or how to keep baked goods from going stale, or why you should shop for shoes at night to get the best fit. I recently come across a humorous site that provides the opposite: bad life tips. For instance, it suggests that you make job interviews less stressful by only applying for jobs you don’t want. Put your laptop in cold water to prevent overheating. To save time, brush your teeth while you eat. In the two sets of examples I’ve just given, it’s easy to tell the difference between which tips are trustworthy and which aren’t. But in the coming days, you might find it more challenging to distinguish between the good advice and bad advice you’ll receive.

Be very discerning.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A windbreak is a line of stout trees or thick bushes that provides shelter from the wind. I think you need a metaphorical version: someone or something to shield you from a relentless force that has been putting pressure on you; a buffer zone or protected haven where you can take refuge from a stressful barrage that has been hampering your ability to act with clarity and grace. Do you know what you will have to do to get it? Here’s your battle cry: “I need sanctuary! I deserve sanctuary!”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On a windy afternoon last spring I was walking through a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley. In one yard there was a garden plot filled with the young green stems of as-yet unidentifiable plants.

Anchored in their midst was a small handwritten sign.

Its message seemed to be directed not at passers-by like me but at the sprouts themselves. “Grow faster, you little bastards!” the sign said -- as if the blooming things might be bullied into ripening. I hope you’re smart enough not to make similar demands on yourself and those you care about, Gemini. It’s not even necessary. I suspect that everything in your life will just naturally grow with vigor in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I am rooted, but I flow,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel *The Waves.* That paradoxical image reminds me of you right now. You are as grounded as a tree and as fluid as a river. Your foundation is deep and strong, even as you are resilient in your ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is your birthright as a Cancerian! Enjoy and use the blessings it confers. (P.S. If for some strange reason you’re not experiencing an exquisite version of what I’ve described, there must be some obstacle you are mistakenly tolerating. Get rid of it.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Should I offer my congratulations?

You have corralled a gorgeous mess of problems that are more interesting and provocative than everyone else’s. It’s unclear how long this odd good fortune will last, however.

So I suggest you act decisively to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that your dilemmas have cracked open.

If anyone can turn the heartache of misplaced energy into practical wisdom, you can. If anyone can harness chaos to drum up new assets, it’s you. Is it possible to be both cunning and conscientious, both strategic and ethical? For you right now, I think it is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let’s say you have walked along the same path or driven down the same road a thousand times. Then, one day, as you repeat your familiar route, a certain object or scene snags your attention for the first time. Maybe it’s a small fountain or a statue of the Buddhist goddess Guanyin or a wall with graffiti that says “Crap happens, but so does magic.” It has always been there. You’ve been subconsciously aware of it. But at this moment, for unknown reasons, it finally arrives in your conscious mind. I believe this is an apt metaphor for your life in the next week. More than once, you will suddenly tune in to facts, situations, or influences

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The 20th century’s most influential artist may have been Pablo Picasso. He created thousands of paintings, and was still churning them out when he was 91 years old. A journalist asked him which one was his favorite. “The next one,” he said. I suggest you adopt a similar attitude in the coming weeks, Libra. What you did in the past is irrelevant. You should neither depend on nor be weighed down by anything that has come before. For now, all that matters are the accomplishments and adventures that lie ahead of you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your fellow Sagittarian Walt Disney accomplished a lot. He was a pioneer in the art of animation and made movies that won numerous Academy Awards. He built theme parks, created an entertainment empire, and amassed fantastic wealth. Why was he so successful? In part because he had high standards, worked hard, and harbored an obsessive devotion to his quirky vision. If you aspire to cultivate any of those qualities, now is a favorable time to raise your mastery to the next level. Disney had one other trait you might consider working on: He liked to play the game of life by his own rules. For example, his favorite breakfast was doughnuts dipped in Scotch whisky. What would be your equivalent?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): October is Fix the Fundamentals Month. It will be a favorable time to substitute good habits for bad habits. You will attract lucky breaks and practical blessings as you work to transform overwrought compulsions into rigorous passions. You will thrive as you seek to discover the holy yearning that’s hidden at the root of devitalizing addictions. To get started, instigate free-wheeling experiments that will propel you out of your sticky rut and in the direction of a percolating groove.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Have you made your travel plans yet? Have you plotted your escape? I hope you will hightail it to a festive playground where some of your inhibitions will shrink, or else journey to a holy spot where your spiritual yearnings will ripen. What would be even better is if you made a pilgrimage to a place that satisfied both of those agendas -- filled up your senses with novel enticements and fed your hunger for transcendent insights. Off you go, Aquarius! Why aren’t you already on your way? If you can’t manage a real getaway in the near future, please at least stage a jailbreak for your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pablo Neruda’s *Book of Questions* consists entirely of 316 questions. It’s one of those rare texts that makes no assertions and draws no conclusions. In this spirit, and in honor of the sphinxlike phase you’re now passing through, I offer you six pertinent riddles: 1. What is the most important thing you have never done? 2. How could you play a joke on your fears? 3. Identify the people in your life who have made you real to yourself. 4. Name a good old thing you would have to give up in order to get a great new thing.

5. What’s the one feeling you want to feel more than any other in the next three years?. 6. What inspires you to love?
