» Thank goodness for doctors. After — and I use the term “after” cautiously — a brutal cold-and-ﬂu season this winter, I, along with my 1-year-old, have had more doctors’ visits in the last six months than I had in the last six years. Doctors have seen tears, both from said child and myself, and sympathetically given us the medicine and guidance needed to make it to April. And I know I’m not alone in this. Mostly because they told me, but also because I saw other versions of myself all throughout these doctors’ waiting rooms. I’m sure the doctors are just as glad April is here as we all are. So, now it’s time to hopefully give them a break and celebrate them. As we do every April in our oh-so-popular Top Doctors issue. Turn to page 101 to read about some of the best in the city.

to us by way of medicine. Writer Linda Blackwell Simmons proposed the idea of exploring the health beneﬁts of trees and introduced us to Fort Worth’s municipal tree farm. Then the story took root. What we found was more than 70 acres of both history and growth and a story that had to be told. Let’s just say if trees make you healthy, then Fort Worth is in good shape. You’ll ﬁnd other doses of medical inspiration throughout the issue as well. On page 24, Samantha Calimbahin chats with a local doctor who’s found herself in some unexpected starring roles, and on page 78, writer Jennifer Casseday-Blair explores the culinary medicine course at the UNT Health Science Center that’s taking medical students out of the classroom

and into the kitchen.

In a 280-page book, there are too many stories to mention in this brief letter. But, I’ll try anyway — the heartbreaking story of a family living at Union Gospel Mission, a girl gang-inspired Spring Fashion spread, a feature on the war between grocery stores, an interview with the female who was just named executive chef at Clay Pigeon and a Spring Events blowout that will have your calendar packed.

Happy reading.

Documentary photography is

your specialty. What’s the secret to capturing “the moment”?

For me, it’s all about being patient and anticipating what could happen. I don’t direct my subjects at all, so I always have to be ready for a good moment when it happens and do my best to “get it” because there is no recreating it once it’s gone. When I’m shooting, my brain is on overdrive.

What’s your secret to making families comfortable around you? I think my background in social work is a huge help. My experience working with families from diverse backgrounds helps me to be more comfortable in lots of situations and around all kinds of people. I think if my subjects can tell that I’m comfortable, it helps them relax. I also talk to them a lot. I ask questions, joke around, and interact with them in ways that don’t involve my camera. It’s intensely personal to allow a stranger to come in and photograph what your real life is like, so I try to stop being a stranger as fast as possible. It’s also incredibly important that they don’t feel judged, especially if they are a vulnerable population like a family living in a shelter. I try to convey that to them in any way I can, that I am not here to judge them or make them look any certain way through their images. I’m simply just wanting to help tell their story, whatever that looks like.

Check out Courtney Dabney’s feature, “Grocery Wars,” on page 86. Say, Courtney — what kind of grocery shopper are you? I am way less organized than I used to be. Having hungry teens running from sport to sport will do that. When I’m in a hurry, I shop on autopilot, making the same stops on the usual aisles, but when I have the time, I enjoy checking out all that’s new and unique. I would count myself a very efficient shopper with or without a list.

Linda Blackwell Simmons writes about a storied tree farm in Fort Worth for this month’s issue (page 72). Here’s what she likes to plant: I plant 200 caladium bulbs every year to line our beds — all white, and I always wait till late April to put them in ground. And usually large elephant ears (again, from bulbs) behind the caladiums. Also, we have an old-fashioned sitting porch, and I surround the bannister with hibiscus, impatiens and hydrangeas, thus making my own little private oasis.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 » Quite literally, the Eastside Blossoms project is blanketing areas east of downtown with cherry blossoms. On March 10, the project of East Fort Worth, Inc. celebrated planting its 1,000th tree. The organization is fulﬁlling the wish of the late Anne and Charles Tandy.

The story goes a little something like this. As Anne’s health was fading in 1978, Charles Tandy, of Tandy Corporation and RadioShack fame, told then-city manager Morris Matson about his wife’s wish to plant thousands of cherry blossoms along the Trinity River. Charles died of a heart attack two days later, and wife Anne died of cancer just 14 months later.

But thanks to the retelling of the conversation between Charles and Morris that day, the vision lived. Turns out, it was a pretty good idea.

“The ﬂowering trees create a colorful gateway to our city and support our pollinators,” says Jerry Barton, Eastside Blossoms founder.

Eastside Blossoms plans to place trees 30 feet apart in the medians and on the roadside where possible along Randol Mill Road and East First Street. The total path is 7.2 miles of trees on both sides of the roads and in some cases in the medians.

The organization maintains each tree for three years until it’s sustainable on its own.

The Eastside Blossoms Gala will be held on April 28. eastsideblossoms.org

THE FORT WORTH CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU BEGAN ITS ANNUAL MEETING AND BREAKFAST JUST FIVE YEARS AGO, but it has quickly become known for generating some serious Fort Worth hype and big announcements. Last year gave us the “Things to Do” video, starring Grady Spencer & The Work. This year’s meeting, held on Feb. 28, featured stories of diverse and inspiring Fort Worth influencers and entrepreneurs, dubbed “The Fort Worth Story.” February’s annual breakfast also included the announcement that FWCVB was officially changing its name to Visit Fort Worth — the organization’s official call to action. Bob Jameson, president and CEO of Visit Fort Worth, also announced that Molly the Trolley (the green vintage-looking trolley that rolls through the streets of downtown) would be free again. The trolley was originally free when it started in 2009, but the Fort Worth Transportation Authority implemented a small fare last year. “Molly the Trolley is a crucial part of the downtown visitor experience,” said Jameson. “The CVB is happy to help subsidize Molly the Trolley because this service is a win for downtown and the future of tourism.” Downtown Fort Worth Inc., Sundance Square and many downtown hotels will also help subsidize the service. Fare-free service began on March 1.

“While we focus on building a strong, prosperous future for Fort Worth, we must put an emphasis on educating our future generations and equipping our current workforce with the necessary skills to succeed.”

The Show Goes On for Potential Arthouse Cinema

BY SCOTT NISHIMURA

The Fort Worth Zoning Commission unanimously approved the rezoning of a historic mortuary in the Evans-Rosedale neighborhood to allow sales of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, opening a landing spot for a proposed multiscreen arthouse movie theater.

Commissioners voted 7-0 in March to approve the request of developers Jennifer Neil Farmer and Robb Farmer, of the F5designBuild ﬁrm, to rezone the 46,000-square-foot site on the east side of Interstate 35 West, across the highway from the Near Southside.

The case drew the support of the Southeast Fort Worth, Inc. and Near Southside, Inc. economic development nonproﬁts and the Historic Southside neighborhood association. Amy McNutt and James Johnston, owners of Spiral Diner, a popular vegan restaurant on West Magnolia

Avenue, have been looking for years for a site to build a proposed Citizen Theater on but have been thwarted by lack of parking on the urban inﬁll sites they’ve looked at. McNutt, in an interview, said the site is ideal in that it’s large enough to expand the 12,000-squarefoot building to allow multiple theaters and still provide enough parking. “We have had absolutely overwhelming support for this, and hopefully, it will jumpstart” revitalization around it, Wanda Conlin, the zoning commissioner whose district includes EvansRosedale, said, in making the motion to approve the rezoning. City Council member Kelly Allen Gray, whose district includes Evans-Rosedale, expressed support for the proposed project in an interview before the zoning hearing.

The Farmers bought the building at 821 E. Terrell St. in 2016 and had cleaned it up and made repairs, preparing

to go to the city for permit to renovate the shell when McNutt contacted them in December.

What McNutt wants to do: Add three to four small screening rooms in an expansion of the 12,000-squarefoot building, which can currently hold one screening room. Two of the screening rooms would likely have about 50 seats apiece, and the other two, about 90 seats apiece, McNutt said. The required expansion could be about 8,000 square feet of building space. The building would have a bar and nibbles serving movie patrons, who could take their food and beverage into the screening rooms. There would be no table service in the theaters, McNutt said. The theaters would show ﬁrst-run art movies, according to McNutt.

As of press time, the City Council was scheduled to vote on the zoning change on April 3. Check fwtx.com for the latest updates.

So It Begins

Construction has begun for the much-anticipated boutique hotel planned for the Near Southside. Ground broke March 20, and the project is expected to be complete in late 2019. Located at Magnolia Avenue and Henderson Street, on land owned by Mike Dolabi, the 167,213-square-foot hotel will stand at six stories with 138 rooms, 17 extended-stay rooms and 15 condominiums. A parking garage and community park are also part of the development. Fort Worth ﬁrm Bennett Benner Partners is the architect; principal and CEO Michael Bennett describes the building’s design as “contextual and contemporary,” and art by local artisans will be incorporated into the project. According to Bennett Benner Partners, the hotel will create 160 full-time jobs. San Diego-based developer Bond Partners will manage the hotel. The company is responsible for managing the 21C Musuem Hotel in Louisville and Eden Roc in Miami Beach, among others.

Meanwhile, what used to stand in that space — the Magnolia Micro-Park — has moved to the SoMa development at 125 South Main St.

BAmy Faith Ho

BY SAMANTHA CALIMBAHIN

eing a doctor is her day job — or night job, depending on her shift. At 27, Amy Faith Ho has done TEDx Talks (TED-like events run by independent organizers); written for numerous publications like Forbes, Chicago Tribune and The Motley Fool; and even appeared on ER-themed reality shows for TLC. But her heart is at John Peter Smith Hospital, where she’s part of the clinical faculty as associate medical director and administrative fellow in emergency medicine.

Let’s get to know Dr. Ho.

Q. So, you work in medicine, but you also do quite a bit of writing and public speaking. Have you always been a humanities buff on the side?

A. In medicine, we have to confront our own notions of the world through the experiences of our patients. During my clinical rotations in medical school, I found myself exposed to real-world situations that opened my eyes and challenged my beliefs. I started writing as a way to give these matters perspective.

Since then, I’ve really grown to appreciate what a unique place the emergency department is. This is one of the few places in society governed by a sense of compassion and humanity, not appearance, race, gender, or socioeconomic status. This is particularly evident at a county hospital: I walk into work, and I take care of the homeless

person, who is roomed next to the business executive, who is roomed next to the African refugee, who is roomed next to the high school football player. It says something really beautiful about society that we care for all of these patients, regardless of their background or status. I think this is an incredibly important and inspiring message to spread, and that’s my motivation for sharing it in the various forms of humanities.

Q. You’ve also done some acting in TLC’s “Sex Sent Me to the ER” and “Untold Stories of the ER.” First off, how did you get “discovered”?

A. I never intended to get “discovered,” at least, not for acting. Writing was always my ﬁrst art, and as my pieces garnered a broader readership and wider exposure, I began receiving invitations for interviews. This evolved into giving speeches at national conferences, doing a few TEDx talks, and being featured in podcasts, magazine spreads and TV interviews.

Finding the delicate balance between entertainment and reality is an art form, and I was impressed by how “Untold Stories” portrayed the emergency room. By that time, I’d garnered enough experience in front of cam-

he delicate balance bertainment and and I was told Stories” pormerg ency room. By d in front of cam-

eras that on a whim, I applied to be in an episode. I suppose the ﬁrst episode went well, because they asked me back for future ones after that.

Q. What happened when you got on set?

A. My time on set generally lasted a few days. Usually on the ﬁrst day, you do a read-through with the rest of the cast, give ﬁnal medical approval on “art” like X-rays and EKGs they’re going to use, walk the set to familiarize yourself, and go over other details like costume. They steam your scrubs for you, which I can assure you no one does in real life.

Part of these shows is shot in an interview format, so you sit 1-to-1 with the producer asking you questions. The rest of the ﬁlming process is the actual recreation of the case, and that’s a long, 12-plus hour day of repeating scenes in various camera angles, taking still photos for promotional materials, and ﬁlming commercial break transitions. Thankfully, this is regularly interrupted by the most important person on set, “Crafty,” who is someone from “Craft Services” that comes around with a tasty buffet of snacks and drinks.

Q. Do you ever get the jitters when you’re on set? What keeps you calm?

A. When I’m on set ﬁlming, if I forget a line, I just pause and call out, “Line!” and someone yells it out for me. We don’t have this kind of luxury in the emergency department. If you forget your next “line,” you better hope you remember it fast.

While certain tough cases will still make me sweat a bit, as an emergency doctor, I’m trained to handle any medical situation that I’m faced with in very highpressure and consequential scenarios. Outside of the hospital doors, I don’t really get jitters, because nothing can compare to life on shift.

Q. What inspired you to become a doctor?

A. I’ve always been interested in social policy — how people with the fewest resources paradoxically end up with the highest costs, and most needs struck me as a great social injustice of health

care in the United States. Our system is geared toward episodic interventions rather than promoting health early and maintaining it. This is particularly true for the uninsured, who end up only seeking care when there are true emergencies that they can’t delay.

I wanted to work on this issue and went to medical school as a sort of “reconnaissance” mission to understand how the system works from the inside. To my surprise, I fell in love with patient care in the emergency department and ended up splitting my time clinically and politically/administratively, so I could touch patients on an individual level when I work shifts, but also affect them on a broader population health level through policy and administrative processes.

Q. What would you say is the biggest social issue right now in the medical ﬁeld?

A. The fascinating thing about the medical ﬁeld is that it is inextricably linked to many seemingly unrelated social and political issues. The emergency department is where you witness the trickle-down effects of policies that have gone awry. Immigration reform creates issues with trust when we care for undocumented migrants. Gun violence inevitably means gunshot victims in our trauma bays. State funding bills on mental health, homeless shelters and rehabs sadly mean an inﬂux of patients to the emergency department who used to get services elsewhere. All of these are part of the bigger issue of social inequity.

Q. When you’re not in the hospital — or writing or speaking or acting — what are you doing?

A. As a resident, I was routinely churning through 80-plus hour work weeks. Now as a young attending, I have more free time than I’ve had for over a decade. Recently, I started my master’s in public health to circle back to the reasons I went into medicine in the ﬁrst place. I also enjoy traveling, ﬁtness (I’m into biking, weightlifting and yoga right now) and cooking. I’m a newlywed, so I’ve been enjoying my husband too.

» All this, made with a ballpoint pen. Meet the artist who’s returning to MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival this month.

Mightier Than the Sword

Tai Taeoalii turns the world on its head with a ballpoint pen.

BY SHILO URBAN

Riﬂe-wielding rabbits hang with human skeletons. Pintsized power lines sit atop the back of bunnies. Deep and darkly whimsical, Tai Taeoalii’s intricately detailed drawings envision an alternate universe in its post-apocalyptic throes. His world is inhabited by a menagerie of black-andwhite beasts: warthogs, giraffes, crocodiles, bats, monkeys, mammoths and aliens. Taeoalii’s animalistic art is avant-garde

yet accessible and delightfully disturbing. Skulls, guns and gas masks on rabbits reﬂect the angst-ridden ethos of the modern era. Anarchy looms. Images comment on war, industry and environmental degradation through the peaceful strokes of an artist. Military themes prevail; however, Taeoalii’s weapon of choice is a ballpoint pen. He draws with black ink on Mylar ﬁlm, sometimes adding color with charcoal, pencils, pastels, or watercolors. These crude

tools give his work a fresh sense of immediacy that balances with the shimmering surrealism of its subject matter.

And people love it. Taeoalii has won dozens of awards at art fairs across the country, including the People’s Choice Award at the 2017 MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival. He will return for this year’s festival to showcase new works, including more pop-surrealism pieces that incorporate watercolor drizzles.

“It was not surprising to us that he was

named the 2017 People’s Choice Award winner,” shares Claire Bloxom Armstrong, public relations director of the MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival. “I think his work is attractive to so many people because it is almost like street art. It’s not conservative and buttoned-up, like some of the art you see at MAIN ST. It’s raw, it’s dark and it’s powerful. And the fact that most of it is created with a ballpoint pen is unbelievable.”

Taeoalii is a self-taught artist from the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up as a bi-racial child in a mostly white neighborhood, he “fabricated a self-perception of pariahdom” that bred confusion and a deep sense of dread. Difﬁcult teenage years ensued — but Taeoalii found an outlet for his frustrations through art. He explored almost every medium of creative expression but was ultimately captivated by the direct simplicity of the ballpoint pen.

Today, Taeoalii has transformed the malaise of his youth into a successful career as an artist. He has been touring the nation for eight years with his wife and two children, selling thousands of original drawings to art fairs, galleries, and museums. Before his return to Texas for this year’s MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival, we talked to Taeoalii about the evolution of his artwork, Salvador Dali, and his future gallery in Hannibal, Missouri.

» What kind of ballpoint pens do you use? I use just plain ol’ hotel or bank pens. Not as a gimmick or anything, but just because it’s what I’ve used most of my life and what I’m most comfortable with. I like the permanence and spontaneity of it. Not being able to erase and being forced to just push through is the thrill for me.

» How did you feel when you found out that you won the People’s Choice Award at Fort Worth’s MAIN ST. Arts Festival last year? I was extremely honored to win a Juror Award and the People’s Choice Award. Both were a huge surprise for me. The Fort Worth show is full of artists that I look up to and whose work I genuinely admire, so just being among them was a treat. Receiving the awards was the cherry on top. Even more important than that, award winners are automatically invited back, so this year I didn’t have to deal with the anxiety of knowing whether I was accepted or not.

» What do you think makes the festival so special? For many traveling artists, it’s considered THE show to get into. Huge, art-savvy crowds with intent to buy and the capital to do so. That’s a recipe that most artists would love to have an opportunity at. I had applied to the Fort Worth show eight years in a row without getting accepted, so imagine my excitement when I ﬁnally did last year. I was ecstatic. All my artist friends who had done it in the past really hyped it up, and for me, it lived up to all the hype. Financially, it was my most successful show ever.

» Salvador Dali was your earliest artistic inﬂuence. Why did his work speak to you so profoundly? I had the same kind of raw style and outrageous imagery as a kid that I do now. Adults freak out when they see kids draw stuff like that. Drawings like mine cause parental alarm and usually earn you visits from

“concerned” counselors who debate your “mental health” and open up discussions about whether you need medication. I remember a real palpable sense of teachers and kids thinking I was nuts. I never thought I was crazy, but I couldn’t really understand why I was drawing what I was drawing. When I was around 13 or 14 years old, I ﬁrst saw some of Dali’s work and remember having a real sense of relief. Like I said, I never thought I was crazy, but Dali’s artwork and even his existence itself just reassured me that I wasn’t. It was extremely comforting knowing someone made a living and was even celebrated for his creations of similar content. Discovering him at that point in my life really had a huge, positive impact, and I credit Dali as the catalyst to my artistic ambitions.

» You’ve described your teenage years as “turbulent.” How have your feelings toward your experiences as an adolescent changed as you have grown older? Growing up bi-racial in a predominantly white suburb of Salt Lake City was interesting. Whether I was treated like one or not, I had an overwhelming sense of being an outcast. Teenage angst was my fuel, and my tank was always full. I wasn’t getting a sufﬁcient enough amount of creative outlet during my teens, which left me acting out in ways that I’m not particularly proud of. Many of my friends are dead, locked-up or in a continuous battle with addiction. I’m lucky that I cared enough about my art and that I made a conscious decision to never push too far ... it probably saved my life. As I got older, my understanding of the important impact those years had on my work became clearer.

masses. I always doodled with a pen, but back then I wasn’t conﬁdent or knowledgeable enough to do anything with my pen work. I’m in a very good spot right now with my work, and I think it shows. My work has evolved in a lot of different ways over the years, but the one thing that has remained true and what I’m most proud of is its authenticity. I make it a point of emphasis to create freely, not for anyone, just freely, from my heart.

» When will you be opening your new art gallery in Hannibal, Missouri? I hope to open the gallery by summer 2019. I am building the gallery out of a pre-Civil War home that was built in 1851, so it’s in pretty rough shape. I’m doing most of the work myself. I’ve had to tear out a lot of the interior, rebuild the foundation and ﬂoors, and still have many hours of hard labor to put into it before it will be ready.

» Why Hannibal? Being from Salt Lake City and mostly selling my art in the Midwest and the South, travel time was a total nightmare. We were con-

stantly driving, and it was taking its toll. About six years ago, we were casually invited to go see this really cool town that had a bunch of other traveling artists living there: Hannibal, Missouri. We were invited by Michael Paul Cole, an artist whose work I really admired, although I didn’t know him personally. I was honored that he thought my family was worth telling about this little treasure-town.

One weekend after a show in Chicago (about a 4 1/2-hour drive from Hannibal), we decided to drive down and see the town. It was rumored to have historic homes with price tags equal to or even less than a new car. When we got there, we came across this amazing Italianate home built in 1882 that charmed the socks off myself and my wife. Even more charming was the price. The artist who owned it at the time was moving up to Pittsburgh and was thrilled to sell it to a fellow artist, so we agreed on a stellar price. It was something that I would never have been able to forgive myself about if I passed it up, so we bought the home and now call it Ol’ Blue. A couple years later, the house next door became available for an even more amazing

price, so we bought that too. It’s the 1851 home that we are turning into my gallery.

I’ve always been infatuated with small town living, so it’s been perfect. I still have my home and life in Salt Lake City, so we go back and forth throughout the year. Hannibal is Mark Twain’s boyhood town and has a decent ﬂow of tourism, so it just makes sense for me to have a brick-and-mortar gallery for collectors to be able to visit on their road trips. So as I say, we didn’t really choose Hannibal; it chose us.

» Do your children like to create art? Are they old enough for you to see their distinct styles developing? My children are constantly creating, and it makes me so proud. My daughter’s drawings are happy and colorful, and my son’s drawings are whimsical and sometimes frightening, very similar to my work. She also loves crafting, and he loves creating stop-motion videos. They both have so much talent and their own distinct styles, which just puts a genuine smile on my face. I’m excited to see what, if anything, they’ll be creating in the future.

Drinking green juice is no longer cool, as bone broth seems to be the new kale smoothie. Goat yoga is taking over, and regular gym memberships are a thing of the past. Here, your guide to staying relevant with your wellness.

» Bulletproof Coffee From the French Press to pour over and cold brew, new coffee trends rise up weekly. Now, check out Bulletproof Coffee — the trend of brewing coffee with grass-fed butter and MCT oils — that is, oils and fats that are naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oil. Some say it tastes like a latte despite it being black coffee. Drinking bulletproof coffee instead of regular brewed helps with weight loss, boosts energy and is proven to be beneﬁcial for the brain.

» IV Bars People are trading in cocktail bars for IV bars this year. Or hitting IV bars after a night of many cocktails. What started as a popular trend in New York City and Los Angeles has made its way to Fort Worth with locations like Revive Therapy Center on Bluebonnet Circle and Replenish IV Hydration & Vitamin Therapy on West Magnolia. Most IV bars offer different types of IVs ranging from a hangover cure to anti-aging and weight loss. “There are numerous beneﬁts from giving energy

to protecting organs. It depends on your lifestyle for the type of IV you want,” said Chris Chapple, registered nurse and owner of HydroPros, another IV site in southwest Fort Worth. “IV Hydration is the fastest and most effective way to hydrate yourself. When you go to the hospital, they don’t give you a glass of water; you get a full IV.” Administered by nurse practitioners and paramedics, the IV bags often contain vitamin C, B12 and biotin.

» Breathwork Breathing and “work” seem like they don’t go hand in hand, but breathwork has proven to help many people with sleeping and restoring their mental and physical health. Breathwork, focusing on the patterns of breathing, can range from long meditation sessions to a quick 90-second exercise that can be

practiced anywhere by anyone.

» Intermittent Fasting If you believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day and need to eat a hearty meal in the morning, then intermittent fasting is not for you. Not to be confused with a diet, intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that helps with fat loss and making your body more lean. The only restrictions you have are the timing of your meals. Eating your ﬁrst meal at 1 p.m. and last meal before 9 p.m. positively affects the fed- versus fasted-state your body goes through throughout the day. The fed state occurs up to four hours after eating and is when your body absorbs and converts the digested nutrients for glucose. During the fasted state, insulin levels are low and fat is the main source of energy.

» Activated Charcoal What some hospitals use as a lastminute treatment to emergency poisoning is now becoming a household trend. Not to be confused with the charcoal used to light a ﬁre, this health-minded substance is activated by being processed at a high temperature that changes its internal structure. Activated charcoal is being used to create face masks to cleanse pores, in toothpaste to whiten teeth, and can be taken in a similar form of a vitamin to help with digestion, lower cholesterol and ﬂush out toxins.

» Earthing Similar to forest bathing, earthing requires you to kick off your shoes and connect directly to the earth to receive a charge from our planet’s energy. The “barefoot healing” is said to help you “look better, feel better and sleep better.” Don’t live near nature? Buy an earthing mat that plugs into the wall to receive energy from the earth.

» Entomophagy Entomophagy, the consumption of insects as food, has proven to have many health beneﬁts. Insects are very high in natural nutrients. Angelina Jolie has even said that crispy crickets is a favorite snack among her kids — just don’t be eating the bugs you ﬁnd in your backyard.

» Moringa In 2016 there was kale, in 2017 there was kombucha, now in 2018 there is moringa. Moringa is a “super-green” natural supplement found in trees in India, South America and Africa. High in protein, iron, calcium, potassium and vitamin A, the supplement is being put in juices, added to protein powder and also chips. Moringa chips and salsa anyone?

“IV Hydration is the fastest and most effective way to hydrate yourself. When you go to the hospital, they don’t give you a glass of water; you get a full IV.”

» Forest Bathing Don’t let the name fool you — there is no actual bathing in forest bathing. Those who forest bathe are clearing their minds by getting back in touch with their surroundings and nature. The idea of forest bathing originally came from Japan in the 1980s and is now becoming popular in the U.S. Just like a yoga instructor or personal trainer, people are accompanied by a “forest guide” to help lead them on their journey through nature. Forest bathing has been shown to help with lowering blood pressure, stress and anxiety.

» Home Furnishing Athleisure wear companies are teaming up with home furnishing stores to make homes more zen and harmonious. Lululemon and PB Teen even collaborated on youth brand, ivivva — a 40-piece home collection “inspired by active girls” that includes a ballet full-length mirror and pinboards with inspirational messages.

The Shores of Lake Como

This luxurious getaway demands attention for more than yachts and celebrity sightings.

BY KYLE WHITECOTTON

In northern Italy’s Lombardy region, where the Alps begin their sharp ascent toward Switzerland, rests an assemblage of bright blue glacial lakes. This landscape of breathtaking waters tucked beneath jagged limestone peaks is known as the Italian Lake District, and for centuries, it has served as a source of inspiration and harmony for painters, writers and poets alike. Today, the Italian Lake District is populated by a vast gathering of captivating havens bursting with the charm

of old-world architecture, rich history and a multitude of unique cultural remains, and each lake offers its own inﬂuence.

Near Verona, Lake Garda is Italy’s largest lake and a perfect destination for foodies and vineyard hoppers. Thanks to the strong winds off the Dolomites, sports enthusiasts relish in Lake Garda’s sailing, kite surﬁng and windsurﬁng. Straddling the Swiss-Italian border is Lake Lugano, where the surrounding mountains grow straight up out of the water, and the town

of Lugano boasts lakeside promenades, waterfront parks and tons of chic shopping worthy of a lengthy stay.

Lesser-known Lake Iseo is the region’s hidden gem and is surrounded by a number of medieval towns as well as the legendary valley walls of Val Camonica, adorned with more than 300,000 prehistoric carvings. Another well-kept aquatic secret of the Italian Lake District is Lake Orta. This westernmost lake is also the smallest in the Lake District at only 8 miles long. Some even argue that

it’s the quietest of the lakes. The lake’s allure is accented by the winding streets and stone walls of the small town of Orta San Giulio.

Lake Maggiore, north of Milan, is Italy’s second largest lake and home to the picturesque Borromean Islands. This enchanting group of small islands bursting with ornamental gardens and magniﬁcent palaces neighbors the charming botanical lakeside town of Stresa, and the surrounding mountains and vast countryside deliver tons of hiking and biking opportu-

nities around the lake.

Still, as remarkable as each of these lakes is, they are all rivaled by one lake in the region — the long-admired Lake Como.

Just an hour outside of Milan, Lake Como is perhaps the region’s best-known tourist destination. Since the early days of the Roman Empire, the town’s blue waters and reﬂected mountaintops have attracted the rich and famous, and their inﬂuence is evident all around. One glance at Lake Como leaves little wonder why Hollywood A-listers like George

Clooney and international celebrities like Richard Branson own lakeside villas here.

At more than 1,300 feet deep, Lake Como is Europe’s deepest lake, which accounts for its extraordinarily blue waters. And like the other lakes in northern Italy, Lake Como is set amid the foothills of the Alps, which plunge straight down into the water, but what truly sets this lake apart from the rest is the more than 100 miles of stunning shoreline that have summoned the most exclusive company of lakeside towns.

A view of Lake Como

More impressive than all the other lakes in the Italian Lake District, the shores of Lake Como are studded with beaches, medieval remnants of old stone villages, magniﬁcent villas and lakeside estates, and elegant promenades. And while they are all in such close proximity to one other, each somehow feels as though it were Lake Como’s only town.

Bellagio

Situated between the two southern branches of Lake Como, this elegant hillside village is considered one of the most beautiful

towns in Europe and is the most popular town on the lake. In fact, it is even known as “The Pearl of the Lake.”

A visit to Bellagio begins with a walk along the promontory toward the tiny, ancient streets of the old town center and the beautiful Church of San Giacomo. From here, Bellagio is an endless exploration of boutiques, restaurants and hotels. A short walk from the streets of Bellagio is the old ﬁshing village of Pescallo and the marina and sailing club.

Bellagio is best known for its two breathtaking villas. The sloping lakeside gardens of Villa Melzi, built in the early 17th century, are ﬁlled with exotic trees, camellias,

rhododendrons and azaleas. Meanwhile the slopes of the Bellagio promontory feature Villa Serbelloni, a luxury hotel built in the 15th century with 50 acres of park and garden, including plants, statues, small caves and water features.

Tremezzo

On the western shore of Lake Como, directly across from Bellagio, is the quaint town of Tremezzo. Home of the ﬁve-star Grand Hotel, Tremezzo might be the lake’s best lodging option. The Grand Hotel is seven ﬂoors of Art Nouveau boasting 90 rooms, three pools and a spa housed in its own 18th century villa. Best of all, guests of the Grand Hotel can rent or charter their own boat and tour the lake in style.

Tremezzo’s beautiful Villa Carlotta is surrounded by a vast 19-acre terraced botanical garden containing 500 species of plants, including ancient trees, palms, rhododendrons, azaleas, Japanese maples, cacti, bamboo and orchids. Inside this 17th century villa is an art collection ﬁlled with masterpieces as enchanting as the gardens outside.

Another celebrated Tremezzo villa is Villa del Balbianello, which has been featured in a number of ﬁlms including “Casino Royale” and “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.” But make time to see Lake Como and Isola Comacina from the Greenway del Lago di Como. This easy 6-mile stroll starts in Tremezzo and visits several unique villages.

Cernobbio

At the foot of Mount Bisbino, the small town of Cernobbio offers a peaceful yet cosmopolitan vibe and is best known for some of Lake Como’s finest villas: Villa d’Este, a renaissance residence and one of the grandest hotels in all of Italy; Villa Erba, an imposing 19th century villa filled with astounding frescos; and Villa Bernasconi, a truly stunning example of Lombardy’s floral-style architecture. However, the town of Cernobbio also marks the start of the 80-mile-long La Via dei Monti Lariani, a well-marked footpath that extends to the northernmost point of the lake and the town of Sorico. Long used by locals to reach the Alpine meadows, the trail rambles at an average altitude of more than 3,000 feet through the unspoiled nature of the surrounding valleys. Hikers will follow mule tracks and roads built during World War I as they pass through ruins of ancient settlements with magnificent mountain views and the occasional wildlife. Dividing the hike into four sections allows travelers to spend nights recouping in the villages of San Fedele Intelvi, Val Menaggio and Garzeno.

Menaggio

On the west side of the lake, about midway up, Menaggio is a popular base from which to explore Lake Como. Menaggio also has one of the best promenades ﬁlled

with cafes, bakeries, restaurants and shops lining the edge of Piazza Garibaldi. This historic center is the site of the beautiful façade of the Church of Santa Maria and the medieval Church of San Carlo, which is accompanied by a beautiful bell tower. Other notable Menaggio churches include San Stefano and San Giusto. Because of Menaggio’s strategic location, it stood proud as a walled city complete with towers, castles and other fortiﬁcations during medieval times. Today, some of the remnants of these historic structures can still be seen. Overlooking town is the 10th century castle of Menaggio, still with the perimeter walls, two towers and the entrance still visible.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Menaggio’s large, unspoiled Val Sanagra Park in the heart of the Lepontine Alps. Encountering pristine forests of birch, silver ﬁrs and alpine spruce, a walk through this park is certain to include the chance sighting of red deer, chamois and roe deer, as well as Italy’s oldest rock formations dating back to the Carboniferous era.

Varenna

This old stone ﬁshing village, dating back to the 11th century, is a quaint, rustic escape from the other bustling towns of Lake Como. In fact, there’s really very little to do here, which is why it’s such a popular choice with visitors.

While away the morning hours by taking

in the exquisite lake views toward Bellagio and Menaggio from the Varenna’s stone beach. From there, stroll the picturesque cobblestone pedestrian lanes and sloping alleyways to the town’s well-preserved medieval center and discover the 14th century Church of San Giorgio and the much older Church of San Giovanni Battista.

To check off another Lake Como villa, stroll through palm trees, yuccas, dracaena, cypresses and oleander in the gardens of the Villa Monastero, which was once a Cisterian female convent. Then visit the 13th century Castle of Vezio, now dedicated to the art of falconry and the breeding and training birds of prey.

Head out of town a little ways to visit the hamlet of Fiumelatte and picnic alongside the shortest river in Italy, and return to the main piazza along the scenic and romantic Passeggiata degli Innamorati, otherwise known as Lover’s Walk, that traces the edge of the lake.

In the end, a visit to Lake Como seems to present one minor setback. With so many inspiring towns, how does anyone choose? Luckily there is no need to choose; you can have them all. Lake Como supports a vast water taxi system, and almost every town has its own boat landing. So pack your swimsuit and a pair of hiking boots and make your way to Northern Italy’s Lake District. The enchanted shores of Lake Como are waiting.

Sheltered

A family of six faces ordinary struggles in the most extraordinary circumstances as they call Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County home.

WORDS AND PHOTOS BY SARA EASTER

“We live here so our family can stay together,”

says 27-year-old Jared Henderson. When this family of six (Dallas, 27, Sadie, 8, Xoi, 5, Zander, 3, and Mila, 1) found themselves homeless last year, it quickly became evident that they could not all stay together with any one family member or friend. “We don’t have nowhere else to go,” Jared explains. “It’s really just us.” So, the family found themselves at Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County in July 2017, where they were accepted into the shelter’s program for families experiencing homelessness. “It’s the most stressful thing ever, but splitting up my family is just not an option,” says Jared.

Mom, dad and the four kids live in a space the size of an average bedroom. There is just enough room for a full-size bed, a set of bunk beds with a trundle, and a crib for baby Mila. They have a bathroom attached to their room and four drawers and a few cabinets for storage. There are usually toys and clothes covering most of the usable space. “We really try to keep our room clean,” says Dallas. “But there is just nowhere to put our stuff. We store clothes and toys and stuff on some of the beds, and the kids sleep together in one.” The kids pull out toys and make up games with whatever they can ﬁnd around the room while Jared and Dallas watch from their bed and try to stay out of the way. Jared works nights and tries to sleep when he can despite all the noise. The older kids attend an elementary school around the corner, but the younger two remain at the shelter all day with Dallas. Jared tries to sleep during naptime so that he is ready for his shift when it starts at 8 p.m.

The playground at the shelter serves as a much-needed break from the family’s room. It’s a popular spot for families living at the shelter to congregate. The kids play while parents chat with each other; it looks like a scene from any neighborhood park anywhere. There are cries of laughter, tears over a skinned knee, siblings ﬁghting, and parents comforting upset toddlers. Perhaps more than anywhere else in the shelter, the playground serves as a reminder that families need and want the same things, regardless of where they are living.

The shelter feeds its residents in shifts since not everyone can ﬁt in the dining hall at once. Families with children go ﬁrst. This means that the Hendersons have to be up for breakfast at 5 a.m. Lunch is served around 10:45 a.m., and dinner is at 3:40 p.m. The family sits down for their meals together, and the kids are surprisingly tolerant of anything they are given. Only once is a backup peanut butter and jelly sandwich needed when Zander refuses his barbecue. After eating, it’s usually back to their room for baths and more playing before bed. Jared leaves for work around 7:45 p.m., and Dallas tries to have everyone

in bed by 8. Because the family shares one room, everyone must go to sleep at the same time. Dallas states this isn’t a problem though. “They are so tired they fall right to sleep.” Once all the kids are asleep, Dallas attempts to enjoy some “alone time.” She plays around on her phone or reads a book. Even though the kids are all in the room with her, it’s the ﬁrst time all day she has had any time to herself.

“You don’t gotta feel bad for me,” Dallas insists. She and Jared both feel that they are often judged for living at the shelter and having their children there. “People judge us; I feel it,” she says. They realize that their living situation is not ideal. “We are looking for a place of our own,” says Jared. “We need a place so bad, it’s not even funny.” However, in the meantime the couple is trying to parent the best way they know how in their situation.

The Tree Huggers

Fort Worth celebrates 40 years with the designation of Tree City USA this year. We take a look at the farm that makes it all possible and talk to the people that keep it all growing.

BY LINDA BLACKWELL SIMMONS AND KENDALL LOUIS

The “Texas A&M ﬁeld” at the Rolling Hills Tree Farm was planted in the late 1960s in partnership with the university. The chinkapin oaks now serve as a natural habitat for wildlife on the property.

It’s a much-needed sunny Friday afternoon in March at the Rolling Hills Tree Farm when Will Pemberton shows us around. The crew leader at the city’s municipal tree farm since 1994, he knows almost every inch of the 71acre piece of property like the back of his hand. Like the scenic and thriving ﬁeld of more than 40 live oak trees, planted in the ’80s, that creates a view behind him. And another ﬁeld of chinkapin oaks that were planted in partnership with Texas A&M in the late ’90s. It now sits as a natural habitat for the gray foxes and barn owls that frequently visit. Then there are the numerous greenhouses Pemberton designed and constructed with the help of a few assistants. He can also show you exactly where an inmate carved the date “1960 - 1963” in the concrete of the main greenhouse on the property that was built before his time — 1938 to be exact.

That’s because, in its original state, the main greenhouse and this land served a different purpose. The farm is on a piece of property shared with the Federal Medical Center, a medical and mental health prison, that originally opened in 1938 under the Narcotic Farms Act to jail and rehabilitate drug addicts. It was one of two narcotic farms opened under the act — the ﬁrst opened in Lexington, Kentucky. After a change in U.S. policy and treatment for drug addicts, the farm was abandoned in 1975.

Soon thereafter, the city began leasing the land from the federal government. By 1978 Fort Worth was designated a Tree City USA, a designation by the Arbor Day Foundation, and has held that title ever since. Cities achieve this status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day. There are few municipal tree farms that are as vast and ambitious as Fort Worth’s. “Because of all the beneﬁts they provide, planting trees is one of the wisest choices a city can make, and our tree farm makes it all possible,” says Melinda Adams, certiﬁed arborist and Fort Worth’s city forester for the past 18 years. “Fort Worth’s Urban Forestry Program is one that other municipalities emulate. Citizens of Fort Worth

have a long-standing love affair with trees,” Adams says. This dates back to the late 1800s when the city declared it illegal to hitch a horse to a city tree.

Rolling Hills Tree Farm sits on the south side of town, near Tarrant County College South Campus. At any given time, the farm has 8,000 to 10,000 trees in cultivation, most of which are grown from seeds that are collected around town — a strategy that’s both economic and offers a greater likelihood that the trees will be ideally suited for Fort Worth-area neighborhoods. Pemberton says the Fort Worth Botanic Garden is a favorite gathering place for seeds. Going from seed to 5-gallon container typically takes a minimum of three years, and some take seven or eight years, before they are ready to leave the farm for their new home. The tree-planting program currently has only five paid employees — one supervisor; Pemberton, who serves as the crew leader; two greenhouse attendants; and a maintenance worker. “In the summer it takes us five days to mow the whole thing. By the time we finish, we have to do it all over again,” Pemberton says.

Citizens can get involved, too, thanks to the Citizen Forester Program that was established in 2006. After volunteers receive extensive training, they can work to prune young trees and coordinate tree planting. The program is so well-regarded that it has received national attention and served as a model for similar programs in Dallas and Austin. Volunteers contribute over 2,000 hours annually toward the tree farm’s maintenance. These volunteers range from a scout troop for a couple of hours, to a semester-long vocational program for special-needs high school students, to long-term commitments of city foresters. Pemberton’s particularly proud of the work they do with troubled teens through Tarrant County Juvenile Services. But in 2008, all of this was in danger of going away. A reduction package was proposed to eliminate the tree farm, along with all forestry volunteer and outreach programs. Public outcry prompted city leaders to ﬁnd ways to save the tree farm. As a result, the City Council approved funding from several other sources, including a ﬁve-year $100,000 donation from Chesapeake Corporation. Today, community tree-planting operates

on an annual budget funded through the Park & Recreation Department. No tax dollars are utilized. Instead, ﬁnancing comes from an endowment fund within the department.

Many of the city’s most recognized trees exist because of the tree farm. The rows of live oaks that line Berry Street between the homes on Bellaire Drive and TCU’s baseball stadium started at this very place. Pemberton planted every single one of them, and the TCU grounds staff maintains them. TCU reached out to the city tree farm to partner on the project when they were expanding Lupton Stadium in an effort to create a sound buffer between homes on Bellaire Drive and the stadium. Rolling Hills is also the birthplace of many of the trees at the center of Camp Bowie Boulevard between Hulen and Montgomery streets.

And, it’s all free. That’s thanks to the Neighborhood Tree Planting Program (NTPP) and the Tree Grant Program (TGP). Through the NTPP, the city provides trees free of a charge. Neighborhoods designate a coordinator who collects the names of interested residents — ideally between 25 and 75. The city forester marks optimal planting locations for each resident (between the curb and the sidewalk) and works with the coordinator to arrange delivery. Then each participating homeowner is responsible for planting and caring for the trees. Trees are delivered in 5-gallon containers, and the forestry group provides care instructions. While the NTPP gives away a greater number of trees, the TGP is more popular due to the larger size of trees offered. Large homeowners’ associations such as the Villages of Woodland Springs often utilize the TGP. This neighborhood may receive 80-100 large trees in a single season.

Since 1985, when the city began tracking, over 42,000 trees have been planted through these two services. Not only do they work to beautify city and neighborhood streets, trees contribute millions of

dollars in beneﬁts relating to storm water runoff, air and water quality, urban heat island effect and property values.

Craig Fox, natural scientist supervisor for the Park & Recreation Department, says the forestry group also selects two neighborhoods each year and sends mailers to about 500 residents at any one time to promote the program and garner interest in creating a more canopied environment. According to Fox, Stop Six was the most recent community to receive trees as a result of the mailer, following the city’s revitalization efforts in that area.

“We’re entrusted to provide trees for some pretty great spaces across Fort Worth. While we may not offer as much variety as commercial nurseries, we take pride in offering trees that will thrive in Tarrant County with minimal

maintenance,” says Fox.

The city gives out about 1,600 trees per year. According to Fox, it’s hard to ﬁnd a Fort Worth neighborhood that hasn’t participated in the tree program.

“Several of our older neighborhoods such as Fairmount, Mistletoe and Ryan Place have participated for decades,” he says. These days, trees most often leave the tree farm for developing neighborhoods in the northern Fort Worth city limits like Alexandra Meadows, Harriet Creek Ranch and Marine Creek.

But, Fox gets tree requests from everywhere. He tells a story about a call he received from a man in Cincinnati, Ohio, who had read about Fort Worth’s program and wanted his neighborhood to participate. “It took about 15 minutes of explaining that Fort Worth could not deliver trees to Ohio. He was crushed.”

TREES AND HEALTH

Studies have shown trees affect our mood and health. A study at Michigan University conducted about a decade ago found that trees affect our cognitive abilities. Researchers asked volunteers to take a 50-minute walk through either an arboretum or a city street before giving them a cognitive assessment. The students who walked through nature performed better than their counterparts on tests of memory and cognition, and researchers observed they appeared to be in a better mood after concluding the walk.

AN APPLE A DAY

UNT Health Science Center’s Culinary Medicine training gets medical students out of the classroom and into the kitchen with a mission to teach upand-coming doctors how eating behavior drastically affects patients’ health.

BY JENNIFER CASSEDAY-BLAIR

On her recent visit to the doctor, Arlington resident Kitty Thompson learned she had crept from pre-diabetic status into the diabetic category, a more and more common occurrence in physicians’ ofﬁces across America. Under the direction of her doctor, she decided to drastically overhaul her diet to improve her health; however, doing so required extensive research on her part.

“I went low-carb to bring down my hemoglobin A1c [Hemoglobin A1c is a blood test predicting average blood glucose levels for the last three months] … That doesn’t mean I don’t still love potatoes and think longingly of them. For snacks, I usually go for olives, cheese, peanut butter, nuts, jerky and, of course, old tried-and-true fruits and veggies,” Thompson says. She also added more lean protein to her diet and doesn’t always skimp on the fats because she says they keep her more satisﬁed. “After three months of doing this, I brought down my hemoglobin A1c to within normal range. Oh, and I’ve lost 14 pounds,” she says.

It’s this kind of preventative health care that is now at the forefront of the medical ﬁeld as providers search for an effective solution to the obesity crisis and seemingly uncontrollable rising chronic disease state of the country. The majority of the nutritional content currently taught in medical education is related to biochemistry, not

practical, food-related knowledge and skills that may positively impact eating behaviors. However, some integrative health care models, such as the one at University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC), are incorporating hands-on nutrition education as an effective part of the treatment plan for clients and patients who are plagued with disease.

MAIN COURSE

Dr. Anne VanBeber, professor and chair of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at TCU, along with Dr. Keith Argenbright at the Moncrief Cancer Institute/UT Southwestern, brought the Culinary Medicine program to Fort Worth. She has taught the class since it was launched in 2014 to more than 120 students from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) and the UNTHSC. It’s the ﬁrst of its kind in Texas and one of only about a dozen around the country. It’s so popular that a lottery determines participants.

VanBeber says it is important for any health care professional (doctors, physician assistants, nurses, dietitian/nutritionists, physical therapists, occupational therapists) to not only have a knowledge of healthy eating, but also have the ability to successfully promote it. She says, “The future of nutrition education must include hands-on cooking classes if we are to truly improve the health of the nation. The basic philosophy that we learn from practice is utilized in this program, and the more we practice something, the more we understand it … We need to get people back in the kitchen, and if a health care professional can comfortably discuss this with patients, then the patients are more likely to follow the advice.”

Created by the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine, the Culinary Medicine program is a collaboration between the TCU Department of Nutritional Sciences, the Moncrief Cancer Center and UNTHSC.

The guiding principles behind the course are based around the Mediterranean diet, which is plant focused and includes a lot of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts/seeds and legumes. VanBeber says, “The ingredients for the recipes we teach can be bought at any grocery store, including Walmart,

and the dishes are delicious and have a lot of ﬂavor from the variety of ingredients in the recipes.”

Lessons are taught by faculty from both TCU and UNTHSC, and students beneﬁt from each other’s perspectives on medicine and nutrition. There’s required reading, group discussions and the added bonus not often found in most medical classes … eat-

ing delicious food. VanBeber says, “We also focus on knife skills, safety and sanitation in the kitchen throughout the six-week course.”

Taylor Blackwood is a ﬁrst-year medical student at UNTHSC’s Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and is currently enrolled in the Culinary Medicine class. “I

took a nutrition class while in undergrad, and I can honestly say that it doesn’t even compare to this class. The opportunity to take a hands-on approach to what we are learning through the online modules is second to none. The TCU nutrition students do an amazing job of helping us apply our nutritional knowledge to the dish we make each week in the kitchen and often quiz us on what nutritional beneﬁt each ingredient plays in the overall dish. In my opinion, the kinesthetic approach correlates very well to the way many physicians learn medicine and is probably the reason I’m enjoying it so much,” Blackwood says.

DIET AND DISEASE

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of all Americans routinely take prescription drugs. It’s also reported that 75 percent of all doctor visits involve the prescription of drugs. Pharmaceuticals may not be the best medicine for patients. Doctors’ mindsets are now changing in the way they treat patients by prescribing healthy foods rather than pills to ﬁx the body.

Utilizing online modules in UNTHSC’s Culinary Medicine class, students are learning about food on a scientiﬁc level. For instance, they dive deep into the role macronutrients and micronutrients play in

Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

*recipe endorsed and provided by UNTHSC

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• 1.25-pound pork tenderloin

• 1 large shallot, minced

• 1-2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 teaspoon thyme or rosemary, dried

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 2 teaspoons Dijon or Creole mustard

Directions:

1. Gather all ingredients and equipment.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

3. In a medium bowl, mix the shallot, garlic, dried seasonings, honey, vinegar, salt, pepper and mustard. Set aside.

4. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then add to pan. Cook until the underside is brown (once it starts browning, it will unstick from the pan; do not force it), then ﬂip and brown. Brown each side of tenderloin.

5. Remove from pan. Rub the sauce around the entire pork tenderloin.

6. Place pork on greased foil-lined sheet pan. Bake the pork in the oven until internal temperature reaches 140 F (it will carry over another 5 degrees F as it rests, about 15 minutes). Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

7. Slice pork from a bias from end to end and serve warm.

the Mediterranean diet. The modules also provide examples of substitutes for commonly eaten foods that aren’t a part of the diet. The substitutes are often both lower in calories and higher in nutrients.

Obesity is present in approximately 36 percent of the U.S. population with another 30-40 percent of adults classiﬁed as being overweight. This epic battle with the bulge is accredited nearly entirely to lifestyle factors — inactivity and poor diet choices, including our fast-food frenzy. And this leads directly to health problems among this percentage of the population like an increased risk for hypertension, diabetes and a myriad of other chronic diseases.

The classroom and kitchen portion of the class focuses on some of those medical problems. “This has been beneﬁcial and has given us the knowledge to be able to speak conﬁdently with our patients when discussing diet changes,” Blackwood says.

The skyrocketing increase in diabetes diagnoses is getting worse. There are 29 million people in American with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. If things continue along this path, 40-50 percent of adults will have diabetes by 2040, according to dieticians at the Moncrief Cancer Institute. Over time, high blood glucose from diabetes leads to other issues, including damage to blood

vessels and the nerves that control your heart and blood vessels. The longer a person has diabetes, the higher the chance for developing heart disease.

Results of recent epidemiological studies indicate that increased sugar in a population’s food supply was linked to higher diabetes rates. Dr. Janet Lieto is an assistant professor of Medical Education at the UNTHSC’s Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, and she lectures regularly during the Culinary Medicine classes. She stresses the importance of discussing real-life applications and using actual case studies in class.

“There was a case we examined during one of the classes where a guy who lived in Louisiana was drinking something they call ‘Punch’ on a daily basis. He wasn’t aware that by doing this, he was consuming 1,300 calories of sugar every day. That was a regional example, but then we spoke about our obsession with sweet tea in Texas. Just becoming aware of what you are ingesting is a major step. Educating people in baby steps to make small changes will make big differences in the disease process,” Lieto says.

For patients with hypertension, reducing sodium is critical. Most of the salt we consume comes from processed and restaurant food. Just eating at home will help patients naturally lower their risk of hypertension.

Students prepare a dish as part of UNTHSC’s Culinary Medicine class.

Lieto says, “My biggest concern is the amount of processed foods we eat. You can’t even pronounce half of what is found in our food anymore. We must get back to real foods. You are seeing a shift into eating locally and organically and going back to our roots before we had so much processed food.”

While there are theoretical factors linking additives, chemicals and food colorings with cancer risk, many doctors say it’s best to focus on the established ways of reducing the risk of cancer, which includes a

healthy diet. Plant foods offer protection in many ways. Not only do they provide thousands of phytochemicals, but many are antioxidants that protect and repair our DNA. Certain foods have a more direct effect on a speciﬁc type of cancer. For example, some plant foods contain ﬁber, which can lower the risk of colon cancer.

“When you’re a kid, you always hear, ‘Eat your fruits and vegetables,’ but you are never really told the reason why you should. Studying the Mediterranean diet

tients, then the patients are more likely to follow the advice.”

and the ‘Blue Zones’ [a health initiative in Fort Worth, inspired by different parts of the world where people are living the longest] has taught me that individuals who eat a plant-based diet that is high in micronutrients have increased longevity and decreased potential for disease … This class has shown me that the changes we need to make in our diet to have a signiﬁcant impact on our health aren’t nearly as drastic as we often imagine,” Blackwood says.

While it might not be realistic to expect physicians to immediately add a dietician’s cap to their already busy wardrobes, UNTHSC’s Culinary Medicine class gets the ball moving in the right direction. VanBeber says, “I do believe that all medical students should participate in a program such as this. Since Tulane started their program in 2012, now more than 30 other institutions have licensed their program. We are promoting that the Culinary Medicine program be included in the curriculum of the new TCU/UNTHSC medical school.”

Overall, the message the local medical community is sending to patients is simple: Fuel your body by eating the right foods and drinking the right ﬂuids in the right amounts at the right times. If you don’t do this, your bodies will eventually break down.

The Culinary Medicine course focuses on embracing local and organic food.

The Faces of Luxury

Grocery Wars

BY COURTNEY DABNEY

When Amazon bought Whole Foods in late 2017, it sent shudders through the already highly competitive grocery market. After all, Fort Worth saw not one but two grocery stores open and close in less than a year in the same location in University Drive’s WestBend development. With price and convenience wars going on among all of America’s grocery store chains, we take a closer look at Fort Worth’s offerings. What’s new, what’s different and what’s in store? It’s gloves off on Aisle 5.

Grocery Wars

SHELF LIFE

ROY POPE

1943

The ﬁrst gourmet grocery and deli in town, Roy Pope will celebrate its 75th anniversary this spring.

STORE

“We know most of our customers by name. We know how they want it cut and how thick or thin they like their sliced meats. We can ask if they want their ‘usual’ order and meet them at the front with it,” says Roy Pope owner Bob Larance.

The 6,000-square-foot grocery store (with its complete disregard for modernization) is charming and snug by today’s grocery standards.

Roy Pope was one of the ﬁrst in town to deliver right to your door. They also introduced the ﬁrst curbside delivery, which is still known as “Will Call.” Loyal customers have long been calling in their order and having it bagged and brought out the car for convenience.

Tom Thumb was founded in Dallas in 1948, and it has become a trusted source in North Texas, along with its siblings Albertsons and Randall’s. Tom Thumb was the ﬁrst to introduce frozen vegetable cases and the ﬁrst to have a combo grocery and pharmacy under one roof.

Tom Thumb offers store brands like Own Brands, O Organic and Open Nature, along with hundreds of other organic and natural food items including handcut fresh fruits and vegetables.

1994

H-E-B launched Central Market in 1994.

It’s well-known for having the most extensive selection under one roof. Their vast offerings of imported and local items, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and seafood, are as wide ranging as it gets.

The meat department offers complimentary marinades and seasonings. An on-site wine steward can help with pairings, and a staffed ﬂoral department can handle custom orders.

The meandering ﬂoorplan always has something new to ogle over. The cheese shop alone can stop you in your tracks.

Fort Worth customers can have items delivered in less than an hour thanks to a partnership with Instacart. Fees vary.

Central Market launched its ﬁrst-ever curbside service in Texas at our very own Fort Worth location in February. There is no minimum order to use the curbside service, only a pick-up fee of $4.95 plus a 3 percent personal shopping fee added to the total order.

NATURAL GROCER TRADER JOE’S WHOLE FOODSSPROUTS

1955

Founded in 1955, Natural Grocer has made a recent push in Tarrant County with four stores, including two in Fort Worth, one in Hurst and one in Keller.

“Every product we sell in our stores is sold for a reason and a purpose, and not just because it sells,” says Kemper Isely, co-president of Natural Grocers. Natural Grocers offers a “clean” shopping experience with 100 percent organic produce, naturally raised meats, free-range eggs, pasture-based dairy, non-GMO prepackaged bulk products, and groceries that don’t contain any artiﬁcial colors, ﬂavors, sweeteners or preservatives.

Each store has a resident nutritional health coach to help you as you shop. They offer free science-based nutrition classes, cooking demonstrations, and in-store presentations. You can even schedule a personal one-on-one health coaching session.

Like Tom Thumb, Natural Grocers partners with Instacart, which operates as a same-day

grocery delivery service.

2012

This cult-favorite Californiabased grocery store started in 1967 and opened its ﬁrst Fort Worth store in 2012.

The ﬂoorplan is compact, yet wide-ranging, offering plenty of organic options alongside some real indulgent items. “All of our products are taste tested by a panel before they hit the shelves. If they don’t love it, we don’t stock it,” says Kenya Friend-Daniel, Trader Joe’s public relations director.

2017

Fort Worth ﬁnally landed a Whole Foods in 2017 when the Austin-based grocer opened at Waterside. There are also stores in Arlington and Colleyville.

Low prices. “We keep the middleman out and work directly with our suppliers, which keeps our prices low,” says Daniel. Trader Joe’s also strives to keep a fun and casual vibe. Staffers wear Hawaiian shirts, and you won’t notice typical grocery PA systems, rather employees communicate via a “morse code-like” bell system.

Whole Foods features over 500 local products on their shelves from more than 300 Texas suppliers, with many from the Fort Worth-Dallas area. A few of those local partners include Leaf Safari, Holy Kombucha, Soap Girl and Mill King Dairy. While at the heart of the store, The Bar features 16 draft beers including several local beers, 12 televisions, a custom shufﬂeboard and cozy seating. There’s also a full range of bulk offerings including ﬂours, nuts, dried fruit, cereals, trail mixes, honey and candy.

Sprouts opened its ﬁrst store in 2002 aiming to create a grocery experience where “you didn’t have to be wealthy to eat healthy.” Today there are about 300 locations, including two in Fort Worth, as well as Arlington and Keller locations.

“We let our customers vote with their dollar and switch out our stock to meet their demands,” Friend-Daniel says.

A full-service seafood shop with experienced ﬁshmongers can custom cut, season, steam, ﬁlet or portion your order for free. Ready-to-cook items are featured alongside seafood smoked in-store, with custom smoking available at no charge.

The meat and fish market is home to an in-house, full-service butcher — ideal for customers with special requirements or looking for custom cuts. “Since our roots go back to farmers markets, Sprouts’ layout is open by design. Our fresh produce is actually our biggest traffic driver; that’s why it is centrally located in our stores,” says Kalia Pang, senior public relations specialist for Sprouts. The colorful produce is also attractively priced, with weekly specials that focus attention on specific items.

Concierge services include personal shopping with curbside pickup for a ﬂat $5 fee. Shoppers can also enjoy additional savings through the Whole Foods Market Rewards app to access digital coupons, in addition to the full line of 365 Everyday Value products throughout the store.

While you won’t ﬁnd any of the traditional sodas, snacks and candy found in most stores, you won’t miss it much. “We are a complete grocery store, not a specialty store,” Pang says. One of the most unique sections is the vast assortment of health and wellness supplements packed into each store, saving you a trip to a health or vitamin shop.

Sprouts launched Instacart, a personal shopping and delivery service, in February.

Like Cool Ranch Doritos, Paqui Cool Salsa Verde chips are a much healthier option.

Trader Joe’s has become the go-to spot for peonies when the season hits in April and May. Shoppers can score six stems of peonies for $6.99.

Smoked Atlantic Salmon Candy is akin to bacon burnt ends at Heim Barbeque. Soapgirl is a line of artisan soaps from Dallas. Try the grapefruit and sea salt.

Bright and fresh-tasting, Sprouts Marinara Pasta Sauce is the ideal canvas for many Italian dishes.

Home of Dreams 2018: Westlake

Builder PentaVia follows several design roads that all lead to the same place: advanced luxury.

BY SCOTT NISHIMURA

FOLLOW THE PROGRESS OF 2210 COSTA DEL SOL IN EACH ISSUE OF FORT WORTH MAGAZINE.

Atour of Fort Worth Magazine’s 2018 Home of Dreams, under construct ion on a bluff in Westlake’s Granada development, represents a journey down what the builder, PentaVia Custom Homes, calls ﬁve roads unique to luxury homebuilding.

Together, the roads — physical, social, intellectual, emotional and personal — reﬁne luxury, Curt DuBose, PentaVia’s managing partner, says. Homes are no longer just structures to live in. Rather, they foster communication, relationships, thought and creativity, help create lifelong

moments and memories, and challenge you personally, says Curt DuBose, PentaVia’s managing partner.

That might seem like a tall order for something that starts with concrete, rebar and two-by-fours, but PentaVia has rethought even that. “It’s not about ﬁve bedrooms and ﬁve baths; we’re trying to go deeper,” DuBose says.

The 2018 Home of Dreams is a 6,465-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bath, modern traditional hacienda, designed by architect John Hathaway of Austin’s Vanguard Studio, and expected to be complete later this year. Dona Robinson, of Allie Beth Allman & Associates, the magazine’s official dream home Realtor, has listed the home, 2210 Costa Del Sol, at $2.895 million. Upon completion, the Home of Dreams will be open for tours that benefit the magazine’s official charity, a Wish with Wings.

It’s the magazine’s second luxury feature home in Granada; a PentaVia predecessor built our 2017 Dream Home in the luxury custom development, just minutes from Texas 114 and amenities like Southlake Town Square.

PentaVia’s roadmap starts with the straightforward physical. “A great home is clearly more than just wood, metal, glass and stone,” the company says. “Rather, the structure itself is the starting point for an unparalleled living experience.” Milestones on the “physical road” include the highest materials, energyefﬁciency and craftsmanship, and safe, secure, smart and “exceptionally livable” design, PentaVia says.

Windows and doors are recessed in a 2-by-10-inch-deep exterior wall framed of two-by-six and two-by-four walls. Hurricane clips tie the structure to the foundation. PentaVia encloses all of its homes in ZipWall structural sheathing and moisture barrier, with taped seams. “This is not Tyvek, this is not a house wrap,” DuBose said during a recent walking tour of the construction site. “Water cannot penetrate this surface. It completely zips up the house.”

The Home of Dreams is foam-encapsulated. Air and heat is delivered through a high-velocity air duct system that can ﬁt inside a two-by-four wall. “Those big

grilles you normally see, those go away completely,” DuBose said. The air ﬁlters perform better, a fresh air system swaps new air for the old, and a humidity control allows the thermostats to be run at higher temperatures. “I can run my system, and it’s going to feel like it’s 73 [degrees] inside the house because the humidity level’s been controlled,” DuBose said.

PentaVia’s design also places a premium on open sight lines through the house and around the property. To create a big ﬁrst-ﬂoor open space with sight lines from the kitchen through the great room to the study, and from the entry to the glass and steel-framed backyard wall, PentaVia is running two 40-foot-long steel I-beam headers to carry the loads.

“Somebody who’s buying a luxury home really wants to maximize all areas of their home,” DuBose says. “They really want to appreciate all aspects of their home. Sight lines do that.”

Glass windows in the bathroom will bring in natural light but also turn opaque for privacy.

Open sight lines define the first floor of the home, offering a clear view from the kitchen to the great room.

“You literally set up those moments inside the house that last a lifetime. That’s taking luxury to another level.”

Curt DuBose

PentaVia’s “social road” means designing homes that help increase communication and help develop relationships.

“So many other builders follow predictable designs: placing media rooms upstairs and focusing the living room on a giant TV, distracting and dividing families,” PentaVia says. “However, our homes are designed to foster genuine interactions with real people doing life together.”

PentaVia likes to hide living room TVs and locate media rooms close to the kitchen, which it views as the “never center” of any home, so conversation flows and “joyful sounds and savory aromas of holiday meals” attract guests before the official dinner bell. Our Home of Dreams includes touches like a first-floor media room that’s off of the kitchen. DuBose has designed his own home to de-emphasize television in the living room. The result: His kids spend much more time conversing. “The center of the home is no longer the TV,” DuBose says.

PentaVia spends a lot of time on the “emotional road,” using design, technology and other tools to create memories. One example DuBose likes to use is how your home presents on Christmas morning. “You literally set up those moments inside the house that last a lifetime,” he says. “That’s taking luxury to another level. Now we’re beginning to deﬁne

luxury not just in granite or quartz countertops or high-end ﬁnish out, but the way the home creates special unique moments like a wedding, like Christmas, those moments are the ones that are going to last a lifetime.”

Our Home of Dreams owners will be able to step into a room, and, using voice commands, order up mood. “Literally, the lights will change, the music will change, and suddenly, ‘Silent Night’ will play, or ‘I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,’” DuBose says. He’s working on setting up a complete “Christmas moment” in the home, one of ﬁve “experiences” he’s setting up.

PentaVia’s “intellectual road” is one where it uses design to encourage creative thinking. Moving the media room downstairs is one example — the company’s roads often intersect, DuBose says. “We design spaces so kids get outside of the box. Kids often get stuck playing video games.”

He’s built performance stages in game rooms, with a working microphone and a curtain that closes. “I don’t know a kid on the face of the planet that wouldn’t run up to a microphone and begin trying to sing karaoke,” DuBose says. Bedrooms with kids’ lofts and craft rooms are details PentaVia often adds for clients. “We’re dropping the electronics, and we’re thinking outside the box,” he says.

On the “personal road,” PentaVia looks to create spaces that “challenge and encourage you personally.” This includes spaces like the Home of Dreams’ ﬁrstﬂoor, ventilated cigar room; 1,000-bottle wine room adjacent to the great room; and reading nook in the master bedroom.

The ﬁrst-ﬂoor master suite includes giant walk-in, his-and-hers closets, secret entry into the study, and laundry; the upstairs kids’ bedrooms have their own laundry center. The master bath includes a tub with big glass windows for direct light; one-touch button takes the glass from transparent to opaque. “It’ll block out and create complete privacy,” DuBose said.

The food-prep space includes a main kitchen and separate catering kitchen. “If you are a person who ﬁnds solace in cooking, you’re going to get it in spades here,” DuBose says.

the children’s beds. “I like to foster reading,” he says. “We want to provide a place for them to turn the light on, pick up that book, spend some time reading.”

Outside, the gated, front-entry courtyard will have stucco privacy walls and a fountain with running water. In the backyard, the pool has a negative edge, swim-up bar, cabana and spa. The backyard will be graded so, sitting in the pool, you won’t be able to see the rooﬂines of homes below.

PentaVia is wiring the Home of Dreams and setting its technological foundation up for the future and uses of artiﬁcial intelligence, DuBose says. Homes of the future will be highly intelligent. “As this begins to grow, it’ll begin to learn at 5 o’clock, when you come into the kitchen, you don’t like the lights to come blaring on,” DuBose says. “You want them to be just dim, and you want the coffee to start.

Not only that, it’ll learn you want the coffee to start 30 minutes before you get up at ﬁve so it’s hot and ready to go. It’s learning your habits and how you interact.”

In the Home of Dreams, “we’re going to be able to show off a segment of that,” DuBose says. “That technology’s got to get a little bit better. But that’s absolutely where things are going in the industry. So how do we wire? How do we set the house up? We understand that’s where it’s going.”

The Home of Dreams will be able to interact, for example, with smart nursery systems and VitalBand from Sensogram Technologies, a Plano company that offers a fully automatic fall detection smart watch that alerts caregivers, medical professionals and family members if you fall or are in distress. VitalBand also monitors vital signs — heart rate, respiratory rate and calories burned — and allows users to set medication reminders, calendar alerts and ﬁtness goals.

Similarly, smart nursery technologies allow parents, for example, to watch their sleeping babies with video and vital sign monitoring. “When you look over, you see the baby, and you also see a little tiny green dot on your control panel letting you know all the vital signs are good; the baby’s resting well,” DuBose said.

A 1,000-bottle wine closet sits adjacent to the kitchen and great room.

Top Doctors 2018

From

allergy to urology, here are the Tarrant County area’s ﬁnest physicians, as chosen by their peers.

BY SCOTT NISHIMURA

Looking for a physician? Here’s Fort Worth Magazine’s 2018 Top Doctors list, 530 physicians who’ve been chosen among the region’s ﬁnest physicians, as voted on by their peers.

The magazine annually publishes an online ballot for Fort Worth-area physicians to vote on who they think are the best doctors. We establish a minimum number of required votes to make it on our list, vet every physician through the Texas Medical Board for disciplinary history, and ask more than two dozen physicians to review our ﬁnal list and make recommendations. The result is this year’s Top Docs.

The physicians who received the most votes in each category appear in boldface. And for the first time, the magazine has highlighted this year’s physicians who’ve appeared on at least five, 10 and 15 of the Top Docs lists we’ve published since our first one in 2001. Two physicians – infectious disease specialist Cheryl McDonald and orthopedic surgeon John Conway – have appeared on all 18 Top Docs lists. Our notations may be useful to our readers as indicators of a physician’s longevity but should not be viewed as measures of quality of care.

Supportive and Palliative Care Striving to Make A Difference

Shawnta Pittman-Hobbs, MD Medical Director of Supportive

and Palliative Care

Supportive and Palliative (SPC) strives to meet the needs of patients and families as they journey through unfamiliar territory in the face of serious illness. (SPC) is often misperceived as a service primarily for the dying patient, but it is appropriate at any age and any stage in patients with serious, chronic, life- threatening illness. Our services seek to meet patients and families where they are emotionally, physically and spiritually. We provide patient centered care and establish realistic goals using a multidisciplinary team approach. When disease is irreversible, it brings forth physical and emotional pain. Supportive and Palliative Care provides compassionate care and symptom management. Although we are unable to make patients whole, we can restore their sense of wholeness with empathy and recognition of concerns during moments of suffering to provide relief and comfort. By striving to make a difference, SPC is the true essence of quality care.

Our Services are available via hospital based inpatient palliative care consultation, which can be initiated by a medical provider during hospital admission.

Texas Health Care Obstetrics and Gynecology is a premier group at Paul and Judy Andrews Women’s Hospital at Baylor Scott and White, a facility just for women. As board certiﬁed OBGYNs, we provide care through a woman’s entire life, including fertility care, hormone replacement therapy, treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome, permanent sterilization and long-acting reversible contraception.

We actively research new techniques and bring the most promising to our practice, including the DaVinci Robot, in-ofﬁce Essure tubal sterilizations and uterine ablations, and the MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser. We practice evidencebased medicine, but our Texas roots remind us each patient is an individual. We live our lives and raise our families alongside our patients.

Silver Lining

BY HEYWOOD ILLUSTRATION BY CHARLES MARSH

There are some things I’m never going to understand. That would include Bitcoins, why they never gave the “second rule” of Fight Club, and our current health care system. That last one really bafﬂes me. For instance, why do facilities that provide urgent care have a waiting room? And if I have to take a certain medicine for the rest of my life, why does the bottle it comes in always say “no reﬁlls”? It may not be better, but health care sure seemed simpler years ago. I still miss the house calls. Call me old-fashioned, but I won’t respond because that’s not my name.

Now don’t get me wrong. I certainly prefer today’s medical treatment over some of the treatments that were available when I was growing up. Procedures like lobotomies and prescribing cigarettes for asthma actually continued until the ’50s. True story. And today’s physicians are highly trained and love their profession. But if they don’t seem as happy on the golf course as they used to be, there’s a reason. A recent article by a cardiologist gave several reasons. First of all, the mountain of paperwork that is required to be completed under the current health care system. To ﬁll it out takes up to 10 hours of ofﬁce time a week. That’s equivalent to two rounds of golf. Three, if they stay out of the 19th hole. It also could affect their relationship with their patients, because they can’t spend as much time with them. Then there’s the uncertainty of the health care system itself.

Adverse changes could

be coming. Nobody really knows. But a number of them are experiencing declining incomes because some insurance companies don’t give them total reimbursement for services provided. Sometimes what a doctor feels are necessary treatments are not even covered. And the patients can’t afford the out-of-pocket charges. What’s really troublesome is some great doctors in the lower-paying specialties, like family medicine, are having to drop out of the profession because they can’t afford to stay with it. That’s why fewer medical students are getting into that area of medicine. So, what’s the possible future of medical care? Are you ready? House calls. Yep. We’re going back to the future. Because of the advancement in technology, doctors can have all the diagnostic equipment that only used to be in offices and hospitals in the palm of their hand. They can actually make more money because those office expenses will no longer be eating up their profit. Plus, a large segment of the population is aging, and many of them are unable to get around like before. They’re called baby boomers. And more and more of us are becoming a “Silver Alert” waiting to happen. And what’s the future of a doctor’s office 10 or 15 years from now? By then,

many patients will have wearable technology that can give their doctor real-time heath information. From almost anywhere, they’ll be able to monitor things like a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure and sleep patterns. I don’t know if it will monitor alcohol levels, but you still may want to slip it off before heading to Eddie V’s. More good news. Waiting rooms will be phased out because the doctor will have most of your information before you arrive. Of course, this is bad news for you folks that enjoy reading two-year-old copies of People magazine.

Many visits to the doctor won’t have to take place because of video technology. Most minor ailments can be dealt with this way. This will also allow doctors to see more patients, which will alleviate the problem of a future provider shortage. Once again, check out your surroundings before you turn the video on. You don’t want a doctor seeing all those McDonald’s wrappers on your bed or having to explain the hitchhiker in your basement.

Now the big question is how much will all this new medical technology cost the patient? My guess is, it will vary with each doctor, depending on his house payment, car payment, country club dues and the number of trips each year to San Miguel. I’m just hoping that before then, doctors can ﬁnally answer the question a number of baby boomers are now asking: When we go to sleep at night, how come our bladders are always set an hour earlier than our alarms?

Cosmetic Dentistry

by Dr. Kelly Blair

I chose to make Fort Worth my home because of the people, and I truly feel that my profession as a cosmetic dentist here has allowed me to capture the kindness and generosity of the locals through restoring healthy, genuine smiles. I have demonstrated my dedication to a higher level of dentistry by becoming certiﬁed in Implants, Six Month Smile, Invisalign, and accredited in Sedation. My goal as a cosmetic dentist is to truly understand the patient and ﬁnd treatment options that meet his or her end goals. Each patient is different, and my team and I have the resources and experience that can make those smile dreams a reality. Hands down, my wow factor is my entire team’s commitment to oral health and comfort. From the moment patients walk in the door, we work to make sure the experience is entirely personalized.

The 2018 Spring and Summer Events Preview

Festivals, events and extravaganzas dominate the Fort Worth calendar when the sun starts shining again. Here, a rundown of some of the biggest events in the city between now and the end of summer.

BY SHILO URBAN

Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival

Brunch to burgers and beyond with the best local chefs. So, you live for brunch. A cheeseburger is your spirit sandwich. Or perhaps you wear a ring with the word “TACOS” engraved on it. Follow your foodie dreams to the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival, a four-day weekend that’s worth getting fat for. Intrepid souls can opt for the full festival pass and eat their way through all six events, but you can also pick and choose with individual tickets. Dozens of local chefs come out to play at the festival, and all four Texas food groups are wellrepresented: burgers, barbecue, tacos and beer. Everyone is talking about this year’s new event, Tacos + Tequila, which kicks things off on Thursday night. Try tacos from eight trendsetting chefs paired with eight different tequilas. Rise + Dine is a day drinker’s delight, an indoor/outdoor brunch smorgasbord complete with coffee cocktails and couches on the grass. Party-seekers will ﬁnd what they’re looking for (along with a sugar coma) at Desserts After Dark. It’s the late-night after-party for the lavish Main Event dinner, and many revelers arrive already well-sauced. Families ﬂock to Burgers, Brews + Blues, and Pitmasters Picnic wraps up the festival with a slow-smoked feast on Sunday afternoon. WHEN: April 5-8 WHERE: Pier 1 Imports Building, Heart of the Ranch at Clearfork, Whiskey Ranch, and BRIK Venue in Fort Worth PRICE: $60-150 per event, $450 full festival pass 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

TIPS TO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY EVENT:

Arrive early for the smallest crowds; come late for the liveliest energy.

For spring and fall events, dress in layers and always check the weather before you go.

CFW Festival

Craft Beer, Food, and Wine, plus Josh Abbott Band and Young the Giant. Sliding onto the scene at Globe Life Park this spring, the inaugural CFW Festival hopes to make a splash with a multi-sensory celebration of sight, sound and taste. Popup booths will host 30 different restaurants, wineries and craft beer vendors with a focus on North Texas microbreweries.

High-tech RFID wristbands will make it easy to buy food and drinks at the festival without slinging a bunch of cash around.

Cross-cultural celebration with multiple music genres. Jazz is just the beginning at this sprawling outdoor event, which covers 32 grassy acres in Denton’s Quakertown Park.

Headliners for 2018 include Los Lobos (Chicano-Americana), Randy Brecker (powerhouse trumpeter), and Brave Combo (Denton’s Grammy Awardwinning worldbeat/rock/polka band). Feast on indulgent fair food: grilled meats on sticks, chocolate-dipped cheesecake and deep-fried everything. Over 300 artists and vendors set up shop at the festival, selling homemade soy candles, handmade dolls, ﬁne artwork and metal crafts. Kids can croon along with the Singing Cowboy and bang out their energy at the Percussion Petting Zoo. Be sure to bring cash, as many vendors don’t accept credit cards. Lawn chairs and/or blankets are also essential for seating — get there early and claim a comfortable spot under a shade tree.

MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival

Award-winning creative showcase of art, music and food. Texas’ biggest art festival brings out the big guns on the red bricks of Downtown Fort Worth. You won’t ﬁnd any starving artists here. These painters, sculptors and photographers are carefully selected for their top-tier talent; only 223 artists out of 1,273 applicants were selected for 2018. The result is a captivating, multimedia exhibition of truly impressive works created by the ﬁnest artisans. Be wowed by super-realistic oil paintings, cool kinetic sculptures and Day of the Dead dioramas. Buy a steampunk bracelet or a birdhouse made of doorknobs. Thumb through stacks of $20 prints or invest in an epic-sized masterpiece to happy up your home.

This year, the festival plans to refocus on its roots: art, food and music. You’ll notice a welcome change in the form of fewer booths from sponsors and outside organizations. “Basically, we’re getting rid of the ‘clutter’ and going back to the original ‘meat’ of the festival: world-class art, live music, and culinary treats,” explains Claire Bloxom Armstrong, the event’s public relations director. Musical headliners for 2018 include Jamestown Revival, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Paciﬁc Mambo Orchestra, and Shane Smith & The Saints. Hit the craft beer garden, pick up a plate of jambalaya, and immerse yourself in the creative whirl of the MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival.

Scarborough Renaissance Festival

A reality escape with dragon rides, sword ﬁghts, and spaghetti juggling. Do you have a thing for mermaids or knights in shining armor? Have you always wanted to cheer at a combat joust or feast with the Royal Court? Maybe you’re just jonesing for a “Game of Thrones” ﬁx — or dying to wear your Halloween costume again before fall. Dust off that Jon Snow cloak and get thee to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.

If you haven’t been in a while, this is the year to gather your ladies-inwaiting and go. More than a dozen new shows are being added to the entertainment lineup, including acrobats, lifesize puppets, a hoop enchantress, stilt walkers, silk aerialists, and a spaghetti juggler. A new Royal Court arrives on the scene with Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon on the throne. Their realm is a recreated 16th-century English village complete with 27 stages, 200 shops, 12 taverns and ﬁve food courts. Expect more pomp and pageantry than ever before, from ornate décor to fanfare ceremonies with trumpets blazing. Grab a giant turkey leg and mingle with 150 costumed characters: peasants, nobles, merchants, wenches and jesters. Watch candle makers, blacksmiths and armorers practice ancient crafts. Be wowed by historical weapons demos, and dip your hand in hot wax for a weird yet colorful keepsake. Find mythical monsters, kiddie rides and proof that reality really is overrated.

WHEN: April 7-May 28 on Saturdays, Sundays and Memorial Day WHERE: 2511 FM 66 in Waxahachie PRICE: $28 adults, $13 children ages 5-12, free for children 4 and under

Fort Worth Invitational

Fort Worth’s Annual PGA Tour Stop Returns for 72nd Year. In fall 2017, the existence of the Colonial Invitational was in question as title sponsors Dean & DeLuca pulled out just two years into their six-year contract. But golf fans can breathe easy because the celebrated competition, now named The Fort Worth Invitational, will deﬁnitely be taking place again this spring. First played in 1946, the tournament is a deep-rooted Fort Worth tradition and the longestrunning PGA Tour event still being played at its original site. Club and city leaders have scrambled to ﬁnd a replacement sponsor in order to keep the tournament going. American Airlines, AT&T, XTO Energy Inc., and Burlington Northern Santa Fe will sponsor the event this year.

Taking place on the week leading up to Memorial Day, this seven-day competition offers ample opportunities to watch some of the top golfers in the game. As one of only ﬁve PGA Tour stops given “invitational” status (versus open), the Fort Worth Invitational is limited to the very best players. Defending champion Kevin Kisner is expected to return for this year’s tournament, which features a purse of $7.1 million and $1,278,000 for the winner. WHEN: May 21-27 WHERE: Colonial Country Club, 3735 Country Club Circle in Fort Worth PRICE: $50 adults for daily grounds access, $15 youth ages 1317, free for children 12 and under

Wonder-filled waterfront celebration at Trinity Park. Boasting a beautiful setting on the banks of the Trinity River, Mayfest is a whimsical springtime tradition that has delighted locals for almost half a century. The four-day fun fest has always been a favorite for families, but this year the event is making more of an effort to appeal to all ages. Over 40 musical acts will entertain the crowds from three different stages, including the Honda of Fort Worth Pavilion main stage. With ample seating, a massive tent, and plenty of beverage booths, this riverfront oasis is the heart of the festival. Tori Martin, Trey & The Tritones, and Me & My Monkey Beatles tribute band are all scheduled to perform. Nearby you can watch cowboys do rodeo tricks with mechanical cows and horses at the Rodeo Zone, which is new for 2018. The Great American Duck Races will also return, along with the popular Best of the Fest Food Contest. Sip local brews in the craft beer garden and get your thrills at the newly expanded carnival.

Slamming onto the scene for the ﬁrst time last year, Fortress Festival returns in full force for 2018 with another innovative lineup of boundarybreaking artists. The two-day event has already attracted national attention, propelling Fort Worth forward as a major music destination. Festival fans will ﬁnd some big changes this time around, starting with the location of the outdoor stages. Both will be contained within a single perimeter on the grounds of Will Rogers Memorial Center. Spectators will still have access to exhibits and programming at The Modern but will no longer have to hike half a mile between stages and pass the wristband patrol with every bounce.

Fortress Festival brings fresh faces and sounds to Fort Worth with a lineup that pays more attention to what’s good than what’s hot. Discovering new favorites is a highlight of the weekend. Top performers this year include Father John Misty (provocative mad genius indie rocker), Courtney Barnett (witty Australian singer-songwriter), De La Soul (legendary hip hop outsiders), RZA (Wu-Tang frontman), Chicano Batman (Latin soul revivalists), and tUnE-yArDs (eclectic lo-ﬁ art pop). Also on the lineup: The Voidz, Rapsody, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Waxahatchee, Shabazz Palaces, Lee Fields and the Expressions, Jay Som, The Texas Gentlemen, Bedouine, Vandoliers, Ronnie Heart, Cure for Paranoia, Andy Pickett, Midnight Opera, Henry the Archer, and Pearl Earl.

Bedford Blues & BBQ Festival

Legendary backyard brouhaha and barbecue brawl. Smoke ﬁlls the air with the mouthwatering aroma of slow-cooked meat, and blues artists heat up the stage at this Labor Day Weekend event. Pitmaster pros from around the world battle for glory in a thick competition sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. Bedford’s famous cook-off has been featured on numerous TV shows, including BBQ Pitmasters. Watch the masters of smoke and ﬁre throw down on beef brisket, pork ribs, and barbecue chicken — and then sample the best of the best at the People’s Choice Event.

Besides the official competition, you’ll find plenty of barbecue treats, funnel cakes, and corn dogs for stuffing your face. Cool off under a shade tree and kick it to super-solid music from some of the top blues musicians in the biz. Shop for random treasures at the market, from artwork to handmade jewelry to spice rubs. Kids are welcome at the festival, but it’s really more oriented toward adults. Spring for reserved seats near the stage or a table in the party tent; otherwise, bring a blanket and find a sweet spot on the grass.

WHEN: Aug. 31-Sept. 2 WHERE: 1951 L. Don Dodson Drive in Bedford PRICE: $7 general admission online or $10 at gate (cash only), free admission on Aug. 31

Rockin’ the River

Free outdoor concerts and tube floats on the Trinity every week. Grab an inner tube and cool off on Saturdays this summer with live bands on the Trinity River. Bobbing in the water with an ice-cold beer in your hand is a quintessential summer experience for many Texans. This weekly concert series at Panther Island Pavilion turns it into a bonafide party with nonstop music and a fireworks finale, all set against the backdrop of downtown Fort Worth. Five different bands play back-to-back sets each week on two stages. You’ll hear mostly Texas country artists with a little rock and soul thrown in for kicks. Performers confirmed for summer 2018 include Cody Canada and The Departed, The Dirty River Boys, Jackie Venson, The Peterson Brothers, Dalton Domino, and local favorites Grady Spencer & The Work. Rent tubes (or bring your own) and listen to the music from the water. You can also rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards — all watercraft are welcome as long as they’re not motorized. Beer stands and food trucks provide fuel for the all-day event. Gates open at 1 p.m. each week, with music at the Coors Light Waterfront Stage starting at 2:15 p.m. After the headliner wraps up at 8:15 p.m., the party moves onshore with the last band playing until 9:15 p.m. A fireworks show over the Trinity River is the perfect nightcap.

Bria Takes Flight

BY COURTNEY DABNEY

After a tour of duty working alongside the likes of Chef David McMillan at the Meddlesome Moth in Dallas and opening another Shannon Wynne establishment, Bird Café, as pastry chef, Bria Downey has broken out of the mold. Downey worked as sous-chef for the ﬁrst year of Piattello Italian Kitchen before recently being tapped by Marcus Paslay to lead the kitchen at Clay Pigeon, where her twin sister, Tatiana, works behind the bar. We chatted with the chef as she prepped for her starring role.

Q. Your Instagram handle is @bakebriabake, and I know you began as a wildly creative pastry chef. Is pastry still your ﬁrst love?

A. Pastry is still my favorite thing. It’s the ﬁnishing touch on a ﬁne meal — the note to leave on. I love to watch people’s eyes light up when they are presented with a dessert. It’s something so easily overlooked, but special occasions are always celebrated with sweets. I am making a few changes to the dessert menu, and I hope our customers will enjoy them.

Q. What’s it like working with your twin sister? Do you have one of those telepathic twin relationships where

communication can be nonverbal?

A. We do think alike. We also feed on each other’s energy and get really amped up. Sometimes it’s like surround sound. Some of our regulars have been surprised to see both of us. It’s like seeing double.

Q. What’s your favorite drink that Tatiana makes?

A. She just added a new drink that I love. We don’t have a name for it yet, but it is a housemade pistachio orgeat syrup, muddled cucumber and lime with a splash of Topo Chico.

Q. You are a female chef in a lead role. In the wake of the #metoo movement, how

do you set the tone in your kitchen?

A. Throughout my career, I’ve never felt subjugated. We have a job to do. I treat my kitchen the same way I have always been treated and plan to lead by example.

Q. What’s the last thing you cooked at home?

A. I got a bone-in ribeye at Central Market and served it with oven-roasted squash and asparagus, and a snap pea gremolata, with orange zest and radishes.

Q. What’s it like working for Chef Paslay?

A. This is the ﬁrst time I have worked for a chef/owner. He is obsessed with his All Clad pans, which are also really heavy. When I asked him why he prefers them, he said, “I can taste the difference!” That’s a good example of how he does things the chef way. He buys quality, longlasting appliances and tools.

He is also a family man, himself, and understands how hard it is to balance, and when you need time off. He understands that if you are happy at home, you’ll be happy at work.

The Fest Master

A chat with Russell Kirkpatrick before his Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival kicks off for its ﬁfth year.

BY MALCOLM MAYHEW

Often, great ideas are met with support; Russell Kirkpatrick’s was met with a threat.

Several years ago, Kirkpatrick — the general manager of downtown restaurant Reata — came up with an idea for Fort Worth: Let’s have a food festival. Not just a little, one-day, one-event kind of festival, like Taste of (insert name of suburb here). But the type of food festival that big cities with big restaurant scenes have. Multiple events held over multiple days. A cross section of cuisines. Local celebrity chefs and up-and-comers. That kind of thing.

Kirkpatrick’s ambitious idea, he says, turned him — and his wife Jennifer — into bona ﬁde wrecks. Mulling over how to pull it off, he’d toss and turn all night, keeping Jennifer up. He’d prattle on about it all day, bending her ear until it practically fell off. He was, by his own admission, a nonstop, 24-hour annoyance.

“I was getting up at 4 in the morning, putting thoughts down on paper, talking her ear off, driving her nuts,” says Kirkpatrick. “It got to the point where she said, ‘You either need to go talk to your boss about it or not talk to me about it again — ever, ever again.’ She was serious so I talked to [Reata owner] Mike [Micallef] that night about it, and he said, ‘Do it.’ And we were off and running.”

Kirkpatrick’s idea — and Jennifer’s threat — evolved into the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival, which this year celebrates its ﬁfth anniversary. Held April 5-8 throughout the city, the festival will spotlight the handiwork of area chefs while raising money for local culinary students. Proceeds from the festival go to the Fort Worth Food + Wine Foundation, a nonprof-

it organization that raises funds for local grant programs and culinary scholarships.

It wasn’t that long ago when a food and wine festival in Fort Worth might not have been met with much support.

“Ten years ago, I’m not sure we could have put this together,” says Kirkpatrick, who co-founded the festival with Micallef. “But ﬁve years ago, the timing was perfect. There was so much happening — Magnolia Avenue was really starting to take off. So many new places were opening all over the city. Fort Worth’s attitude toward food was really starting to change — for the better.”

To organize the original festival, an advisory board was put together, made up of local chefs, food writers and restaurantindustry types, all of whom knew food but not necessarily festivals.

“That was the funny thing — all these food people came together, and then we were like, ‘Well, what do we do now?’”

For starters, Kirkpatrick and other organizers checked out similar festivals in locales like Austin, Aspen and Charleston, taking note of what they liked and what they didn’t.

“We pretty much patterned our festival after the one in Charleston, but on a much smaller scale,” he says. “Theirs is absolutely huge. It takes over the entire city. I’d love to see ours turn into something like theirs, but that’s way down the road.”

For now, the FWFWF is made up of six main events and a handful of smaller events. Kicking off the fest this year is the brand-new Tacos + Tequila, taking place April 5 at the BRIK Venue. This taco and tequila pairing will feature chefs

such as Salsa Limon’s Keith Grober, Sarah Castillo from Taco Heads and Del Norte Tacos’ Chris Garcia.

The festival’s centerpiece remains the Main Event, taking place April 6 at the Pier 1 Imports building. Local top-tier chefs brandishing bite-size samples of their cuisine include Molly McCook from Ellerbe Fine Foods, Jon Bonnell of Waters and Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine and Ben Merritt of Fixture.

Following the Main Event will be the late night Desserts After Dark, happening at a new venue this year: Firestone & Robertson’s Whiskey Ranch. A dozen local pastry chefs, including fest newcomer Liz Lanier of JOY Macarons, will drum up their ﬁnest sweet treats, while mixologists concoct sweet, boozy sips.

Saturday will bring two events: the brunch-inspired Rise + Dine in the afternoon at Pier 1 and the Burgers, Brews + Blues burger competition in the evening at Heart of the Ranch at Clearfork.

The festival will wrap Sunday with the annual barbecue competition and showcase, featuring pitmasters near and far duking it out for a best ’cue trophy. The event has a new name, Pitmasters Picnic, and a new location, Heart of the Ranch at Clearfork.

On opening night, there’s also a wine dinner taking place at Reata, featuring a half-dozen former Reata chefs, including Tim Love and Grady Spears.

“It’s sort of the ﬁrst step in overlapping events,” Kirkpatrick says. “Some people may not want to walk around eating tacos,” he says. “They may want to go to a nice sit-down wine dinner. Some people might rather go to a champagne tasting than a burger tasting. That’s the kind of stuff we want to do and where we’d like to be in another ﬁve years.”

He’s Back

A well-known local chef resurfaces with a straightforward Texas-inspired menu near Eagle Mountain Lake.

BY COURTNEY DABNEY

Boo-Ray’s of New Orleans may have vacated the space and moved just down Boat Club Road, but a few Cajun dishes still remain on the new menu of Eagle Mountain Tavern, which took up residence in that spot last December.

The former head chef of Reata, Brian Olenjack opened his namesake Olenjack’s Grille in Arlington, which had a successful run for nearly eight years. When it closed in 2015, the chef took some time

off — about three years to be exact, leaving many wondering when and where he would resurface.

The spacious Eagle Mountain Tavern has a simple, uncluttered appeal with gray plaster walls. It is a multi-bar and separate party-room affair that was positively brimming on a recent weekend evening. A walled-off bar area provides a sports bar feel on one side with scattered ﬂat screens, and more of a lounge area on the other, featuring live music on the weekends.

My dining companion is not a fan of fried green tomatoes; otherwise, I would have been happily digging into those cornmeal-crusted beauties topped with Tasso ham and shrimp with a side of fresh remoulade for dipping.

Instead, we sampled the intriguing Tequila & Brown Sugar Shrimp ($10). The generous portion was eye-catching with eight plump tail-on shrimps arranged atop a mound of corn relish and bathed in a brown sugar sauce, and a topknot

Cider Braised Pork Loin

of microgreens for color. The shrimp were wonderfully fresh and juicy, and the natural brininess from the shrimp played well with the brown sugar sauce. The tangy corn relish, however, seemed to ﬁght against the sweetness of the sauce — something about it just didn’t work.

As I mentioned earlier, when Olenjack decided to design a “Texas inspired” menu at Eagle Mountain Tavern, he also wisely chose to sprinkle in a few of his beloved Cajun dishes — to give the people what

they want. In that category, you’ll ﬁnd his classic Gulf Shrimp and Grits spooned with a spicy Tabasco bacon broth, along with a blackened Tilapia dish, and a Cajun Grilled Chicken ($13).

Another hearty portion, the Cajun Grilled Chicken featured two tender chicken breasts resting on ﬂuffy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans. The chicken was not overly spicy at all; in fact, we would have been happy if the kitchen had dialed up the Cajun spices a

bit more. A butter sauce was spooned over the dish, which could easily serve two.

The Cider Braised Pork Loin ($16) featured a stacked presentation. Olenjack’s creamier than most grits formed the base, two loin portions (hashmarks apparent) came next, and crispy fried shoestring red onions became the cherry on top. The pork was mouthwatering in a Granny Smith apple bourbon demi-glace.

Recommendations: We’ll be back to try some of the yummy-sounding sandwiches, like the Beef Short Rib Grilled Cheese or the Bilt Better BLT featuring more of those tantalizing fried green tomatoes. »

What We Liked: The unpretentious food was cooked right and affordably priced, making it a great place to feed the entire family. What We Didn’t: The tangy corn relish didn’t marry well with the tequila and brown sugar sauce on the shrimp appetizer.

A new pizza restaurant in Southlake has come up with a cool spin on the Brazilian steakhouse concept. Delucca Gaucho Pizza is the ﬁrst restaurant of its kind in North Texas, maybe even all of Texas, maybe even the U.S. Servers stroll the dining room with skewers of food, just like at a Brazilian-style churrascaria. Instead of meat, they dole out slices of pizza. “These types of restaurants are common in Brazil, where we’re from, but it’s a new concept here,” says Vanderleia Mallmann, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Evandro Caregnato.

The pair worked together at Texas de Brazil, helping open stores around the country, before striking out on their own with this unique concept. The ﬁxed price of $18.95 includes a salad, small charcuterie and antipasto platter and all the pizza you

can handle, in 20 varieties. “Everything from traditional pepperoni to more unusual kinds like chicken tikka masala,” Mallmann says. Also included in the price is dessert pizza, made with toppings such as fruits, nuts and Nutella. Mallmann says she’s hoping to open a Fort Worth location later this year.

Two new spots that go hand in hand

have opened in the Riverside Arts District. Roasted, at 2907 Race St., is a new pint-size coffeehouse that serves cold and hot brews by the cup or in cans to go. Beans supplied by localite Billy Hamilton’s Billyz Beanz Coffee are roasted in-house, and silk-smooth almond creamer is made on-site (and also available by the can). Hours are 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. facebook. com/roastedfw

And what goes great with coffee? Doughnuts, of course. Just a few feet to the east of Roasted is the new Kneady Doughnuts, which takes over the spot recently given up by acclaimed burger joint (and one of Fort Worth Magazine’s favorite new restaurants) Good Food Co., at 2919 Race St. Owners Tara McCartney and Delilah Oudomsouk are planning on opening March 31.

Doughnuts of various gourmet varieties will be made fresh daily — raised doughnuts from yeast, cake doughnuts from

baking powder. Rotating ﬂavors will include Nutellaglazed chocolate and popcorn, Oreo crush, Butterﬁnger and Mary Poppins, the latter being a doughnut covered in Pop Rocks.

Although most of the ﬂavors will be sweet, McCartney says she’s hoping to add savory ﬂavors as well. The menu will also include doughnut holes and mini funnel cakes with fruit toppings. The dining room is tiny, but a new patio area will offer additional legroom. McCartney says she’s planning

It’s now completely possible to eat at B&B Butchers & Restaurant without having to take out a small loan. The new steakhouse at The Shops at Clearfork recently introduced a happy hour menu, apparently designed for those who either don’t work late or don’t work at all. Available 3 to 6 p.m., the Booze & Bites menu features a $12 charcuterie board, a mini beef Wellington for $9, trufﬂe chicken salad stuffed into wonton cones for $9 and a burger for $12. Pizzas go for $10-$14. Select wine, beer and cocktails are offered at reduced prices, too. bbbutchers.com

Long-running French restaurant SaintEmilion has moved into the nearby space recently vacated by

Le Cep, at 3324 W. Seventh St. Owner Bernard Tronche has kept most of the menu but changed the restaurant’s name to Paris 7th. SaintE’s original space, a 1940 Tudor-style house, is in need of repairs. Once the repairs are complete, Tronche will reopen it with a new name and concept. facebook. com/Paris7thFW

New York’s muchfussed-about Halal Guys has opened its ﬁrst location in Tarrant County at Champions Park in Arlington, where it joins Torchy’s Tacos, Urban Pizza and other fast-casual chains. The restaurant serves only a few items: Middle Eastern/ Mediterraneaninspired gyros, chicken or beef over rice, falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush and baklava. Most items come sprayed with the restaurant’s signature black pepper-fueled white sauce and red pepper-infused hot sauce.

The sauces are so popular that every few minutes, employees walk through the

restaurant, offering additional squirts of either or both. The chain had humble beginnings, originating as a food cart in New York. The original cart at 53rd and Sixth Avenue still draws lines down the block. 1805 N. Collins St., Arlington. thehalalguys.com

entrees will include steaks and pastas such as gnocchi with ahi tuna. This is the ninth location for the Chicago-based chain and the ﬁrst to open in Texas. 5001 Trailhead Bend Way. pinstripes.com

The resurrection of South Main continues with Alchemy Pops, TCU grad Carolyn Phillips’ recently opened artisan popsicle shop. Phillips has spent the past three years honing her ‘sicle-crafting skills, catering events and selling her seasonal pops out of mobile pop carts. Her brick-and-mortar completes a quartet of new businesses housed in a restored 1920s warehouse at 411 South Main St. — hence the nickname the businesses have adopted, The 4 Eleven. Her neighbors are LTO, a furniture and decorative accessories store; Winton and Waits, a home goods and gifts store; and The Greenhouse 817, a botanical design studio and shop. All are owned and operated by local women. alchemypops.com

Seeing Red

April is the beginning of strawberry season, and if you want to find the freshest in town, look no further than Storm Farms in Arlington. The organic strawberry farm opened for the spring picking season at the end of March. “You want to pick strawberries that are already red,” said Storm Farms owner Johanna Storm. “Some fruits will ripen on the counter, but strawberries won’t do that. You want them red all the way at the top.” We rounded up some delicious strawberry-filled recipes so you can put your loot to work.

Strawberry Cake

FOR THE CAKE

6 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose ﬂour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

FOR THE FILLING

2 cups heavy cream, chilled

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups strawberries, hulled and halved 1/2 cup strawberry jelly

TO GARNISH

2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced Heart-shaped candies

Daisy ﬂowers, to decorate, optional

FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and line the bases of two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl with an electric whisk for 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugar until the mixture is thick and glossy, 8-10 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract. Sift the flour, cornstarch and baking powder into a separate mixing bowl. Gently fold flour mixture into the egg mixture in three additions until you have an even batter. Divide batter between the cake pans. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden and dry to the touch on top; a toothpick should come out clean from their centers. Remove to cooling racks. Once cool, turn out from the pans and trim the tops flat with a serrated knife. Place one cake on a cake stand.

FOR THE FILLING: Whip cream with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until stifﬂy peaked. Spread a thick layer of whipped cream on top of the cake on the cake stand. Press halved strawberries into the cream, with the points of the strawberry halves facing into the cream; make sure the cut sides of the strawberry halves face out around the perimeter. Spread the other cake with the jelly. Invert onto the top of the strawberry layer, pressing down gently to adhere.

TO GARNISH: Top cake with sliced strawberries and garnish with heart-shaped candies and daisies before serving.

MAX’s Wine Dive

One word: bacon. MAX’s Wine Dive’s new chef Chris Boydston launched a new menu for the West Seventh-area eatery in March — bacon, being a prominent ingredient. Think Bacon Tacos (Applewood-smoked bacon deep fried, topped with a smoked tomato jam and cotija cheese, and served on a leaf of bibb lettuce) and BaconWrapped Chicken Meatloaf served with Sriracha ketchup. On the sweeter side, the S’mores Brownie features Boydston’s grandmother’s brownie recipe, served with toasted marshmallow and a graham cracker cookie. maxswinedive.com

» This head sculpture by Lithuanian-born artist Kostas Ulevicius was just one of the works featured at the MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival in 2012. Though he won’t be showing in 2018, expect plenty more quirky works at this year’s event, which is turning 33. When it started, MAIN ST. had 140 artists and about 80,000 people. Not bad, until you consider the 213 artists and estimated 400,000 people who attended last year. Perhaps you can say MAIN ST. is, ahem, “headed” in the right direction.
