Top Chops

WHEN WE SAT DOWN TO SELECT OUR TOP CHEF COMPETITORS THIS YEAR, THE QUESTIONS FLOWED OUT.

Who has a really interesting story? Who has their knife on the pulse of Fort Worth food right now? Who encapsulates the spirit of Top Chef? Who is already making a name for themselves in competitions? Then the names followed. (They’re Jenna, Juan, Derek and Jason, respectively, for the record.) We were honored when each of them agreed to face the heat at our annual Top Chef competition and thrilled when Derek Venutolo, of The Capital Grille, won the coveted title. In the month leading up to the competition, writer Courtney Dabney interviewed the chefs to bring us the story of how each landed in their respective kitchens. Turn to page 60 to make your way through each of their winding paths into the culinary world. Whether it spit them out at the top of culinary school or directly into a kitchen, each of these chefs started in the same place at the very beginning — school.

Which brings us to one of the themes of this issue — education. We highlight the topic from our bi-annual School Guide (page 97) to our Top Teachers feature (page 52) — back in print by popular demand this year. Ten teachers shared with FW Inc. executive editor Scott Nishimura (our resident education expert) their strategies for making children learn and what might have landed them on our list.

And what would the city of Fort Worth be without the school that many of us once called home — TCU? Sure, I bleed purple, but we wanted to know, who are the people that get paid to do it? Who’s behind the TCU football banners lining Camp Bowie Boulevard and the hype videos headlining at the Carter? And how are they so dang good at it? Fellow Horned Frog and associate editor Samantha Calimbahin tackles the story, “Sound the Horn,” on page 70, and takes a look back at how the team landed on this year’s campaign. If you’re a Frog fan, the walk down memory lane is sure to make you smile.

I’ve been waiting for an excuse to sign an editor’s letter this way, so here it goes: Go Frogs,

Bringing the Past Into the Present on South Main Street

| by Linda Blackwell Simmons |

IMAGINE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF FORT WORTH’S SOUTH MAIN STREET BACK IN THE EARLY TO MID-PART OF LAST CENTURY — when Blue Front Café served the hungry, Bob’s Main Bar quenched the thirsty, South Main Hotel accommodated the traveler, Lackey’s Pharmacy filled prescriptions, and Pearl’s Beauty Shop coiffured hair. South Main was vibrant with shoppers and shopkeepers. “It was also an uppermiddle-class residential district occupied by the homes of people like George Monnig, of Monnig’s Department Store,” says Richard Selcer, Fort Worth historian.

Then something happened. Main Street ceased to be a destination — the “mall” became popular, big stores sprouted, and more people started driving. South Main, along with many other main streets across the country, went into decline.

Due to the vision of Fort Worth’s Near Southside, Inc., and a number of other collaborators, that’s all changing. South Main is returning to life with a myriad of businesses whose services and wares will complement each other — and all will bring a touch of local flavor. “Near Southside, Inc. initiated the South Main Street effort nearly a decade ago, working in cooperation with business owners

and the city. We can’t wait for the street to come back to life, one that preserves the treasured historic buildings in South Main Village and serves as a catalyst for additions in the future,” says Mike Brennan of Near Southside, Inc.

Jason Eggenburger and Steven Halliday of 97w Architects are designing four properties between Vickery and Rosedale. “Steve and I are both Near Southside residents. Our desire is to help shape the character of the place where we live, work and play.”

Highlights of what’s coming in order from north to south:

SOMA DEVELOPMENT: W. A. (Andy) Powers moved his material-handling business to South Main in January 1939. His nephew, Doyle, and his brother, Jack, inherited the business in the late 1980s. Lori Henderson, Doyle Powers’ daughter, says, “It’s been awesome to see this neighborhood come back to life. Our plans are to develop the block between South Main, Vickery, Daggett and Bryan. Phase one includes four to five restaurant/ retail spaces with a public plaza. We anticipate leasing by the end of this year.” Powers’ other daughter, Kim, and her husband will carry on the conveyor business in the warehouse on Bryan and Daggett avenues.

TINIE’S MEXICAN ROTISSERIE AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE: Owners of Taco Heads, Sarah Castillo and Jacob Watson, will open a new concept in 2,000 - 3,000 square feet of the SoMa development. The first floor will offer family-style Mexican rotisserie and sides.

The second floor will house “El Escondite” (Spanish for “the hideaway”) with craft cocktails, Latin American beers, and 60 different tequilas and

The 4 Eleven is located in a historic warehouse at South Main Street and Broadway Avenue.

mezcal from the lounge. Business partner Glen Keely (owner of Thompson's Bookstore) will assist with design. “The interior will transport you to an Oaxacan mezcaleria with a rooftop oasis to escape the concrete jungle,” said Keely. Tinie's is expected to open January 2018.

CROUCH BUILDING: Kelly Capital Partners (KCP) purchased the Crouch building at 305 S. Main St. and 318 Bryan Ave. The four buildings will provide over 40,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurant opportunities. Red Productions will be its anchor tenant, and KCP is currently negotiating with two restaurant groups.

RED PRODUCTIONS: Currently based near West Seventh Street, Red Productions is a high-quality video production firm that opened its doors in 2005. Red Sanders, president and producer, says, “Partnering with Craig Kelly [KCP] on this mixed-use development is a great fit for us, and we’re thrilled to bring this space to Near Southside. The 10,000-square-foot production facility will feature a studio that will be open to all for rental, be it a commercial, photo shoot, or special event.” The West Seventh studio will close when the South Main location opens.

THE 4 ELEVEN: Co-owner and designer of Brewed Restaurant, Jana Clark, is targeting October for the opening of The 4 Eleven. Clark partnered with 6th Ave Homes and several other investors on the restoration of the building. A shared patio will encourage a connection among the businesses, where shoppers can share a drink, pick up flowers, and enjoy a visual feast of unique retail stores, including Clark's Limited Time Offer (LTO), a furniture and design store. “We believe all of life is a limited time offer. Every piece, just like every person, has a story to tell.” Clark worked 15 years as a buyer for Neiman Marcus so she is well prepared for this new opportunity. “I can't wait to work with the amazing people at The 4 Eleven. We are better together, and this is so much more than a store, this is an experience.”

In addition to LTO, The 4 Eleven includes a wedding and event venue with its own garden patio, which Clark calls the “crown jewel” of the 18,000-square-foot property. Bookings are already in motion for holiday parties. At the back of LTO, as evening approaches, doors will open to a restaurant and bar, name unknown at this time.

These four businesses will front LTO:

bowls topped with fresh fruit and toppings.

ALCHEMY POPS : A brick-and-mortar location for a handmade popsicle cart that serves pops at Sundance Square and various events.

THE GREENHOUSE 817: A popular botanical design studio that creates unique flower arrangements with succulents and unexpected flora.

WINTON AND WAITS: An upscale store by designer Jenna Lee. A portion of proceeds go to several nonprofits, including the Edna Gladney Home and The Net, both in Fort Worth.

LOCUST CIDER : A West Coast concept that makes blends of apple cider. Targeted to open in 2018, it will be part of 17,500 square feet of other retail, restaurant, and office space.

FOUR SISTERS: An Asian fusion restaurant will open in one of two new buildings that Dak Hatfield of Hatfield Properties has under construction in the 1000 block of South Main. There is also space for a second restaurant and second-floor offices.

TASTE: As reported in the June issue of Fort Worth Magazine, Taste will open at 1200 S. Main St. on August 22. Taste will be a pay-what-you-can restaurant from nonprofit The Taste Project, aimed at fighting food insecurity. Diners can grab a meal from seasonal, locally grown ingredients and are encouraged to either pay what they can afford, pay what they would normally pay, or pay a little extra. Dallas-based Coeval Studio, the same team behind Americado off of Berry Street, is designing the space.

Vintage streetlights are in, art sculptures and trees are coming, curbside parking and bike lanes are waiting, and doors will soon be opening as history continues to be made by these new ventures.

Dogtown

Wag!, the on-demand dog-walk ing app, launched serv ice in Fort Worth in June Founded in 2015 by a Los Angeles entrepreneur who was hesitant to take on a new pet due to his busy schedule, the app allows dog owners to order a 20-, 30- or 60-m inute walk for their dog v ia their phone Walks can be scheduled in advance w ith a set schedule or on demand w ith just 30-minutes’ not ice (24/7) . Puppy parents can watch the walk’s progress in real t ime through the app’s GPS and, when the walk is completed, recei ve a full pup report card detailing distance walked, a photo or v ideo of their dog, and even a full report of where the dog took bathroom breaks A 30-minute walk in Fort Worth is $20 For every dog walked, Wag! also donates a meal to a shelter dog

ANOTHER H&M

H&M continues its fast Tarrant County expansions with its f irst Arlington location The Swedish retailer opened in July in a 20,000-square-foot space in The Parks Mall at Arlington, making it the 35th H&M in Texas The new H&M location will have a “shop in shop” section for accessories and will carry the H&M K ids collection for newborns to 14-year-olds 3811 South Cooper St., Arlington, 76015.

Reata Redux

Reata Restaurant is expanding in downtown Fort Worth, with plans to open a café on the second floor of the old Fire Station No. 1 in Sundance Square.

The 203 Café, at 203 Commerce St., will offer fast, casual breakfast and lunch, Monday-Friday, and also cater to downtown businesses.

“When we initially established ‘Reata on the Road’ as a ‘temporary’ catering company back in 2001, we had no idea how significant our catering business would grow to be, especially among the downtown office community,” said Mike Micallef, owner and president of Reata Restaurant Group.

“We also recognize that sometimes office workers need another option for lunch on the go. 203 Café will provide a different menu than Reata through satisfying items that are easy to take back to a desk or a conference room.”

203 Café’s menu will focus on signature sandwiches, including a Reuben and buffalo shrimp sandwich.

The 2,200-square-foot restaurant is expected to open this fall.

MORE PLANS FROM THE FOUNDRY DISTRICT

One of Fort Worth's most colorful developments, The Foundry District, is preparing for growth Developer M2G Ventures announced that construction on a new building and additional office space for the district will begin in August

The building, located at 212 Carroll St and appropriately dubbed "212 Carroll," will span 8,000 square feet and have a mid-century modern design, with space for restaurants with patios, office and retail A public micropark with an outdoor lounge and shaded areas will also be installed Additionally, 212 Carroll will have a designated area for rideshare drop-off According to a news release, the building is at 60 percent capacity with 800- to 1,500-squarefoot spaces available for lease

Construction will begin in late August, and the building is projected to open on Jan 1, 2018

Ozark Style

Rustic meets luxury in Arkansas' Ozarks, thanks to unexpected lodges and nature's gems.

| by Kyle Whitecotton |

FIXED BETWEEN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS TO THE WEST AND THE APPALACHIANS TO THE EAST, Arkansas’ Ozark Mountain region is an often-overlooked part of the country where natural beauty, outdoor adventure and quaint mountain towns quenched in Southern charm flourish together in a densely forested expanse that occupies the northern part of the state. Like some secret stash of treasure in your grandparents’ attic, the Ozarks are a stockpile of fish-filled lakes and rivers, picturesque waterfalls, vast cavern systems and miles of backwoods trails, all waiting to be discovered.

A week in the Ozarks is loaded with adventure like world-class angling, hiking and biking beneath towering limestone bluffs, and canoeing on the Buffalo National River. But what really sets this

mountainous getaway apart from the rest is its distinctive collection of lodging options with unforgettable charm like restored log cabins, working dude ranches, tree house cottages, mountain yurts and one lavishly appointed cave. And while these daring accommodations aren’t the typical high-rise hotel

with bellboys and sparkling lobbies, they aren’t short on luxury either.

The Original Treehouse Cottages

An Ozark Mountain getaway obliges a stopover in historic downtown Eureka Springs. And while there are plenty of fine rooms for rent here, few can compete with

The Original Treehouse Cottages were hand built by owners Terry and Patsy Miller.

A five-minute hike takes guests at Longbow Resort to Longbow Falls Trail.

The Original Treehouse Cottages nestled amid a lush forest of soaring trees. Built as much as 26 feet off the ground, these skillfully constructed cottages, complete with vaulted ceilings, massive picture

windows, luxury beds, Tiffany chandeliers and hot tubs, put you high up in the quiet, secluded canopy of trees overlooking your very own slice of nature. treehousecottages.com

Beckham Creek Cave House

While it’s not exactly a day in the life of the Neanderthals, the 6,000-square-foot Beckham Creek Cave House in Parthenon is your best opportunity to sleep in the comfort of a four-bed, four-bath natural cavern perched high in a bluff overlooking a breathtaking Ozark vista. This vacation rental is packed with modern amenities from spa-like bathrooms and a gourmet kitchen to numerous lofts and balconies, all amid a world of exposed cavern walls and hanging stalactites. Outside, guests have access to a private 260-acre resort providing fishing, canoeing, horseback rides and helicopter tours. beckhamcave.com

Mulberry Mountain Lodge In the heart of the region, just off the Pig Trail National Scenic Byway in the town of Ozark, is 650-acre Mulberry Mountain Lodge, a resort overlooking the Mulberry River Valley. Accommodations here include beautifully restored authentic log cabins, a turn-of-the-century SearsRoebuck farmhouse and a rustic river cottage with access to a secluded beach. With several outdoor sites set against stunning mountain backdrops and 6,000 square feet of reception space, Mulberry Mountain is a popular venue for outdoor weddings, reunions and conferences. mulberrymountainlodge.com

Stone

Wind Retreats Can’t choose between a cabin and a tent? How about a mountain yurt at Stone Wind Retreats in Chester? Couples looking for unique but romantic accommodations blending elegance and nature will relish Stone Wind’s eight privately located yurts. In addition to a spectacular mountain setting, each yurt comes complete with a sizeable living space full of stylish furnishings and a hot tub beneath the stars. Relax with an “in cabin” couples massage, or get serious about stress with a course on meditation or qigong designed exclusively for guests by the Stone Wind Institute for Mind Body Medicine. stonewindretreat.com

Horseshoe Canyon Dude Ranch

For a unique family experience on a working mountain ranch, visit Horseshoe Canyon Dude Ranch in Jasper. At this family-owned resort, spread across a verdant valley and surrounded by giant sandstone bluffs, you’ll begin the day in

the company of horses and wranglers and end it with campfire stories in the cool night air. Accommodations are rustic-but-modern solid-log cabins, each with a sizeable porch for soaking in the views. The ranch features wagon and horseback rides, canoeing on the Buffalo

National River, target shooting, archery, zip lining and miles of secluded hiking trails. horseshoecanyonduderanch.com

Gaston’s White River Resort For truly remarkable world-class fly and spin fishing for trout in the Ozarks, Gaston’s White River Resort in Lakeview, with a nearly 60-year history, is unsurpassed. This luxury resort sits on 400 acres of White River frontage with 79 cottages and more than 70 boats packed into their state-of-the-art dock. With a 3,200-foot Bermuda grass airstrip, Gaston’s is the best fly-in destination in the Ozarks. Guests will enjoy daylong float trips, gourmet meals at Gaston’s award-winning restaurant, and a long list of amenities topped off by a first-rate fly-fishing school. gastons.com

Longbow Resort Four private cabins on a remote resort spanning two square miles doesn’t sound unique until you learn that each cabin at Longbow Resort in Prim literally merges with its natural surroundings. Set beside a 30-foot waterfall, Longbow cabin lies nestled in a box canyon incorporating an 18-foot cliff wall into its floor plan; Bushmaster cabin stands tall amid a cathedral of towering oak, maple and hickory trees and mossy rock formations with a deck 30 feet up in the forest canopy; and the Sovereign cabin showcases an interior cliff supporting a second-floor loft. longbowresorts.com

Getting back to nature is easy in Arkansas’ Ozark Mountain region where rivers and caves and mountain trails abound in every direction. But your adventure shouldn’t end in the parking lot of some boring chain motel where ice buckets and instant coffee packets are the main amenities. Extend your adventure to the place you lay your head at night and the views that greet you in the morning. That’s experiencing the Ozarks in style.

Abraham Alexander's America

Local singer/songwriter overcomes sadness through song.

| by Jocelyn Tatum | | photo by Alex Lepe |

ABRAHAM ALEXANDER’S AGONY REACHED A CRESCENDO JULY 7, 2016, when Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on Dallas police officers at the end of a rally for black rights, killing five, injuring nine others and two civilians. The shooter was reportedly angry over police treatment of African-Americans. Alexander was so overwhelmed with sadness when this story broke, and he knew the only way to overcome it was through music. His latest song, “America,” which was appropriately released July 4, was his personal release.

“You know that feeling when you lose your breath from the pain you feel? I wanted to share exactly what I was feeling like and how I overcame that feeling,” Alexander says.

Seeing an increasingly polarized America, with racial unrest and an impending presidential election, Alexander wanted to yell stop. “It was A versus B, me against you, black versus white. It was me sitting in the

middle of a tug-of-war trying to say ‘stop pulling, let’s have a conversation.’ There shouldn’t be this ‘me versus you.’”

Alexander remembers when his teachers asked him to sit in the back of the classroom as a little boy growing up in Athens, Greece, because he was black. He also remembers that time he knocked over a bag of chips in a local market. When he politely put them back, a stranger approached him and said there was no reason because nobody would ever buy a bag of chips a black boy touched. At the time he innocently did not understand the gravity of what was happening. As the cliché goes, “hindsight is 20/20.” He understands now.

This was in the 1990s just before Alexander’s parents decided to move to the U.S. so their children could experience the American dream. They moved, and while he no longer had to sit in the back of the classroom, he couldn’t help but notice something was amiss. It was everywhere.

Alexander turned 27 in July. His once easygoing, soulful music changed its

tune in this new song. The outcome of the presidential election along with the still constant news broadcasts and headlines depicting division and racial strife have only added to his pain.

“Martin had a dream, but they didn't want to crown my Luther king. Malcolm was next, bullet to the chest cause he signs with an X. Rosa sit down so me and my brother can stand up,” he reads the lyrics to his single.

The song is impactful in both lyrics and sound. It takes on the tone of Bishop Brigg’s “River” or Beyoncé’s “Freedom.” Like those songs, you can feel the frustration and passion. While still his soulful-style music, “America” has much more verve. This is Mr. Alexander’s opus.

“America/Land of the Free/You tell me to run/But there's shackles on me/America/ Home of the Brave/I love this land, but thank God I'm saved by grace,” goes the chorus.

He says rallies are simply people saying one thing — we matter, too. “All black people are trying to say is all lives matter. If you go to a cancer rally, they are just trying to say, ‘I matter,’” he says. “This song was to help people understand and empower those who are afraid or confused, and ultimately empower me to keep pushing and rely on God.”

FORT WORTH’S BCYCLE SYSTEM EXPANDED TO 46 LOCATIONS IN JUNE WHEN A STATION OPENED AT THE ELLA MAE SHAMBLEE BRANCH LIBRARY. “The Rosedale and Evans Urban Village, and the library specifically, is a gathering place for the community, and we hope that having a station there will encourage residents in the area to get out and ride,” said Kristen Camareno, Fort Worth Bike Sharing executive director. The library, located off of Evans Avenue near U.S. Highway 287, is one of only two BCycle stations on the east side of Interstate 35W. The other was the first location of Fort Worth BCycle at the T Offices at East Lancaster and Pine Street. Since that launch in 2013, Fort Worth BCycle has rapidly grown — the nonprofit saw a 34 percent increase in ridership in 2016 alone. We checked in with the team to see what other impressive stats they could wheel out. Numbers reflect data as of June 28, 2017.

COLORFUL SALAD MIGHT JUST BE THE PERFECT SUMMER MEAL. If well thought out, a salad can be quick, easy, satisfying and very nourishing, giving just the boost of energy needed to get through a sweltering Fort Worth summer day. With these recipes, we go simple. Sometimes, just some washed butter lettuce and a hint of vinaigrette are all you need to give your body and mind a boost.

Making the Grades

Our

newest class of Top Teachers gets students out of their chairs and moving (think yoga) and encourages them to ask questions and look for solutions

to problems. And our one new retiree in this class didn’t stay retired for long.

FORT WORTH MAGAZINE’S TOP TEACHERS 2017, our annual shout-out to private and public school teachers, covers the gamut from kindergarten to high school, library to choir, English to history and math. Our list includes five private and five public school teachers, gleaned from readers’ votes in online balloting every spring via our website, fwtx.com. Introducing our Top Teachers 2017:

Angela Tuttle

KINDERGARTEN/FIRST GRADE

ALICE CARLSON APPLIED LEARNING

CENTER, FORT WORTH ISD Angela Tuttle thought she’d be a middle school special education teacher, but on her first job in the Plano schools, “they threw me into a firstgrade classroom. The first day of school, I had a kid throw up. I had no idea what to

do.” Tuttle is now in her 14th year at Alice Carlson as a kindergarten and first-grade teacher (students have the same homeroom teachers for kindergarten through first grade at Alice Carlson) and has been full-time since 2008. Her style: “I really believe every child is a learner,” says Tuttle, who received the most votes of any public school teacher in our Top Teachers 2017. “It’s up to us to give them the tools. I want

How we did it: Public school districts and private schools were asked to publicize the nomination process, and we also solicited nominations via email, on our website, in the magazine, and in interviews with students, parents, and educators. Editors examined the nearly 500 nominations we received and selected 10 teachers as representative of excellence in teaching. Each teacher selected was then cleared as being worthy with top officials in his or her schools or districts.

to be playful. I want them to know I’m their friend, in the sense that I’m a learner with them. I love them. I also have expectations. I like structure, but I like kids to be problemsolvers and to question. I build community, not just with the kids, but with their families.” Tuttle, who has a bachelor’s from Stephen F. Austin University and a master’s in elementary education from the University of North Texas, opens each day with a classroom meeting, where “we give compliments and hear concerns.” Janis Harris, the Carlson principal, says, “She can tell you to any detail what a child understands about reading, what a child understands about writing, what a child understands about math.”

Kris Benton

LIBRARIAN

SOUTHWEST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL,

CHISHOLM TRAIL CAMPUS Kris Benton likes to tell her students “the more you read, the more you will know.” A public and private school librarian for 17 years, Benton has been at Southwest Christian for 10 years and is librarian at its K-6 lower school campus. There, Benton, who has a bachelor’s in education from TCU and a master of library science from Texas Woman’s University, has helped build the library into a “learning com-

mons” with 23,000 books and computer stations with 20 computers, iPads, and Chromebooks. This fall, Benton is opening a makerspace, where kids can do coding, Lego robotics, and crafts. At storytime with children, Benton often reads in Irish brogue. “I can do only Irish and extreme Texas,” she says. Is she Irish? “Not that I can think of.” Benton makes it her mission to quickly get to know her students and their interests so she can suggest books. She throws reading parties and gives T-shirts to students who meet Accelerated Reader goals. “If they like reading, they’re going to be good at everything else,” she says. Benton was originally a business major at TCU, then changed tracks to teaching after getting to teach business to schoolchildren under a TCU partnership with Junior Achievement. She first had an elementary school homeroom, then decided she didn’t want to be a traditional teacher. The library called. “She loves that library as a space to make all the kids feel really comfortable,” Justin Kirk, the Chisholm Trail Campus principal, says.

Tammy Bergere

EIGHTH-GRADE MATH

KENNEDALE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, KENNEDALE ISD Tammy Bergere always wanted to be a teacher. “I would play teacher with my sisters,” says Bergere, who graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in curriculum and instruction. “I would be the teacher and teach them things.” As a military brat, she and her family moved around a lot. “I got to see a lot of teachers and teaching styles,” she says. Her first job, in 1991, was at Fort Worth’s Paschal High School in a pilot program, where struggling students took algebra over two years and a summer school. She got married and left teaching for 13 years to stay

Kris Benton

home with two children. She’s now in her 12th year at Kennedale Junior High School and is math department chair. How does she keep her students engaged? “I just try to be real with them. My kids will call me a weirdo. I can’t sing. But occasionally, I’ll sing things.” She tells students, “We need to put as many tools as possible into your tool bag.” And classroom instruction includes a lot of movement. “We’ll do three or four things in class each day,” she says. “We’ll get up, move around and talk to partners about topics. This generation needs to be entertained.” She’s also mindful of stats that show “to learn you have to be exposed to it 28 times in three weeks. And you have to have slept in between.” Bergere’s students are consistent high performers, Michael Cagle, the school’s principal, says. “Every few years, she re-creates her teaching. She takes on best practices. She learns from those who are around her.”

Brittany Wagoner

FOURTH GRADE

DITTO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, ARLINGTON ISD If getting students moving is a key strategy our Top Teachers 2017 deploy, Brittany Wagoner likes to take that a step further. Drop by her fourth-grade classroom at Ditto, and you may see Wagoner leading her students in yoga. “When you focus, you’re telling your body what to do,” she says. “It centers their brain and helps them focus.” Wagoner further incorporates movement into daily instruction. I get them out of their seat and get them moving based on their answers to questions, and students do a lot of work with partners, says Wagoner, who’s taught at Ditto for three years and obtained her undergraduate degree in psychology from Old Dominion University and master’s from Reinhardt University. Part of her core style: “I respect my students. I provide an atmosphere that’s rigorous and challenges them. I’ve always wanted to teach. I want to pay it forward. I want to be that inspiration. I want to give these kids that education that I would want for my children.” One fellow teacher on Wagoner: “If she can see that a student is struggling, she pulls them aside and tries to help them through whatever is troubling them, whether it be school, home, or behavior related. [She] understands that in order to be an effective teacher, you must build a respectful relationship with the students.”

Tammy Bergere. "I ate some pie and I liked it!"

David Mabry

A.P. HISTORY

NOLAN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

David Mabry is often not hard to spot in the hallways of Nolan Catholic. He’s the one who sometimes dresses as historical characters and then has his students interview him. Mabry, who teaches 11th grade U.S. History, A.P. U.S. History, and a U.S. survey course for Tarrant County College credit, also runs small-scale battle re-enactments with students. “History is not dead to him,” Erin Vader, Nolan’s president, says. “It is very much alive. It informs the future.” The number of students taking A.P. History has doubled under Mabry, who’s taught at Nolan four years. Enrollment in a dual credit Tarrant County College program also doubled in his second year. Mabry, who has a bachelor’s in history and English from TCU and master’s in English from UT Arlington: “I want them to be able to handle history, not just read it in text. History shapes the way we live. The better you grasp that, the better you know where we are.” w t

Jose Alvarez

FIFTH-GRADE MATH

DOLORES HUERTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, FORT WORTH ISD Teaching wasn’t Jose Alvarez’ first path. A graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, with a bachelor’s degree in advertising, he was working at American Airlines, overseeing advertising in the Hispanic and Latin American markets. But Alvarez, who was also working part-time in afterschool programs at Boys & Girls Clubs, wanted to have more impact. His sister’s a teacher, so he obtained alternative certification and got his first job six years ago at Dolores Huerta, teaching first grade. The next year, the school moved him to fifth grade as a math teacher. Alvarez takes advantage of the “very active” nature of fifth-graders with a trash can basketball game he rigged up, awarding shots for correct answers to questions, good behavior and good citizenship, and giving prizes to teams with the most points. He writes popular figures like Pokémon characters into word problems and plays soccer with the kids at recess. And “I let them know about my childhood,” says Alvarez, who grew up on Fort Worth’s North Side. Alvarez’s teaching pays off. “We always have outstanding scores in our test data,” Carla Coscia, the principal, says. “He makes it fun. He ties it to realworld applications.”

Andrew Stewart CHOIR

THE OAKRIDGE SCHOOL If students have been attending Oakridge since fifth grade, they’ve had Andrew Stewart for choir. In fifth grade, the school rotates all students through Oakridge’s arts programs. Beginning in sixth grade, students pick two arts programs to continue with. “If they’re on campus, I’ve had them in class,” says Stewart, who estimates he’ll have 200 students this fall in kindergarten through 12th grade. “The arts are important. Art in context has a huge historical significance. It gives them purpose. We push them pretty hard in terms of music literacy.” Stewart, who has a bachelor’s in music education and master’s in choral conducting, both from Oklahoma State University, has been at Oakridge for five years. He regularly leads students on trips to competitions, and students have won numerous awards. Stewart also chaperones upper school trips to Carnegie Hall, where students get to perform with other visiting choirs. “Our goal isn’t to make them the next great

out for the summer. Newton stayed retired from the school for a few weeks. She’ll return this fall

in an administrative role, giving assessments to kindergarten applicants and volunteering her time to help establish curriculum and programming at a learning site at a ranch in Salado in Central Texas. The ranch, owned by a Trinity Valley family, has an archaeological site. “My secret desire is to be an archaeologist,” she says. “I’m excited to be a part of it.” Newton’s service at Trinity Valley was marked by continuous learning, remaking of her teaching approach, and use of tools like blogging and data-gathering technologies, says Sandy McNutt, Trinity Valley’s head of lower school. “She is a constant learner of best pedagogy.”

Emily Davis

CHOIR

ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Emily Davis, who is the top vote-getter among private school teachers, had a message for students when she took over as middle school choir director during the 2015-16 school season. “From the very beginning, I told the students, they were really on the ground floor of a huge choral program I was building,” she says. As of the 2016-17 year, Davis added the upper school choir. At a regional competition last year, All Saints had 29 gold medal winners. Eleven went to state, where the school won seven gold medals and four silver. Participation in the choir has also surged. Davis recruits kids by encouraging them to be well-rounded. “I was an athlete,” says Davis, who has a bachelor of music education degree from Texas Wesleyan University and worked in education as an independent contractor for years before she joined All Saints. “I encourage them not to box themselves in. I think everyone has a music inside of them and everyone has a voice given by God.”

Tad Bird, All Saints’ head of school, says that Davis “takes a disparate collection of voices and creates a harmony that amplifies our school’s outcome statement – our students will exercise their genius within through developing a relationship with God, by engaging the world and by serving others.”

Kim Springsted

A.P. ENGLISH 4

NORTH CROWLEY HIGH SCHOOL, CROWLEY ISD Kim Springsted, surprised to learn she was voted onto our Top Teachers 2017, did what she always does: she asked her students what makes her effective and what she could do better. “I asked them to reflect on their own learning,” says Springsted, who’s taught in the Crowley schools for 22 years and was one of the original teachers when North Crowley High School opened in 1999. “They gave me lots of answers.” You give us confidence and encourage us to take risks, they told her. You praise us, suggesting ideas and asking questions. You let us talk. It’s hard work. You believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. What might they change? “I’m a little frightening, is what I got a lot of,” she jokes. “But I always tell them it’s better that you have a B with a teacher who loves you than a college professor who doesn’t know you.” Springsted, who was a law clerk before obtaining a teaching certificate from Tarleton State University, helps coach struggling teachers and students. Her work pays off in students’ consistently very high scores in A.P. English 4 nationally, Stefani Allen, the principal, says. “She’s one of our most requested teachers.”

Chef Derek Venutolo

Stirring the Pot With Four of Fort Worth’s Top Chefs

With varied backgrounds, these four culinary all-stars bring their own sensibility and style to their respective kitchens, running the gamut from Southern to Spanish cuisine and everywhere in between. While they have little in common, aside from obvious work ethic and passion, each one is pushing the envelope in a different direction.

It’s always a treat to catch a glimpse of creative chefs in their natural habitat.

Fort Worth Magazine's Top Chef competition sizzled again this summer. The event was held on July 13 at River Ranch in the Stockyards. Our annual culinary showdown pits four of the area's most popular chefs against each other in one winner-take-all battle royal.

When things really heat up, there’s no place they would rather be than in the kitchen. Here’s a closer look at what lights a fire under four of Fort Worth’s favorite chefs:

DEREK VENUTOLO | Born to be on Center Stage Chef Partner, The

Capital Grille

Don’t be fooled by Chef Derek Venutolo’s mild-mannered appearance or his controlled demeanor. He has a wild side.

“I played in punk rock bands in Los Angeles for about 10 years,” he says. But after 21 years in the restaurant industry, and with such a supportive team behind him at The Capital Grille, where he’s Executive Chef Partner, it’s safe to say the kitchen is where he belongs.

Venutolo’s first love of cooking came from his mother. “She was always cooking and baking, and she got me involved at a really young age helping her in the kitchen.”

After graduating from Western Culinary Arts Institute in Portland, Oregon, in 1999 (on the President's list) his career began in California. Venutolo developed further under mentors like Chef Matthew Hewitt and Chef Shelly Bojorquez — both in Long Beach, California.

He believes in “using what Mother Nature provides us naturally and keeping it simple to let those flavors create an experience that will be talked about for years to come.” He says, “We don’t need to hide things with sauces and garnishes.” Instead, his focus is on getting the best ingredients, handling them with care, and enhancing with simple seasoning to allow the flavors to speak for themselves.

A recent trip to Kauai and Maui reinforced Venutolo’s philosophy that sourcing the best ingredients is the key. And it got him in an Asian mood.

Take for instance, his menu at The Capital Grille. “Alaskan Halibut is back in season and on our summer menu. It is served over sake braised green cabbage and shiitake mushrooms, topped with a miso butter and soy pearls,” he says. (Soy pearls explode in your mouth with salty flavor.)

When asked to recall one of the best meals he has ever tasted, Venutolo’s memory not only recounts what was on the plate, but also the date, the season and every ingredient that made it special. “My best meal was in Rome, Italy, in the fall of 2012,” he says. “It was a prosciutto-wrapped pork loin, stuffed with pistachios, gorgonzola cheese, and dried currants, with Chianti Beurre Rouge and fresh wilted baby spinach.”

Since The Capital Grille is known as a premier steakhouse with an

Chef Jenna Kinard

award-winning wine list and for serving delectable dry-aged steaks and the finest seafood, it’s no surprise that Venutolo keeps his filet knife close at hand. “My filet knife is one of the most used knives in my set,” he says.

“We hand carve and sculpt all our steaks and seafood on premise at The Capital Grille.” Under Venutolo’s leadership, The Capital Grille received a coveted Diamond Club Award from Darden in 2016.

“The team and family environment we have in our restaurant is unbelievable,” he says.

JENNA KINARD | The Fighter

Executive Chef, MAX’s Wine Dive

Jenna Kinard has had some obstacles to overcome in her life. A former model, as well as a beauty pageant participant who was crowned Miss Teen Texas-World in 2009, Kinard knows the perils of perfectionism firsthand. It led to an eating disorder that sidetracked her until she made peace with herself and with God. After that, her life took a new turn that ultimately led her into the kitchen.

Her culinary journey began as a teenager. First working as a server, Kinard then paid her dues by working in the dish pit before moving her way up through the ranks. She learned her craft on the job, adding to her knowledge and skill while serving as a prep cook, a line cook, a pastry chef, and a sous-chef − eventually earning her first Executive Chef title at just 22 years of age.

“When I got my start in the kitchen, I was so eager and passion-

ate about food, I wanted to be immersed in it, and I think it was that energy and drive that the chefs I worked for noticed and could relate to,” Kinard says. “I am so fortunate that they took time out of their day to teach me the basics and educate me on food. This helped me define my palate and creativity and to identify as a chef.”

Kinard added Executive Chef at MAX’s Wine Dive to her resume in 2016 when she took over the kitchen and began putting her mark on the popular West Seventh-area eatery. Her style is naturally infused with a little Southern flare, which blends perfectly with the quirky menu at MAX’s – whose catchphrase touts “Fried chicken and champagne?…why the hell not?”

“People who know me also know that Paula Deen was just as much of an influence on me and in finding my purpose in the kitchen. I watched her shows for months on end, created dozens of her recipes, and just started retaining knowledge and finding my own style,” she says.

In a full-circle moment, Chef Kinard will appear as a guest on two of Paula Deen’s upcoming “Positively Paula” cooking shows, which are slated to air this fall.

She says a restaurant kitchen can also be a tough place to feel at home in your own skin. “In the beginning of my career as a chef, being a woman in the kitchen was intimidating for me. I felt that in order to be successful in the industry, I had to be this tough, hard broad…which is someone that I am not capable of being.”

In reality, Kinard is a girly-girl in many ways. “I am obsessed with glitter, sparkly and pastel everything…unicorns, flowers, you name it,” she says.

If she was not already living her culinary dreams, Kinard says she might have continued pursuing her career as an actress. This is one reason she is intrigued by dabbling into molecular gastronomy – it’s all about the drama.

“You’ve probably seen some chefs use liquid nitrogen in their cooking, which is basically a garnish made of what looks to be heavy smoke, edible sugar balloons, or caviar that has been made out of fresh citrus fruits or vegetables,” she says. “It’s all about a performance, all about the drama. It introduces emotion, feelings and art into one’s dining experience, making it more of an event rather than just a meal.”

JASON

HARPER | The Tightrope Walker

Executive Chef and Owner, Trio New American Café

Chef Jason Harper is well-known for his designer’s eye and for crafting colorful plates that look as good as they taste. But balancing flavor profiles and presentations is not all this chef has on his mind. He is also an entrepreneur, balancing a busy restaurant with a demanding catering schedule, and carving out time for his growing family as well.

Harper is executive chef and owner of Trio New American Café in Colleyville. “We are one of the only seasonal-based, chef-owned restaurants in the mid-cities. Trio’s clientele is well-traveled and appreciates the diversity we put on our menu. They trust us,” Harper says.

Chef Jason Harper

He opened the restaurant and catering business about seven years ago, along with his wife and partner Miriam, who is an accomplished baker in her own right. Chef Harper calls Miriam “the glue that holds our family together.” They are expecting their fourth child soon.

While juggling his growing family along with his expanding restaurant and catering business is always a challenge, Harper depends on his “work family” to make it all possible. “I am grateful for my excellent team and the ability we have to create and share our passion daily.”

Before opening Trio New American, Harper earned his chops as sous-chef at Abacus in Dallas, under Iron Chef winner Kent Rathbun. Over the years, he has had the privilege to work with many iconic chefs, such as Susan Spicer, Bruce Auden, and Martin Yan.

During his tenure at Abacus, Chef Harper especially enjoyed working alongside Tre Wilcox (an Iron Chef winner and Top Chef All-Star) while Wilcox served as chef de cuisine at the time. “Tre freely shared his knowledge from his travels and experiences to his culinary team. I learned vicariously about new trends through working with him,” Harper says.

Harper gets inspiration from many places. “As a father of three (soon to be four), I don’t travel as much anymore, but I am always inspired on family trips to Galveston…fishing on the pier before sunrise or going crabbing with my daughter,” he says.

With Harper’s own creative flare and varied, seasonal menus that span the globe − featuring influences from Asian to French and Latin cuisine − Trio New American Café has drawn many recent

TOP CHEF 2017

JON BONNELL PUT OUR CONTESTANTS THROUGH SOME INTENSE PRELIMINARY CHALLENGES AT THE TOP CHEF CHALLENGE AT RIVER RANCH STOCKYARDS, July 13, including cleaning, skinning and deboning a fish to his exact specifications. He called another exercise the “thinking on your feet” challenge. It forced the chefs to choose a brown bag filled with random ingredients to be combined in a dish in nine minutes flat. Just when the chefs had an idea of how to use their assortment… Bonnell forced them to quickly switch ingredients before starting his clock, in front of a sold-out crowd of 430.

Our judges for the evening, who were all past winners of Top Chef, included Ben Merritt of Fixture - Kitchen and Social Lounge, Anthony Felli of Waters Coastal Cuisine and Blaine Staniford of Grace. Scott Murray, former Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and television sports anchor, emceed the event.

The main challenge only allotted the contestants 25 minutes to prepare and plate two identical entrées — one for the judges to sample and score, and another which was auctioned off to lucky members in the crowd. Bonnell announced two proteins each chef was required to incorporate in his or her dish — a whole rabbit and a live lobster.

But there could only be one winner of Top Chef 2017. That title went to Derek Venutolo of The Capital Grille. His creation was a rabbit quarter, which was braised and finished in the oven, served with a wild mushroom couscous. The rabbit was paired with fresh lobster tail and claw meat in a lobster beurre blanc sauce, along with sautéed spinach and chard.

All food leftovers were donated to Presbyterian Night Shelter. Thank you to all the sponsors that made Top Chef 2017 a smashing success: Ace Mart Restaurant Supply, Fresh Point, Texas Appliance, Teresa's Event Staffing and Bartending, Rent-A-Frog Valet, and River Ranch Stockyards.

When he is not cooking, he enjoys the chance to eat what other chefs are serving up. “I am a huge fan of Uchi,” Harper says. The Dallas restaurant has a similar take on using quality seasonal ingredients and is known for serving the freshest seafood with a unique spin on Japanese cuisine. “I enjoy the bold flavors that are light and fresh enough to leave room for more,” he says.

Harper loves incorporating fish sauce in his own recipes as well. “It provides the perfect element of salt and funk,” he says.

There is another item that has caught Chef Harper’s eye as of late. “I am recently falling in love with A Bar N Ranch’s Wagyu beef,” he says. A Bar N Ranch is famous for its Wagyu herd in nearby Sherman, Texas. “We will be featuring their beef on Trio’s new summer menu.”

For the shoot, Chef Juan Rodriguez made Inflatida (a puffed corn tortilla) with Heirloom Corn from Oaxaca, served with a radish garnish. »

“It was nine in the morning, and we were driving through La Rioja Region. Our guide stopped in a small town called La Guardia. He said the best tortilla espanola [potato and egg omelet] was made there in a bar,” he recalls. “We walked in, and all the local farmers were sitting down drinking beer and eating tortillas; I had a slice and a cortado [coffee]. By the time we paid…I had eaten six tortillas. They were amazing. But what was even more amazing was getting to know the locals. The ambiance and people…that is what made it memorable.”

Juan Rodriguez has brought many fascinating flavors home from his travels. His elegant, show-stopping paella is a just one example. With 17 years in the culinary business, he calls his style Mexican Fusion, incorporating the flavors and ingredients of Spanish Cuisine, Southwest, and New American into his cooking.

You might find the flavors of Mexican oregano and marjoram in his dishes. And Rodriguez is working with a new ingredient a lot these days — yellow Bolita corn from Oaxaca. Rodriguez grinds the imported corn, and it’s making its way into many of his corn dishes, from tortillas to tamales and sopes.

After attending The Art Institute of Dallas − School of Culinary Arts, Juan Rodriguez continued to grow under the wing of Chef Jennifer Brightman at the Classic Café in Roanoke.

“She would have me make mashed potatoes every day, and I had to have her taste them. She would tell me to add more salt or pepper,” Rodriguez recalls. “Finally, after a while, she didn’t want to taste them anymore…she said my seasoning was where it needed to be. I can’t tell you how many times I had to sit there and season those potatoes…but I’m glad she had me do it.”

Rodriguez then worked his way up through the food chain at Reata, ultimately serving for eight years as its executive chef in a kitchen which has launched a few other careers like Grady Spears, Tim Love and Brian Olenjack, just to name a few.

After leaving his post at Reata, Chef Rodriguez opened his own catering business, Magdalena’s Cocina Mexicana Local, in early 2015. He named the venture after his grandmother, Magdalena, who was another big influence on his cooking.

Hard work pays off. Magdalena’s was named Best Catering for 2017 by this very magazine. But with his first child (a baby boy) due to be born in October, Rodriguez along with his wife and business partner, Paige, will have even more on their plate.

JUAN RODRIGUEZ | The Scene-Stealing Caterer Chef and Owner, Magdalena’s Cocina Mexicana Local

The best meal Chef Juan Rodriguez has ever eaten was in Spain, and it wasn’t even a sit-down dinner.

“Magdalena’s is special because we are a supper club and catering company and not a full-service restaurant,” he says. Most of his supper clubs are complete sell-outs within days of opening the reservations. “The menu changes every month, and I like to build a connection between the menu, the guests and the ambiance. It’s about the experience and not about turning tables.”

Overall, the transition from Executive Chef to Chef/Owner of Magdalena’s has been a smooth one. “I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to be my own boss,” he says. “I make the calls and create what I want. It’s great. Not many people have that chance.”

Sound the Horn

TCU teams up with ad agency PAVLOV to create the theme of the 2017 football season — Horned & Dangerous’ darker, grittier cousin: Consider Yourself Horned.

| by Samantha Calimbahin |

DAMON HICKMAN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO SEE

IT. The package came wrapped in cellophane with the image of four menacing lizard spikes appearing to pierce through shiny cardstock. Flip open the purple tab, and the package opened to become a poster, about three feet long, revealing the ominous image of a football player and a massive, spiny horned frog behind him.

Written on top, the 2017 TCU Football season theme: Consider Yourself Horned.

“As a superfan — what I consider myself, somebody who bleeds purple — getting this is like a mixture of Christmas morning and my birthday all rolled into one,” said Hickman, a Fort Worth patent attorney and TCU season ticket holder.

The poster, which arrived in February for Hickman, served as a reminder to renew season tickets (it had come packaged with information on how to do so), but it also served as the first glance at the theme for the upcoming season. This year it’s Consider Yourself Horned. Last year it was Horned & Dangerous. The year before that, it was Unite for the Fight, and so forth. Season ticket holders see it first through renewal notices; then in the summer, the theme gets plastered all over town — billboards, bus benches, flags — and stays there throughout the football season. This year TCU is hoping to ride the momentum of last year’s Horned & Dangerous campaign, which Bleacher Report named the No. 1 College Football Team Schedule Poster of 2016.

The brains behind each theme? TCU (of course) and Fort Worth-based advertising agency PAVLOV. And, yes, even head coach Gary Patterson has a say.

“The ad campaign creates a common tribal call that we can all rally behind,” PAVLOV Creative Director Khris Kesling said. “This is what the season means to us. We’re like the external coaches, and our responsibility is to unify the fans.”

IT BEGAN WITH A LEGEND PAVLOV first teamed up with TCU in 2008, after the agency’s work on the Bell Helicopter Armed

Forces Bowl (later renamed the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl) caught the attention of TCU’s then-athletic director Danny Morrison. Morrison contacted PAVLOV, asking if the agency could put a “national polish on the TCU Football brand,” said PAVLOV CEO Allen Wallach. So the ad agency decided to give it a try.

Thankfully for PAVLOV, the 2008 campaign had a timely news peg — the 70th anniversary of the 1938 national championship team. So, with the history in mind, PAVLOV rolled out the Legends campaign, creating a series of graphics profiling key players in TCU Football lore, like Sammy Baugh, Davey O’Brien and Bob Lilly.

TCU liked the campaign enough to bring PAVLOV back the following year. But this time, it would be something a little grittier. TCU had a program on the rise, having finished 11-2 the previous year and returning with a roster of names like Andy Dalton, Jeremy Kerley and Marshall Newhouse. The Frogs also had a senior, AllAmerican defensive end, Jerry Hughes.

Hence, PAVLOV went with a concept similar to Legends, but with current players, launching the Reasons campaign in 2009. Each player had his own poster or video, with his number representing a reason to watch the game: Andy Dalton was reason No. 14, Jerry Hughes was No. 98, and so on.

PAVLOV was also responsible for creating a series of TV commercials to go along with the campaign. As it turned out, Robert Latorre of Big Fish Films — a pioneer in 360-degree video (think the scene from The Matrix when Keanu Reeves bends backwards and the camera circles around him) — was in Dallas and happened to like TCU so much that he agreed to collaborate with PAVLOV on the campaign.

Coach Patterson played a role too, choosing which players would appear on promotional materials. It has remained the case until now — Patterson often rewards seniors and top performers with the opportunity to appear on posters or trading cards, said TCU associate athletics director Drew Martin. Patterson also critiques player photography, checking details like the player’s pose or the direction

of his eyes, to make sure it stays true to the game. Martin said Patterson also sees proofs of ads, posters and other materials that have images of student athletes before the materials go public.

Still, Wallach said Patterson gives PAVLOV room for creative freedom.

“At the core of our creative campaigns is the TCU Football brand cultivated by Coach Patterson,” Wallach said. “He maintains a keen interest in the creative direction we take each year.”

PAVLOV continued to work with TCU through the years, from the BIG campaign (2012, TCU’s first year in the Big 12) to Unite for the Fight (2015). Then came 2016, when the team put out what many would call PAVLOV’s best work to date.

SOMETHING DANGEROUS The idea for the 2016 campaign first dawned on Wallach when he saw a photo of a horned lizard posed against a white background in a 2015 Texas Monthly article. There was something about the photo that struck him — the clarity of the details on the lizard’s spiny skin — and for the first time, the horned lizard looked less like a “little, squashable critter” and more like “the ferocious beast that it is,” Wallach said. So he ripped out the page and showed it to his team.

PAVLOV soon discovered that the image belonged to photographer Randal Ford's series, Kingdom: The Animal Portrait Collection. Ford gladly agreed to license its photo rights to TCU Athletics; then with PAVLOV’s Design Director Cassie Kruemcke at the helm of the layout, the team diverted from the look of its previous campaigns, opting for a cleaner, simpler, yet striking design — one they titled, “Horned & Dangerous.”

While the campaign used less paper, as TCU looked to drive more season ticket sales online, paper materials still came with their surprises — the horned frog’s skin, for example, was overlaid with a sand coating to make it rough to the touch. Inside the brochure, a pop-up of the lizard’s face.

The reception was overwhelmingly positive. Horned & Dangerous, coupled with TCU’s other marketing efforts and notoriety as a football team, helped the university reach capacity for season tickets (that is, 34,000) that year.

The campaign, too, was selling in and of itself, Martin said. “People were wanting to buy extras of the delivery packages that we sent out season tickets in, or the season ticket renewal pieces,” Martin said. “That’s unusual — we want them to buy the tickets,

not necessarily the materials — but it’s great when a fan base responds like that. We knew we were onto something.”

YOU’VE BEEN HORNED

The Horned & Dangerous campaign had a video that played in the stadium before players ran out onto the field. It juxtaposed a player and a horned frog, and as the video progressed, the player’s skin would transform into the texture of the frog’s.

By the time the videos were playing in the stadium well into football season, TCU and PAVLOV were already back at the drawing board to come up with the 2017 campaign. If anything, it had momentum to carry from Horned & Dangerous. After spending time brainstorming, PAVLOV Art Director Morgan Godby came up with “consider yourself horned,” a play on the phrase “consider yourself warned,” that also grabbed the word “horned” from Horned & Dangerous.

Then the wheels began to turn. Rather than a white background, the design went black. Rather than a horned frog and a player side-by-side, the two became one. The image of the threatening horned frog standing behind the player in the graphic is the same photo from last year’s campaign, retouched to look better against the darker scheme. The player standing at the front was also shot by Ford. And so Consider Yourself Horned was born — the darker, grittier cousin of Horned & Dangerous.

By February, the campaign reached the eyes of season ticket holders, announcing a new era for TCU Football. In September, a new season will kick off, and before it even ends, PAVLOV and TCU will be planning for 2018.

“Our best clients are clients who are fearless with us, who allow us to test the boundaries of engaging creative,” Wallach said. “It’s a tale told a thousand times. You have the best results when you have a client who is willing to step out on that ledge with you.”

Hickman, a 2001 TCU graduate and season ticket holder since 2011, still has some of the materials from previous campaigns. Seeing the promos each year, he says, only adds to the excitement.

“It's exciting to be one of the first fans to see what TCU Athletics will be pushing all season long,” he said. “Again, from the tickets I receive in August, to the video board during the games, to the city buses that drive by, I consider myself ‘horned and dangerous’ all season long.”

TCU'S FOOTBALL CAMPAIGNS THROUGH THE YEARS »

From left to right: Allen Wallach, Claire Armstrong, Amanda Gibson, Morgan Godby, Cassie Kruemcke and Khris Kesling of PAVLOV

« 2008 Legends

TCU’s first campaign with PAVLOV celebrated the 70th anniversary of the 1938 national championship team, highlighting notable players from TCU history like Sammy Baugh, Davey O’Brien and Bob Lilly.

2010

PAVLOV did not work with TCU in 2010 while Chris Del Conte was transitioning as the university’s new athletic director.

2009 Reasons

With a rising team that included players like Jerry Hughes and Andy Dalton, TCU and PAVLOV created the Reasons campaign, with each player’s number representing a “reason” to watch the game. Head coach Gary Patterson selected which players would be highlighted and also commented on the photography to make sure details like player poses and eye contact looked authentic.

2011 A New Era

By 2011, TCU had announced that Amon G. Carter Stadium would undergo renovation, so the university worked with PAVLOV to create a promotional campaign in anticipation of the new stadium. One of the materials was a pamphlet whose cover read “a new era is unfolding” — which then unfolded to become a commemorative pennant.

TCU played its first season in the Big 12 in 2012, so the “Big 2012” design was a natural choice for that year’s campaign. Likewise, season ticket brochures were appropriately big, with multiple pages describing the newly renovated stadium’s seating structure, parking, ticket renewal process and other information.

2013

Fear the Frog

Horned frogs are known to squirt blood from their eyes as a defense mechanism. The Fear the Frog campaign highlighted this characteristic, depicting the red eyes of a horned frog staring down the viewer.

2014

Amp It Up

Following a down year in which the Frogs finished 4-8, Patterson didn’t want to come across as apologetic, but rather, revamped, asking fans to come louder and rowdier than they had been in the past — hence, “Amp It Up” became the theme of 2014. That year, the Frogs finished 12-1 with a resounding 42-3 win in the Peach Bowl.

2016

2015

Unite for the Fight

With an army-style theme for 2015, season ticket holders received patches of the “Unite for the Fight” logo that could be sewn onto clothing and other items.

Horned & Dangerous

Noted for its clean design and crisp photography of a live horned frog, Horned & Dangerous has been one of the most well-received campaigns to date.

2017

Consider Yourself Horned

While Horned & Dangerous depicted the horned frog and the player side-by-side, Consider Yourself Horned is meant to be the melding of the two, taking on a darker, more menacing tone.

An Energy Star

Our fall Dream Home is a superstar in energy efficiency, from the windows to the sheathing, insulation and air conditioning.

| by Scott Nishimura |

FORT WORTH MAGAZINE’S FALL DREAM HOME — a 5,300-square-foot Hill Country contemporary under construction on Estribo Circle in southwest Fort Worth’s La Cantera luxury development — has a full lineup of energysaving amenities. The home, being built by Braswell Homes and already sold, will be open for tours beginning Sept. 27.

Jeld-Wen’s Siteline windows and patio doors | Texas Custom Window & Door The Dream Home’s energy efficiency starts with its windows. Jeld-Wen’s Siteline wood windows and patio doors — provided by our Dream Home vendor Texas Custom Window & Door — meet or exceed 2016 Energy Star 6 requirements. Siteline’s LoE 366 glass blocks infrared rays. In warm weather, the glass reflects the sun’s energy and prevents it from entering the home, Jeld-Wen says. In cold weather, the glass reduces heat lost by reflecting it back inside.

“Most of your heat loss [in a home] comes from your windows,” Braswell says.

ZIP System wall sheathing and tape | Red Oak Insulation, BMC Instead of going with a building wrap used over plywood sheeting in many homes, our Dream Home

sports ZIP System sheathing, an engineered wood panel with built-in wrap that reduces air leakage and moisture damage inside the walls. Braswell says he doesn’t use standard wrap in his construction projects; he prefers the ZIP wall.

Extra insulation and thicker walls | Red Oak Insulation, BMC The Dream Home has full foam encapsulation in the attic and walls, installed by Red Oak Insulation.

High-efficiency HVAC | J&S Air The Dream Home has a Trane XR17 system with a twostage outdoor compressor system and a variable-speed indoor furnace. The system also has Trane’s new Wi-Fi-capable controllers that “make sure the systems operate exactly where they are supposed to and also help the owner keep track of the operation with just his phone,” Ken Carpenter, of our Dream Home HVAC vendor, J&S Air, says. The speed and size of the HVAC system change to accommodate the temperatures needed throughout the day. Mild days require low speeds, while hotter days require high speed and more cooling capacity. The variable-speed indoor motor allows “better humidity control, and it lets the HVAC system wring out more of the moisture in the air, which in turn really makes the

temperature feel cooler because it is drier air,” Carpenter says.

Kool Ply roof decking | Texas Tile Roofing Here, the Dream Home has another bonus. The metal roof, installed by Texas Tile Roofing, includes Kool Ply decking. “As the heat hits the decking, it is refracted into the air,” Braswell says.

LED lighting | Ferguson, Passion Lighting All of the Dream Home’s light fixtures — the interior and exterior lighting being provided by our vendor Ferguson, and landscape lighting by Passion Lighting — will feature LEDs. “They are 80 percent more efficient than a standard halogen light,” Braswell says. “And the new LED lights have a 25,000-hour life.”

Patio | JetStream Outdoor Cooling and Southwest Shade Solutions The Dream Home’s back veranda outside the master suite has an in-ceiling mister that ionizes water that’s blown in by fan — a de facto exterior cooling system for those hot summer days. “It actually feels like AC,” Braswell says. The veranda also features electronic retractable shades provided by Southwest Shade Solutions that will keep the sun out during the summer and help hold heat from the fire pit during the winter.

Tankless water heaters | ProServe Plumbing Two tankless water heaters, provided by ProServe Plumbing, mean the Dream Home expends energy heating water only when hot water is being used. “It is an ondemand system, only heating water when it is necessary,” Braswell says.

Direct vent fireplace | Nix Fireplace Direct vent fireplaces draw combustion air from outside and send the exhaust out through a different vent, eliminating the need for a chimney. The system circulates warm air and keeps the winter’s cold air out.

INTRODUCTION | This list is excerpted from the 2017 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings for more than 470 dentists and specialists in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metro Area. The list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at www.usatopdentists.com. For more information call 706-364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists. com or visit www.usatopdentists.com.

SELECTION PROCESS | "If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?"

This is the question we've asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and of course physical results.

The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online by the ADA as well as all dentists listed online with their local/ regional dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list.

Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received and status in various dental academies can play a factor in our decisions.

Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.

Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in Texas. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate, and useful list of dentists available anywhere.

EXPERT TIP

What's the worst thing you can do to your teeth?

“Sip and swish sodas or sweetened drinks all day. Most sugared sodas and drinks are not only full of sugar, which feeds the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but they are also acidic which creates more tooth destruction than the cavity-causing bacteria. The combination of the two is literally lethal to teeth.”

The Humane Society saddles up to raise money for its equine program.

| by Samantha Calimbahin |

DOGS AND CATS ARE OFTEN THE FIRST ANIMALS THAT COME TO MIND WHEN PEOPLE THINK “HUMANE SOCIETY,” BUT THE ORGANIZATION ALSO HAS A LONGSTANDING EQUINE PROGRAM, HELPING HORSES RECOVER FROM ABUSE AND NEGLECT.

On Aug. 5, the Humane Society of North Texas will host the HSNT Jamboree at Billy Bob’s Texas to raise money for the equine program. The Western-themed event features live music, a barbecue dinner, raffle and silent auction.

Each horse costs an average $150 to take care of, with the organization treating an average of 700 horses a year, said Sandy Shelby, senior director of development and communications of the Humane Society. The organization seizes animals suffering from abuse or neglect; rehabilitates them at ranches in Joshua, Crowley and Azle; and connects them to adopters.

The program is especially personal for Shelby, who says she grew up with horses throughout her life. She owned two horses – a mustang mare and Arabian and quarter horse mix – that both lived to be about 30. Working with horses today, she says, makes her feel “like being at home.”

“If it wasn’t for us, these animals would not have a voice for someone to go out there and help,” she said.

One memory that sticks out for her is the time the Humane Society rescued a mother horse, Bella, and her baby, Buttercup, about three years ago. Both had survived a barn fire – Bella had stood over Buttercup to protect him – and sustained burns from the incident. The Humane Society’s veterinarians spent weeks caring for the horses, and eventually, both were adopted together.

“That’s what Fort Worth is built on. Horses are part of our history,” Shelby said. “For anyone who is a horse lover, it just touches your heart knowing that there’s someone here looking out for that particular group of animals.”

And it’s not just dogs, cats and horses. The Humane Society also treats chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits and other animals in need.

“We never turn an animal away,” Shelby said.

Tour for Jordan

It’s a long way from Oregon to Virginia, but the family and friends of a young woman who lost her life to suicide are willing to travel it. On bikes.

| by Samantha Calimbahin |

ABOUT 3,700 MILES STRETCH BETWEEN THE LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK IN OREGON TO THE AIR FORCE MEMORIAL IN VIRGINIA. PLUGGED INTO GOOGLE MAPS, IT’S AN APPROXIMATELY 43-HOUR DRIVE (WITHOUT STOPS, OBVIOUSLY).

Now imagine biking it.

That’s exactly what Tom Harris and Dyar Bentz plan to do during the Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation’s Light the Trail event, a bike ride that starts Sept. 3 and ends Nov. 11. The event is meant to raise awareness for issues like depression and suicide, both of which have hit Harris and Bentz personally.

The topic can be “very awkward,” Harris said, but the foundation hopes to change that notion.

“When you talk about mental illness, suicide and depression, we’ve got to get the conversation to a point where people are comfortable talking about their loved ones, talking about their friends, talking about themselves, if they’re struggling,” he said.

The route is the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but backwards (many historians believe that Meriwether Lewis’ death was a suicide). Among the stops are Great Falls, Montana; Pierre, South Dakota; and Chesterfield, Missouri.

How to follow the trail:

Harris, the co-founder of the Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation, is the father of the organization’s namesake, Jordan Harris, who committed suicide about five years ago at the age of 22. Bentz, Light the Trail’s program director, was a friend of Jordan; they had attended senior prom together. The foundation was formed in 2014, and since then, it has raised about $265,000 for depression and mental health research, as well as suicide prevention training and support programs.

More information on Light the Trail can be found at lightthetrailride.org. The riders will also be documenting their adventures on Facebook, facebook.com/lightthetrailride, and Instagram, @lightthetrail.

Now the team is looking forward to Light the Trail — a ride meant to not only raise money and awareness, but also start conversations with community members about ways to help people dealing with depression, mental health and suicide prevention.

The last stop is the Air Force Memorial, where the team hopes to spend Veterans Day.

Harris will be riding along with Bentz and foundation board member Isaac Manning, as well as other participants who have signed up to ride part of the way. Harris’ and Manning’s wives will travel as well, driving support vehicles alongside the riders.

Bentz, who has experience on long bike rides (he once rode the 4,000-mile Texas 4000 to raise money for cancer research), has been training the crew.

He says he can’t wait to get going.

“I know from my own personal experience that being on a bike and riding into a community is the best icebreaker there is,” Bentz said. “You ride in, somebody asks what you’re doing, where you came from, why you’re doing it, and we have a really great answer.”

2017 School Guide

Each year, thousands of parents and students begin their hunt for the perfect school. Filling out application after application, setting up interviews and making multiple visits to schools can be a daunting task. Where will my child excel academically, grow personally and truly enjoy learning?

Whether you’re seeking a school for a specific teaching methodology or prefer that your child learn in a religious environment at a school that shares your family’s vision, the search can seem overwhelming. Things can get especially tricky if you are enrolling more than one child into private school or college — one size doesn’t fit all, and it’s difficult to find just the right match. Extensive research is often required, and critical questions will arise regarding tuition costs, test assessments, personal interviews and the application process, among others. When it comes down to it, choosing a school for your child is no easy task, to say the least.

On the following pages, you will find a comprehensive list of private schools, colleges and graduate programs in the area. From fine arts academies and faith-based schools, to Montessori academies and schools focused on accelerated learning for the gifted and talented, the 2017 School Guide gives parents an in-depth look at each school, including student-to-teacher ratio, cost of tuition and enrollment.

We hope you will find this quick reference to the area’s schools and colleges helpful as you explore the possibilities of your child’s education.

As a Tarleton student, Kenneth Estes played an active role as a men’s tennis player and in ROTC. Tarleton’s tradition of excellence and inspiring faculty greatly influenced him and instilled the importance of leadership and hard work to achieve life’s aspirations.

As Superintendent of Alvarado ISD, Kenneth Estes puts his three Tarleton degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate) to work every day, providing leadership and inspiration to teachers and staff. His leadership empowers teachers to prepare students to be healthy, proud and responsible citizens who also are critical thinkers and problem solvers.

Fort Worth Magazine is the only magazine in the city that subscribers pay for, and we prove our worth month after month. Other magazines might claim higher circulation numbers, but they aren’t telling the whole story. Those magazines are free. The result? Many of those publications end up in the trash or in forgotten piles of mail. Our magazine carries our city’s namesake and only arrives in homes where people have requested us by that name. It’s worth every penny.

Brian Estridge

Voice of the TCU Horned Frogs

| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |

UNLIKE

MANY

YOUNG BOYS

HIS

AGE

WHO SAT MESMERIZED AS THEY WATCHED PROFOOTBALLERS THROW WINNING PASSES AND MAKE IMPRESSIVE TACKLES, Brian Estridge had less of a desire to become a star quarterback and more of a drive to be the commanding voice announcing the plays. From age 8, he’d sit in his room and mute the sound on his little television, calling the games himself. “I had a knack for describing the action. I always knew that I was either going to be a broadcaster or a preacher,” Estridge says.

At 14 years old, he confidently marched into a small AM radio station in South Carolina. They handed him a script to deliver aloud and afterward asked him when he could start. “I can’t remember what they asked me to read. It may have been an obituary. Not long after that, I did my first basketball state championship. I didn’t know the girls’ names on the other team, so I had to call them by their numbers.”

Estridge played football throughout high school, but he had a life-defining decision presented to him during his senior year. “I was given the option of either playing or doing the play-byplay on the radio. I knew I’d never be a pro-football player, but I thought there was a chance that I might be a broadcaster.”

Fast-forward a few decades, and Estridge is now the official “Voice of the TCU Horned Frogs.” He began 20 years ago with TCU and is currently the director of broadcasting, working off a theory that there are three key elements to a successful broadcast. “First of all, it’s got to be entertaining. I want listeners sitting on the edge of their seats. Outside of that, I try to make them laugh a little and learn a little. I just want them to feel like they’ve followed the ball.”

He says it’s nearly impossible to decide on any one TCU game or play that stands out over the years. “I still love how Jeff Ballard led the comeback against BYU in Provo as a quarterback. I love the pass from Trevone Boykin to Aaron Greene, which won the Tech game two years ago … But I don’t think there is anything better than when Tank Carder knocked the ball down and protected the win in the 2011 Rose Bowl.”

Estridge also co-hosts the morning show on WBAP, working alongside Hal Jay since 1981. “We have a terrific relationship. I’ve learned how to deal with people and how to not have a bad

day. I’ve seen how he is with his family, and that’s set a great example for me. Hal’s humor supersedes everything on the show,” Estridge says.

The radio show host/ “Voice of the Horned Frogs” is also the president of RedVoice Productions, a company that produces and distributes college football games on radio nationally. In 2013 the company was granted broadcast rights for the Heart of Dallas Bowl. RedVoice’s expeditious growth now includes the airing of more than eight bowl games, and it has expanded into college basketball tournaments. “After ESPN radio, RedVoice carries the second most games. We are playing on a busy highway with semis rolling right beside us, and we are trying to keep up. We aren’t concerned because there is plenty of room on this highway for us,” he says.

While Estridge sits on several boards, HOPE Farm, which mentors boys from single-parent homes, is close to his heart. Estridge’s wife of 21 years, Becky, began at HOPE Farm as a volunteer and now works there full time. “It’s a ministry where we see the real value,” he says. “It has a significant impact on those young men. Becky sees it as her calling. Anytime that she isn’t with her family, she spends there.”

While he is a master juggler, the father of two admits that the biggest challenge he faces in life is keeping a balance between his busy career and his family, which includes two preteens (son, Gaines, 12, and daughter, Ellie, 11). “We also make it a point to sit down to dinner together at least four nights a week. I think that is really important.”

And Estridge pledges allegiance to another family as well … his Frog family. “TCU differentiates itself from other athletic organizations with its intimate fan relationship. It was like that when I started, and after decades of growth, they’ve managed to keep that connection with the fans. Many of my listeners I consider to be very close friends.”

Developing a Healthy View of Competition

| by Collin Sparks |

COMPETITION IS BECOMING LESS AND LESS IMPORTANT IN TODAY’S SOCIETY. It’s common for everyone on the football field or swim team to receive a first-place trophy just for participating. Everyone's a winner and no one loses. We fear competition will create bullies who let emotions and painful words fly off the handle and into hearts. We fear we will cultivate a prideful “anything you can do, I can do better” approach to life in our children. While unhealthy competition certainly can wear on a young mind and heart with residual side effects, is eliminating competition altogether the answer?

I believe there is something incredibly powerful in competition done right. We have seen it for decades at Camp Kanakuk, the largest Christian sports camp in the nation. A day on the soccer field or at the tennis courts can provide one of the most effective tools to develop caring, kind, servant-hearted leaders. Here are a few keys to ensure competition is healthy, not harmful, when leading children.

Losing leads to growth. In every game, there has to be a winning and a losing team. Sometimes, the same is true in life. For kids to understand this, it is important for us as parents and coaches to teach them how to grow in times of loss. Teaching our kids that losing is not the end of the world will change their perspective on competition. To be successful in life, our youth need to understand that losing or making a mistake does not speak to some identity flaw or lack of ability, but rather is an opportunity to learn and grow.

Let them struggle. Allowing a child to troubleshoot situations that are not working in their favor helps them develop problem-solving skills beyond the field. If a parent or coach automatically runs to a child’s rescue every time he or she needs help, it can create a dependency on others for decision-making and limit the child’s abilities to work hard and take care of themselves.

Know teachable moments. Winning and losing both create opportunities to build character in youth. After winning a game, we can teach our kids how to be humble in triumph. After losing a game, we can teach them how to deal with bitterness and defeat. It is important to help them understand why losing is a part of life. Building character comes from struggle, and that is the point of healthy competition.

Encourage your kids. It’s common for people to be against competition for fear of unhealthy ramifications, but healthy competition is a great way for us as parents and coaches to encourage our kids. Through winning, we can help them grow so when they find themselves winning in life, they are humble and grateful. Likewise, through losing, we can prepare them for when life becomes more challenging than anticipated, so they look for opportunities to grow and encourage others along the journey.

Likewise, our degree of effectiveness as parents is not based on our child’s performance.

Bolster identity. Teaching our children that their identities are not dictated by how they perform will ensure that they will not get caught up in the stress of competition. If a child knows his effort over time can produce positive change and personal growth, he will not be tempted to quit at the first strikeout.

Likewise, our degree of effectiveness as parents is not based on our child’s performance. Teaching our kids the true meaning of competition and how to treat others with respect is the greatest accomplishment we can have as a parent or coach of a child in sports. Teach them what is true and meaningful, and they will succeed in the future.

Winning is not the goal. Everyone wants to win, but winning isn’t the point of playing the game. The goal of competition should be to have fun, do your best and develop good sportsmanship. Developing a dynamic leader who is unhindered by self-doubt and fear is the goal. Healthy competition is the means. If your child wins, encourage him or her to talk about what someone else on the team did well that helped him or her win.

Collin Sparks is the executive director of Kamp Ministries at Kanakuk Kamps and director of K-Kountry in the summer. Collin grew up going to Kanakuk as a kamper from Texas, worked on summer staff through college at TCU, and even met his wife, Rachel, at Kanakuk. Collin is passionate about investing and equipping the next generation to reach the world for Christ.

Dental Work

| by Heywood | illustration by Charles Marsh |

AS YOU PROBABLY NOTICED WHILE STANDING IN THE "EXPRESS" LANE AT THE GROCERY STORE THE PAST 30 MINUTES, THIS MONTH'S ISSUE IS HONORING THE TOP DENTISTS IN OUR AREA. They are part of the over 200,000 practicing dentists nationwide, with almost 13,000 of them practicing in Texas alone. And the profession is growing. For good reason. Consider the fact that most people say that a person's smile is the first physical trait they notice. And nobody wants teeth that look like corn. That might be part of the reason why Americans spent over $120 billion on dental care last year.

You may not know this, but dentistry has been around over 7,000 years. People didn't smile much back then because they were either chasing or being chased by wild animals. Couple that with the fact that, like today, there was nothing funny on television. That's probably just as well. All their teeth looked like small replicas of Stonehenge.

However, early dentists were concerned about the pain from tooth decay. They believed that cavities were due to "tooth worms." Treatment sometimes consisted of a mixture of beeswax and herbs, but most of the time the tooth was just pulled. No charge if you bled to death.

Surprisingly, thanks to the Mayans,

cosmetic dentistry wasn't far behind. They weren't all that great at predicting the end of the world, but their dentists had a unique way of sprucing up a smile. First, they would drill small openings in all the teeth. Then they would place a variety of precious stones in the crevices and adhere them with a little tree sap. Sure, that might sound primitive, but even today it might be pretty hard to resist someone with blue opal front teeth and lava rock molars.

But even as early as 200 A.D., some civilizations in Italy had developed dental prosthetics, bridgework and gold crowns. That was a quite an accomplishment considering the fact that at the same time in Medieval Germany, the only cure for a toothache was to kiss a donkey. (True.) However, the major achievements in dentistry came much later.

In 1498, China produced the very first toothbrush. It had bristles made from the hair of horses, hogs and badgers.

It worked better as a back scratcher for the next 400 years until Colgate developed a new toothpaste that people could finally tolerate. Prior to that time, toothpaste generally consisted of soap, chalk and sometimes ground charcoal. But the new toothpaste didn't address another big dental problem that had been plaguing mankind for thousands of years. Bad breath. Enter Joseph Lister. As a physician during the 1800s, Lister developed a surgical antiseptic for hospital patients, but it wound up being used for cleaning feet, floor scrubbing and a couple of STDs. But Lister died before he saw its biggest success. Some guy decided to market it as a mouthwash. That's right. Listerine. The same foot and floor cleaner you're probably gargling with today.

Dentistry actually became a defined profession during the 1700s, and since then, some notable people in history took up the practice. Paul Revere was a dentist and was the first person known to use dental forensics for identification. The man who invented the electric chair, Alfred P. Southwick, was also a dentist. I guess his dental work was so painful that some of his patients would opt for that.

But modern dentistry is not only painless, it also employs state-of-the-art technology. I just wish they had all of today's technology back in the days when Leonardo da Vinci was alive. Rumor has it that the reason Mona Lisa had that tightlipped smile was because she had bad teeth. I bet even Leo would have preferred painting Mona taking a selfie while flashing some brand new veneers.

Magnolia Migration

With its relaxed habitat, inventive cocktail selection and killer lineup of live music, The Lazy Moose in the Near Southside is a rustic-yetrefined watering hole with a herd of loyal regulars.

| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |

WHEN VANCE MARTIN, OWNER OF LILI’S BISTRO,

and David Shaw, longtime restaurant veteran and co-owner of Shaw’s Patio Bar & Grill, put their heads together for a unique bar concept in Fort Worth, The Lazy Moose was born. Opening late

London Calling

last year, the lodge-like establishment instantly transports guests from the Magnolia sidewalk to a cozy ski-town respite. A dramatic stone fireplace, less appealing now but will be calling our names in a few months, demands attention upon entering. Overstuffed comfy leather chairs anchor the space, and warm wood accents are throughout. We’d hate to see the taxidermy bill for the stuffed creatures dispersed throughout the space.

Hours: Tue.-Thu., 4 p.m.-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 4 p.m.midnight; Sun.-Mon. Closed

On a visit with a group of friends needing to decompress during happy hour, the place was packed with those who apparently had the same idea. Being a frequenter of The Lazy Moose, I stuck with my usual, the Blood Orange Basil Martini ($9). The bartender successfully blended the Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka, St-Germaine elderflower, blood orange juice and sour mix. My friend tried the recently added Just Peachy ($9) libation

For those wanting to graze as they drink, The Lazy Moose has a small, new food menu. Stand-out items include the Mac N Cheese Bites (creamy bites served with marinara, $8), the Lili’s House Burger (half-pound burger with Gorgonzola dressing, bacon and tomato, $12.50) and The Big Shaw Dog (quarter-pound, all-beef hot dog with grilled peppers and onions, marinara and mozzarella cheese, $8).

Recently there have been some changes at The Lazy Moose. In addition to the menu receiving a facelift, a few new cocktails were added. Focus has intensified on live music, and owners are exploring ideas of adding trivia nights and possibly karaoke. “We have looked, listened and learned and are doing what we think our market and our guests want to see more of,” Martin says.

TEA TIME IN TEXAS TYPICALLY INVOLVES A TALL GLASS, LOTS OF ICE, AND PERHAPS A FRONT PORCH. But not at Six 10 Grille at the Ashton Hotel, where traditional afternoon tea, with its multicourse menu of tea sandwiches, light bites, scones and mini desserts, is served most Saturdays between 2 and 4 p.m. (The $45 per person price includes valet parking, and reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.) The semi-formal affair provides a glimpse of British culture in Cowtown, from the warm hand towels offered prior to service, down to the heirloom fine bone china made in England.

After a flute of bubbly Champagne, the tea party begins with, naturally, the tea. Selections range from ginger peach oolong and Earl Grey to white pomegranate and, the runaway favorite at our table, coconut Assam, a black tea from India. Selections are limited

to one per person; however, upon the server’s recommendation, each party member ordered differently, and teapots were shared so more than one could be sampled.

Afternoon tea newbies should note: the elegant tea strainer positioned at each table setting is not just a prop. Place it over the teacup before pouring hot steeping tea from the tiny pot. Otherwise, tea leaves will fall into the cup, leaving potential for a not-

Omni Fort Worth Hotel

Benefitting the Home-Delivered Meals Program

Before there was Las Vegas, there was Havana, Cuba. This island hotspot was the preferred playground for thrill-seeking Americans in the 1940s and 1950s. This fall, we will re-create the excitement of Old Havana at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. You will enjoy a hosted cocktail hour, live music, a gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions, and nonstop fun at our gaming tables.

Location: 610 Main St., Fort Worth 76102

For Info: 817-332-0100, theashtonhotel.com

What We Liked: The hotel’s ambiance and special occasion feel, along with the entire Saturday afternoon tea experience.

What We Didn’t: Pricy breakfast dishes that didn’t quite impress.

Our Recommendations: Visit for Saturday afternoon tea and take someone who enjoys good conversation over a light yet lengthy meal. Make reservations well in advance. And bring your sweet tooth.

so-smooth sipping experience.

The first course of the four-course menu, which changes seasonally, began with creamy English pea soup garnished with a drizzle of lemon crème fraiche served in a tiny cup. Savory, warm and with a hint of mushroom flavor, the delightful amuse-bouche set the tone for the courses to come.

Next arrived a three-tiered tea sandwich tower with a small smorgasbord of bite-sized noshables arranged in picture-perfect fashion on gold-rimmed plates. At the top was pancetta-wrapped asparagus garnished with thyme dressing followed by various open-face sandwiches, including tarragon chicken salad, honey ham with brie and sliced apples, and caprese salad on focaccia. At the bottom were mini salmon croquettes and pine nuttopped spinach and feta in crispy phyllo dough.

Portions were one bite per person, and all went quickly in between continual sips of warm tea. And while more of the delectable nibbles would have been welcome, afternoon tea and its tiny accompanying menu isn’t intended to replace a full meal. History says Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, established the tradition after requiring an afternoon snack before the late evening

dinner, which typically took place around 8 p.m.

Courses three and four catered to those with a serious sweet tooth. A basket of strawberry scones were presented with tart lemon curd, blackberry preserves and Devonshire cream – also known as clotted cream. The latter was fluffy, tangy, slightly sweet and very addicting. The scones would have sufficed, but a tray of additional desserts included mini banana tartlets, tall shot glasses filled with rich chocolate mousse and white chocolate-covered strawberries. All were divine, but the largersized portions of the sugary selections seemed slightly lopsided compared to those that were savory.

While there is no lunch or dinner service at Six 10 Grille anymore, breakfast is served daily until 10:30 a.m. The elegant dining room is typically quiet, making it ideal for patrons looking to eat in peace or even solo with a laptop and coffee. Dishes are on the pricier side, with entrees ranging from the $13 huevos rancheros (there are better, more authentic versions in town for much less) to the $16 steak and eggs “Stockyard” special served with potatoes or fruit.

The Ashton Hotel is most certainly a downtown Fort Worth treasure. Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, the destination dates back to 1915 when it was built as the home of The Fort Worth Club. After multiple owners and occupants, the building was purchased and redeveloped into The Ashton Hotel in 2001.

Pop-Up Restaurants Explode in Fort Worth

| by Shilo Urban |

POP-UP DINNERS ARE, WELL, POPPING UP ALL OVER THE CITY — fun dining adventures with limited seating, offbeat locations, and erratic schedules. Temporary in nature, these dinners feel more like special events instead of your standard dining-out experience. Chefs often experiment with more creative dishes, giving each meal an edge of excitement and an exclusive “insider” feel. Space is always limited, and popular pop-ups fill up fast — sometimes within hours or even minutes. If you don’t want to miss out, follow the chef, restaurant, or venue closely on social media and/or add your name to pop-up’s email list.

1. SAAP LAO KITCHEN

Have you ever tried Lao cuisine? Embark on a culinary journey to Southeast Asia and discover the flavors of Laos. SAAP means “delicious” — and this family is on a mission to share their country’s incredible food with the world: crispy coconut rice with cured pork meat, spicy smashed papaya salad, and baked lemongrass

chicken. When they’re not hosting pop-ups in Fort Worth, you’ll find SAAP Lao selling handcrafted, Lao-style beef jerky (aka crack jerky) at the Dallas Farmers Market.

Location: Varies

Email List: saaplaokitchen@gmail.com

Upcoming Dates: August 12 at The Collective Brewing Project

2. YATAI FOOD KART

From impromptu ramen shops in downtown Fort Worth to family-style Sunday dinners, Kevin Martinez embraces the true spirit of the pop-up. Events are announced just a few days before, the location varies, and the menu is usually cash only. Food is first come, first served until it runs out – and, believe me, you don’t want to miss it. Martinez is the executive chef of Tokyo Café, and his fresh take on Asian-inspired “farm to trailer” street food served at the Yatai Food Kart has garnered rave reviews from fervent fans. Find updates on new pop-up meals by following Kevin on Instagram.

Upcoming Dates: TBA (sometime in September)

5. RISCKY’S

Joe Riscky’s pop-ups will “for sure” return after the hot weather is over. Past dinners have dished out Texas barbeque favorites like oak-smoked prime brisket and Niman Ranch pork ribs — with all the fixin's, of course: creamed cheese green chile hominy, smoked ham butter beans, and Dutch-oven peach cobbler for dessert. Future pop-ups may also revolve around wet-aged ribeye steaks, giving you one more reason to look forward to cooler weather.

6. LONE STAR TAPS & CAPS

Although no dates are set in stone at the time of printing, craft-beer bar Lone Star Taps & Caps has “a lot of moving wheels for doing pop-up beer and food pairings in the near future.” Known for an excellent craft brew selection and growlers to go, the beer bar and shop hosts casual, multi-course pop-ups paired with a curated selection of unique craft beers.

8. MAGDALENA’S

Chef Juan Rodriguez brings the bold flavors of Mexico and Spain to the table at this ongoing supper club he runs with his wife, Paige. Dinner is often a family affair, whether he’s picked up fresh cabrito from relatives in Monterey or his mom has made the tortillas. Depending on the weather, you’ll either eat indoors in the industrial-chic dining room or outside with a backdrop of the downtown Fort Worth skyline. Magdalena’s super cool setting makes the location a hotbed of action for other local pop-ups. Visit the website to join the email list, and keep your eyes out for a very special Day of the Dead celebration in October.

Upcoming Dates: August 4, 5, 11, 18, 19, 25 and 26

9. TIM LOVE

Texas celebrity chef Tim Love turns his downtown Fort Worth Test Kitchen into a pop-up restaurant for a few days every February.

Pick of the Month

Cane Rosso

Cane Rosso teamed up with Magnolia Avenue neighbors Heim BBQ and MELT Ice Creams to mix up its menu. The pizza restaurant serves Heim BBQ’s famous bacon burnt ends on the Honey Bastard pizza on Tuesday evenings to create what they call the “Heimy Bastard.” The restaurant is also collaborating with MELT Ice Creams to produce a new Cane Rosso-exclusive flavor each month. (The first was Strawberry Basil.) Finally, add Cane Rosso to your list of brunch spots — the restaurant is now serving Saturday and Sunday brunch. (Meatball waffle sandwich, anyone?) That should all be enough to get your stomachs craving for some ‘za. canerosso.com/fort-worth

THEY DON’T CALL IT FUNKY TOWN FOR NOTHING.

Photographer Brian Luenser stumbled upon this free hypnosis event at the Fort Worth Water Gardens on a hot August day in 2015. A group of hypnotists were hosting a “Street Hypnosis” event using “instant induction” — a method that claims people can be hypnotized in as little as 30 seconds. Lines of people formed at four different hypnosis stations, proving that the August heat will make Fort Worthians do just about anything.
