Read ‘Em and Eat

YOU LIKE READING ABOUT FOOD, THEN YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT.

Following, you will find no less than 41 editorial pages of this magazine that are filled with images of and/or stories about food. That means pages are covered in juicy burgers, ridiculous-looking milkshakes, and overflowing charcuterie boards. And just like a delicious burger, you’ll find the best part of this issue right in the middle (or, on page 53) where our Best New Restaurants story starts. Freelance writer Malcolm Mayhew joined us for this one in his first article for the magazine. I knew this foodie know-it-all would be perfect for the job, and he did not disappoint as he painstakingly debated over each and every spot. His take on the Fort Worth dining scene is optimistic, evaluative and downright drool-inducing. I experienced a bout of restaurant depression earlier this year after La Perla, Revolver and Le Cep closed down, one after another. But working on this issue was just what I needed to start hearing stomach grumbles again.

Trailing Ahead

After three years, Cross Timbers Trail reopens at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge.

| by Samantha Calimbahin |

FLOODING NEARLY CLOSED CROSS TIMBERS TRAIL FOR GOOD IN 2015.

But thanks to a renovation project spearheaded by the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant Regional Water District, and nonprofit organization Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, the trail reopened Oct. 13 at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge.

“Nature Center visitors who have never hiked this trail are in for a real treat,” Nature Center Manager Rob Denkhaus said in a statement.

Renovations to the 3.5-mile trail include a gap in the trail’s levee, which allows water to move freely in either direction, preventing floodwater destruction. A 79-foot bridge was also constructed for pedestrians.

Even before the closure in 2015, Cross Timbers Trail was difficult to access due to levee breaches. With the renovation, the refuge hopes to improve accessibility to not only the trail, but also Todd Island, an island located on the northernmost part of the refuge and surrounded by waters of the West Fork

of the Trinity River. The island is home to wildlife like wild turkey, armadillo and whitetail deer.

“We continue to see more interest and public-private support for wonderful projects like these,” said Chris Smith, president of the Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge. “The City, TRWD, Nature Center staff and Friends coming together demonstrate an increasing local desire to preserve and protect our beautiful natural resources, which are so vital to a growing, vibrant region.”

John Tesar Cuts Into Fort Worth

With New Crockett Street Food Hall

| by Courtney Dabney |

CHEF JOHN TESAR IS FINALLY OPENING A RESTAURANT IN FORT WORTH, AND — DRUM ROLL, PLEASE — IT WILL BE HIS THIRD KNIFE BURGER CONCEPT, AND THE FIRST WITH A FULL BAR.

Knife Burger will be located inside the new 16,000-square-foot Crockett Street Food Hall, which is now under construction on the northwest corner of Crockett Street and Norwood Street.

The food hall will be the first entry into the North Texas market by Hospitality Alliance, which already has a presence in New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The Food Hall will house 14 different concepts. “We will have barbecue, Italian, Asian, coffee and even doughnuts,” says CEO

Kevin Lillis of Hospitality Alliance.

Lillis confirmed that Chicago-based The Dapper Doughnut has signed on as well, serving up its handmade, fresh-fromthe-fryer, mini doughnuts. “The Dapper Doughnut will have a to-go window, as will the coffee shop, which will have two pass-through windows on Crockett Street,” says Lillis.

Lillis says they are hoping to open the food hall by the first of the year, but while the ground floor space is already built, the finish-out construction schedule may realistically push the opening to February or March of 2018.

The Food Hall will be divided into two separate spaces with a covered paseo in the middle. “There will be live music, a sound stage and speakers throughout, along with artworks and murals for our patrons to enjoy,” Lillis says.

After John Tesar’s laudable performance at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, he opened Spoon Bar & Kitchen in 2013 in Dallas.

Tesar then turned his attention toward more lethal cutlery … something closer to his sharp-edged persona. He opened Knife, where he is chef partner and restauranteur, the following year in 2014.

“Knife has been very successful for us,” he said. Knife serves up steakhouse dishes featuring all-natural Texas purveyed beef, pork and lamb — dry-aged in-house to

perfection. He has even been experimenting with dry-aged foie gras in his meat locker with tantalizing results.

After appearing in season 14 of “Top Chef,” Tesar is in high demand, jet-setting to appearances at food festivals around the country. Unfortunately, Tesar says he will not be back for season 15 of “Top Chef.” He simply has too much on his plate.

His first cookbook, Knife: Steakhouse Meals at Home, was released in May 2017. He has also been busy working on concepts around the country and consulting on many other new ventures.

Oh … and Tesar is currently in the developmental stages of two different television show pilots, one tentatively named “Pop-Up Kitchen,” and another which will be a restaurant restoration show.

With his 60th birthday just around the corner this November, he said, “It’s time for me to focus more of my time on training talented chefs and on expanding the brand.” John Tesar has big plans to do just that.

Knife Steakhouse will add another location in the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, along with a Knife Burger with direct mall access, and a butcher shop for customers to take home some of those expertly aged steaks. “The meat locker at our Plano location will hold 500 pieces of meat,” Tesar says. All are set to open there in February.

Knife Houston is still on the horizon, but he says, “I am actually looking at opening a location in Denver next.”

Another Knife Burger is already in the works — opening at the new Legacy West development in Plano this November.

When questioned why it took him so long to get to Fort Worth, Tesar said, “It’s only 30 miles between Fort Worth and Dallas, but sometimes it feels so much farther away.”

Knife Burger at Crockett Street Food Hall will serve bottled wine, wine on tap, numerous beer selections and craft cocktails. Tesar said, “The atmosphere and energy of the new food hall makes it the perfect location to open a fun and social place like Knife Burger.”

Guests who dine at B&B on Thanksgiving Day will leave with a complimentary leftover turkey sandwich

B&B Butchers Opens in The Shops at Clearfork With Big Thanksgiving Perks

Another Day, Another Taco Place

HOUSTON-BASED B&B BUTCHERS & RESTAURANT WILL OPEN IN THE SHOPS AT CLEARFORK ON NOV. 14. The upscale steakhouse and butcher shop has two claims to fame. One is being Beyonce and Jay-Z’s steakhouse of choice. The other is being one of only nine U.S. restaurants that serves authentic Kobe beef.

B&B Butchers is one of the first restaurants to open in the new development following Dallas-based Rise No. 3 and Malai Kitchen.

“We kept the menu and the design aesthetic like the Houston location to keep the experience consistent, but ultimately, we wanted this location to be distinctively Fort Worth,” says proprietor Benjamin Berg.

Berg says his team has sourced fixtures, artwork and tables for the space at online auctions and antique shops. Those details will go inside the 7,400-square-foot dining room and the 2,500-square-foot mezzanine. There will also be a partially covered patio that overlooks The Shops at Clearfork.

B&B will be open just in time to offer diners an option to join on Thanksgiving Day, when it will serve a prix fixe menu in addition to the entire dinner menu. Every guest will leave with leftover turkey sandwiches made in the Butcher Shop that morning, plus guests can grab complimentary hot apple cider, Thanksgiving-themed sugar cookies and pumpkin cheesecake balls.

Throughout the year, The Butcher Shop at B&B will also function as a delicatessen with custom hand-cuts, New York-style bagels and coffee for breakfast and madeto-order sandwiches for lunch to go or dine-in.

LOOKS LIKE IT’S NO LONGER A SECRET THAT QUICK AND CHEAP TACO PLACES ARE A HIT IN FORT WORTH. On the heels of multiple Salsa Limón locations, more Taco Heads in the pipeline and more Fuzzy’s Taco Shops than we can count, R Taco opened a second Fort Worth location in October – this one off of Camp Bowie Boulevard in Ridglea Village The first opened earlier this year in Bluebonnet Circle in the former Pegaso location (OK, maybe quick and cheap tacos aren’t always successful) The first R Taco (originally named Rusty Taco) opened in Dallas in 2010 and has since expanded to include 22 locations in five states The menu includes streetstyle tacos, breakfast tacos (both starting around $2 50), taco bowls and cocktails

Portland and Beyond

A trip to Portland doesn’t end in the city. The surrounding towns have a few surprises of their own.

JUDGING FROM NICKNAMES

LIKE CITY OF ROSES, BRIDGETOWN AND BEERVANA, PORTLAND, OREGON, HAS A LOT TO OFFER TRAVELERS. More than 7,000 rose bushes at the International Rose Test Garden, eight spectacular bridges spanning the Willamette River as it cuts through downtown, and more than 70 breweries scattered over 100 neighborhoods are all reason enough to visit this Pacific Northwest metropolis. But there is more to Portland than blooms, bridges and beer. An escape to this artsy city entails appetizing fare, stunning settings and a relaxed and charming culture that infuses everything.

There’s Pioneer Courthouse Square in the heart of downtown Portland. This thriving urban park hosts free live music, movies and cultural festivals year-round. Nearby Washington Park is home to not only the Oregon Zoo and miles of

stunning all-purpose trails, but also the distinguished Portland Japanese Garden and the not-to-be-missed World Forestry Center. And then there are the quintessential Portland excursions like the Portland Saturday Market for exotic foods and unique souvenirs; Powell’s City of Books, boasting more than 2 million new and used books; and any of the city’s 600 food carts or countless independent roasters and coffee shops. But that’s just in town.

The city of Portland resides amid a Pacific Northwest landscape begging to be toured. Beyond the urban exploits, a Portland getaway flourishes with an assortment of daytrip adventures to places like Sauvie Island, the Columbia River’s largest island and a great place for family adventure; Silver Falls State Park, Oregon’s largest state park and a seemingly boundless nature ramble; and tranquil Bagby Hot Springs, a primitive, natural hot springs tucked away amid a forest of towering firs.

A vacation to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge could occupy an entire week, but from Portland a scenic waterfall expedition including Multnomah Falls, just 45 minutes away, offers a complete serving of awe. More than 90 waterfalls occupy the gorge, and 620-foot Multnomah Falls is the tallest and most visited of them all. Other near-Portland falls include the elegant beauty of Bridal Veil Falls, the adventurous trek to Lower Oneonta Falls, and the kid-friendly beach beneath Wahclella Falls.

Oregon wine is world-renowned, so a daytrip touring the award-winning wineries of the Willamette Valley is a must. While the valley runs 150 miles from Portland to Eugene, some of the best wineries like Quailhurst Vineyard Estate, Winter’s Hill Estate, Cherry Hill Winery and Willamette Valley Vineyards are within 50 miles of downtown Portland, making an out-and-back wine tour easy. But it’s not all

grapes here; a Willamette Valley daytrip is rich in farm-to-table cuisine and the state’s legendary craft beer scene.

For longer daytrips, an extensive collection of distinguished Oregon towns lies within 100 miles of Portland. Small towns like St. Helens, Newberg and Yamhill offer country fresh air and scenery in exchange for the hustle and bustle of the big city. Boasting more dairy cows than people, the town of Tillamook on Tillamook Bay is a great place for dairy farm tours, a hike to Munson Creek Falls and a tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory.

The breathtaking panoramas of Oregon’s coastline draw daytrippers to the town of Canon Beach, one of America’s finest art towns and home to Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, rare wildlife including tufted puffins, and the legendary Haystack Rock. Meanwhile, at the mouth of the Columbia River sits the enchanting town of Astoria. Best known as the backdrop of the 1984 cult classic The Goonies, Astoria is also home to the iconic Astoria-Megler Bridge, the Old River Front Trolley and a collection of exciting museums, including the Oregon Film Museum and the Columbia Maritime Museum.

East of Portland, where the Columbia River meets the Cascade Mountains, the town of Hood River is a required daytrip for outdoor enthusiasts. Known as the windsurfing capital of the world, Hood River is great for watersports, but the mountains are ripe with scenic hiking trails through Mount Hood National Forest, exciting mountain biking in Post Canyon and alpine skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows. Hood River is also home to the Hood River County Fruit Loop, a 35-mile scenic drive through orchards, forests and farmlands where travelers can stop and sample fresh fruits and baked goods along the way.

So make time to explore all that Portland has to offer. It’s a captivating city with plenty to see and do. Budget for a rental car and a tank or two of gas before you come, though. Some of the sweetest parts of Portland are just a daytrip away.

Dual Lenses

Prominent Fort Worth artists Kim and Peter Robbins, married for 37 years, took divergent paths to their photography careers. On the heels of Peter creating art for Fort Worth Magazine’s fall Dream Home and in advance of Kim being the featured artist at Pottery Barn, we sit down with them and learn what it’s like to have that much creative talent under one roof.

| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |

PETER WAS IN EIGHTH GRADE WHEN HIS INTERESTS IN PHOTOGRAPHY BLOOMED. “My dad had a Praktica 35 mm that he brought back from Korea. I began taking photos with it. My best buddy was a photographer and was understudying this guy who was a Brooks graduate. We both began to apprentice him until at least our senior year. He taught me about quality, black-and-white printing and composition. At that time, it was my dream to be a photojournalist,” Peter says.

After graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 1978, Peter moved to Dallas and his career officially began. Soon after, Peter married his high school sweetheart, Kim, and the couple decided to leave Texas for Milan, Italy.

While in Europe, Peter worked as a freelance photojournalist for multiple newspapers and a myriad of European and American magazines. “I photographed everything from wars in Central America and the Middle East to fashion in Paris, Milan and New York,” Peter says.

Kim developed her passion for art at an early age and was

exposed to painting, dancing, drawing and theater throughout her youth. She attended Trinity University and Oklahoma University in the ’70s, majoring in art and sociology. After graduating, Kim moved to Dallas and began her 15-year career as a commercial fashion model. Her first assignment was a cover and editorial spread in Town & Country magazine, which followed with work all over Texas, New York, Europe, Asia, Mexico and South America.

Gradually Kim transitioned from modeling to on-set styling and makeup. “Being the model first, I was always with photographers and was constantly learning from them. For me, the camera became a vehicle for creative expression,” Kim says.

Marriage of Talent

The couple’s nearly 40-year marriage has been anything but boring, filled with high fashion, exotic travel and often-dangerous photojournalistic assignments. Working in the same field as your spouse can have its perks and its challenges, especially when dealing with the stereotypical traits of creative individuals.

“It’s not always easy with two artists in the family. Some of our strengths don’t always complement each other,” Peter says. “It’s not as much competitive as it is, she helps me and I help her.”

Kim and Peter often collaborate on projects. “Peter might call me his art director. My eye for composition and styling works well with his style,” Kim says.

For 15 years, Peter has concentrated on telling the story of the cowboy and the Western lifestyle. He says, “My focus is a very distant thing from what she [Kim] is interested in. It’s not like we are shooting over each other’s shoulders.”

Kim says they make the work/home balance successful by taking it one day at a time. “A lot of spats take place, but that helps you learn about boundaries and communication. Character growth can be born out of conflict. I admire Peter. I hadn’t planned to be an artist; it just flowed out of me. My son will say everything I’ve done in my life, layer upon layer, has led me to this,” Kim says.

Kim and Peter met in the ninth grade and will celebrate their wedding anniversary this month.

Muse and Method

“I never stop thinking about art. I was walking on the Trinity River the other day and saw an egret along the bank. It inspired two of my recent pieces [The Great White Egret #1 and The Great White Egret #2],” Kim says.

Her background as a fashion model is advantageous in her work as she is able to direct her subjects and create a comfortable, relaxed environment. Kim says, “A makeup artist once told me, ‘The art of movement in front of the camera has been lost.’ A lot of girls look at magazines and think it’s not very hard. They have no idea what is required to wearing a garment, the bodyline. Girls will get more inspiration from me because I know how to get them to emote. It’s like being a coach.”

Over the years, Kim has created a collection of photographs that not only focus on different cultures, but also capture an assortment of subject matter, including flowers, succulents, cars, oil rigs, animals and urban landscapes. Kim’s Native American series and photos of Escaramuzas, female horsemen in Hispanic history, are among her most culturally relevant.

Her method of translating her work from the camera to a digital environment where she uses image editing to perform darkroomtype manipulations makes her pieces almost instantly recognizable. Kim’s photos pulsate on the canvas because of the high-quality pigment ink printers she uses in her process.

Prints of her work can be purchased on her website and have also been featured and sold at various Pottery Barn and West Elm locations. “You must be a business person to be a successful artist. There is a commerciality to it. You must constantly keep yourself out there. So you have to make the time to create the work but also make the time to market your work,” Kim says.

Peter’s passion for the wilderness, horses and “the way of the cowboy” goes back to his earliest memories of his small ranch in Oklahoma. He grew up watching old Westerns such as “Bonanza” and “The Lone Ranger,” which only perpetuated his fascination with the romance of the West.

In the ’90s, Peter had the opportunity to photograph Tom Moorhouse, famous Texas cowboy and official manager of Tongue River Ranch in West Texas. Since then, he has ridden alongside cowboys throughout Wyoming, Texas and New Mexico. His goal over the last 15 years has been to communicate the cowboy story from the vantage point of a working cowhand.

Peter combines his photographs with oil pastels to embellish color and contrast. Each print is an original in that he cannot reproduce the painting exactly the same way. Peter prefers to work with a short lens because he likes to be close to his subjects.

Upcoming projects for the couple include a photographic collaboration ranch project in Cave Creek, Arizona. Peter has a few assignments in the Palo Duro Canyon area and in New Mexico, and Kim is producing work for An Artist Christmas event this month and is the feature artist, starting Dec. 10 through the holidays, at Pottery Barn in University Park Village.

Treating Breast Cancer While Protecting the Heart

Texas

Center for Proton Therapy is at the

forefront

of radiation therapy that reduces cardiac risks

IN BREAST CANCER TREATMENT, radiation oncologists increasingly aim to protect the heart from unnecessary radiation, and Dallas/Ft. Worth-based Texas Center for Proton Therapy finds its high-end technology well positioned for the trend.

The move toward avoiding exposing cardiac tissue to radiation is an evolution in care that can make a significant difference in women’s heart health later in life, explains Dr. Jared Sturgeon, a radiation oncologist at Texas Center for Proton Therapy. “Excess radiation can damage several critical areas of the heart, which can lead to a higher risk of coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction and heart failure,” he says.

With the most advanced proton therapy in the state, the Center provides an excellent option for protecting women’s hearts, Dr. Sturgeon says. “Our technology is especially suited to concentrating treatment on the target tissue and avoiding the heart and lungs,” he says. “Proton therapy uses a focused beam only a few millimeters wide to precisely ‘paint’ the target with therapeutic proton radiation, minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissue.”

In fact, proton therapy consistently demonstrates the lowest average dose to the heart in treatments of the breast, the chest wall and nearby lymph nodes, according to a major study by University of Oxford researchers

published in the November 2015 International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.

Advanced targeting technology is also crucial for avoiding needless irradiation of the heart at Texas Center for Proton Therapy. “With its pinpoint accuracy, our proton beam treats tumors layer by layer, in three dimensions,” Dr. Sturgeon says. “With our advanced technology, we can also ensure that the proton beam doesn’t exit the body through tissue that shouldn’t be exposed to radiation.”

Additionally, the Center’s cone-beam CT image guidance system provides clinicians a three-dimensional view of a patient’s anatomy, allowing them to develop a tailored approach. Using the CT imaging scans, the Center’s physicists, dosimetrists (who calculate radiation doses) and radiation oncologists program the proton beam equipment to deliver the optimal dose to each target tissue, even if it’s irregularly shaped.

While the field of oncology continues shaving down cardiac risks related to breast cancer treatment, Texas Center for Proton Therapy plans to keep getting the most out of its considerable technology and expertise. “We’re dedicated to providing our patients the best possible treatment for their immediate needs and for years to come,” Dr. Sturgeon says.

Fall Beauty

Fall is one of the best times to try something new, and the easiest path to get there is a few modiﬁcations to your makeup routine.

| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |

The power of makeup is most impressive in its ability to transform. After speaking to local makeup experts and scrolling through the perfectly curated pages of our favorite celebrities, fashion influencers and bloggers, we were inspired to get in front of a mirror and try out seasonal trends such as a burgundy lip, metallic lids, bold brows and monochromatic techniques. Put your best face forward with these products this season.

1. Tarte Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Contour Concealer, $27, Ulta Every gal has her secrets, and this double-duty concealer helps her keep them. The hydrating, longwearing formula delivers natural, radiant coverage across all skin types so you can instantly brighten and cover acne, dark circles and redness while softening the look of pores and fine lines.

2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $23, Sephora Lash maximalism rocked the runway this season think doll-like, ’60s-inspired eyes. It's all about the thick eyelashes on both top and bottom and eye-popping eyeliner. The Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara is intensely black and volumizing with an hourglass-shaped brush that separates, coats and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection. The brush was designed with extrastiff bristles to maximize the performance of this carbon black, collagen-fueled formula, and a film-forming polymer provides smudge-proof, all-day wear.

3. NARS Audacious Lipstick in Bette, $32, Sephora While a traditional red lip is still trending, a great alternative is burgundy, which adds a mysterious edge to your fall look. NARS Audacious lipsticks are something of a gem among the lipstick-obsessed. If you should get any color though, let it be this delightfully dark Bette.

Gluten-Free Cornbread Stufﬁng

fwliving cooking

‘TIS THE SEASON FOR ALL THINGS DELICIOUS AND DECADENT,

but if you have special dietary needs, ‘tis also the season for panicking about ingredients. The truth is that warm buttery rolls and grandma’s famous stuﬃng are not on the menu for 3.1 million Americans who eat gluten-free or have some other kind of intolerance, food allergy or health condition that restricts their diet. These holiday dishes put a healthy twist on the usually decadent.

GLUTEN-FREE CORNBREAD STUFFING

Serves: 4-6

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

• 8 slices toasted gluten-free white bread, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 5 cups gluten-free cornbread (you can buy a mix), crumbled

• 8 tablespoons butter or substitute

• 2 cups celery, chopped

• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 7 cups gluten-free chicken stock

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon sage

• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

• 5 eggs, beaten

• 4-ounce can chopped pickled jalapeños (optional)

• 1 pound cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread

and toasted white bread slices, and set aside.

3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, onion and garlic and cook until transparent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

4. Pour the vegetable mixture over cornbread mixture.

5. Add the stock, mix well, taste, and add salt, pepper to taste, sage, and poultry seasoning.

6. Add beaten eggs, sausage (if using) and jalapeños (if using) and mix well.

7. Pour mixture into a greased pan and bake until dressing is cooked through, about 45 minutes.

GLUTEN- AND DAIRY-FREE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Makes: 6-8

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

• Olive oil

• 1 pound button mushrooms

• 6 tablespoons dairy-free butter

• 2 cups gluten-free chicken or veg-

etable broth

• 2 cups dairy-free milk

• 6 tablespoons gluten-free flour

• 1 teaspoon dry mustard

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• Cayenne pepper (optional)

• Salt and pepper

• 1 3/4 – 2 pounds fresh green beans, cleaned and cut into 2-inch pieces

• 1 tablespoon wheat-free soy sauce

1. Prepare the gluten-free french-fried onions ﬁrst (see recipe below). Then preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. Sauté mushrooms in olive oil and set aside.

3. Prepare cream of mushroom soup by melting the butter in a large saucepan, and once the butter starts to bubble, add ﬂour. Add spices: dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Once the roux has cooked/ bubbled for a few minutes, add milk and chicken/vegetable broth. Whisk until the sauce thickens. Once the sauce has thickened, add the mushrooms back in.

4. Cook green beans for 4-5 minutes until bright green. Strain the water from the green beans and add to saucepan with soup. Stir in soy sauce. Pour into a casserole dish. Top with the french-fried onions. Bake for about 35 minutes at 350 F or until bubbly.

GLUTEN-FREE FRENCH-FRIED ONIONS

Makes: 2 cups

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 2-3 minutes

• 2-3 big sweet onions

• 1/2 cup tapioca flour

• 1/2 cup rice flour

• 1/2 cup soy flour

• Enough milk for soaking onions

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Oil for frying (coconut or sunflower oil)

1. Combine the ﬂours in a medium bowl and add the blended ﬂours, salt and pepper into a Ziploc bag.

2. Slice the onions and separate into rings.

4. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Oil should be about an inch deep. When the oil is hot enough, a ﬂick of water will make the oil sizzle.

5. Soak the onions in milk for a few minutes.

6. Dredge the onions in the gluten-free ﬂour. Give

Gluten-Free Cornbread Stufﬁng

Gluten-Free FrenchFried Onions

them a good coating of ﬂour.

7. Place the onions in the frying pan with the heated oil.

8. When the onions start to ﬂoat to the top, turn them over and cook until just golden brown. Remove from pan and let cool.

NO-FAIL, GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Makes: 2 pie crusts

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Chill Time: 48 hours

• 2 1/2 cups (11.5 ounces) gluten-free all-purpose flour, plus more to roll it out with

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon sugar (can use coconut palm sugar, stevia or maple syrup)

• 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted, good quality butter or Spectrum shortening cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

• 1/3 - 1/2 cup cold water

1. Put the ﬂour, sea salt and sugar, if using, in a food processor and pulse to combine or stir by hand.

2. Sprinkle the cold butter or shortening over the ﬂour in the food processor or in your bowl and use a pastry cutter. Pulse until the mixture looks crumbly with larger, pea-sized chunks of butter. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over top.

3. Turn the machine on and immediately start drizzling cold water through the feed tube or cut into your mixture in your bowl. Stop the machine once the mixture starts to come together or stop cutting in the ingredients. Stop and pinch the dough. If it sticks together, then stop. If it falls apart, then add a bit more water. Continuing this process.

4. Transfer the dough to a lightly ﬂoured surface and shape it into a ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and form each into a ﬂat disc. Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes or for up to two days. (The wrapped discs can be placed in zip-top freezer bags and frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.)

5. If the dough has been in the fridge for several hours, let it sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 10-20 minutes. Roll it out on a lightly ﬂoured piece of parchment paper. If the dough immediately starts to crack once you start rolling, it’s too cold. Let it rest a few minutes to warm up. If the edges crack as you roll, then simply press together as needed. Use with your favorite pie recipe.

best new restaurants

Two years since

our

last iteration of this muchanticipated list, we make a case for 15 new contenders.

JUST THE OTHER DAY, I RECEIVED A SEEMINGLY SIMPLE QUESTION ON FACEBOOK. "Hey, where should I take my wife for our anniversary? I'd like to try a new place." As a longtime restaurant reporter and reviewer, people have come to rely on me for such valuable insight — or at least this dude has.

As I began to type "Istanbul Grill" — a personal fave that often pops into my mind when I think of new night-on-the-town dining spots — I thought, well, maybe they'd like that new charcuterie place. I typed: "You gotta try this place called...." Oh, you know what, I thought to myself, hitting the delete button, he should take her to that new restaurant in … and before I could start typing out my third suggestion, I realized my mind was racing. "Where should I eat?" is now ofﬁcially the hardest question to answer in Fort Worth.

I can't think of another time when so many exceptional new restaurants have opened in and around Fort Worth. Part of the surplus, of course, comes from new development. For the past several years, our city has been one big

hard-hat area, with new developments springing up left and right, north and south, new restaurants in tow. Other restaurants have simply replaced old ones, popping up because someone had a dream and some cash. As such, our dining options have dizzyingly multiplied.

Which leads to this Best New Restaurants list, an ode to our city's newest, best and brightest. Reﬂecting Fort Worth's full-speed-ahead attitude toward new ideas as well as our city's unbreakable love for the traditional, picks range from a thrilling Italian restaurant whose ethos goes against the grain of every other Italian restaurant in this city, to a hip fried chicken emporium, to a Cuban café housed in a strip mall.

First, a note: This list spans restaurants that opened between summer 2015 and summer 2017, meaning the avalanche of recent arrivals — such as Hopdoddy and Rise No. 3 – aren't eligible for best-of consideration until the next list, in 2019.

Here, then, in no particular order, are the best restaurants to open over the past two years. Dig in, y'all.

Piattello Italian Kitchen

try this: Tagliatelle Bolognese

The best restaurant to open in Fort Worth over the past two years, Marcus Paslay's take on an Italian restaurant deﬁes what most of us have been taught about Italian restaurants. At Piattello, opened in January in the Waterside development, you won't ﬁnd big plates of lasagna coated in red sauce, or pepperoni pizza, or a dimly lit dining room, or music from "The Godfather" wafting in the background.

"That's exactly what we didn't want to do," says Paslay. "I didn't want to do a red sauce joint that served boxed pasta in your stereotypical Italian restaurant atmosphere. I wanted to raise the bar."

Paslay did just that, assembling a dream team of North Texas chefs — executive chef Scott Lewis (from Dallas' acclaimed Sprezza) and sous-chefs Bria Downey (Meddlesome Moth, Bird Café) and Jen Williams (Lucia, Magnolia Cheese Company) — to employ the same from-scratch philosophy he utilizes at his other restaurant, the upscale American spot Clay Pigeon. (Williams has since left the restaurant; line cook Alex Drury was promoted to sous-chef.)

Piattello's key dishes — the half-dozen varieties of pasta, such as the must-trys like Tagliatelle Bolognese or Spaghetti Pomodoro — are made in-house, a rarity in Fort Worth. "Making your own pasta, it's a grueling, time-consuming process," Paslay says. "But it makes all the difference in the world. Fresh versus boxed, there's no competition."

Likewise, salads are composed of ridiculously fresh ingredients. The restaurant's chopped salad, topped with salami and radicchio, is one of the most popular items on the menu. "Salads are the best examples of how simple quality ingredients can make a great dish," Paslay says.

The dining room, too, goes against the grain of your average Italian restaurant. No low lights or dark color schemes. Instead, you sit in a large, open dining room, brightly colored and energetic, or on the attractive patio. A table in the dining room affords a view of the open kitchen, a show unto itself.

"A lot of people love watching Scott and his crew at work," Paslay says. "Watching your pizza or pasta get made, it's something else you don't see a lot of in Fort Worth. It's one of the other things that makes us unique."

Havana Bar & Grill try this: paella

Much of Arlington's new-restaurant action over the past two years has taken place in an innocuous strip mall just north of the Parks Mall. There, within feet of one another, several of the area's best ethnic restaurants have opened, from Ahi Poke Bowl (North Texas' ﬁrst restaurant devoted to the Hawaiian raw ﬁsh bowls), to Puerto Rican hotspot El Mofongo, to this gateway to spectacular Cuban cuisine. Opened last winter, Havana Bar & Grill comes from good pedigree, as it's owned and managed by a trio of Cuban emigres. In the kitchen is executive chef Miguel Mendez, who adheres to classics as much as he toys with them. His paella, in particular, nails every ingredient: rich lobster, plump shrimp and soft scallops all swim in a fragrant, addicting stew of tomatoes, rice, onions and green olives; it's his spin on the traditional Spanish version. Elsewhere on the menu, bistec de palomilla will beckon to meat-lovers. The thin steak, shrouded in sautéed onions, is so tender, a baby could slice it. Squiggly fried plantains are the must-get side, if only to drink — I mean sample — the accompanying cilantro garlic sauce. No, I take that back. I mean drink.

Tokyo Café

Try this: bao buns

The second coming of Mary and Jarry Ho’s Tokyo Café was not so much a reopening as it was a rebirth. A fire in 2014 laid to waste the west side restaurant, a staple of the Camp Bowie area for 17 years (Jarry's parents opened the original in 1997). “It was a horrible experience, for sure,” says executive chef Kevin Martinez. “We basically had to start over. But things had changed so much culinarywise in Fort Worth since the fire. So many new places had opened. We knew we had to come back better than before.” When it reopened in late 2016, diners were greeted with a bright, airy dining room, decorated with custom-made, cool paper lanterns, and a revised menu that featured updated riffs on Tokyo Café classics. New kinds of sushi, ramen and rice bowls sat side by side with new offerings, including a rotating selection of bao buns, soft, steamed buns filled with pork belly, chicken and other meats. Martinez says to expect more additions soon. He recently took a long trip to Japan, where he picked up a few ideas for new dishes.

Meso Maya try this: Budin Azteca

Forget that Meso Maya is an El Fenix spinoff. That'll just bring to mind cheese enchiladas and crispy beef tacos. New on Hulen Street, the Fort Worth location of this Dallas mini-chain is far removed from the world of typical Tex-Mex. The menu here, developed by chef Nico Sanchez (who cut his teeth in Dallas at Cuba Libre, The Porch and Hibiscus), focuses on interior Mexico dishes. Think of enchiladas draped in a chocolatetinged sweet mole sauce. Picture Budin Azteca, a lasagna-like dish layered in corn tortillas and red chile sauce and your choice of meat. Dream of washing it all down with a creamy avocado margarita, the restaurant's super-smooth (and super-potent) signature drink. Now imagine savoring these items in handsome booths and low lights and a classy, upscale environment. I repeat: Not your typical Tex-Mex experience.

Taste N See Chicken and Waffles

try this: Chicken & Blueberry Waffles

There aren't many guarantees in life, but here's one: You're bound to have a blast at Fort Worth's first official chicken and waffles restaurant. Tables are cramped together so you get to know your neighbors pretty quickly, gospel music — or a Cowboys game, whichever comes first — plays in the background, and everyone hunkers down on the restaurant's namesake sweet and savory dish, brought to life here on the south side by son-and-mom team DeMarcus Davis and Anita Wilcox.

A single order is big enough for two. Three large fried chicken wings crown each extrathick wafﬂe, twice the size of a Belgian. The wafﬂes, made in-house, come plain but can come jazzed up with extras — chocolate chips, blueberries, bacon or pecans.

Some restaurants that have jumped on the chicken-and-wafﬂes trend serve tenders; Taste N See’s version comes with

bone-in chicken wings, juicy and crusty and beautifully seasoned. They’re more difﬁcult to eat, but it makes for a more authentic experience, not to mention more complexity and ﬂavor. But for the bone-in-chickenchallenged, tenders are available.

Americado

try this: Spicy Rotisserie Chicken ed pork pulled straight from a rotating trompo. There's much to admire on the Sunday brunch menu, from the plentiful chilaquiles, topped with an irresistible verde sauce, to the churros stuffed with raspberry jam and cream cheese. A half-dozen housemade aguas frescas, in ﬂavors such as ginger mint pineapple, are a nice touch. For something with a bit more zing, you'll want a cucumber margarita or a "poptail," comprised of a popsicle dunked into a puree of strawberry and mango, tequila and club soda.

When this stylish Mexican restaurant opened earlier this year, in a sleek building towering over West Berry, hostesses should have passed out instructions instead of menus — the ordering system was so confounding. Inspired by Mexican food halls and markets, owners thought diners would be cool with ordering and paying for each item at a different food or drink station. This led to so much confusion, the concept was eventually axed in favor of table service at dinner and counter service at lunch. It's now a lot easier to enjoy the Mexico City-style cuisine.

Heim Barbecue

try this: bacon burnt ends

The runaway success of Travis and Emma Heim's barbecue joint on Magnolia Avenue — the ﬁrst in what will likely be many locations — could easily be attributed to being in the right place at the right time with the right food. Two years ago, the hip Near Southside area was in dire need of a cool barbecue joint, and here came the Heims, lugging a trailer, smokers and slabs of brisket and ribs. But they would have been longgone if they had lacked the know-how. They proved themselves quickly, selling sublime moist brisket, out-of-sight sides and those bacon burnt ends — can we just go ahead and name them the ofﬁcial dish of Fort Worth? — out of their original trailer. First, barbecue lovers lined up, then investors. In no time, the couple had on their hands a bricks-and-mortar, now possibly the city's most popular barbecue spot. Texas Monthly seriously boosted their cred this year, honoring them with a spot on the mag's Top 50 Best BBQ Joints, no small feat in a state with thousands of them. A second location will soon rise in the burgeoning River District, near White Settlement; something tells us this is just the beginning. 1109 W. Magnolia Ave. | heimbbq.com

Istanbul Grill

try this: hunkar begendi

Downtown lucked out by scoring a second location of this Arlington Mediterranean restaurant from owner Sam Sensel. Located on the bottom ﬂoor of the new Cassidy building in Sundance Square Plaza, the classy, upscale Fort Worth branch has everything the Arlington original has, including outstanding — and affordable — lunch specials that feature an app and entree for $12.95. Options include zucchini-feta pancakes, fried borek cheese pastries, gyros, housemade hummus and baba ghanoush. It gets better at dinner, when the menu expands to include less-common dishes such as hunkar begendi, lamb meat slow-simmered in a tomato sauce and served atop a blanket of pureed roasted eggplant.

Great Scott try this: charcuterie board

Grapevine needed another wine bar like Austin needs another barbecue joint. But the Scotts — married couple Matthew and Danielle — were determined to come up with a fresh idea to get a wine bar off the ground. After studying menus of surrounding restaurants, the couple found their niche: charcuterie. But not just planks of cured meats. They would build an entire menu — and an entire restaurant — around meat. Thus was born, in summer '16, their ﬁne-dining “meatery.”

You sip and linger here, at this former Carrera's restaurant, choosing glasses and bottles from Matthew's extensive wine list (he's a former wine director from Abacus) while putting together your charcuterie board; you have more than 20 meats and cheeses from which to choose. Meat is cured on-site. “We converted a walk-in freezer into a drying room for the charcuterie,” Danielle says. “Curing meats is very much a scientiﬁc process. You have to pay attention to and understand so many factors — the moisture level, the pH balance. It's intense but fun.” For heartier appetites, there are entrees and apps that utilize meat in inventive ways: a pizza smeared in bacon jam; pork belly lollipops, served with a side of orange-raisin habanero jelly; elk coated in an espresso rub. It's not all meat, mind you. Seafood, predominantly by-catch species from the Gulf of Mexico, and veggies plucked from an on-site garden are also prominently featured on the menu, whose dishes are ably carried out by notable Dallas chef Jermaine Brown.

Oni Ramen

try this: Reaper ramen, if you dare

Oni means "demon" in Japanese, and you'll swear you've bitten into one upon your first taste of Jesus Garcia's firebreathing Reaper ramen, a dish made for those who prefer their spice levels cranked up to 11. But rest assured: Garcia offers several types of the popular Japanese noodle soup at his swank ramen spot in Crockett Row at West 7th, and most do not require tongues of steel. The former Little Lilly Sushi chef spent two years in Seattle studying the art of ramen-making, an education you can taste within the depths and complexities of his housemade broths. The magnificently rich tonkotsu, a pork-on-pork soup featuring pork broth spiked with pork belly, is a good place for newcomers to start. Those who gravitate toward the light should happily slurp down the Assari, made with chicken broth and steamed greens. A full-on veggie option is comprised of a cabbage-soy broth topped with bean sprouts, greens, kernels of corn, green onions and wood ear. Non-soup options include excellent poke bowls, pork belly buns and terrific octopus-studded wheat balls known as takoyaki. Oni is one of the few restaurants on West 7th to stay open late. On Friday, it's open until 4 a.m. and on Saturday until 3 a.m. A second location recently opened in Dallas’ Deep Ellum. 2801 W. 7th St. | oniramen.com

Tuna Poke Bowl

the lady & the pit

try this: barbecue brisket, corn bread

From a distance, this repurposed Pizza Inn in the Handley area of the east side may seem to lack the usual chutzpah associated with our city's best dining options. Step inside, and it's a different story: "The Lady" of this soul-food house, owner Natasha Smith, or one of her employees, will greet you with a smile, a menu and a comfy booth or table, and you'll feel right at home. That's Smith's intent – to make you feel like you're not at a restaurant but at your own dining table, and your mom is in the kitchen, cooking your favorite dish. Here, that could mean any number of things: chicken-fried steak decked out in a king-size crust; meat loaf that heats up your mouth, then melts in it; barbecue brisket, lean and tender to the touch, smoked expertly by co-owner Kenneth Barton. Sides are made in-house, including the pillowy corn bread; if you're lucky,

you'll get a piece right out of the oven. Ask Smith about her recipes, handed down by family members, and she's both vague and sentimental: "Everything is seasoned with love," she'll laugh. And you'll have absolutely zero reason to doubt her. 2220 Handley Drive | facebook.com/LadyAndThePit

Good Food Co.

try this: Bacon Cheeseburger

This pindot of a spot on the east side specializes in frills-free, straightforward, good ol' fashion hamburgers — the kind you ate when you were a kid, before Rodeo Goat and Hopdoddy and jalapeño-infused/scratchmade/somethingorother mayo came along. “I love all the gourmet burgers in Fort Worth,” says cook and co-owner Evan Williams, who opened Good Food Co. this past spring with Juan Solis of Magnolia Avenue's Upper 90 and Tina’s Cocina. "But I felt like there were enough places doing those kinds of burgers, so we decided to go the old-school route, which is what we know and love."

The thin-patty burgers come topped with veggies, bacon and American cheese and, if you want to go wild, grilled mushrooms. It's the seasoning on the patties and killer thickcut fries — mum's the word on the recipes — that keep this shoebox-size space always full. "We weren't really sure how people were going to react to a place as simple as this," Williams says. "Was there still a place for oldschool burgers here? Yeah, most deﬁnitely." 2919 Race St. | facebook.com/goodfoodcom

Mughlai Fine Indian Cuisine

try this: aloo papri chaat

No slight to the mom and pop Indian restaurants that many of us cherish, but some choose to focus on the cuisine and not necessarily the atmosphere. Mughlai, which opened earlier this year in Southlake, pays so much attention to both, it spoils you; you want every Indian restaurant to be like this.

You dine under soft lighting and whitewashed wooden beams, at booths blanketed in tablecloths and accented with nice china and sparkling wine glasses. Unless you shoo them away, servers dote.

It’s hard to think of another local Indian restaurant with an atmosphere as alluring as this — except, of course, the original Mughlai in Dallas, opened six years ago by Sonia and Javeed Khan. The popularity of the Dallas store paved the way for a second venture, this one right around the corner from the family’s Southlake home.

Dishes are meant to be shared — a good idea since what you order will be as good as what your dining companions order. Without question, your meal should include the stunning aloo papri chaat, a concoction of soft, diced potatoes, tamarind chutney, chickpeas, yogurt and slivers of fried dough. The restaurant's signature dish is murgh tikka makhani, a creamy stew of chicken chunks, tomatoes and fenugreek; you'll ﬁght over the last drop. 3311 E State Highway 114, Southlake mughlaidfw.com

Gus's Fried Chicken

try this: fried chicken, with mac and cheese and sweet tea

Not even a year old, the Near Southside outpost of this Memphis-based paean to fried chicken has the power of a grizzled old vet like Paris Coffee Shop or Fred's Texas Cafe, bringing together all walks of Fort Worth life, from high-rollers to the downtrodden. Day after day they pour into the restaurant's hole-in-the-wall-like dining room for what is surely some of the best fried chicken in Fort Worth, served in the simplest of ways: on Styrofoam plates, atop a single piece of white bread, plastic silverware on the side. No need to compare the chicken to Babe's or Drew's; it's much different than either. Instead of a jagged, crusty batter, Gus's version — the recipe for which is guarded with "Mission: Impossible"-level security and dates back to more than six decades to the family's original chicken stand in Tennessee — is smooth, speckled with spices that give it a hearty kick but stop short of the heat level of Nashville hot chicken, which many initially thought the restaurant served. Paprika-dusted mac and cheese is the best of the sides. There's a small beer selection, but it's almost blasphemous to not drink sweet tea here. Also a necessity: a slice of sweet potato pie. 1067 W. Magnolia Ave. | gusfriedchicken.com

Cork & Pig Tavern

try this: So. Cal Pizza that's really missing from that area," he says. "There are a lot of chain restaurants and a lot of bars but very few neighborhood restaurants, places where servers remember your name and what you ordered last time you came in. That's what we're striving to become, that restaurant you visit on a regular basis." Parking, he stresses, isn't difﬁcult at C&P. "People sometimes forget there's valet parking, right in front of the restaurant," he says. "And it's free."

The unfortunate reality of a town with so many restaurants is that, sooner or later, some of them are going to close. The rapidity with which this happens in Fort Worth makes Felipe Armenta’s accomplishment sound all the more impossible: He has opened one, two, three, four restaurants, all within a few years and miles of one another, and all remain open. It's a feat unmatched by any other contemporary Fort Worth chef.

Two opened in 2016: Press Café on the Trinity River and Cork & Pig Tavern in the newly christened Crockett Row at West 7th development (Paciﬁc Table opened in 2013, and his ﬁrst restaurant, The Tavern, opened in 2010). Press Café has lovely riverside views going for it, but Cork & Pig — which took over a primo end-cap spot where AF+B once thrived — has the bigger, bolder menu and crazy-extensive wine list. In a way, it picks up where AF+B left off, offering tricked-out variations of American-food staples, like deviled eggs decorated with pancetta; pizzas topped with avocado and barbecue sauce; and a mac and cheese mash-up made of smoked gouda, goat cheese, sharp white cheddar and fontina.

Armenta sees C&P less as a piece in the West 7th puzzle and more as a standalone neighborhood restaurant. "That's something

The Colleyville Woman’s Club is on to something. Its signature Holiday Home Tour has played a pivotal role in helping the 200-member club raise more than $3.6 million in its 39 years. This year marks the 33rd annual event, where the public is invited to tour homes that are decked out for the holidays. The group gave Fort Worth Magazine a sneak peek of what to expect this season at the five homes in Colleyville and Southlake. It’s only November, but ’tis the season.

THE CARTER HOME

912 Winding Ridge Trail, Southlake

Michael and Emily Carter

Clean lines, light neutral colors, and a tasteful blend of modern and traditional define the French Provincial home of Emily and Michael Carter. Emily’s home is a spectacular example of her art. Soft colors dominate the main living area — pale pink, silver, mercury and white with pops of brilliant jewel tones. In the living room, the lavish décor on the mantel

highlights this scheme with blue and white, silver, soft pink and turquoise. Eighteen Snow Villages fill the huge kitchen island. They’re gifts from Emily’s parents for each year of their marriage. With trees in many rooms, this home is a Christmas aficionado’s dream. Home sponsor: Century 21 Judge Fite Company

THE TALLEY HOME

200 Capriole Court, Colleyville

Coy and Christina Talley

Both Christina and Coy Talley are practicing architects, a fact that’s reflected in the choices they have made in their holiday décor. Christina has incorporated rustic touches with natural elements and minimal colors, decorating in hues of silver, white and natural green with pops of red. Her dining room features twin trees wrapped in burlap and hung with silver and mercury glass. A 14-foot real tree dominates the twostory living room. Home sponsor: David Martin & Son Rooﬁng

The Carter Home

THE HOME OF DAN HOLMES AND ROXANN TAYLOR

1301 Regency Court, Southlake

When Roxann Taylor and Dan Holmes, with Engel & Völkers Real Estate, recreated their home, they spared no details. Not only is it a smart home, capable of being controlled from a cell phone, but it is light, white, open and welcoming. Walls of windows and a wall of doors, which Dan refers to as “the $$$$ door,” bring the outside in. Pops of brilliant bright blue cause a visitor’s eye to travel around the open space like a well-designed painting. The private areas of the home are similarly designed. Christmas décor will take its inspiration from a painting in the dining area. Home sponsor: Engel & Völkers, Roxann Taylor, Broker/Owner

THE CHATFIELD

HOME

6513 Champion Way, Colleyville

Dr. Richard and Carri Chatﬁeld

Community artist Carri Chatfield loves holidays — any holiday — and she decorates for all of them. But Christmas brings out her best and reflects her family’s passions. Carri claims she likes to turn “stuff” into art (note the breakfast room table made of old doors). A 14-foot tree dominates the foyer, candles glow everywhere, and the Kansas City Chiefs dominate a special upstairs tree. She favors traditional Christmas colors of red, green and gold but often departs with mixtures of metals — gold and silver. She and her husband, chiropractor Dr. Richard Chatfield, love to travel, illustrated by the art in their home, often street art purchased from all over the world. Home sponsor: Jason Ridley Agency –Nationwide.

THE CAMPBELL HOME

505 John McCain, Colleyville Bruce and Michelle Campbell

The French Provincial home of the Campbells is both elegant and warm. The formal areas have been decked out for the holiday in tones of gold, ivory,

champagne and white by the team of Kristen Bell and Chelsea Cardillo of Whitman Interiors, LLC. Pearls and feathers add to the huge living room tree. But the heart of family living in the rear of the home turns whimsical with Santas, candy canes and part of Michelle’s snowman collection. In yet another departure, an upstairs girl cave speaks of Michelle’s love for Veuve Clicquot and the fun to be had in this part of the home. Home sponsor: Whitman Interiors, LLC.

Build the Perfect Cheese and Charcuterie Board

Cheese and charcuterie boards at parties might look effortless — and if so, that means your host or hostess has done it just right. But, in reality, a lot of work goes into creating the perfect cheese board. Here, the anatomy of it all.

Every good cheeseboard will have at least one of the following categories:

One type of blue cheese like a Gorgonzola or Maytag

A soft cheese. Think a Boursin or goat cheese

A firm aged cheese. Think Parmesan or Asiago

A familiar cheese like a cheddar

And, of course, a soft cheese like a brie or Camembert

Non-cheese components:

1. Crackers and bread Long, large crackers can be broken up and placed on the board in a very organic way. A sliced loaf of rustic bread (not toasted so that it stays soft) is perfect for slathering on cheeses and piling high with meats.

2. Fruit Fruit acts as a palate cleanser between salty bites. Grapes, apples, pears and figs are all good options. Melons like cantaloupe and honeydew can be sliced and wrapped with prosciutto for a mouthwatering bite.

3. Charcuterie Vary presliced in the package with some whole cured sausage. As with the cheeses, make sure to vary the meats that you choose. Know nothing about charcuterie? No problem. Just make sure that they look a little bit different. That means that they have likely been

cured with different spices.

4. A salty component Caper berries are a must, and olives, cornichons and tapenades are a nice addition. You could even go with a salty cured fish like oil-packed anchovies.

5. Condiments A spicy mustard and a rich olive oil with fresh herbs are the perfect choices for dipping and spreading.

6. Extras Adding a cooked element, like roasted garlic, to your board is an excellent addition and always very popular. Other cooked additions could be a spicy, toasted nut mix fresh from the oven.

7. Sweets Always make sure to have honey, and it’s best with the honeycomb. Preserves, like a fig and orange preserve or even a sweet chutney, look beautiful.

Plating tips

1. Try not to shove everything on one board; instead, use a variety of platters. Use everything from servers to regular dinner plates to wood boards to marble.

2. Throw in some decorative china to mix it up and keep it looking interesting.

3. Try to make each plate that you are creating its own little story. Try to have at least a bit of fruit, cheese and meat on each platter.

Arrange a Tablescape

Lottie Fowler, owner of the local wedding planning and design boutique Grit + Gold, designed a rustic holiday tablescape for party-planning inspiration and shared her top tips for creating a flawless table at home.

Are flowers a must for every tablescape?

I really don’t think you necessarily have to have floral if it’s a holiday party. I personally like tons of candles to make a bold statement, so it’s kind of either/or. You can also nix candles for lots of flowers.

How formal should you go with flatware?

I think the flatware

depends on family and tradition. We are really traditional in our family, so we do a full setting. Bread and butter plate, bread knife. I love a full setting.

If you plan on assigned seating, where should you place guests?

If you’re hosting a party where people don’t know each other, it’s nice to purposely intermingle

them so that they have forced conversation and create new relationships.

Where do you shop for decor for your tablescapes? I love World Market for dinnerware, and now Fort Worth has a West Elm. That’s awesome. I kind of pick and choose what I want from each place so that I have a really unique table.

step-by-step

Step 1. Start with fabric. Make that decision upfront. Steam it if necessary and then lay it out on the table.

Step 2. Next, start on the outside and work toward the center to allow for space. Choose plates. This will help you judge how big floral needs to be.

Step 3. Set napkins on top of plates.

Step 4. Set flatware.

Step 5. Now, it’s time for candles.

Step 6. Place floral.

Step 7. Place glassware. If you’re forgoing flowers, that allows enough space for a full glassware setting.

Step 8. Place escort cards.

“Anybody should be able to go to their cabinet and pull out six white dinner plates and pair them with clippings from the yard. That’s a table that people can relate to,”

photography

Jill Broussard

“I always pair expensive items with inexpensive items to give it a more organic look. On top is a really expensive silk and willow runner, but underneath is a cheap muslin material from Hobby Lobby. Take a really expensive salad plate on top of a basic dinner plate.”

“I like natural elements. I’m never going to be designing with everything that ’s over the top. Just add touches of high-end products.”

“Napkins can look a variety of ways. You can do a waterfall that goes over the edge of the table. This one I call a ‘modern fold.’ ”

“I love tapers. They ’re really popular right now, and it ’s kind of a throwback look that a lot of people used to use back in the day.”

“I’m a huge fan of escort cards even if it ’s just family. Everybody likes to have their place. It makes them feel special.”

Create a Floral arrangement

Briley Studdard, owner of Oh Deery Floral, regularly makes flower design look easy with her unstructured designs that are literally bursting with color, texture and natural elements. Here she shares her steps to her perfectly imperfect arrangements. But, first things first. She says, “Before anything, consider your color palette. Something I do when I go to the wholesale market is grab things in the color family that I’m working in and put them on a shelf together. Look at them in a big bunch.”

Now onto process and prep.

Process and prep the flower. This includes taking leaves off of the stems. Flowers will last longer if you don’t have any leaves touching the water. Cut all of the ends of the flowers at a severe angle. Take thorns off the roses.

1. Start with oasis foam held down in the vase with oasis tape. (Inside secret: Briley used a vase from Target.) Place greens like this autumn eucalyptus. This builds the base and establishes your shape.

4. Use a cheaper base flower that covers the bottom and adds another color like carnations. Cut the stems at varying heights, and layer the flowers to create more depth. I do one really low and one right above that ’s higher. That ’s how flowers grow in nature, so it looks a little more natural.

2. Add to your base. Snow berries give more structure with a wooden stem. I like to cluster things because it will look more like foliage does in nature.

5. Place a focal flower like this café au lait dahlia. This adds on weight to the arrangement and draws your eye in. I like to have a star-shaped flower. If everything is round, it will look stiff. 6. Add texture. This is brown amaranthus. This adds a fall feel with a golden color.

3. Add a base cover like sedum. This covers the foam so no one can see it. I usually use a bulkier and cheaper flower for this. This goes really low in the arrangement.

7. Finish with a floating flower coming up above the arrangement. This makes it look wider and like it has more movement. Every organic style arrangement should have a floating flower. This scabiosa repeats some of the other colors in the arrangement.

Style a Bar Cart

We asked prop stylist Katie RyanLopez for a few tips on how to keep a bar or a bar cart looking pictureperfect for your holiday party.

What “extras” can really make a bar look special? Add a candle for some warmth or touches of holiday decor. Festive straws and cocktail napkins can set the color story or theme for the evening.

How do you stock a bar well without making it look too cluttered? If you’re using a bar cart, line up your bottles and mixers on the bottom shelf to make it approachable and easy to find what you're looking for. That way, your specialty items can shine on the top.

What’s an attractive way to stock sodas and cokes without having a bunch of cans around?

Purchase the mini-size cans or bottles and arrange them in straight lines for a graphic and organized feel.

Where is the best place to shop for bar cart extras? I love to go to Crate & Barrel for current "on trend" items.

Unique Local Rental Resource: BerryPom & James. This online party boutique carries modern and whimsical decor options not found at big box party stores. The local owner started the shop after ﬁnding it challenging to source good decor options for her son’s birthday party. Items include paper goods, hanging decor, tabletop accessories and gifts. berrypomandjames.com

curate a party playlist

Plan, plan, plan and don’t just put your iPhone on the speaker on shuffle. You don’t want that Sesame Street song you have saved for your kid’s breakdowns to ruin the whole vibe of your adult party.

Plan for four hours of music. That way no songs will repeat.

Don’t play music too loud. You don’t want guests yelling during conversations. Consider your space when setting the volume. If you have concrete

floors and empty walls, there’s nothing to absorb the loud music.

Mix it up: Combine classics with chart toppers. Hip hop with jazz. Weave genres throughout the list so the music never gets stale.

Mix holiday music with regular music. That way no one will get tired of four hours of Christmas songs, but you’ll still add a festive touch to your party.

Throw in some local artists.

We asked the organizers of Fortress Festival, the local music festival that launched in the Cultural District in 2017, to curate their perfect party playlist. See what the team Texas Monthly refers to as “arbiters of taste” put on their holiday party playlist.

Nothing says holiday specialty cocktail like a warm drink. And nothing says easy like a slow-cooker. This simple recipe uses both.

SERVES: 6

1 bottle of red wine that’s fruity but not too sweet: Merlot, Zinfandel, or Cabernet Sauvignon

2 cups apple cider

1/4 cup honey

1 orange, zested and juiced

5 whole cloves (can be purchased in the spice aisle)

4 green cardamom pods

2 cinnamon sticks

1 whole star anise (the fruit of a small oriental tree)

1/4 cup brandy

Orange slices, for garnish Cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Add wine, cider, honey, orange zest and orange juice to a large slow cooker. Stir to combine. Add the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and star anise. Cook on low until warm, 30 minutes to one hour, depending on your slow cooker. Stir in the brandy. Ladle into mugs and serve with an orange slice and cinnamon sticks. To keep the wine warm, leave the slow cooker on the “keep warm” setting. If your slow cooker does not have a warm setting, alternate between “low” and “off.” Recipe adapted from Erin Clarke/Well Plated (wellplated.com)

Purple With a Purpose

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, and one organization is celebrating 25 years of walking to help ﬁnd a cure.

| by Meg Hemmerle |

SINCE PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN NAMED NOVEMBER

NATIONAL ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH IN 1983, the number of people living with the disease has doubled to 5 million and still no cure has been found.

The Alzheimer’s Association, however, is still working to find one. This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, hosted by the association. Over 600 different communities across the nation host their own walks. The Fort Worth walk, a 3-mile route, took place at Panther Island Pavilion on Oct. 28.

The walk’s main purpose is to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research, care and support. Since there is no registration fee to participate in the walk, all the money is raised through personal donations, sponsorships and team fundraising. This year, Fort Worth’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s fundraising goal was

$400,000. At press time, the total funds raised was not yet known. The money raised from the walk is divided, with 79 percent going to support Alzheimer’s care, research, support, awareness and advocacy; 15 percent going to fundraising; and the last 6 percent going to administrative costs.

One of the most meaningful aspects of the walk is the Promise Garden, which is meant to remind participants of their promise to remember, honor, care and fight for those with Alzheimer’s. Every participant is given a flower to walk with and place in the Promise Garden. They are encouraged to write a personal message on it and share their story. The color of the flower represents different connections to the disease. For example, a yellow flower represents having a loved one with Alzheimer’s. Purple represents having lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s.

One of the event’s top fundraisers is TCU sorority Sigma Kappa. Member Erin Wilson says seeing the Promise Garden is one of the most moving moments of the event.

“It just reminds you of why you put in the hard work to fundraise and are out walking,” Wilson said. “I’m fortunate enough that I haven’t personally known anyone who has suffered through Alzheimer’s, but through the walk, I’ve seen how it has affected so many other people. I’ve also seen how the walk brings people together and can be uplifting.”

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., killing more than breast and prostate cancer combined. Alzheimer’s is also the most costly disease in America to have.

If You Build It

The Parenting Center readies for renovations to its faci

| by Samantha Calimbahin |

WITH 2017 COMING TO A CLOSE, LOCAL FAMILY SERVICES ORGANIZATION THE PARENTING CENTER HAS ITS SIGHTS SET ON CHANGES IN THE UPCOMING YEAR — ONE OF WHICH IS A NEWLY RENOVATED FACILITY.

The organization hopes to begin renovations to its 11,547-square-foot building at 2928 West Fifth St. in 2018, assuming funding needs are met. According to development director Courtney Leaverton, The Parenting Center has reached about 70 percent of its goal of entirely funding the project. At press time, the organization had about $400,000 left to raise.

The renovation is an effort to make the center look more inviting, opting for the look of a “residential retreat” with a modern interior and pops of color through cool blues, orange, yellow and green — nods to The Parenting Center logo.

It’s part of the organization’s overall

strategic plan, which The Parenting Center board of directors adopted back in January. Other plans are to expand curricula, diversify funding strategies and expand the organization’s physical presence in other communities.

The Parenting Center has been around since 1975 and continues to offer parenting skills classes and clinical counseling services for families in an effort to end child abuse and neglect. The organization sees about 14,000 to 18,000 clients each year.

The Parenting Center’s annual Feast in the Fort, a fundraising event featuring music by Cory Morrow, takes place Nov. 2 at River Ranch Stockyards.

More information on Feast in the Fort and The Parenting Center can be found at theparentingcenter.org.

A Rose by Any Other Name

As sweet as “65 Roses” may sound, the meaning behind the phrase is less than ideal.

| by Meg Hemmerle

THE NORTHWEST TEXAS CHAPTER OF THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION HELD TWO FUNDRAISERS FOR 65 ROSES IN OCTOBER — THE 65 ROSES CLAY SHOOT ON OCT. 13 AND 65 ROSES WINE AND FOOD EXTRAVAGANZA ON OCT. 18.

The first event was held at the Walsh Ranch in Aledo, which featured a clay shoot followed by a cocktail party. This year, the 18th annual 65 Roses Wine and Food Extravaganza took place at MOPAC Event Center. Eight different restaurants and chefs participated, including Bonnell’s and Reservoir.

The term “65 roses” has been used since 1956 by children with cystic fibrosis to describe their condition, a phrase easier to pronounce than the name of the disease itself. When the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation started in 1955, most children with the disease did not survive past elementary school. Now, with the foundation's research and help, people are living well into their 40s.

You can still get involved with the Northwest Texas Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through donations, advocacy, or participating in other fundraising events. Visit cff. org for more info.

Savannah Moody

Local Golf Phenom

| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |

MOVE OVER ANNIKA SORENSTAM AND MICHELLE

WIE. Savannah Moody, 21, has found her swing and is on course to become the next big thing to hit women’s golf. As an Aledo High School student, Moody competed in 75 tournaments, claiming 16 championships and 31 top-10 ﬁnishes. She won four all-district titles and is a two-time second team all-region winner. Moody followed that up with a national championship and All-American season with Oklahoma City University, where she received a full scholarship.

Her latest triumph was making the cut at the Texas Women’s Open at Rolling Hills Country Club in Arlington last July. Played from 1935-1955, the Women’s Texas Open was held at River Crest Country Club for 13 years and four years at Colonial Country Club. The event was revived in 2001 by the Northern Texas PGA to promote the game to female golfers throughout the region, and the name was changed to the Texas Women's Open.

After making par on each of the first four holes, Moody scored a birdie on the next four. “I’ve never had four birdies in a row. I knew it was going to be a great day,” Moody says.

She did all of this with her caddie/father, Jim, by her side. “My dad comes to every single tournament. During the summer, we are allowed to have a caddie. There has never been a question of who that would be. It’s a special bonding time for us. He got me into golf and taught me everything about it. My father is the hardest worker I know, and he inspires me to be the best I can be in all aspects of my life,” Moody says.

It was long before high school that Moody set foot on a fairway. “I started playing when I was very young, and I hated it at first. I would tag along with my dad because I thought it was sad that he had to go alone. As I played more and got better, I started to love golf,” she says.

In the beginning, Moody’s mother, Amy, knew nothing about the sport. “Now my mom is kind of a golf genius. It

makes me smile when she tells me how I did or what I did wrong. She comes to every tournament and cheers me on regardless of how I did. She’s there with a smile and a hug, no matter what,” Moody says.

Moody says that there is one thing she consistently does during a round: “All golfers use ball markers, which they usually keep on their hats. I use a favorite ring that I wear. I’ve never used a ball marker.”

Moody has an adventurous spirit which has led her to travel, and she is deeply involved with her church. Moody said, “This past summer I was a leader on our mission trip to El Salvador, where we introduced more than 800 children to Christ. I was able to share this experience with my little sister, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”

Currently Moody is focusing on the two tournaments left in the season. She hopes to win the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Women’s Golf Championship in the spring to put the cherry on top of her senior year. In May she graduates with a degree in psychology and has plans of getting her master’s and doctorate degrees in clinical psychology, but she is determined to become a professional golfer. “Going into college, it wasn’t even something I had considered. But I have continued to improve, both in my physical hitting and my mental game, so now a professional career is something I will pursue for as long as it takes,” Moody said.

She hit her first milestone toward that goal just before this magazine went to press, when Jimmy Dubose, chairman of Colonial Savings, signed on to sponsor Moody to start her professional career.

Party Guide Remix

| by Heywood | illustration by Charles Marsh |

WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON APPROACHING, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH EXPECT A MULTITUDE OF HOLIDAY PARTIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

Now, a number of these parties can be pretty lavish, and there could be a great deal of expense involved. So I've decided to put together a holiday party guide for a group of people who'd like to try having a little get together, but have little experience in entertaining guests, and whose party budgets are about the same as their bowling average.

People that fall into this category are generally known as bachelors. I happen to also fall into that category, so I did a little research and read a few articles from some of the experts on the subject, including Martha Stewart. I've been able to come up with a few tips that should help you guys hosting your first party have a stress-free experience.

First, you need to pick a party theme. But it doesn't necessarily have to be a Christmas or costume party. The past three years, I've been invited to bring a date to a friend's costume party, where ev-

eryone always has to come as a celebrity couple. I saved some money because we always came as the same lovable couple and were able to wear the same costumes each year. Fortunately, nobody noticed. But this year I had to decline because I was going to have to buy new costumes and go with my date as a different celebrity couple. Why? Well, I know it's still hard to believe, but Anthony and Huma are no longer together.

But what you may not know is that every day of the year commemorates something, and a holiday party could be tied to one of them. For instance, during the holiday season we pay tribute to World Toilet Day and Global Handwashing Day. I'm not making that up. We also celebrate World Vegetarian Day. If you decide to go that route, let me share an inexpensive recipe that would be perfect for that type of party and take less than minutes to prepare. It's basically a vegan smoothie. Take a handful of bean sprouts, parsley, broccoli, gluten-free ginger snaps, four cubes of ice and blend them together in the garbage disposal. Why? Because you're probably not a vegan, don't know a vegan, so nobody's going to show up anyway. Seriously, I do think there are several good things about being a vegan. One of them is never having to ask, "Who ate my kale?”

Okay, once you decide to have a party, you really have to tidy up the place, particularly

the bathrooms. They can't look like Chewbacca showers there. And make your bed, no matter how many years it's been. Martha Stewart then says you have to decide whether you're going to have a sit-down dinner or a cocktail party. Now, most bachelors will rule out a sit-down dinner because most of their places only have about three places to sit, if you include the kitchen counter. And although some bachelors are good cooks, I'm definitely not one of them. I learned two important lessons the very first time I ever tried to cook: 1. Remove the batteries from all the smoke detectors. 2. Salad should never catch fire. That's why most of us opt for a cocktail party. Just make sure the liquor cabinets and pantry are well-stocked. You should also have plenty of room in the refrigerator for beer, because if you're like me, about all that's in there now is a large jar of mustard, a couple of week-old Whataburger sacks and an old half-empty bottle of wine. I'm still not sure what kind it is because the label has already worn off. However, if despair and misery had a flavor, this would be it.

You should also always include hors d’oeuvres. Guests need something to nibble on during a cocktail party, but the good news is they don't have to be expensive. Mine certainly aren't. The only tough part was getting the toothpicks into the bacon-wrapped M&Ms. Experts also say you should create comfort with joyful sounds. I'm not quite sure how to do that, but it's supposed to put the guests that have not already stormed out in a more festive mood. One last thing. The entire purpose of a holiday party is to have fun, but your guests need to know when it's time to leave. But try to be subtle about it, and come up with a plan. For instance, I've got a piano in the living room, but I only play it when I'm trying to get on somebody's nerves. Works every time. Sometimes the best joyful sounds are none at all. Happy holidays.

The diagnosis is just the beginning of a very long journey for many cancer patients. Our goal is to save lives and stay involved, helping and supporting patients through their journey, giving families hope and keeping them focused on healing.

CAREITY BEGINS AT HOME

W

E K E E P I T L O C A L

Many of our days begin by answering a frantic cry for help. You know the type of call, from somebody whose bad news is fresh and the worry is raw. These are desperate conversations that begin, “I’ve found a lump in my breast! Where can I get a mammogram as soon as possible?”

The callers – often people of little means, young single mothers with children, people who seemed perfectly healthy yesterday – have found us and need informed answers right away. Just as important, they need the compassionate ear of somebody who understands. They need Careity.

With each call, we join another journey as conﬁdant, encourager, guide and source of hands-on assistance. They don’t yet know that they need a different kind of mammogram than the routine screening, a diagnostic type that requires a doctor’s orders. “Doctor’s orders? No, we don’t have that!” they say. “And we can’t afford a doctor anyway. Can you still help us?”

In those cases we move to the next step. We gather details and initiate a process with our trusted network of physicians that leads to an appointment, usually within 24 hours. By day’s end, another frantic cry for help has turned in to words of encouragement and a path forward. Another urgent “Help me” has become a hope-ﬁlled “Thank you.”

Some patients require a biopsy – another step, another cry for help. Unfortunately, some biopsies lead to a cancer diagnosis. Even then, Careity stays involved. Our social workers help them through the maze of uncertainty and guide them in ﬁlling out paperwork for emergency assistance. When cases are aggressive there is no time to waste; we streamline the process for those whose lives are in peril.

Each caller is different and special, but the heartbreak can also be familiar. Families in crisis, single parents, dedicated spouses who can no longer handle the numbing demands of the journey. People overwhelmed by the options, making the journey alone, mostly without any insurance. No wonder depression and anxiety are constant companions.

Careity is hands-on direct patient care, with a reach made possible daily by our clinical staff and our network of physicians at The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders along with Dr. Amy Gunter and Solis mammography.

Careity social workers are available to help patients with the support that they need to push through each of the next days that they face. Nurse cancer navigators help and enable patients throughout their cancer treatment, no matter how many months or years that may be. Careity licensed dieticians keep patients healthy in order for them to get through their treatment. A Careity psychotherapist and chaplain help not only the patient but their families, too. Medical massage therapy, reﬂexology and acupuncture programs also play a huge part in alleviating some of the anxiety.

Every new call we receive is a journey. But it’s also an opportunity that we welcome to play an involved part in someone’s life at a critical time. Careity brings together the people and resources to give patients and families hope and keep them focused on healing.

Help. Hope. Healing. It’s our calling, so we are always ready for the next call.

FEATURING MORE THAN 20 SPECIALTIES ON ITS MENU FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING A CATFISH AND SHRIMP ETOUFFEE WITH LOUISIANA INFLUENCES AND A LOBSTER ROLL THAT WOULD MAKE MAINE RESIDENTS ENVIOUS,

America Gardens takes iconic dishes from many of our great states to create a playful and cohesive menu. Creative cocktails, ranging from frozen drinks and seasonal infusions to 20-plus beers on draft and spiked snow cones, can turn any night of the week into a party.

On a recent visit, parking was a little tricky. Because America Gardens isn’t an approved vendor for the nearby garages, we drove around a bit before finding a street spot.

What We Liked: The 10,000-squarefoot, pet-friendly patio is one of the best in the city. Classic food offerings pair nicely with the plethora of drink options.

What We Didn’t: Peppadew Peppers appetizer lacked the kick of heat.

Our Recommendations: Take advantage of the patio in the cooler months and save room for the only dessert on the menu, America’s Milk Shake.

as they enter. Once inside, patriotism abounds with a large-scale silhouette cutout of Mount Rushmore behind the bar and posters of American archetypes like Uncle Sam adorning the exposed brick walls. “Golden Tee Golf” and an old-school “Star Wars” arcade game sit in a corner, and several big-screen TVs offer ample views of guests’ favorite sporting events.

The west wall of the bar is made up of windowed garage doors that open up to America Gardens’ exceptional 10,000-square-foot, pet-friendly patio shaded by huge live oak and magnolia trees. A color scheme of red, white and blue continues in this adult playground offering live music, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, giant Jenga, cornhole, oversized Connect Four and a manicured green space dedicated to “fowling,” which replaces a bowling ball with a football and focuses on knocking down bowling pins. A mural of Abe Lincoln, George Washington and Ben Franklin raising a pint provides a clever touch.

Getting into the spirit of things, I ordered the Ben Franklin cocktail. A friendly and competent bartender blended Waterloo gin with Velvet Falernum, pineapple juice and topped it off with Rahr Dadgum IPA. It was well crafted and potent.

We first sampled the Peppadew Peppers appetizer ($8.95). A dozen fried Texas goat cheese-stuffed peppers come with a side of jalapeño ranch. Be forewarned, they are served extremely hot (temperature, not spice), so a first bite through the golden brown breading unleashed molten cheese that burned a bit. While a little greasy and lacking the kick that traditional stuffed jalapeños would provide, the starter was gratifying. Feature dishes of Southern Fried Chicken ($14.95) and the Farmer’s Bock Brat ($11.95) came out in a timely fashion. Creatively presented, the Brat’s soft challah roll cradled sliced smoked pork sausage, bacon, onions, gala apples and sauerkraut. The combination of

the sweet, salty, smoky and sour was exceptional. I opted to try my Southern Fried Chicken “Nashville Style” for an extra $2. The heat from the sauce on the chicken made my eyes water. Typically, the free-range chicken soaked in buttermilk is fried until crispy brown, but if you order it the Nashville way, the chicken is reborn with a fiery spirit. Portions are generous (enough for two to share), and you will need extra napkins. This bird that bites back is super messy. Sides of German-style potato salad and jicama slaw provide tasty cool-down bites.

We’d heard rumors about America Gardens’ only dessert item, America’s Milk Shake ($11.95), but we thought it was just a myth. We were overwhelmed when it was set down before us and wondered how exactly one begins to consume the Milk Shake swirled with Nutella and marshmallow cream, stuffed with candy bars, lined with both kinds of M&Ms and topped with a glazed doughnut and sprinkles. Its absurdity made it charming.

America Gardens recently launched its Sunday Funday. The hope is that patrons will start their day for brunch at their sister concept The Social House and afterward walk over a block for games and drink specials. Consider it your patriotic duty.

The Burger Mecca of Magnolia

| by Celestina Blok |

AMONGST THE HIPSTER COFFEEHOUSES, CHIC WINE BARS AND OTHER TRENDY LOCALES

ALONG WEST MAGNOLIA AVENUE SITS SHAW’S PATIO BAR & GRILL — although almost out of place. The namesake restaurant of longtime Fort Worth restaurateur David Shaw is more homey than hip with its wood-paneled walls, cozy interior and somewhat simple menu of burgers, hot dogs and milkshakes.

Location: 1051 West Magnolia Ave.

For Info: 817.926.2116, shawspatio.com

What We Liked: The unpretentious atmosphere and daily specials, like half-price hot dogs on Wednesdays and half-price burgers on Tuesdays and Thursdays, both from 4-7 p.m.

What We Didn’t: Maggie’s walnut cake, listed as a homemade Greek specialty, was unavailable on two visits. Could be listed as a chalkboard special when available.

Our Recommendations: If ordering a burger or hot dog, choose the addicting house-made, wafﬂecut potato chips as a side.

But with nearly four decades of restaurant experience, David Shaw knows what works. Long-lost restaurants under his watch included Abernathy’s, BlueBonnets Grill and Scampi’s Mediterranean Café, the latter of which sat in the same spot. At Shaw’s, service is swift and stellar, key components forgotten at too many newer venues. And while the casual eatery is most certainly family-friendly, those sans children can find solace in the separate bar area, which often hosts live music, on one of two lively patios.

One look at the menu and it’s obvious that burgers — all 21 of them — are the focus here. Shaw’s makes up for what Magnolia Avenue lacks in burger options. Varieties include standards like bacon cheddar and mushroom Swiss, along with more

interesting selections like the Mean Green, with arugula and spinach, mozzarella cheese and a parsley-basil aioli; and the 3-Alarm, loaded with habanero, serrano and jalapeño peppers. There’s also a turkey burger and a meatless portobello mushroom burger. Prices hover around $10, and they’re all half-off on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-7 p.m.

The difficult-to-pronounce Shawsage burger ($10.99) pays homage to the Italian focus of Scampi’s. A thick slice of creamy mozzarella cheese is melted over an Angus beef patty on a toasted bun. Chunks of spicy andouille sausage, strips of grilled white onions and a few sundried tomatoes round out the toppings. The ensemble is almost reminiscent of a meatball sub minus the marinara sauce, which would have been a nice addition in a small quantity. Grown-up versions of hot dogs are

also prevalent on the menu. The all-beef, quarter-pound dogs are served on grilled buns and, like the burgers, are served with crinkle-cut fries, baked beans, coleslaw or crispy waffle-cut potato chips made in-house. There’s a Shawsage hot dog that’s just like the burger, as well as a Sicilian dog with mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar, and a New York street dog with spicy brown mustard, grilled onions and sauerkraut.

We tried the Chicago dog ($8.99), which came loaded with chopped white onions, tomato wedges, pickle chips, banana pepper slices and sweet relish topped with yellow mustard. The dog itself was split and grilled, a nice touch. Ordering hot dogs at a restaurant outing might not be top of mind in this part of the country, but Shaw’s makes a case for it. Go on Wednesdays when they’re all half-price from 4-7 p.m.

44Bootlegger Now Serving French Menu With Spanish Flair

| by Shilo Urban |

44BOOTLEGGER HAS REINVENTED ITSELF AGAIN. Opened as a retail boutique by Tommy and Tammy Brown, the niche on West Magnolia Avenue was converted into a craft beer and wine bar in 2016. Most recently,

THE CATCH SEAFOOD RESTAURANT OPENS ON CAMP

BOWIE You can eat popcorn shrimp under a 12-foot shark at Camp Bowie Boulevard’s newest seafood restaurant, The Catch.

Featuring East Texas-style fried seafood and a Cajun lean, the menu here includes crawfish tail po’boys, flaky whitefish tacos, boiled snow crab, and shrimp étouffée. Dishes are served with french fries and bite-size hushpuppies.

“Anything you can get fried, you can also get it grilled,” explains The Catch co-founder Scott Nordon. Coastal seafood and fast-casual service have fueled the rapid expansion of this Tyler-based chain. Opened in late September, The Catch on Camp Bowie is a franchise store owned by Tommy Hicks, who also owns outlets in Lindale and Texarkana. Bright colors,

the rustic-chic hangout began serving Frenchinspired cuisine with a Spanish twist: ruby red steak tartare, juicy Spanish meatballs, and smoky croque monsieur sandwiches with velvet-smooth béchamel.

You won’t find a freezer in the kitchen of 44Bootlegger. Everything is made from scratch in-house. Shareable tapas are the focus of the menu, which also includes, European-style salads, entrees and desserts. Artisan cheese and charcuterie plates come with sliced baguettes and grainy mustard. Chalkboard specials evolve weekly and sometimes daily.

“We put our heads together to create a menu that didn't exist in the city, made

with fine ingredients,” Tommy explains. New Chef Jaime Fernandez brings a unique culinary background to the table. Trained in classical French cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Fernandez worked in the local scene before seizing an opportunity to cook at Restaurante Europa in Pamplona, Spain. In the city famous for its annual Running of the Bulls, Fernandez’ culinary vision was transformed. Now at 44Bootlegger, Fernandez fuses his passions for Spanishstyle cooking and haute French cuisine. Well-executed, yet unpretentious, 44Bootlegger’s new menu matches its inviting hideaway vibe, handcrafted furniture and antique wooden doors. The restaurant continues to serve a rotating selection of 44 wines and 44 beers. For an elegant sampling of the new cuisine, try the 44 Platter, which includes “tout sauf le robinet de la cuisine” — everything but the kitchen sink.

bold décor and communal bar seating (under the shark) make this location feel fresher and more modern than some of its counterparts. Now with 10 restaurants, The Catch is casting a wide net across North Texas. Another new outlet opened in Arlington in October, joining locations in Burleson and on the North Tarrant Parkway. “We also want to grow into the Mansfield area and eventually Weatherford,” Nordon reports.

The Catch on Camp Bowie pours Rahr, Revolver and Lakewood Brewing Co. beers from the tap. Bottled brews, wine and frozen cocktails are also available. Nordon has many favorites on the menu. “I love the gumbo — our recipe is authentic. I’m also a big fried oyster and fried shrimp fan. The po’boys are amazing, and the cheese grits are friggin’ phe-

nomenal. They’re made with three different cheeses — it’s like a drug.” — Shilo Urban

extrabites The Right Thing to Do

Fort Worth chefs help feed Port Aransas post Hurricane Harvey

| by Celestina Blok |

WHEN HURRICANE HAR-

VEY HIT THE TEXAS COAST AS A CATEGORY

4 STORM ON AUG. 25, FRED’S TEXAS CAFÉ OWNER

TERRY CHANDLER TOOK ACTION. The chuck wagon cook rallied members of his restaurant crew, packed his cooking equipment and headed south.

“It just seemed like the right thing to do,” Chandler said. “I just figured there’d be people down there that needed to eat.”

He was right. Chandler and his team got word there was a huge need to feed the hundreds of first responders, workers and many locals in Port Aransas, the popular Texas vacation town hit hard by Harvey. It was there that two locals — a fishing guide named David Heasley and a photographer named Jon Steele — had quickly organized what they called Cowboy Camp David, a Harvey relief site started with just a barbecue pit and a tent. The camp promised “free food, free water and free hugs,” a makeshift sign stated.

“Our mission was to fill bellies,” said Chandler, who stayed for 10 days, cooking large-batch meals like spaghetti, mac and cheese, smoked brisket and eggs and bacon. “But what ended up happening in the middle of it all is that we created a sanctuary … an escape. It was the most fun I’ve ever had while my guts were ripped out.”

While Chandler and other volunteers worked to serve sometimes 3,000 people daily, recipients found solace and hope in the camp’s spirited atmosphere. Chandler compared the scene to a massive tailgate party, one where live music often broke out and beer flowed.

But after nearly two weeks of prepping and serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, Chandler and his team needed to get back home to their jobs and their families, even though the need in Port A was still great. That’s when it was suggested Chandler give Jon Bonnell a call.

“I knew that he went down

there almost immediately,” Bonnell said of Chandler. “He’s one of those guys who says, ‘I know you’re in trouble, I’m on my way.’ ” Chandler asked Bonnell if he could provide some relief. The Waters and Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine owner didn’t hesitate. He used his connections and donations to line up a refrigerated truck full of food from Ben E. Keith and commercial cooking equipment from Taylor’s Rental.

“I grew up going down there as a kid quite a bit,” Bonnell said of Port Aransas. “Every summer I would go with my best friend and his family. We’d fish from the jetties and go crabbing at night from the pier. Those are some of my best memories from childhood.”

Bonnell had just visited Port Aransas with his own family two weeks before Harvey.

“We had the best family trip ever,” he said. “The kids caught sharks, and we cooked them and ate them at dinner. They flew a kite for the first time. They got to do all these beach things, all the things I remember doing as a kid. Two weeks later, every landmark we saw was wiped out. It just broke my heart.”

Bonnell said Harvey’s path of destruction is evident as far as an hour’s drive from the coast. Gas stations are demolished, and debris is piled high in front of every building and house, he said. There is still much work to be done, but as more restaurants continue to open in Port Aransas, as well as along the coast through Rockport and Port O’Connor, Bonnell said patronizing the area is the best thing folks can do to help.

“Those who knew I was going to Port A just walked up with cash and said, ‘Here, take this,’ ” Bonnell said. “I had hundreds of dollars in my pocket. Any local that worked in a restaurant there, I told them, ‘Work a shift for me. I got a hundred dollars cash for you.’ But the best thing you can do for Port A now is go. There are some incredibly gorgeous beach condos that didn’t get hit and are perfect. You’ll get reservations without even having to make them ahead of time. And the restaurants are so appreciative.”

Bonnell spent nearly a week at Cowboy Camp David before heading back to Fort Worth.

“I’m tired, I don’t smell good, I need to shave and I need to go to work,” he said. “But it just seemed like the right thing to do.”

Jon Bonnell serves food in Port Aransas after Hurricane Harvey.

Pick of the Month

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in Fort Worth was once the only Texas location that didn’t serve lunch. But that changed in October, when the downtown restaurant introduced a lunch menu with new items like the Lobster Roll and a Jalapeño-Bacon Burger served on Challah Texas Toast. Guests can also opt to do the $25 Business Lunch, which includes a starter soup or salad, along with an entrée like the Filet Medallions or PanSeared Salmon. delfriscos.com/ steakhouse/fort-worth

FADED GHOST SIGNS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING AT 124 WEST EXCHANGE AVE. IN THE STOCKYARDS tell the story of what it used to be — from the Kimmons Furniture Company sign on the wall facing Ellis Avenue, to the Owl Cigars sign facing Exchange. But today, the building’s current purpose isn’t displayed on a painted sign, but rather a neon one. It’s now The Cantina Cadillac, a country nightclub known for hosting a rowdy crowd.

LUXURY Inspired

With combined 74 years of service in the public school system, retired educators Dr. Nathanial and Callie Hearne don’t just aspire to excellence, it’s their life’s work. Co-founders of Euless Loaves and Fishes and Made Up Minds, the Arlington residents established Hearne & Hearne, Inc., based on their vision to inspire positive character development.

It was no coincidence then that when selecting a new vehicle for his wife’s birthday, the former assistant coach at Odessa Permian High School (of Friday Night Lights fame) looked to Park Place Motorcars Arlington, known for its level of excellence in luxury car sales and service.

“When I decided to buy my Mercedes-Benz, I knew I would buy from Park Place because of

their standard of excellence,” said Dr. Hearne, a former Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD administrator. The dealership arranged for the 2017 C300 Mercedes-Benz, a luxury sedan that Callie Hearne “dreamed of owning,” to be parked on the showroom floor. “Callie was completely shocked and surprised to find out the black Mercedes-Benz with the red bow on the hood was hers,” Dr. Hearne recalls.

“I have purchased many vehicles during the course of my lifetime, but I have never, never experienced anything that comes close to comparing with the commitment to excellence my wife and I receive at Park Place Motorcars Arlington,” said Dr. Hearne.
