Parting Shot One last unique look at the city we all call home
After meeting people, I want to know where they are from, what they do, how they met their significant other, and if it’s not too much to ask, where exactly they live. I think, and really hope, that I’m tactful enough to work these curiosities casually into a conversation. But, sometimes I bite my tongue and instead just wonder. That’s why, when I started as executive editor here, one of my goals was to simply introduce you to cool people who either live in or are connected to Fort Worth. This month our cover story does just that as we feature the most stylish men in Fort Worth.
One morning in the throes of working on the October issue, a well-dressed man walked in. I introduced myself, and he responded with a “Wilson Franklin, nice to meet you,” as he removed his cowboy hat and reached out his hand. He also referred to me as “ma’am” the rest of the shoot, despite the reverse age gap. It was so very Fort Worth, and it was so very stylish. When it was time to shoot, he was a natural in front of the camera, and it was obvious he was an heir to style. The following day I had the pleasure of seeing him and his hat and his charming wife again at the TCU football game. This time he sported a subtle purple. Style points increased.
There is a story like this that goes along with all of our most stylish men this month. Throughout our shoots, I found that they are each sweet, funny, grateful, confident and, of course, stylish, no matter what they wear. Writer Jocelyn Tatum interviewed each one, getting to the bottom of what influenced his “look” for our cover story on page 54, and photographer Alex Lepe literally captured each subject perfectly.
In our second feature story this month, writer Gail Bennison takes on the tough subject of domestic violence and gives it a scientific spin. Her story, “Digitizing Emotion,” is a fascinating look at how University of Texas at Arlington researchers are studying impulses in the brain, which may lead to alerting someone before a rage actually happens. We love it when Gail is willing to tackle these tough subjects, and she does it brilliantly again on page 68.
I write this letter on one of my last days in the office before going on maternity leave. But, I am leaving you in good hands. Former executive editor Jennifer Casseday-Blair will return to this chair as she graciously takes over in my absence. I’ll be back in a couple of issues. Until then, I return to the role of fascinated and overly curious reader.

Cambria hotel & suites, a brand within Choice Hotels, will open in Kimball Park at 2104 E. State Highway 114 on Oct. 15. Near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the hotel is described as upscale but not uptight. Visitors can expect 175 guest rooms that blend contemporary design with Texas style via barn-door bathroom entryways, leather accents and stone surfaces. The lobby bar will stay true to the Lone Star State, stocked with Texas craft beer. The new property is also poised for the Texas heat with an outdoor pool area with 5,000 square feet of patio space and cabanas. Sam Cannon, general manager of Cambria Southlake DFW North, says the hotel incorporates many elements that the Cambria chain is known for, but the property has been customized, and upgraded, for this market. “We’ve also gone to great lengths to make this property reflect the region, featuring curated art by local Texas artisans – from the handblown glass longhorn in the lobby to the sliding barn doors in the bathrooms,” says Cannon.

IT’S BEEN NEARLY THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING, but Whole Foods Market will finally open its first Fort Worth location, inside the new Waterside development, on Oct. 12. The 45,000-square-foot store will serve as the anchor for the 63-acre, mixed-use development, currently under construction at Bryant Irvin Road and Arborlawn Drive. This will be the Austin-based company’s first Fort Worth location and the 13th in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Whole Foods Market’s local community liaison, Steffany Steichen, says the outdoor-friendly aspect of the development, which plans to embrace foliage, fitness and outdoor seating in an area called “The Grove,” is a major benefit. “We’ve really enjoyed exploring our new neighborhood and knowing our shoppers will have great access to outdoor recreational spots like Trinity Trail and The Grove,” Steichen said.
The store will house a taproom with 16 draft beers, a dozen TVs and a shuffleboard table. With an ode to local brews, tables in the taproom will be made from Rahr & Sons barrels. Guests can grab a beer before grocery shopping and place their empty glass in several return glass holders located throughout the store.
Meanwhile, the meat department will showcase barbecue with a full-service area with pit-style meats, hot and cold sides and several less-traditional offerings, including stuffed quail. The prepared food section of the store will include Whole Foods staples like hot offerings, a salad bar and self-serve pizza and sushi.
Fellow Waterside tenants REI, Taco Heads, Sur La Table and Tokyo Joes are already open in the center. Whole Foods Market, 3720 Vision Drive, watersidefw.com
THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED FORT WORTH OFFSHOOT OF DALLAS’ HG SPLY CO. OFFICIALLY OPENED ON MONDAY, AUG. 22. Located on the Trinity River in the new mixed-use WestBend development, HG uses all-natural, responsibly sourced ingredients. This is the second location for HG Sply Co. The first opened at Lower Greenville in Dallas and immediately became popular thanks to a menu of savory plates, bowls and classic cocktails in a casual setting. It’s also widely popular for its rooftop bar in Dallas – sadly a part of the equation that won't make its way to Fort Worth. But, the 7,000-square-foot patio will open “in a few weeks” and promises to embrace the Trinity River location overlooking the river and trails. Until then, the 4,400-square-foot interior with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a picturesque deck with cocktail service, will have to do.
The diet-friendly restaurant serves lunch, dinner and brunch. Eric O’Connor, formerly of Winslow’s Wine Café, is the chef de cuisine at the newest location. The wide-ranging menu includes items like vegan queso (made with coconut milk and cashew butter) and a cheddar bacon burger alongside healthy house bowls filled with your choice of the “hunted,” (steak, beef, salmon, pork) and “gathered,” (yellow curry, stir fry, zucchini pasta). The Gulf Shrimp Boil, shell-on shrimp with andouille sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob; and the HG Chicken Fried Steak, skirt steak over mashed potatoes, are exclusive to the Fort Worth menu.
“Our mission has always been a simple one: serve fresh, flavorful dishes prepared and sourced the right way to fuel your day. We want people to enjoy time with their friends in a relaxed environment with thoughtfully prepared drinks and little to no regret the next day,” says founder Elias Pope.

SO, YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A SKIER. You’ve blazed a trail through the Rockies, planted turns in the High Sierra, and even ventured north to the snowy slopes of Alaska. But you’ve yet to experience the rustic New England charm and natural beauty of wide-open groomers, technical trees and steep glades of the East. Too often considered a step down from the West, East Coast slopes are an experience no skier should overlook, and the best runs of the East are found throughout the Green Mountains of Vermont.
In Vermont’s southwest corner, Stratton Mountain Ski Resort, topping out at 3,875 feet, embraces Southern Vermont’s highest peak and best all-around family fun. With
more than 70 percent of the mountain’s 97 trails rated for beginner and intermediate skiers, it’s perfect for all abilities. Meanwhile the mountain’s always-festive pedestrian village plays host to a calendar full of winter festivals including all-day snow fun at 24 Hours of Stratton ; the halfpipe, slopestyle and rail jam events of The Vermont Open ; and live music and great food at Marchdi Gras Village Winterfest.
At Killington Resort in the heart of Central Vermont, everything is bigger. Known as "The Beast of the East," it is the state’s largest ski resort, boasting six mountain peaks with more than 3,000 feet of vertical drop, 1,509 skiable acres and six unique terrain parks including the 500-foot Superpipe. And while Killington
offers a variety of terrain options, more than a third of its 155 trails are rated most difficult. Best of all, Killington has the longest on-snow season in the East with skiing from October to June.
With the perfect blend of luxury and off-piste skiing, the six peaks of Sugarbush Resort in the Mad River Valley offer more than 4,000 skiable acres, not to mention more than 2,000 acres of backcountry ski terrain in the secluded Slide Brook Basin. Reach untouched powder snow and the East’s only cat skiing in Sugarbush’s luxurious 12-person Lincoln Limo. Then unwind amid the charming Sugarbush Inn or the slope-side ambience of Clay Brook before enjoying an elegant fireside dinner at Allyn’s Lodge atop Lincoln Peak.
In Northern Vermont, luxury resides at Stowe Mountain Resort, where a storied history dating back to the 1940s makes this the quintessential New England ski experience. However, the 2016 season ushers in world-class upgrades and innovative additions to the old resort like allnew chairlifts, an inter-mountain transfer gondola joining Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak, a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center at Spruce Peak and base area extras including elegant eateries, shops and extravagant slope-side real estate. Stowe’s finest addition is the 312-room Stowe Mountain Lodge offering guests two gourmet restaurants, a 21,000-square-foot full-service spa and lavish accommodations with expansive mountain views.
For youngsters, nothing beats Smugglers’ Gulch in Northern Vermont. Starting with skiers as young as 2-3 years old, kid-friendly programs are specifically structured according to narrow age increments that
more appropriately respond to the learning and development of children. In addition to alpine, snowboard and telemarked lessons, teenagers will stay busy with night jibbing lessons, airboard slalom courses and the Teen Alley Teen Center for nightly concerts and special events. Meanwhile, thrill seekers of all ages can test their skills on the East’s only triple-black diamond slope— The Black Hole.
Mad River Glen to the north is home to the nation’s last remaining single chairlift along with legendary expert terrain, great snow and uncrowded slopes free of snowboarders. That’s right, Mad River Glen is one of only three remaining North American resorts that prohibit snowboarding. Making it even more unique, the resort’s non-commercial, co-op ownership means families can enjoy loads of beginner and intermediate slopes, an intimate base area and a welcoming atmosphere, all in the company
of an exceptionally dedicated staff.
Finally, Jay Peak is the place to be for the East Coast’s best all-mountain exploration and ski terrain akin to Western resorts. The most snowfall in the East, averaging 355 inches a year, means loads of powder snow, and Vermont’s only aerial tram means powder hunting throughout the mountain’s more than 100 acres of glades and endless backcountry has never been easier.
But it’s not all skiing and snowboarding in the East. In addition to a unique ski experience, Vermont’s resorts offer their own spin on mountain mainstays like miles of Nordic trails, snowshoe trekking, snowmobiling tours, ice-skating, snow tubing and dogsledding, not to mention their own take on the mountain lifestyle. So break out of your ski comfort zone this season and head east where a whole new set of slopes and adventures await in the Green Mountains of Vermont.

KAWS: Where the End Starts, a clever exhibition encompassing nuances of pop art, graffiti and consumer culture, will be on view at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth from Oct. 20, 2016 – Jan. 22, 2017.
| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |
BROOKLYN-BASED ARTIST KAWS WAS BORN BRIAN DONNELLY AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST RELEVANT ARTISTS OF HIS GENERATION. Growing up in New Jersey, he began his career as a graffiti artist, most notably tagging walls and freight trains. Once responsible for defacing billboards, KAWS went on to earn his BFA degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. After college he freelanced for animation studios and became part of an outdoor group sculptural exhibit, ARTZUID, in Amsterdam.
Now his fine art is exhibited around the world with much of his work available for purchase in a variety of media, including collectible vinyl toys, sneakers, snowboards and clothing.
It’s evident that KAWS was highly influenced by the cartoon characters he grew up watching. He has primarily looked to and drawn from pop-culture animations, including The Smurfs, Mickey Mouse, The Simpsons, SpongeBob, Hanna-Barbera, and Peanuts.
Best known for his characters possessing Xs for eyes and skulls and crossbones for heads, KAWS has also invented many characters. His three most iconic figures are COMPANION, inspired by Mickey Mouse; CHUM, a variation of the Michelin Man; and ACCOMPLICE, a bunny that resembles a stuffed toy with long ears. The figures provoke a myriad of emotions, from sad, overwhelmed and pathetic to weary and shy.
COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH) exemplifies this. The 16-foot-tall sculpture is seated with its head in its hands. With a Mickey Mouse body, complete with gloves, shorts and cartoonshaped shoes, COMPANION is much like the original character. Its posture and pose suggest sadness and the feeling of being overwhelmed, something in which viewers will be able to relate.
KAWS explains: “COMPANION is a figure in the world now, and it’s not all great out there. He deals with life the way everyone does. Even though I use a comic language, my figures are not always reflecting the idealistic cartoon view that I grew up on, where everything has a happy ending. COMPANION is more

real in dealing with contemporary human circumstances. He reflects attitudes we all have. I think when I’m making work, it also often mirrors what’s going on with me at that time. Things change—sometimes it’s tense in the studio, other times things are happy. I want to understand the world I’m in, and, for me, making and seeing art is a way to do that.”
The exhibition includes approximately 100 works and will occupy the entire first-level galleries with some sculptures situated on the museum’s grounds. Organized by Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth curator Andrea Karnes in close collaboration with the artist, this presentation will feature key paintings, sculptures, drawings, toys and street art interventions to examine KAWS's prolific career in depth, revealing critical aspects of his formal, conceptual and collaborative developments over the last 20 years.
Karnes says, “KAWS’s toys and larger-than-life sculpture of hybrid cartoon/human figures are the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. They reflect emotions and situations we can all empathize with in presentations that are balanced with humor, heartening in their cartoon aesthetic.”
Five years ago, the Modern featured KAWS’s work in a smallscale solo exhibition as part of the FOCUS series. KAWS’s painting, Where the End Starts, was acquired for the museum’s permanent collection. In 2012 his work returned to the Modern when COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH) was installed outside the museum’s main entrance.
After the exhibit concludes on Jan. 22, it will travel to the Yuz Museum in Shanghai, China, through August 2017.

As the foundation of the Fort Worth Opera’s educational initiative, the Children’s Opera Theatre program strives to cultivate a love and appreciation for opera among young people in North Texas.
| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |
THROUGH THE FORT WORTH OPERA’S CHILDREN’S OPERA THEATRE (COT), students are introduced to opera and classical music with hilarious, educational shows based on timeless, classic fairy tales. Local schools can host professional yet affordable 45-minute performances that expose students to something they may not otherwise experience in their lives.
Amanda Robie, director of the Hattie Mae Lesley Apprentice Artists, says, “Opera is in a state of transition where we are trying to find new ways to excite and engage audiences
including students and the next generation of opera lovers… If children aren’t exposed in the classroom, they might not experience this very stylized art form that is not part of our popular culture at the moment. To create well-rounded educated individuals, it is important that they be exposed to many different art forms.”
Reaching nearly 40,000 students on average each year in the DFW Metroplex, the ensemble is made up of four professionally trained opera singers known as the Hattie Mae Lesley Apprentice Artists and a staff pianist, Stephen Carey.
"The COT performers are young artists making the step between completing school and starting their careers. They are fully trained opera singers that go to schools and give a true operatic performance even if it is a fairy tale story,” Robie says.
Robie helps educators integrate the art form into their curriculum by distributing professionally developed teacher’s guides in advance of a performance. The guides include lesson plans and advice for using the opera performance as a largescale learning experience in the classroom.
Current shows include Little Red’s Most Unusual Day, which tells the story of Forest Ranger Dudley and how he is too shy to ask Little Red’s mother to the Forest Ranger Ball, and The Bremen Town Musicians, featuring an adaptation of the tale of Dorabella the Cat, Barcarolle the Dog, Eddie Pensier the Rooster and General Boom the Donkey.
COT performances consist of elaborate sets, costumes, fully staged acting, singing and choreography. They are designed specifically for elementary school students and presented in both public and private schools. For secondary schools, the COT offers Opera Mythbusters. Also performed by its resident singers, the show demonstrates how opera fits into our culture and experiences various forms of live music.
“Students are extremely engaged and given the opportunity to ask questions about the performance after the opera…We get letters from the teachers afterward, and schools want to have us back every year because they love what we do for the students," Robie says.
Another way in which students are given the opportunity to experience opera is during Student Night at Bass Performance Hall. Not only are children able to get an inside look at the final dress rehearsals for Bass Hall productions, but they also get to see technical adjustments, a director in action and an orchestra fine-tuning the music. At only $5 per pass, there is no excuse why students shouldn’t be able to have this one-ofa-kind experience.

WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE IMAGES OF OKTO-
IN MUNICH,
Brightly colored tents upon tents are packed full of native Germans and tourists alike, swigging beer, singing songs, and enjoying pounds of sausage, chicken and schnitzel. This year Germany will celebrate its 183rd Oktoberfest. The festivities will get underway using the traditional “O’zapft is!” cry, meaning “the barrel is tapped!” From that point on, festival goers will spend the next 17 days enjoying the largest fair in the world and, of course, eat and drink as much as possible.
If Germany is not on your radar this year, here are a few go-to dishes that will make you dance the polka at your own Oktoberfest party. Grab a few local or German beers, put your chicken hat on and get ready to say “Prost!”
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 large stalks celery
• 3 cloves peeled garlic, minced
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 16 ounces medium German beer
• 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
• 12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded, plus additional for garnish
• Salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, and garlic; sauté 10 minutes.
Add the flour and stir well. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes until the flour turns golden brown.
Combine the chicken stock and heavy cream. Slowly pour into flour mixture, whisking constantly until combined.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the beer and mustard. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently until foam subsides.
Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until thick. Remove from heat, and whisk in the cheese a
handful at a time. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Top with shredded cheese.
• 1 1/2 cups warm water, 110-115 degrees F
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 envelope active dry yeast
• 22 ounces all-purpose flour
• 2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
• Vegetable oil, for the bowl and pan
• 10 cups water
• 2/3 cup baking soda
• 1 large egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
• Pretzel salt
Combine the 1 1/2 cups warm water, the sugar and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside for 5 minutes or until the mixture foams.
Add the flour and butter, and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl, then oil it well. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with oil. Set aside.
Bring the 10 cups water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in a 12-inch, straight-sided sauté pan or a roasting pan (something wide and shallow is best).
Meanwhile, turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide into eight equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope, and, holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place on a half sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
One by one, place the pretzels in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return them to the sheet pans, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture, and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
Bake until dark golden brown in color, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
PORK SCHNITZEL
• 4 boneless pork chops pounded very thin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour combined
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup milk or half and half added to eggs
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 lemon cut into wedges
• ½ cup finely chopped curly parsley
• Vegetable oil
Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until just ¼-inch thick with the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Lightly season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the flour mixture, egg/milk, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Dip the chops in the flour, then the egg/milk mixture
and then breadcrumbs, coating both sides and all edges at each stage. Be careful not to press the breadcrumbs into the meat. Gently shake off the excess crumbs.
Make sure the cooking oil is hot enough at this point (about 350 degrees F) as you don’t want the Schnitzel to sit around in the coating before frying. Use enough oil so that the Schnitzels “swim” in it. Fry the Schnitzel for about 2-3 minutes on both sides until a deep golden brown. Transfer briefly to a cooling tray lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with slices of fresh lemon and chopped parsley.
Recipe: Germanfoods.org
• 1 whole chicken, about 3.5 pounds split in half
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet)
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon oregano
• 1 pinch ground pepper
• ¼ teaspoon marjoram
• 1 pinch of ground rosemary
• 2 tablespoons butter
Wash the whole chicken inside and out, and thoroughly towel dry. Mix the herbs and spices in a bowl. Rub the chicken inside and out with the spice mixture. Place the chicken in a baking dish filled with 1/2 inch of water. Cut the butter into small pats and place on top of the chicken. Roast at 325 degrees for about one hour or until done. Baste with the pan juices several times during the roasting, every 15-20 minutes.
• 1 medium red cabbage
• 1 large apple
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons dry red German wine or red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin or caraway seeds
• A good chunk of butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
Chop the cabbage into 4 quarters. Cut out the central core and shred. Remove the core of the apple, peel and cut into small pieces. Place everything together in a large pan with about 1
1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer very gently for about 30 minutes, stirring once. The cabbage should be tender but not soft and the liquid absorbed so the mixture looks glossy. Serve hot. If making ahead, cool and chill. Reheat thoroughly to serve.

With its Mobile Cancer Survivor Clinic, the Moncrief Cancer Institute brings its services to patients who otherwise would not have access to them.
| by Jennifer Casseday-Blair |
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, HEIGHTENING OUR FOCUS ON PREVENTION OF THE DISEASE. According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2016. An estimated 600,000 people will die of the disease this year.
On the bright side, we have more knowledge and tools than ever to prevent and detect cancer. Regular screenings are the greatest defense, and with early detection, treatments are more likely to be successful.
For some, however, mammograms are not an option. Lack of insurance or proximity to screening facilities can act as deterrents. That’s where the Moncrief Cancer Institute steps…or rolls…in.
Its $1.1 million mobile clinic hits the road bringing free mammograms and cervical
screenings to the uninsured and those who qualify. In addition to mammograms and pap tests, the mobile clinic offers specialized help for those who have survived cancer (both men and women). Services include one-on-one fitness training, nutrition counseling and visits with nurses and psychologists. If questions can’t be answered on-site, patients are directed to specialists at Moncrief and its partner UT Southwestern Medical Center via telemedicine links.
“We don’t turn any cancer survivors away, and we don’t send anyone a bill,” said Tracy Mazour, RN, who leads the institute’s survivor program. “The mobile clinic allows patients in Tarrant and eight surrounding counties to get the same survivor services offered at our headquarters in Fort Worth.”
Moncrief Director Keith Argenbright, M.D., says the Mobile Cancer Survivor Clinic is the first of its kind in Texas. “Our
goal is to restore cancer patients back to health and prevent recurrence, no matter where you live in North Texas,” Argenbright said.
“Even after surviving the disease, cancer survivors face a range of issues including pain, difficulties with range of motion, depression, anxiety and poor nutrition. We can help.”
Moncrief patient and breast cancer survivor, Angela Johnson, says, “I had Stage 3 breast cancer, no insurance, and I didn’t know what I was going to do to prevent cancer again…Then I heard about Moncrief.” Johnson lost 40 pounds after working out with Moncrief’s exercise trainer. Like other survivors in the program, she received personalized exercise sessions and nutrition counseling.
The Moncrief Cancer Institute serves patients in more than 30 counties and provides nearly 10,000 mammograms a year. It does this through grants from organizations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, Centers for Disease Control and Texas Department of State Health Services.
FOR MAMMOGRAMS AND PAP TESTS, WOMEN MAY CALL 800.405.7739. TO ENROLL IN THE FREE CANCER SURVIVOR PROGRAM, GO TO MONCRIEF.COM/ SURVIVORS OR CALL 800.405.7739. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN BRINGING THE MOBILE CLINIC TO YOUR WORKPLACE, CHURCH OR A COMMUNITY EVENT, CALL 817.288.9878. Moncrief Cancer Institute 400 W. Magnolia Ave. Fort Worth 76104 moncrief.com
At Texas Oncology, our patients are as remarkable as our care. They’re part of a cancer-fighting community the size of Texas — with 420+ physicians, 175+ locations and thousands of patients on clinical trials. Come to any Texas Oncology practice, and you’ll hear about an amazing Texan like Charlet. She came in for treatment and ran her way to victory over breast cancer.

I had no clue what defined men’s style until I spent weeks with some of the most well-dressed men in Fort Worth. The theme was consistent and simple — their identity is closely tied to what they wear, and they only wear what they feel most comfortable in. Oncologist Dr. Asad Dean put it best when he said we have one life to live so why should we hold back when expressing who we are, whether colorful or conventional? And entrepreneur Jonathan Morris does not dress for others. He may even skip an event if the invite suggests attire that doesn’t fit his taste. Business casual? No thanks. His question: what does that even mean? One man’s business is another man’s casual. One thing is for sure: when dressed his best, each one of these men stands a little taller.
Abraham Alexander Musician Style Advice: “Having a true sense of identity and not wavering from it. Walk with confidence.”
He grew up in Athens, Greece, where you could cut racial tension with a saw. His mother, a singer, and his father, a musician, dressed their son, Abraham Alexander, to a “T” because people would respect a well-dressed man, no matter his race. His parents eventually moved to North Texas to escape the racism and crumbling economy in Greece.
After 15 years in Texas, Alexander’s style is still very much influenced by his past in Europe — he can almost always be found in a well-fitted suit from Zara or J. Hilburn in Dallas. He appreciates the tailored fit of European suits, sports fine Stetson hats and sometimes suspenders. His more casual go-to is Urban Outfitters on Seventh Street because he has a thing for its T-shirts. One evening when walking through Chimera Brewing Co. on Magnolia Avenue,
several people stopped him about his hat, or his suspenders, or his cool beard. He stands out everywhere, but I’m betting that also has something to do with his illuminating character.
Alexander is finishing school part-time at Texas Wesleyan but works full-time as a banker. That is when he’s not coaching soccer or singing the “soulful blues” at intimate venues like the Live Oak Music Hall & Lounge on Magnolia Avenue. Before music, he played soccer at Texas Wesleyan but tore his ACL two years ago. Alexander turned to music. His God-given musical talent now soars. And, people are listening.
Marcel, you might catch the three of them “bebopping” down Magnolia Avenue in South Fort Worth.
Everything he does has meaning and purpose.
His music is filled with lyrics about hope and the fascinating life he’s already lived at 26 years old. When he’s not jamming at home with some of his best buddies, Leon Bridges and Brandon
“If you respect yourself and make that come across outwardly, then nobody else can disrespect you. Even if they tried, it wouldn’t penetrate you because of that respect you have for yourself deep down inside,” Alexander said.
Christopher Goetz
Owner, Christopher Goetz Clothiers
Style Advice: “You have to feel comfortable with your own style. Don’t get caught up in fads.”
When he was a young boy, Christopher Goetz told his parents to quit buying him clothes. He had an innate sense for style and wasn’t going to let his parents get in the way. So at 12 years old, he got his first job and realized the importance of dressing to impress, at work that is.
“Once I made my own money, I read and researched in the New York Times or the Star-Telegram to see what men were wearing.”
He spent every penny on clothes. Goetz remembers buying his first pair of Bass Weejuns, Levi jeans and a few button-down shirts. By 13 years old, he knew he wanted a career in the clothing business.
Now the owner of his namesake Christopher Goetz Clothiers on West Seventh
Street, he has been living out his dream since 1987. And although pictured here in a gray pinstriped custom suit and slip-on Alden shoes with Ray-Ban glasses, his go-to is a patterned sport coat like herringbone, check, or a classic plaid paired with a solid pant.
Rusty Long Stylist
Style Advice: “Find purpose in what you wear, and the passion will follow. Quality — go for things that are timeless. Build a proper wardrobe and think long term.”
This guy has been working in the men’s clothing industry his whole life, well, since he was in high school. He now works with D. Jones Clothiers as a stylist. Rusty Long and Drew Jones could not be more different in their own style. While Jones is more into contemporary trends, Long appreciates the look of movie stars like Cary Grant but without the oversized suits. The perfect fit is key for dressing well.
“I love all things Old World, antique. Give me some old Hollywood celebrities, old photographs, and I love taking those things and saying, how can you do that with the proper fit?”
His look stays intelligent and elegant even with a third child on the way.
“There’s a misconception about wearing nice garments that fit snug around kids. Quality cotton and wool are very easy to clean, and clothes that fit better are easy to move around in [similar to workout clothes].”
If he dresses well, then he feels more confident throughout the day. He takes the expression, “you are what you eat,” but applies it to his style.
Scott Mitchell
Vice President and General Manager, Neiman Marcus Fort Worth
Style Advice: “Stay current by updating your wardrobe. Do not be afraid to show your personality.”
Scott Mitchell started working at Neiman Marcus in Dallas right out of college. He has since worked all the way up to the vice president and general manager at Neiman Marcus Fort Worth. Like most men in a professional atmosphere, Mitchell is confined to a suit. However, this does not keep him from having fun and expressing himself.
“I am not afraid to pair a pink or purple dress shirt with a stand-out tie with a basic black suit or wear a subtle plaid shirt, not necessarily a dress shirt, with a striped tie.”
A fan of the current “athleisure” trend for men, he’s also not afraid to break up pieces by wearing a suit jacket over a hoodie sweatshirt with blue jeans or trousers or pair a colorful sneaker with a suit. With an innate knowledge of brands, he pointed out that Giuseppe Zanotti, Balenciaga, and Buscemi offer bold and colorful statement sneakers with distressed denim and casual trousers, while Gucci, Prada and Vince offer an elevated look that updates the traditional men’s suit.
“Sneakers are perfectly acceptable in the work place and should be worn with everything.”
Mitchell and his family moved to Fort Worth seven years ago. He’s observed the many rapid developments in this city and gets to be a part of one of the biggest —Neiman Marcus Fort Worth is moving to The Shops at Clearfork, part of the Edwards Ranch development. And he shared some news with us — two designers, Brunello Cucinelli and Canali, will be offered in the new store’s men’s department.

Jonathan Morris
Owner, Fort Worth Barber Shop Style Advice: “Dress to inspire yourself.”
Although he calls himself “the janitor,” this 32-year-old entrepreneur is anything but. Well, maybe he does sweep the floors. Jonathan Morris owns Fort Worth Barber Shop on the corner of Lovell Avenue and Montgomery Street, so his hair always looks good. He gets a fresh cut every week, but that’s not the only reason we think this guy has great style. He owns his look with confidence and ease.
His style is so relaxed and casual that he thought it was funny we even contacted him for this article because he doesn’t take himself or social events too seriously. He never dresses for the crowd yet always speaks to them through his clothes.
“Tell people a little something about you,” Morris said. He would say his style is eclectic. He means he can’t nail it down or call it one
thing. The word “casual” encapsulates it, but one day he may look preppy and the next a skater boy. He wears whatever he is feeling at the moment. He frequents J. Crew, yet his favorite accessory is a green letterman jacket from the 1960s he found at a thrift store in Austin, Texas.
“One of my biggest peeves is when you get an invitation that has a dress code on it. Business casual? My business is different from your business,” he said with a playful smirk.
Morris is changing Fort Worth one good-looking haircut at a time. He believes a great haircut can change the way someone feels about himself.
“Which, in turn, changes their entire view of the world,” Morris said.

Asad Dean Oncologist
Style Advice: “Do not hold back from expressing yourself in your style.”
Dr. Asad Dean might be one of the most confident men I have ever met. He’s an oncologist who doesn’t let his day job get in the way of his fashion statements. He showed up to our photo shoot with custom-made Louis Vuitton cowboy boots that had just arrived.
“Obviously if people are going to wear something different, others will notice,” Dean said. But it isn’t just about that. This is Asad’s language.”
Dean attends events all over the world, including New York Fashion Week every year for the last seven years, sometimes sitting in the second row with celebrities. He once wore houndstooth-printed velvet sequin pants as tuxedo pants to a local black-tie-fundraiser. He admits Texas men aren’t usually seen in sequins, but he isn’t too worried about that. Dean doesn’t hold back from what he feels he
should wear at the moment, yet he places much emphasis on the context of the event.
“You never want to suck the energy out of the room. I [dress] because I have a respect for the people I am around,” Dean said.
Dean once attended a dinner in London with a duke and duchess. He stuck to a traditional black tuxedo. He didn’t want to steal the attention from the duke and duchess. However, he still sported his custom black M.L. Leddy’s dress cowboy boots.
“I want to make a statement with what I am wearing without saying a word. Whether it is a small detail like a lapel pin or socks, or combining colors, textures, and fabrics in a way that distinctively says ‘Asad Dean.’”

Drew Jones Owner, D. Jones Clothier
Style Advice: “What you wear should look intentional.”
D. Jones Clothier was recently chosen by Esquire magazine as “the bespoke clothier of Dallas.” Jones and his team of five wardrobe consultants and seven full-time tailors have one foot in Dallas and another foot in Fort Worth, styling everyone from businessmen to major league baseball players.
After Jones finished college at Texas A&M as a finance major, he “randomly” moved to Beijing working in construction to build the U.S. Embassy. He met a beautiful woman there but realized he needed something to wear to impress her on their first date.
“I was the typical guy who didn’t know what to wear,” Jones said.
He got his first custom suit and fell in love (with the girl and the suit). He later married both.
“It was such a foreign concept for me […] The suit is being made for me, not altered for me, but made for me,” he said. “I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and my head exploded when I had my first suit made.”
An entrepreneurial light bulb then went off in his head when he realized custom clothiers in the U.S. were compromising fine fabrics. He started to put that finance degree to use, traveling all over Europe studying men’s style and taking extensive notes. Within a few years, he would become one of the hottest dressed men in Texas.
For Jones, it’s all about the finest fabric and no shortcuts. It turns out this attention to detail has made him a very successful clothier for major league baseball players like Nelson Cruz, Elvis Andrus, Jurickson Profar and Rougned Odor.

Wilson Franklin Owner, M.L. Leddy’s Style Advice: “Boots go with everything.”
Wilson Franklin’s maternal grandfather is M.L. Leddy, so he grew up representing a family who knew a thing or two about what Texas businessmen like to wear.
He is now the current owner of the famous M.L. Leddy’s in Fort Worth’s historic Northside. A sharp dresser at a young age, as a small boy, he chose to starch his own jeans in admiration of his grandparents’ and parents’ style. The janitor at M.L. Leddy’s picked him up
from school every day and brought him to the store. So it may be by osmosis that Franklin is known as one of Cowtown’s most well-dressed men.
“They taught me to always dress in good taste because that never goes out of style,” he said.
Franklin’s style is classic Texan. Pressed jeans or slacks, a fine sport coat and white starched cotton shirt from Hickey Freeman and Oxxford suiting, with a hat,
and, you guessed it, a pair of handmade M.L. Leddy’s boots. And he almost always wears a custom belt and buckle from M.L. Leddy’s.
I didn’t even know they did that. Even cooler, his store is the only location in the country where you can custom order an Oxxford suit with a Western detail.
The signature detail to his look is a custom-made Holland’s pin he wears on the third button of his shirt. It was designed to wear on a
tie, but his dad, Jim Franklin, requested Holland’s make a different backing to the pin, now coined as the “J.F. back” so it could slip on a button and not pierce the shirt. His dad gifted it to him when he graduated from high school.
“He wears it every day. If he’s not in a swimsuit, he’s wearing it,” wife Martha Franklin said. “It is sentimental because of his parents. It is also a great conversation starter. His father and grandfather both wear
them, but his grandfather wore his on his tie.”
A 5 x 7 black-and-white picture of Franklin with his siblings and mother at the San Angelo rodeo in 1958 has made its rounds. He and his siblings are all dressed in suits custom-made by Leddy’s, completed with neckties, again, designed by his father, Jim Franklin. Wilson Franklin couldn’t help but be born dashing.
Steve Humble
Owner, Squire Shop
Style Advice: “Be yourself — wear what you like or feel the most comfortable in.”
A little more than 20 years ago, Steve Humble opened Fort Worth’s go-to for men’s clothing — if you need something for Father’s Day, then the Squire Shop is your place. He’s your classic Southern boy in his Austen Heller shoes with no socks, pinstriped suit, round tortoise-shell Eyebobs glasses and a perfected pocket square.
Humble’s mom always dressed him well as a young boy, but as he got a little older, he became more conscious of his own style. It made him feel confident to look good in what he was wearing. Once it was time for him to get a job, he got into the business of helping other men look good.
Humble got his start in men's clothing during college, when he worked at Henry’s, a clothing store that started out just selling jeans but evolved into sportswear for the whole family. He spent years there until the company went out of business. He wasn’t sure what else to do afterward. Clothes and people are some of his biggest loves. That’s when he opened his own place.
“I can’t wait for Monday mornings,” Humble said.
Which is why you will always find him in the Squire Shop, where he works alongside his son, Todd Humble. He adores the people almost more than the business. The customers have even become his family.
“It is satisfying to help them feel confident.”

Winston Ley
Co-owner, Pax & Parker
Style Advice: “If you have hesitations about updating your look, make incremental changes – it doesn’t have to be an ‘all-in’ thing. Also, find a good tailor. Properly fitted clothes can elevate even the most basic style.”
Co-owner of the boutique Pax & Parker, Winston Ley caught the style bug when he started working at high-end department store Julian Gold in San Antonio. Ley’s style has an abiding Southern charm with a twist of contemporary. He relies heavily on high-quality staple items and updated classics to create looks that are clean, simple and effortless. But he isn’t afraid to throw on some Trillium beads to pair with his Gold Day-Date Presidential Rolex wristwatch. And his goldendoodle, "Fitz," goes with everything.
“I’m not much of a risk-taker, but I’m willing to adopt a trend if it has some staying power,” Ley said.
His “go-to” look is a welltailored pant that is usually denim or twill, a polished button-down shirt, and a loafer or driver (always sockless) for shoes. He almost always rolls up his pants, too. From there, he layers according to the weather.
He prefers neutral colors yet creates interest with textures and fabrics. Ley knows the latest trends because he researches the industry by following various brands, bloggers, designers and stores on social media, but he commits to staying comfortable.
“I think fashion should always be an extension of your personal brand. If it doesn’t make sense for you, don’t do it. I try to incorporate elements of what I see while working in the industry into my wardrobe but staying true to my ‘brand,’” Ley said.

A team of experts from the University of Texas at Arlington work to combat domestic violence in an unexpected way.
| by Gail Bennison |
Imagine if domestic violence offenders received a warning and coping tools before they had angry outbursts. Imagine the impact this would have on the 3 to 6 million domestic violence victims in the United States.
Someday, an interdisciplinary team, comprised of researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington, hope to have an app for that. They aim to discover an objective way to predict anger in the brain before a person acts on it and develop a smart training tool for those who want to control their emotions.
The cross-collaborative effort integrates researchers from UTA’s Colleges of Engineering, Science, Education and School of Social Work.
An unplanned formation of this diverse team began more than a year ago at a meeting between Electrical Engineering Professor Dr. J.-C. Chiao and School of Social Work Professor Dr. Peter Lehmann.
“Dr. Lehmann was working on a domestic violence case,” Chiao said. “He was wondering, since all of the methods they use are subjective, if there is any way they could assess a domestic violence offender in an objective way–one that a therapist or judge can use to determine how this person is making progress dealing with their emotion. At that time, we started to brainstorm.”
Emotions are difficult to analyze quantitatively, Chiao said, so he reached out to other faculty. The first was Dr. Yuan Bo Peng, Professor of Psychology, College of Science, and a medical doctor with research expertise in neuroscience. Peng and Chiao have worked many years on the study of neural pathways
for chronic pain. They decided to analyze emotions noninvasively from the brain signals and invited Dr. Jodi Tommerdahl, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education to join the team. Her expertise is the utilization of the electroencephalogram (EEG) recording to analyze how humans learn. The team realized that this might become an opportunity to combine engineering and neuroscience to study human behaviors. Lehmann introduced Assistant Professor of Social Work Dr. Anne Nordberg to the team. Her primary interest is criminal justice reform, principally innovative ways to reduce reliance on incarceration. Nordberg educated the team on how humans go through emotions and process anger, which helped the researchers understand how to test human emotions and recruit research volunteers.
At that point, the team hit a snag with a major issue. “The brain signals contain a lot of data,” Chiao said. “If the signals from multiple parts of the brain are broken down into every second to analyze, we are facing a huge amount of data to analyze. With the conventional way of
comparing waveforms, it is very difficult to comprehend the meaning of data in real time.”
So, the team tapped Dr. Shouyi Wang, Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering. His expertise is big data analysis. Wang uses data-mining techniques to correlate data that seem very massive and random into classified and organized features.
UTA awarded a funding grant, which the team used to recruit volunteers. Their project is aligned well with the university’s strategic themes of datadriven discovery, health and the human condition, and sustainable urban communities.
During the laboratory testing, a volunteer wears a skull cap with electrodes.
They are given visual stimuli to see how the volunteers' emotions go through different stages. Some of the stimuli are calming, neutral, or joyful. Some stir frustration or possibly anger. At the same time, the EEG is recorded. “The goal is to determine if the physiological signatures in a human who goes through emotion changes can be identified,” Chiao explained. “Then maybe the team can develop something a person can wear that provides feedback to the person when emotions change. Very often, we get angry for no reason at all so sometimes we don’t know what triggered the anger,” he continued. “Sometimes the anger or frustration
happens very quickly, so what the team wants to do is to design some sort of wearable for the person that they can detect and know what is about to happen and when frustration is about to build up. It would send a message to the person to alert that this emotion is happening.”

Tommerdahl serves as the neuroscientist on the project. She typically works in the neuroscience of language and reasoning. At UTA, she has an EEG lab, where the team can measure the neuro-signals coming from the brain. Because she has the equipment and the expertise, she was a natural member of the project to gather
data. “The way the EEG works is you need to provide some kind of a stimulus at a time zero, and then what an EEG does is to measure the electrical signals that the brain produces in the first two seconds afterward,” Tommerdahl said. “We’re not looking at the development of emotions over time for several minutes. We provide stimuli, and we measure the neural reaction over short periods of time. The volunteer gets the stimuli repeated several times, so then we can average them all together and start getting some meaningful data of how the brain really reacts. We are trying to understand exactly what specific emotions look like on the EEG screen.”

used as a training tool that people with emotional issues can wear to train themselves to calm down or to analyze what types of situations make them angry. This will be beneficial not only to that individual but also to family or friends.
Chiao and his team are recruiting a group of volunteers without knowing if those individuals have anger issues or not as a double-blind study. When they finish the study with conclusive results, those will be published in research journals.
ers are struggling with mental health disorders,” Nordberg said. “The more we can learn about the emotion regulation and dysregulation that is the hallmark of many of those disorders, the better that we can serve our clients. For instance, we know that emotion regulation plays a part in all kinds of psychiatric conditions, so the more we can arm ourselves with knowledge and a variety of interventions, the more possibilities we have to help clients,” she said. “Being a part of this research team, for me, is a chance to get in on the research at a stage that social work normally does not start at, which is trying to sort out what is happening in people’s brains when it comes to emotion regulation and investigating what future interventions could be.”
Nordberg works with a population of former offenders. “I try to avoid that term because it is offensive,” she said. “With those folks, anger and negative emotions get them into all kinds of trouble. In the wrong setting, they end up right back in jail. Among that group of people that I am so familiar with, they don’t want to have these negative emotions that are causing them all kinds of problems. If you give people tools to help control and manage anger, not everyone will use the tools, but some of them might. That’s true of any intervention that we see in a social work setting.”
In their preliminary design, an app will pop up on a smart phone or smart watch to inform the person that he or she is about to get frustrated or angry. Then, it might follow with some music, messages, or a protocol like counting from one to 10, or ‘take a deep breath.’ Responses will be designed for that particular person. This system also can be
The team is not working with offenders at this time. In the future, they hope to work directly with people who have anger outburst issues. That will require collaboration with the courts with new research protocols. At the same time, the team is developing a training tool for people who may want to make themselves better people by controlling their emotions and be happier, Chiao said.
“Many of the people we serve {in social work} as practitioners and research-
“Domestic violence is based in issues of power and control, and until those issues are addressed, offender recidivism will continue to plague the families we see at SafeHaven,” said Kathryn Jacob, CEO and President SafeHaven of Tarrant County.
“SafeHaven is the largest and most comprehensive agency in Tarrant County providing services at no cost to domestic violence victims at two shelters—one in Arlington and one in Fort Worth.
“While we are not a part of the research project at UTA, we do support and encourage any study that would
conversation about offenders in cases of intimate partner violence.”
“Our brain works in a very mysterious way,” Chiao said. “If you are exposed to a positive stimulus, you will start to develop the neuropathways in your brain to become more positive. If we have a tool to make a person realize their own emotions quantitatively – either positive or negative—then maybe we can use this to train the individuals, or the individuals can train themselves to become happier and calmer people. That is the bigger scope of what the team is trying to accomplish.”
Detecting emotion is extremely difficult, and sometimes even the most outgoing person will consciously or subconsciously hide his or her own feelings, Chiao said.
“We have to see beyond that. That is
why we tell people that we only have a preliminary conclusion,” he said. “Does our conclusion apply for everybody? We don’t really know, and we are trying to figure out in the next several years what will be the most objective way to analyze this. At this moment, we want to move forward to make the research a larger scale, so we are trying to figure out from what we already have how we can widen our scope to validate our hypothesis. If we are detecting the emotion response, how do we blend that from the neuroscience point of view from what we understand about the
human brain? Dr. Yuan Bo Peng and Dr. Jodi Tommerdahl have years of experience in understanding how neuropathway works, so they are explaining from the human physiology, trying to figure out why the human responds in a certain way.”
1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence yearly
The team discovered that emotional response is individual. Older volunteers react differently than their younger group. The older volunteers try to control the feeling. “This is an excellent finding for us because now we know what kind of feature we will be trying to look at for
people who have the training to control their anger and who don’t have the training to control their anger,” Chiao said.
“Our next step is trying to figure out how we prioritize different factors so we can identify the signature we are looking for.”
It is difficult to conclude this kind of neuroscience project in a short time, Chiao said. “The team is aiming to discover features from preliminary studies to help the engineer to develop hardware and software that can be used in a more comfortable and convenient way for a larger population of people in order
to collect statistically meaningful data,” he said.
72% of all murder-suicides involve an intimate partner.
94%
Chiao envisions the hardware as something light that a person can put on easily and wear all day. “Our team has been working on flexible devices and better electrodes to detect the signals in a convenient and comfortable way,” he said.

The team also is working on the software development to a prototype stage so the brain signal analysis can be done in a smart portable device.
It turned out that the diverse team members have not only similar research
methodologies but also similar outgoing personalities.
“Our research discussion meetings often are full of laughs and jokes, making a tough research project fun and progress quickly,” Chiao said. “Also, we have regular research meetings, and our students from engineering, education, psychology, and social work working in the same lab. This became an opportunity to fuse multi-disciplinary fields together. So the social work students are learning about high-tech tools; psychology students are learning about big data analysis; and education students are learning about the brain. It became another benefit.
“I think the next generation of engineers, educators, social workers, and psychologists will need to know about the other sides,” he said.

Vendors look to showcase their best in Fort Worth, Texas magazine’s annual Dream Home project
| by Scott Nishimura |
Ask any of our Dream Home vendors why they participate in this annual project, and you get similar answers: it’s an opportunity to put up their best in collaboration with other vendors that are doing the same thing.
Take Scott Pereth, co-owner of Durango Doors in Fort Worth, who’s taken on the job of building the front door for the 6,700-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath transitional Spanish Mediterranean being built by Vesta Custom Homes in Westlake’s Granada development.
“It helps get exposure, and you meet new builders,” Pereth says. “It’s a good fit.” Durango sells a window and door system called Millennium, featuring double-pane glass and big divided lights. In keeping with the style of the home, he plans a door that’s “very contemporary, clean lines,” featuring a “narrow profile, lots of glass.”
Pereth has been in the business since 2002, he started selling out of his car. Today, he and partner Jill Dragonetti sell their custom
doors – they take six to eight weeks to make, and fabrication occurs in Monterrey, Mexico – from a showroom on West Vickery Boulevard in Fort Worth. The two also have a showroom in Houston.
“Business is good,” Pereth says. “If you look at some of the fastestgrowing cities, DFW and Houston are top five.”
Expressions Home Gallery, which has showrooms in southwest Fort Worth and Southlake, is another Dream Home vendor. It put in the appliances for the magazine’s inaugural 2016 Home of Dreams earlier this year in Keller, and it’ll be providing the appliances for the Dream Home.
In the Home of Dreams, Expressions put in the main kitchen appliances, including a Thermador cooktop, and the Whirlpool laundry on the second floor. The Dream Home plan is still coming together, but Expressions’ Kevin Adams says Sub-Zero is probable, with panel fronts. “How clean the lines are going to look, those are some things that we’re still working on,” Adams said.
Expressions, which opened its Southlake showroom a year ago, likes Dream Home showcases for the visibility, said Adams, regional builder sales manager for DFW. “It makes it very easy to get your name out there when you’re associated with something this visible,” he said.
Adams loves keeping up with fast-moving trends in high-end kitchens. More consumers, for example, are moving some appliances out of the kitchens and into neighboring rooms, like mudrooms, pantries, and catering kitchens.
“They’re breaking up the appliance lineup in the kitchen,” Adams said. One sub-trend: the relegation of more freezer space away from the main kitchen. “Now, people are using less freezer in the kitchen because it’s more long-term storage,” he said.
Another trend: steam ovens, which inject steam into the cavity. “It doesn’t transfer flavor, and you can cook all foods at once,” Adams says. For professional people on the go, “it gives you fine dining options every night. The food is so juicy, and it’s got a lot of flavor.”
In the Home of Dreams, he put a microwave behind a drawer in the main kitchen - “it blends right, it doesn’t take up your cabinet space, and you don’t even notice it” – and a double oven in the catering kitchen. The main kitchen had no oven.
Expressions Home Gallery, formerly known as Morrison Supply, will celebrate its 100th year in business next year. Morrison was known for wholesale. “We wanted branding on the retail side, and they came up with Expressions Home Gallery,” Adams says.
The Dream Home is one of 10 that Vesta has under construction in Granada. It’s the only one Vesta is building on spec.
The Dream Home is the latest in the magazine’s long-running annual series, in which top builders and vendors get to show off their best. As is typical, the builder erects the home on spec, teaming with vendors ranging from foundation to framing, roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, insulation, drywall, windows, masonry, gutters, paint, flooring, audio-visual, fire sprinkler, cabinet makers, door and fence makers, lighting and plumbing fixtures, appliances, hardware, and landscaping.
AVID Associates, a Dallas firm, is the interior designer and will handle the decoration. Dona Robinson Associates, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International is the Realtor. The Dream Home, due to be completed late this fall, will be open for tours early next year,
with ticket proceeds benefiting a Wish With Wings, which fulfills wishes for sick children in the area.
Vesta poured the foundation on the Dream Home in July. Amenities will include a game room, media room, entry courtyard, guest casita, outdoor front fireplace and veranda, four-car garage, backyard trellis with pool and grilling area, and a safe room. The floor plan will be open, a transitional style, drawing on the outside to expand the living space and moving away from the Old World look that’s no longer in vogue. “It’s very transitional,” Rich Hudson, one of Vesta’s owners, says. “People don’t want to use the word contemporary.”
Granada, at 84 acres, has 84 single-family luxury homes. The neighborhood is inside the Southlake Carroll school district, but families can also have their children attend Westlake Academy. Homes in the development, off of Solana Boulevard just south of Texas 114 and less than 20 minutes to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, start at $1.2 million.
Vesta was formed by a group of investors in January, making an asset purchase of a previous home builder known as Tresor. Assets included all homes under construction in Granada and Southlake’s luxury Carillon development.
Vesta is under construction today on more than 20 homes. It builds mostly in Southlake and Westlake. It touts a design philosophy of “originality” on each project, assigning designers to work with buyers to customize each home according to the buyer’s budget, wants and tastes.

Junior League of Fort Worth pitches in with cash and volunteers on multiple projects every year
| by Scott Nishimura |
THE JUNIOR LEAGUE IS HAVING ANOTHER BIG YEAR, CONTRIBUTING NEARLY $350,000 TO VARIOUS LOCAL AGENCIES AND SENDING VOLUNTEERS INTO EVEN MORE.
The 2017-2018 year is shaping up to be bigger, with $390,000 projected to be given away by the Junior League, which raises money annually through its Grand Entry
Gala, rodeo program sales, and Christmas in Cowtown gift market at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. The Junior League, in its 87th year, has 1,900 active members and generates more than 50,000 volunteer hours a year.
The Junior League is giving money and volunteers to these organizations for the 2016-2017 year:
SPECIAL PROJECT: Presbyterian Night Shelter, $100,000. New building
for homeless women and their children. The building will house 40 mothers and 120 children in dorm-style rooms. Junior League volunteers assist with a Women’s Empowerment Program, which provides classes focusing on life skills and personal fulfillment opportunities.
ACH CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES, $20,000 to the ACH LIFE (Learning Independence from Experience). The program targets young adults, 18-23, who have aged out of foster care. This population has a high incidence of homelessness and drug and alcohol abuse when no assistance is offered after age 18. The project funds a mentor/life skills program to be presented to female residents by Junior League volunteers.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES, $5,000 to Assessment Center Recreational Outings. The center serves severely abused or neglected children who have been removed from their homes, meeting all immediate needs (food, clothing and shelter) for their first 90 days. Unlike emergency shelters, these children also receive medical, psychological and psychiatric evaluations, and counseling services. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services requires recreational activities but does not fund them. Junior League funds are applied to costs of the outings. Junior League volunteers participate in the outings.
BOYS & GIRLS CLUB TARRANT COUNTY, $50,000 to the Music Clubhouse. To be built in South Fort Worth, it’s the organization’s second in Fort Worth (the first is on the North Side.) The clubhouse provides a safe place for youth ages 10-18 to have access to instruments and free lessons. Volunteers assist with lessons and performances at the Eastside Branch; there’s no requirement that volunteers have musical ability.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES, $4,000 to Mentors & Makeovers. Volunteers serve as career coaches for female participants
enrolled in the agency’s job training programs, many of whom are first-generation college students. The coaches serve as role models, provide professional advice such as resume prep and interview skills, and assist students in building motivation. As participants near the end of the program, volunteers treat female students to a makeover day, including new career clothing for interviews and haircuts.
$10,000 to Better Vision. The foundation provides free vision care and glasses to homeless, indigent and uninsured adults throughout the Metroplex, bringing bi-monthly Saturday clinics to the Como area in connection with ODWIN. Junior League volunteers greet and register patients for the clinics and assist in eyeglass frame selections.
WORTH DROWNING PREVENTION, $30,000 to Safe Swim program. Fort Worth Drowning Prevention Center provides on-deck water safety instruction to children and parents at Forest Park Pool, Westside YMCA, Southwest YMCA, and Marine Park Pool. Texas led the nation in 2012 and 2013 in pool drowning deaths. Junior League funds are being used for volunteer training, volunteer appreciation, participant incentives, instructional materials and tools, and parent/caregiver educational materials. Junior League volunteers assist with registration and instruction and serve as water buddies.
MENT CENTER, $16,500 to Outdoor Learning Stations & Beautification for Early Learning Center. Fortress serves the city’s near Southeast community and operates a preschool that serves children 18 months to four years. Volunteers will assist in building, painting and installation of the outdoor learning stations.
FRIENDS OF FOREST HILL PUBLIC LIBRARY, $40,000 to Level Up! Forest Hill Literacy and the Arts. Most Forest Hill residents attend FWISD schools that feed into Dunbar High School. The dropout rate in Forest Hill is almost 35 percent, compared to the national average of 15. More than 52 percent of the population lives below the federal poverty level. The program, for school-aged children and adults, assesses each individual and develops an individualized program to help that person obtain literacy. The money will enable the library to obtain the software and hardware and provide training. Junior League volunteers mentor the participants.
UNION GOSPEL MISSION, $63,500 to the Children’s Enrichment Program. With the opening of the new Scott Walker Women and Families Building, UGM doubled its population of children. The Junior League has purchased a new 25-passenger bus for the mission, with other money providing uniforms, enrichment activities and
bus maintenance. Junior League volunteers provide tutoring to children on weeknight late afternoons and evenings during the academic school year.
PROGRAMS RECEIVING JUNIOR LEAGUE VOLUNTEER SERVICES IN 2016-17: ACH Child & Family Services Wellness Program for Shelter Youth; Alliance for Children sibling facilitator; American Diabetes Association Camp Aurora; Breakthrough Fort Worth; Cancer Care Services Special Events and Club Care Program; Catholic Charities Assessment Center; Catholic Charities mentors; Center for Transforming Lives Resale & Redesign Store; Child Study Center Jane Justin School; Child Study Center special events; Dean & DeLuca Invitational Golf Tournament at Colonial Will Call Booth; Community Partners of Tarrant County Rainbow Room; Cook Children’s Medical Center; Easter Seals of North Texas Computer Resource Lab; Family Pathfinders; Fort Worth ISD Junior M.I.N.T.S.; Fort Worth Museum of Science & History Family Museum Night and Family Science Festivals; Fort Worth Museum of Science & History STEM Program; Fort Worth Stock Show Guns & Roses Art Program; Fort Worth Teen Court; Girls Inc. of Tarrant County Smart Camp; H.O.P.E.

You
want to double check, but I didn't notice my name on the list. I'm a little disappointed, because I am usually the best-dressed person in all the places I frequent. That's because prior to hitting the nearest Dollar General or Walmart, I always make sure that my pajama top matches the bottoms.
Apparently, Fort Worth, Texas magazine is more impressed with the cosmopolitan look. You know, guys that are familiar with things like duffle coats, a zip-up funnel neck shirt and sleek, slouchy trousers. But frankly, I see nothing wrong with a V-neck T-shirt and a freshly laundered pair of cargo shorts. It also might explain why I'm single. Truth is, I probably have as many clothes as the next guy. And I bought a treadmill for the same reason they did. I ran out of closet space.
But being stylish is not just about clothes. Grooming is equally important these days, particularly hair care. Barber shops have given way to salons, and haircuts can get pretty expensive. We are being told that a good hairstyle can play up your best features and hide your flaws. This, combined with about $20 worth of "product," is supposedly the best way to attract someone romantically. Well, I might as well give it a try. The only reason a woman ever ran her fingers through my hair was because she didn't have a napkin. But a number of stylish guys are just shaving their heads these days. There are some good reasons. You never have to worry about being carded or turning gray. I think it
looks fine, but if you're thinking about it, I wouldn't recommend a headband. Someone might mistake you for a giant stick of roll-on.
Thinking about all this made me curious about men's style and fashion back in the old days. Turns out it was just as important then as it is now. According to a recent article, men's fashion has always been ruled by history and tradition. For instance, in the late 1800s men were slowly coming out of the stodgy Victorian age, which included top hats, pocket watches and walking sticks. Those folks might have had a little problem with crocs and tank tops. But the Georgian
period that preceded it was really weird. Men's fashion included feathers, high heels and panty hose. (Yep. At one time, men actually worried about runs.)
Fashion really took a turn in the 1920s. England, in particular the Duke of Windsor, had a huge influence on the way American men began to dress. You couldn't go wrong with a button-down shirt and argyle socks. In the 1940s and 1950s, individuality gave way to conformity. Check out the movies back then. Every guy pretty much dressed the same. That all changed in the 60s. It was time to rebel, and guys could get by wearing almost any combination. My dad would look at me, shake his head and offer to buy a new light bulb for my closet. The 70s brought on the "disco" look and ties so wide they looked like lobster bibs. But over recent years, styles have become more casual, and these days trends can change in a heartbeat, thanks to the internet and social media.
Now obviously, I'm no fashion guru, but I do think I can offer men a few examples of styles that just flat don't work. In fact, the following "looks" should all but guarantee you a sex-free evening. Embroidered jeans. Hey, stay out of your daughter's closet.
Mesh shirts. You're not a tennis net.
Any pant that can be mistaken for capris. No explanation needed.
Neck tattoos. I get it. You're not paying back your student loans.
Okay, I will admit that my cargo shorts may be past their prime. But my Nehru jacket and bell-bottoms? Trust me. They'll make a comeback.
The applications have been submitted. The employers’ policies, practices, benefits, demographics, and employees’ engagement and satisfaction have been reviewed. The November 2016 issue of FW Inc. will reveal the 20 top-rated companies. These winning companies will be recognized, and the top five will be revealed live at the Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth awards luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 9th.

“WHY WOULD ANYONE NOT WANT TO COME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON? It is a remarkable university. It’s known for its innovation. It’s known for its dedicated faculty, and it’s known for its tremendous students. It is the urban flagship. It is the model 21st century university. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be president of UTA.”
An interesting and spirited conversation with Dr. Vistasp Karbhari, the eighth president at The University of Texas at Arlington, leaves no doubt as to his immense pride in the university he has served since June 2013.
When Karbhari first looked at the opportunity to accept the position at UTA, there were three things that stood out in his mind, he said.
“It’s a university that is geographically located at the center of a metropolitan area that is growing in both economic strength and regarding population,” he said. “How many universities have the opportunity to have such a great impact on the future of a metropolitan area? At the current rate of growth, we probably will be a mega-city of 10 million within the next decade or 15 years at the maximum. Our faculty is working on the issues that most mega-cities have to face: transportation, water supply, the inequities between rich and poor, social services, and education. The impact that we could have on this community, and its ability to not have the same problems as other mega-cities across the globe, is a huge opportunity,” he said.
The second reason, said Karbhari, is UTA’s innovative approach to reaching greater numbers of students, “re-envisioning what the university of the future should be, rather than focusing on the university of the past,” he said. “UTA cares about the mission of what I call urban flagship, if you will, trying to focus on the population that we serve.”
The third reason was the diversity and talent in the student population. “You walk around campus today, and you take a photograph,” Karbhari said. “You show it to someone else, and to them, it will appear to be posed, because you will capture people from different ethnicities that speak different languages, yet they are a cohesive student body.”
Karbhari served previously at three universities: the University of Delaware, where he received his Ph.D. and stayed on as a faculty member; University of California San Diego, where he spent most of his career; and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, which is a research university focused on science and technology.
Karbhari is a prolific researcher, scholar and inventor. He holds one patent and has served as principal investigator or co-principal investigator on more than $37 million in research projects.
In Feb. 2015, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education named UTA in the elite group of R-1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity. UTA joined a distinguished group of 115 institutions, private and public, including Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins.
“This is an important classification because it looks across the entire university,” Karbhari said. “It’s focused on all of our degrees, and it’s a testament to the wonderful work being done by our faculty. For us, it means a lot, not just to be good at engineering or science, but to be good across the board in trying to bring a research focus. Research and teaching, at least in my mind, are the same side of the coin. You cannot be a top-notch university today if you do not have the very best teachers that will educate our next generation of leaders. You cannot do that without being active in research, scholarship and creative activity.”
Karbhari emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research, for which the university has established opportunities for faculty to collaborate, including seed grants.
“Most of the research and the advances even in knowledge are not within a single discipline,” Karbhari said. “By getting the faculty to collaborate, we are making such fabulous leaps and bounds, in not only changing the knowledge that we have but also the application of that knowledge. It’s just wonderful hearing about the work they are doing and the enthusiasms that they bring, and the impact that they are going to have by tackling topics as an interdisciplinary team.”
As to his management style, Karbhari said: “I am data-oriented, one who very much wants to be sure that we plan and know why we are doing certain things. It is an atmosphere where we all have to be driven to do the very best that we can, but we all have to depend on each other. So, as a style of management, it’s basically getting the right people in place and trying to stay out of their way. I believe I have a very strong leadership team.”
President Karbhari and his wife Lisa live in Arlington with Gabriella, their beloved German Shepherd Dog.

Let’s take a close look at our own Fort Worth area where we find ourselves surrounded by the allure of an ecologically diverse portfolio of many natural landscape vistas as well as the artistry and grace of many “designed” urban areas, parks, buildings & homes. Great cities like Fort Worth don’t just happen and neither do great landscapes & gardens-they require careful planning using a design process matched with a team of skillful builders. No matter the scale of the landscape, whether it be as regional as Fort Worth or as speci c as your personal property, good landscape design is indispensable; even if done all at once or in stages. So let’s delve into a discussion of the monetary bene ts & de nition of a professional landscape design plan, the design process, and answers to a few most common questions asked by our clients.
Many homeowners may feel that a good landscape design plan & execution is not necessary, nor realize the importance of starting the design process during architectural drawing, renovations or pre-construction of their home. We can rst tackle the concern of whether or not having a landscape
design plan is worth the investment. A recent study by Trulia (RealEstate.com) points out that a home with a well-executed landscape & hardscape can deliver a return on investment as high as 150%, an ROI that puts it ahead of popular home improvement projects. Furthermore, in 2015, an article written by The Washington Post interviewed John Gidding, host of HGTV’s Curb Appeal, who said, “On a Curb Appeal project, I put in $20,000 and the sellers got $200,000 more than they had paid for the house just a year prior. The return was astonishing.” Giddings continued, “I would not say that every $20,000 gets you $200,000. It depends on if you are investing your money well. The best strategy is to research the architectural style of your home and create a landscape design plan that matches.” Let it be known that the original ROI study found the only efficacious achievement of ROI was with hiring a professional landscape designer
drawings showing a speci c vision for the site, to a detailed construction plan that the homeowner or a contractor can use to create the entire project. A landscape plan should take into account soil conditions, drainage, area usage, materials desired, sun, shade, slope, level of maintenance desired and other factors and is arrived at by undergoing a design process.
Depicted site features are clearly discerned using good graphic techniques and created with the local landscape in mind replicating it at a micro-scale. Visual methods can be used such as perspective renderings, virtual 3-D models, and graphic y through modeling.
When you work with a quali ed landscape designer to achieve such, there is a formal eight step process to follow. This process is used to aid both the homeowner and designer to arrive at the ideal goal to be achieved for the property, providing solution based designs, and setting proper expectations.
Now we can explore exactly what a landscape design plan is. Such a plan can range from a concept design providing various ideas about what to do with your property, to master plan

Dad wasn’t doing well. His doctor suggested VITAS Healthcare. We resisted—wasn’t it too soon for hospice? But VITAS came to the house, got to know Dad, and we all talked about what was important to us. Finally, Dad’s comfortable. We all are. Dad is smiling; he has more energy. And VITAS is helping us make the most of this gift of time together.

Ident ity, through Oct. 9
Identity explores how identity in American culture is often as much about how people present themselves to the world as it is externally determined. Exploring community, celebrity, and individual identity through portraiture from the Amon Carter’s permanent collection, the exhibition highlights the exciting new acquisitions of Sedrick Huckaby’s The 99% and Glenn Ligon’s print series Runaways. Whereas Huckaby engaged with and depicted 101 members of his neighborhood to uncover how their individual personalities were reflective of a larger community identity, Ligon explored the notion that individual identity is often culturally determined. Their works—in combination with prints and photographs of and by public figures such as Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe, statesman Martin Luther King Jr., and painter Georgia O’Keeffe—show the various personas individuals adopt. Together, these portraits represent the fluid and constantly shifting role of identity in society from the 20th to the 21st century.

KAWS : Where the End Starts, Oct. 20, 2016 – Jan. 22, 2017
Organized by Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth curator Andrea Karnes, in close collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist KAWS
(American, born 1974), this presentation will feature key paintings, sculptures, drawings, toys, and street art interventions to examine KAWS’s prolific career in depth, revealing critical aspects of his formal, conceptual, and collaborative developments over the last 20 years. Spanning the worlds of graffiti, pop art, and consumer culture, KAWS’s bodies of work are highly charged, each conveying his underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times, as well as his agility as an artist. He has primarily looked to and appropriated from pop-culture animations (including The Smurfs, The Simpsons, SpongeBob, HannaBarbera, and Peanuts) to form his artistic vocabulary for his paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Now well known for his largerthan-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS’s cast of hybrid cartoon/human characters, with similarities to popular cartoon figures and logos like Mickey Mouse and the Michelin Man, are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. These figures have amicable names—Chum, Companion, Accomplice— and express and provoke an array of human emotions, from sad, overwhelmed, pathetic, and weary, to shy. They reflect feelings and situations we can empathize with in presentations that are balanced with humor, heartening in their cartoon aesthetic. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. 3200 Darnell St. themodern.org. 817.738.9215. No Turning Back : The Art of Veryl Goodnight, through Oct. 30
Showing in the Anne W. Marion Gallery will be “No Turning Back: The Art of Veryl Goodnight.” This exhibit will include around 15 sculptures and 11 paintings.

Legacy, through May 2017
Legacy depicts the clash of cultures of the 19th century American West during westward expansion. The interactions among diverse peoples, cowboys, soldiers, explorers and indigenous Americans were themes that occupied artists Frederic Remington (1861-1909), Charles M. Russell (1864-1926) and their contemporaries throughout their careers. Those conflicts continue to impact life in America today and may be some of the most significant legacies of the era of westward expansion. In 42 dynamic paintings, Legacy reunites familiar works from the Richardson collection painted between 1880 and before 1942 by Remington and Russell with rarely seen paintings by their contemporaries. Three bronzes, two by Remington and one by Russell, and a Russell painting are on loan from a private collection.

SANDWICHED BETWEEN A BEAUTY PRODUCT SUPPLIER AND EMBROIDERY SHOP, DAGWOODS’ UNDERSTATED STOREFRONT IS EASY TO MISS, but its local craft beers and upscale sandwich offerings are definitely worth a trip off the beaten path.
Located on the outskirts of Ridgmar Mall, Dagwoods Grinders and Growlers isn’t the sort of sandwich shop customers are likely to stumble upon while running errands, even if you live in west Fort Worth. When I first visited Dagwoods, I tried to remember the last time I’d been in the area, and it had been a few years. Despite its lackluster location, Dagwoods has attracted a loyal following
since it opened about a year ago (unlike its sibling Dagwoods Fire Grill Tap on Foch, which shuttered after less than six months). Any apprehension I felt before walking into Dagwoods disappeared once inside.
The shop is small, but the vibe is relaxed and fun. Floor-to-ceiling chalkboards along one wall list sandwiches, sides and daily specials, and chalkboards above the bar list the (mostly) Texas beers on tap. Mounted stag heads decorate the wall, and customers can snag a stool to eat or drink a brew at the bar or along one of two communal bar-height tables.
Grabbing a late dinner with friends on a weeknight, we found the atmosphere lively but not crowded. If you’re lucky, Eddie will greet you with his enthusiastic refrain “Welcome to Dagwoods!” from behind the bar when you walk through the door, then offer you a sample of whichever beer catches your fancy.
My favorite thing about the menu at Dagwoods is that you’ll see a lot of

Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 10:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m., Fri. 10:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., Sat. 11 a.m. - 10 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
What We Liked: A great option for the gluten sensitive, Dagwoods has GF bread and ciders on tap.
What We Didn’t: Since it appears the website hasn’t been updated in a while, we recommend giving the restaurant a call with any questions about the menu or hours of operation.
Our Recommendations: Craft beer fans should definitely visit on Growler Tuesday, when refills on Dagwood-branded growlers are 25 percent off.
unique takes on familiar sandwiches. The grilled cheese ($9) includes tri tip and charred poblanos, and one of my favorites, the BLT ($9), includes an herby aioli and burrata cheese.
For starters, I suggest a cup of the beer cheese soup ($3). Made with Rahr Pale Ale and rich Gouda cheese, the soup has
a slow heat, thanks to the addition of yellow bird sauce and piquillo peppers, and is topped with smoky bacon, goat cheese and thyme.
For your first visit, try The Dagwood ($12), a decadent steak sandwich made with charred Akaushi tri tip accompanied by beefsteak tomato, blue cheese crumbles, crispy leeks, smoked rosemary aioli, and an over-medium fried egg on grilled sourdough. Or if you are more of a seafood lover, try the firecracker shrimp po’boy ($11) with fried shrimp and remoulade on a Cuban hoagie, which has a kick, and the shrimp is made with a tender breading of both flour and cornmeal.
Dagwoods has several flavors of potato chips to accompany your meal, or opt for a side of potato salad, cabbage slaw or mac and cheese.
The only disappointment of the evening turned out to be dessert. A couple of regulars recommended the Lakewood Temptress Toffee TX Bourbon Cake, so we decided to give it a try. Served in a pool of sweet liquid toffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the cake was not as moist as I expected, and I found the whole dish overly sweet.
Of course, who needs sweets when you have brews? Dagwoods’ regulars know they can buy a growler or bring their own to fill with 64 ounces of their favorite Texas ale. Whether it’s subs or suds that strike your fancy, Dagwoods’ artisanal offerings and attention to detail are sure to please.

M&O Station Grill offers a nostalgic bite of Fort Worth’s past and possibly the best burgers in town.

OWNED AND OPERATED BY CHEF DANNY AND HIS WIFE, ROSE BADILLO, M&O STATION GRILL IS A RETRO DINER NEXT DOOR TO LEONARD’S DEPARTMENT STORE MUSEUM. The Badillos are hands-on restaurant owners, and Chef Danny has more than 38 years of food industry experience.
I discovered this hidden gem as I was killing time one afternoon
after dropping my car at a nearby mechanic. Stepping through the door is like traveling back to the 1950s. Vintage Formica tables are bordered with vinyl and metal chairs, and a soft glow is emitted from old neon signs hanging on the walls.
While M&O was put on the map because of its creative gourmet burgers, it also dishes up sandwiches, soups and large salads. You won't leave hungry.
After ordering at the counter from one of the friendly owners, I had time to explore the adjoining museum. The M & O in the restaurant’s name stand for Marvin and Obadiah (Obie) Leonard, owners of the historic Leonard Brothers' Department Store that once took up six blocks of downtown Fort Worth. Their store had the first independently owned subway system, hence the station in the name.
Aromas from the grill pulled me back to my table where I was pleased to find the first of my lunch items. If you’re going for a mid-day splurge, you might as well do it right. Nothing screams for an ice cream treat like a burger joint. The old-fashioned homemade strawberry milkshake ($4) at M&O is a dream and served with just a dash of cinnamon.
My Avocado Sister Salad ($9) arrived next. It was an artistic presentation of baby spring mix, crumbled Feta, purple onions, wedge tomatoes, diced avocado and mixed berry vinaigrette. Ingredients were fresh, and the sweet dressing was made in-house. Add grilled chicken or salmon if you want to make it a meal.
There was a stint about a decade ago where I tried the whole vegetarian thing. That was swiftly terminated with a trip to M&O Station Grill and the irresistible temptation of the “award-winning” Bleu Cow Burger ($12).
Two loosely formed patties are topped with a heap of blue cheese and two slices of smoky, crispy bacon. A griddle sauce adds a sweetness complementing the tartness of the cheese, and the meat had a nice sear and was juicy. Traditional trimmings of iceberg lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh. My only complaint about this carnivore’s dream was the bun. The messy burger eventually gave way before it could be completely devoured.
At an additional cost, burger add-ons include an extra meat patty, bacon, fried egg, grilled onions, roasted jalapenos, green chili sauce and sliced avocado.
To keep my burger company, I ordered a side of the Hand-Cut Fries ($1.50). The generous portion of good-and-greasy potatoes was fresh out of the fryer with a golden crispy outside and hot tender inside. They were well-seasoned and acted as efficient tools for transporting the house-made Chipotle Ketchup to my eager taste buds.
With those last few bites and a final sip from the shake, my trip down memory lane was over. M&O provided a savory snapshot into Fort Worth’s past and left me stuffed with good food and pride in my city.
Location: 200 Carroll St. For Info: 817.882.8020, bestburgerfortworth.com
Prices: $ - $$
Hours: Mon. – Sat. 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
What We Liked: Homemade sauces and quality ingredients. What We Didn’t: The bun gave way before the burger could be finished.
Our Recommendations: The shakes and fries are a burger’s best friends.
Cuvee Pumpkin Latte, Martin House Brewing Company
It's not too early for beer or too late for coffee with Martin House Brewing Company's Cuvee Pumpkin Latte, available this fall. Made with Austin's Cuvee Coffee, the beer is 5.2 percent ABV and can be purchased as a four-pack. To make the product, Martin House started with beer containing 300 pounds of pumpkin in the mash and then added milk, sugar and pumpkin spice to the boil. After fermenting the beer with vanilla, Martin House turns the entire fermenter into a cold brew coffee tank where Cuvee Brazil Fazenda Pantano Coffee is added, resulting in a product that tastes just like fall. Available at Central Market, Whole Foods, Kroger and Total Wines. Visit Martin House Brewing's website for a full list of retailers.

THIS QUEEN ANNE-STYLE DESIGNATED HISTORICAL HOME, KNOWN AS THE GARVEY HOUSE, SITS AT 769 SAMUELS AVE. ON A SPECIAL LOT ON THE TRINITY RIVER JUST SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN. “Vacant and spooky” as Brian Luenser describes it, he took this photo late on a Friday evening in anticipation of a stormy weekend. The property was deeded to Lula and William Garvey in the early 1880s by Lula’s parents, who lived next door. The street’s namesake, Baldwin Samuel, was Lula’s grandfather.
“The Garveys both died in April 1915 and were buried at Oakwood Cemetery,” says Luenser, who has a special knowledge of this home. “Their graves can be seen from the upper windows of this old house, meaning their graves can also see this house.”
Keller residents Andrew and Stephanie Fuller spend ample time on the move. Andrew is a real estate and insurance professional with RE/MAX Heritage - The Nystrom Team and Farmers Insurance Agency, and Stephanie, a physician with Texas Health Resource Hospital system. Whether they’re traveling to and from work, volunteering at church or traveling with their girls, ages 3 and 1, the Fullers get where they are going by driving a Lexus from Park Place Lexus Grapevine. The Fullers currently own a 2014 Lexus IS250 F Sport and 2016 Lexus GX460 and say they “love driving the IS around town, and the GX is perfect for trips.”
About the Lexus plush accommodations, Andrew says: “The layout of the interior of both
the IS and the GX are well-thought-out. The style of the IS is the perfect blend of sports car and sedan. The GX is the perfect-size SUV. The third row is great when needed, and the back door opens to the side. We love both vehicles!”
Repeat customers, the Fullers rave about the Park Place Lexus Grapevine dealership’s “amazing customer service.” Andrew says, “They are customer-centered, efficient with time, and cater to business professionals.” He says, “Integration of technology to increase efficiency in customer service” makes a unique customer experience. “And we really like our sales guy, Mike Smith. He knows how to take care of people!”
