LOCAL LIMELIGHT

COOKING WITH CHEF GA R T H A N D A M Y FOR YEARS CHEF GARTH BLACKBURN AND AMY KUSHNIR HOSTED THE POPULAR TASTE TEXAS TELEVISION SHOW ENTERTAINING VIEWERS WITH THEIR WIT, CHARM AND CULINARY SKILLS. The two channeled that art for entertaining into their unique in-person Uptown Farmhouse dinner experience. But when COVID-19 hit, dinners were put on hold, and Amy and Garth turned to virtual entertaining once again. The two now are serving up food and fun through their free online cooking classes on their Uptown Farmhouse Facebook page. The next weekly classes will be held Oct. 27, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 to help viewers plan their Thanksgiving feast. Though they love entertaining in person, the couple are embracing this new opportunity to connect with others and grow their community. “Everything came to a halt in March. (Uptown Farmhouse) Dinners and in-person cooking classes. At first, I think we thought, ‘Oh, this will pass. We just need to get through May.’ Then June, July, August, September … and here we are still waiting. Like the rest of the world,” Amy says. “You know, life does not go as planned. And some of the most beautiful things come out of people who accepted, embraced and ran with plan B. So, for me, I’m finally accepting, embracing and running with plan B. We still don’t know when we will host our large dinners again,” she says. “It’s been disappointing to miss out on all the gatherings and serving people as they connect with each other. But this has pushed us faster

into the online opportunity to connect with even more people,” Garth says. “We’ll still do dinners in the future but want to wait until we can truly gather people at the table in close proximity for a powerful experience.” The couple held their first on class in August, and since then, their

plan b has proven to be a resounding success, which Garth attributes to Amy’s online expertise. “Amy has always been super savvy when it comes to online and social media presence,” Garth says. “The response has been great! We’ve had so many people loving, sharing and reaching out to us. It’s the next best thing to a big gathering at a farm dinner but even more educational and entertaining. For our first show, our reach was short of 1,000 I believe, which is huge for a preliminary run,” Garth says.

HOT SPOT

NEW RESTAURANT IS A LOVE LETTER TO TEXAS

Cross Timbers Lifestyle | October 2020

ARTICLE JANE KRZYSIAK | PHOTOGRAPHY NICK ALLEN PHOTOGRAPHY

1845 Taste Texas JOHN STEINBECK FAMOUSLY SAID, “TEXAS IS A STATE OF MIND. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.” 1845 Taste Texas, the new Lakeside upscale steakhouse and hot spot being raved about all over, not only serves up a fabulous dining experience, but restaurateurs Alan Mann and Marty Bryan have written a love letter to our great state with their latest collaboration. The restaurant name itself – 1845 - pays homage to the year, as Marty likes to say, “Texas annexed the rest of the United States.” Designed Like Dallas. Tastes like Fort Worth. This perfect mix is apparent the moment you walk through the doors and take in the gorgeous black, white, navy and gold decor. Your five senses will be engaged in a way that elevates your dining experience. From the richness of the elegant velvet booths to the softer lighting and artwork that includes the regal Sir Loin watching over all patrons with his “Eyes of Texas” - no detail has been spared thought. Even the music being played has been meticulously chosen to incorporate only Texas born musicians across all genres and multi-generational in nature. 1845 Taste Texas is a modern steakhouse that expertly delivers classic, Cameron 44 Farms quality filets, and ribeyes, but will further engage your senses with new favorites such as the 30 oz smoked pork chop finished over an open flame and glazed with a spicy plum sauce. Compart pork belly is enveloped by a uniquely Texan Dr. Pepper glaze and Lockhart fried quail also is part of the eclectic Texan menu. Chicken fried steak is a popular dish along with blackened redfish and several salads and sandwiches. Signature cocktails hold their own with a nod to Clyde Barrow and Jim Bowie, among other Texas icons. The first a Western Son’s blueberry vodka, lemon, red wine and blueberries libation is sure to become as wanted as its namesake. The second cocktail is as stately as the Alamo hero himself with Oak & Eden Rye, grapefruit, agave, jalapeños and rosemary. The cocktails are refreshing and carefully formulated to appeal to any taste and the beer and wine list will more than satisfy.

The 1845 menu has been carefully curated and local partners chosen who share a passion and vision similar to Marty and Alan’s own. Texas distilleries and 44 Farms out of Cameron, among others, have proven to be successful partners. Marty explains, “We serve food with integrity. Our goal is to put the best possible meal on the plate.” You may notice that salt and pepper are not on the tables and rarely does a patron request them. According to Alan, this is a reflection that, “The food is perfectly seasoned and prepared.” The key is buying the best ingredients available and preparing them in a savory and thoughtful way sure to delight the taste buds. The meats are organic – hormone and antibiotic free, humanely raised and only fed an all-natural diet. Marty reflects, “Every restaurant must have a story. 1845 Taste Texas is authentic Texas. We want people to feel welcome and comfortable and that coming into the restaurant is an experience.” Often guests are celebrating a milestone or want to enjoy a special evening. 1845 delivers on every level – the food, the music, the décor. The restaurant also has two private rooms with WIFI and large screen TVs that seat up to 40 each or a combined 90, a terrific option for holiday outings, corporate dinners, engagement parties and the like. Alan and Marty attribute the success they have enjoyed to date to the team they have built. Marty maintains, “Our people have a culture advantage. Some have worked with us over the years. We hire the right people and help them create and add value.” In addition, as owners, the duo have worked tirelessly to support and protect their team and customers particularly during COVID concerns. They’ve invested in special cleaning processes and supplies, but most importantly they meet folks where they are and do it in a way that does not disrupt their ability to serve their guests well. If you are ready to check out 1845, while they do not take reservations, they do accept “call aheads” to put you on the list. If it’s a Thursday through Saturday ask for the patio where live music is also on menu. Prepare to be wowed and then thank all the stars in the Texas sky that 1845 Taste Texas calls Lakeside home. 2401 Lakeside Pkwy, Flower Mound Hours: Monday - Thursday 4pm -10pm Friday & Saturday 4pm -11pm Sunday 4pm-9pm https ://www.1845tex.com/ CityLifestyle.com/CrossTimbers

Once completed, brush all of the remaining marinade over the skewers. 7. Place the kabobs & the lemon halves on the grill & cook the kabobs 4 minutes per side or until done. Leave the lemons cut side down during the entire grilling. 8. Once you take the kabobs off the grill, immediately squeeze the lemon juice all over the kabobs & sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. 26

CREATIVE ELEMENTS OWNER LUCIE HASEK SAYS THERE IS A PERFECT COUNTERTOP FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE ARTICLE STEPHANIE HASBROUCK PHOTOGRAPHY SARAH LINDEN PHOTOGRAPHY

FROM FANCY TO FUNCTIONAL AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, THERE IS A PERFECT COUNTERTOP FOR EVERY HOME. Lucie Hasek, owner of Creative Elements, has remodeled many kitchens and knows a thing or two about matching the perfect countertop to each client. “It’s very important, because each family functions so differently,” Lucie says. “Most of the time, families with kids want an easy-maintenance kind of countertop … Some, on the other hand, may be empty nesters that finally have the chance to remodel or build their dream home. They may want something a little more glamourous and are often willing to

have a little more maintenance with some of the natural stone choices,” she says. “It really just boils down to lifestyle.” Depending on the homeowner’s lifestyle, Lucie recommends quartzite, quartz, granite and marble countertops. Quartzite, she says, is one of the strongest materials available. “It’s definitely harder than granite and it withstands heat very well.” In addition, she says, it’s aesthetically pleasing. “Its natural beauty is absolutely stunning. It’s quite pricey, so we don’t get to install it as often,” she says. Because it’s a natural stone, quartzite requires annual

maintenance and a proper daily cleaner. Quartz, on the other hand, is extremely low maintenance, Lucie says. “It’s perfect for kitchens with kids and lots going on.” Because it is man-made, it most often has a modern appearance with intentional clean lines and not as much movement as natural stone. Granite is another favorite of Lucie’s – because of its durability and uniqueness. “It still amazes me that we mine stone out of quarries and carefully mill and polish it to look so amazing. The veining shows all sorts of history, how the stone was formed over hundreds of years,” she says. CONTINUED >

Granite can be honed or brushed to bring out its texture. “These techniques also allow for the sealer to soak deeper into the stone and make it a little easier on the maintenance.” Marble countertops are an option for those who favor beauty over practicality. “That beauty, however, also comes at a cost,” Lucie says. “They can be very expensive and very finicky. They can scratch, etch and chip quite easily. I do not like to install marble in kitchens, especially if I know there will be lots of activity.” Lucie says homeowners don’t have to commit to just one countertop. “It is not uncommon to mix, for example, a more solid color of quartz and possibly a more ‘veiny’ granite or quartzite,” she says. Before making any decisions, Lucie says, homeowners should seek help from an experienced designer. “I would highly recommend interviewing a few professionals and finding one that you connect with and one that understands your lifestyle and the vision you are trying to achieve,” she says. “Try not to get discouraged and keep your focus on the end result. It will be beautiful!” For more information about Creative Elements, visit CreativeElementsbyLucie.com. 34

Go to the “dark side” with this design that requires matte black paint, white paint, some metallic paint (for an out-ofthis-world vibe) and some newspapers. Be careful—this one could get messy!

Leave your stems natural or cover with metallic paint if desired. Then, coat your mini pumpkins in matte black paint— be sure to cover everything!

You can leave some matte black, but for an extra touch, lay out newspaper and splatter your white paint onto some of your black pumpkins. Bonus—as long as you catch it before it dries, any paint should be easily removed with some warm water.

DIY (CONTINUED)

Start with several mini pumpkins. (We prefer to use fake ones so you don’t have to worry about leaving them out too long!) You’ll also need some white paint, metallic paint and black paint. Twine is optional to add a slightly rustic vibe to the stems.

Paint all of the stems with black paint and wrap some with twine if desired. Then, create several different looks with combinations of metallic and flat paint. Make extra creepy “oozing” pumpkins by allowing paint to run down the sides.

Don’t feel limited to solid colors! Experiment here with different patterns and textures (like painting over lace or using a sponge to apply paint instead of a brush), and add some extra sparkle with glitter!
