in the world

Going Global According to the Chinese lunar calendar, 2018 (a.k.a. “Year of the Dog”) will bring energy and action over the next year. The prediction remains accurate thus far, especially here in North Texas, where, as you'll see in this issue, the hustle-and-bustle never stops. The cure? A trip east of ordinary to a true hidden gem in North Texas.

90 MINUTES IN:

Here, located on the grounds of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, is a 7.5-acre oasis teeming with Japanese maple trees, magnolias, winding walkways, Koi ponds and bamboo. Although a preferred locale of portrait photographers and wedding planners, the beauty of the Fort Worth Japanese Garden needs no occasion to be appreciated.

It remains one of the bestkept secrets in the Metroplex.

From the annual Chinese New Year celebration in the Dallas Arts District (p. 8) to chefmade sushi that's said to bring prosperity and good fortune (p. 17), Eastern influences are apparent throughout DallasFort Worth's cultural fabric.

And because January always marks the return of the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, it's only appropriate we tip our (cowboy) hats to another Asian-inspired Texas treasure.

the difference to be an intangible quality—love, safety, attach-

ment—but for most, what essentially distinguishes the latter from the former is stuff we put in it.

The one-story bungalow where Ken Downing and longtime partner, Sam Saladino, have lived for more than 15 years, comprises an expansive collection of blue-chip art as well as works by local and emerging talent; sentimental heirlooms; with antique furniture, consigned pieces and flea market finds. An eclectic mix of artwork and coffee table books fills the spacious living room, where natural light pours in from the floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight the lush, green foliage outside.

There’s a small sculpture in the garden that also came with the house, and was said to have belonged to the original owner.

According to Downing’s grandmother, from whom he inherited his innate sense of style, interior art and wall décor (or a lack thereof) could be especially telling of one’s personality.

“Empty walls made her nervous,” said Downing, senior vice president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus. A native of Seattle, he moved to Los Angeles in the early ‘80s and started his career with the Dallas-

might immediatelly assume. He travels with a worn leather Coach duffel that he wouldn’t trade for anything, and recharges from long weeks with quiet weekends at their lake house, another impeccably designed renovation with a decidedly California-in-the-‘70s vibe.

Unpretentious yet sophisticated, the historic Oak Cliff home is certainly indicative of the owners’ passion for art collecting, from the outdoor sculptures on the deck and in the garden to the paintings in the foyer and the living room to the large photographic prints in the bedroom.

“Ken has a distinct taste level, but he’s also someone that can put together very disparate elements and make it all work,” Saladino said.

“I think what we do really well together is edit,” Saladino said. “I think that I help to temper sometimes ... if he’s getting a little too exuberant,” Saladino said.

The original construction, completed in 1956, remains almost completely intact, with the exception of the ceilings and updated lighting fixtures. The statement chandelier in the corner of the living room, for example, Downing fished out from a flea market, then reassembled it by hand.

“I’m a Virgo,” Downing said when asked about his attention to detail, a trait common of the astrological sign. (CoCo Chanel was a Virgo; Karl Lagerfeld is, too.) But according to his mother, Downing began exhibiting his knack for visual composition around the age of four.

“We’ve always believed in preservation, but to go to a city like Detroit and do it is more important because of the social impact,” Saladino said. This time around, the Detroit house will blend their “modern sensibility” with pieces from the turn of the century when FROM LEFT: PAIGE DAVENPORT, JAIMIE SIEGLE, PAIGE DAVENPORT

the mansion was built.

“Ken’s always had his mind a (dare I say) Victorian style that mixes modern with vintage; the Detroit house is going to be the apex of that combination.” For Downing, who said making progress on the Detroit project was a goal for 2018, allows this passion for art and history to translate to his role at Neiman Marcus.

“I have an appreciation for the past that allows me to help move fashion forward. I don’t think we have to live in the past, but I like when we can harken back to it, refresh it and make it relevant for how we live today.”

This mantra can be applied to fashion as it can to architecture, real estate or socioeconomic trends. This season, Downing is looking forward to modern interpretations of ‘80s trends and attitudes inspired by the punk rock and new wave movements.

The Spirits of Texas Texas is the land of plenty: plenty of space, plenty of proud people, and now, plenty of whiskey. The hot Texas air does magical things with the amber liquid that isn’t seen in whiskies from other regions, and Texans are taking full advantage. Because, after all, everything is bigger in Texas—and its robust spirits are no exception.

HERMAN MARSHALL North Texas duo Herman Beckley and Marshall Louis opened this Dallas County distillery nearly a decade ago.

They began crafting oak-barreled whiskeys made with the best raw materials they could find back in 2008, and have garnered multiple awards and fans throughout the state. Don’t miss their Temptress Single Malt—a unique whiskey infused with Temptress Milk Stout from a nearby brewery—that remains an office favorite.

803 Shepherd Drive, Garland, dallasdistilleries.com BALCONES DISTILLING This quintessential Texas distillery has seen some tumult, but is putting out a great product ever since it opened in 2008. With more than 200 awards earned for its spirits, Balcones is an in-demand, nationally known brand in whiskey haunts from Dallas to New York City. Balcones’ ever-popular Baby Blue, made from roasted heirloom blue corn, is part of their core line, but the distillery’s creative bottles and limited releases are worth looking out for.

225 South 11th St., Waco, balconesdistilling.com RANGER CREEK BREWING & DISTILLING This South Texas distillery is coupled with a brewery, giving them a range of products to keep us on our toes.

Brilliantly, this distillery offers most of its spirits in a 375mL bottle, giving the consumer the chance to try more products without the steep investment of a full bottle. Keep an eye out for their Small Caliber .44 Rye, one of their truly unique expressions.

4834 Whirlwind Drive, San Antonio, drinkrangercreek.com

RED RIVER WHISKEY This distillery is turning out five different expressions from a Single Barrel Bourbon to a Bourbon Cream Liqueur.

Something else we love about this whiskey? A portion of every sale goes toward the Native Texas Wildlife Conservation. 217 West Division Street, Pilot Point, redriverwhiskey.com KOOPER FAMILY WHISKEY CO. Located near Austin in Dripping Springs, this family-owned distillery appeared on the local scene in 2015 with their Kooper Family Rye. It has since gained popularity thanks to its delightful expression that’s billed as the only rye coming from central Texas. While it’s sourced, they hope to open a full distillery in the coming years. Until then, we’re happy enough with the unique spirit to wait it out.

31560 Ranch Road 12 #211, Dripping Springs, kooperfamily.com FIRESTONE & ROBERTSON Another North Texas twosome, Leonard Firestone and Troy Robertson, bonded over a love of whiskey and decided to turn their passion into their profession. The company started out with its slightly sweet TX Blended Whiskey, but the latest debut is F&R’s Texas Straight Bourbon, a beautifully made liquid that garnered such high demand that it was nearly impossible to get for months after its release.

The distillery also found a new home at Whiskey Ranch: the largest whiskey distillery east of the Mississippi River, nestled on a 112-acre ranch on a former golf course near downtown Fort Worth. Check out the tasting room and bar on Thursdays and Fridays, and stay tuned for tours of the state-of-the-art space in 2018. 4250 Mitchell Blvd., Fort Worth, frdistilling.com

Bullion: Raising the Bar of French Cuisine

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: ©BULLION; ©DEEP ELLUM BREWING; ©POK THE RAW BAR

Michelin Star-awarded Chef Bruno Davaillon recently returned to Dallas’ fine dining scene with Bullion, a “French-inspired” downtown restaurant that opened in November. Its midcentury design evokes the lively, elegant atmosphere of the iconic era, from the playful shapes of the furniture to its gilded exterior. Bullion’s glitzy facade of golden scales creates a prismatic effect depending on the sunlight and time of day.

Sculptures, photographs and paintings by prominent contemporary artists fill the interior, along with lavish details in the cocktail lounge. The menu consists of innovative twists on traditional French classics (think duck l’orange and escargot) as well as regionally inspired dishes prepared using French techniques. It’s an accurate demonstration of Chef Bruno’s belief that “French food doesn’t have to be stuffy.”

Welcome to North Texas’ golden age of craft beer. It’s nearly impossible to keep track of the craft beer purveyors popping up in just the DFW region alone, but it wasn’t so long ago when the number of microbreweries in Dallas County could be counted on one hand. One such pioneer was Deep Ellum Brewing Company, which became known for its Deep Ellum IPA and easydrinking Dallas Blonde. The brewery’s portfolio has grown to sour beers and barrel-aged releases, but locals are mostly anticipating the official launch of Deep Ellum Lager for the ultimate trifecta of Dallas beer.

The DEBC folks have also made a foray into spirits with the opening of Deep Ellum Distillery. Its first product, called AllPurpose Vodka, can be found in local liquor stores. www.deepellumvodka.com

Methodist University—differentiates itself with a full-service sushi bar led by Chef

Jimmy Park, formerly of Nobu. The intimate, communal experience allows for good conversation (the flowing sake doesn’t hurt either), but it’s the quality of the sushi that continues to impress. On par with any of Dallas’ most-loved sushi restaurants, Chef Jimmy swears the secret is in the way he prepares the rice. There’s no set standard sushi menu, but if you’re lucky he’ll garnish a picture-perfect morsel of sashimi with flakes of 24k gold. This practice, Park said, comes from a tradition of ancient Asian culture: serving the precious metal was said to bring good fortune to those who ate it. 3699 McKinney Ave., Ste. 306, www.poktherawbar.com.

Fort Worth’s small town charm never ceases to make an impact.

The Live Oak’s well-established local community of musicians and fans gives this rooftop bar and music venue a sense of authenticity to go alongside the selection of North Texas beer on tap. Should the weather disagree with your patio plans, head to Jazz Scat Lounge downtown to take shelter in one of the best places to see live music in DallasFort Worth, period.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably spotted the orange, green and yellow bicycles around town, either clustered in central locations or awkwardly parked near an intersection. The recent boom of bikeshare companies that operate on a smartphone app has made getting from point A to point B via bicycle more accessible and less expensive. For groups of two or more, however, or those planning to ride for a longer period of time, we’d suggest Deep Ellum’s Local Hub Bicycle Co. This shop is a local favorite whether you’re in the market for a fixed speed cruiser, a custom build or a weekend rental, owner Kristi is your go-to gal for general advice and suggestions on bike routes or local points of interest.

The Grandest Gesture For someone hoping to impress—or be impressed by—their significant other, the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek has it all: award-wining fine dining, picturesque guest suites, a legacy of sophistication and impeccable service for which The Mansion is known. If you’re feeling especially fancy, go all out and turn Valentine’s Day into a Valentine’s stay; because after a multi-course meal and a few bottles of wine, who wouldn’t want to retire to a luxurious suite at The Mansion? One word to the wise: reservations for the restaurant’s Valentine’s Day dinner service tend to fill quickly, so booking a time slot in The Mansion advance is highly Restaurant recommended.

[WHERE INSIDE]

My Dallas-Fort Worth

[Singer-Songwriter] When we caught up with Lights last fall before a performance at the Bomb Factory with PVRIS, the Canadian singer-songwriter had just debuted “Skin&Earth,” an original comic series written and illustrated by the artist herself, as well as a fulllength album of the same name.

We chatted with the Toronto-based artist in advance of her headlining performance at the Granada Theater on February 15th.

Here’s what she had to say about Texas, tour life and the creative process behind “Skin&Earth.”

—Jaimie Siegle

Is there anything you plan on squeezing into your pit stop in Dallas-Fort Worth?

Yes! Barbecue is one thing I always end up getting down there. Texas has to be one of the most supportive states I’ll ever tour in! We’ve played in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, San Antonio … we always look forward to Texas.

You grew up in some farflung parts of the world like the Philippines and Jamaica.

Has this instilled a lifelong passion for travel? As a frequently touring artist, does life on the road continue to fuel your creativity?

I think it probably just makes me more comfortable with the fact that [touring] is part of the job description: you’re always gone, always on airplanes, always living in a suitcase. It can make or break people who have to tour for a living. Because I moved around a lot, I’m able to handle it; it was everyday life.

The biggest contribution, I think, was that it gave me an under-

56 W H E R E D A L L A S - F O R T W O R T H I J A N UA R Y / F E B R UA R Y 2018

standing of the world and an appreciation for all cultures.

Each volume in the comic book series corresponds to a song on the new album, but the series has its own storyline as well. Like the classic chicken-or-the-egg question, which came first—the music, or the narrative?

Once the songs were written, the story just fell into place.

The challenge of creating songs is that each one should be able to stand alone on its own … but every song is in [chronological] order to match the story, and the lyrics make their way into the dialogue, so when you hear the song and read the comic with it you see a whole new side and it means so much more.

So was the series a way to promote the album, or something like a bucket list goal?

I grew up reading Calvin & Hobbes, which translated into Wonder Woman, old romance novels, and eventually my own

aesthetic. Fiction, fantasy and sci-fi open the mind up; that’s why I love surreality, graphic novels, video games. It keeps me creative. Reality is the end of creativity … The challenge of creating songs is that each one should be able to stand alone on its own.

Is the series' heroine, Enaia Jin, supposed to be your alter ego?

She’s me in another dimension, for sure. At the very core, the story is about a woman battling depression—confronting it and coming out the other end stronger for it.

Anything fans can expect to see during your appearance at the Granada in February?
