The Essential Dallas-Fort Worth Where magazine celebrates 80 years of travel this year, and we're commemorating it with 80-minute itineraries to North Texas' most-loved locales. In this issue, we head to the historic heart of Cowtown for boots, barbecue and a true taste of the West.

80 MINUTES IN: Once a place for cowboys, gamblers, bordellos and saloons, this attraction-filled area is a trip back in time to early life in America—and the only place to see a daily cattle drive. On Fridays and Saturdays, don't miss the Stockyards Championship Rodeo at Cowtown Coliseum—home of the world's first indoor rodeo. Get your fill of Fort Worth fare at Riscky's BBQ or the famous Love Shack burger

The Fort Worth Stockyards joint, then pick up some Western apparel, art or gifts at Rios Interiors, the Cross-Eyed Moose or Stockyards Station, which houses a variety of galleries and local vendors. At night, enjoy country music and dancing at the legendary Billy Bob's Texas, where performances by local artists and top country stars provide tunes for two-stepping while patrons test their rodeo skills on a mechanical bull.

Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

INNOVATIVE EATS

There’s something to be said about a good meal: The wine is flowing, as is the conversation; the service is seamless, striking a balance between attentive and intuitive; the atmosphere complements both the cuisine and the concept; and the food itself provides more than just sustenance: It completes an experience that can be likened to a breathing work of art that’s not only memorable, but unforgettable and inspirational. And while there are endless places to find great food in North Texas, those that seem to effortlessly and continuously execute the fine dining experience are harder to come by. These new restaurants are some of them.

18TH AND VINE BBQ In the land of Texas barbecue, Texas chili and and Texas steak, rumors circulating of a new collaborative concept between husband-and-wife pitmaster duo Matt (a Kansas City native) and Kimi Dallman and Chef Scott Gottlich (of award-winning restaurant The Second Floor at the Westin Galleria), an upscale Kansas City-style barbecue restaurant was met with mouthwatering curiosity and excitement. The restaurant has lived up to, and perhaps surpassed, the hype. For starters, the restaurant’s

Wayward Sons’ avocado toast

name comes from two cross streets in Kansas City which served as the capital of the Jazz and barbecue scene of the 1930s and ‘40s, and the vibe is one not felt in other establishments around town. As for the food, from the BBQ pork belly and shrimp to the vegetarian-friendly cauliflower “steak,” it’s unforgettable, and reflects a perfect blend of the low-and-slow pitmaster technique and Gottlich’s understated but elegant touch.

4100 Maple Ave., 214.443.8335, www.18thandvinebbq.com JULIA PEARL SOUTHERN CUISINE The success of elevated comfort food concept in Plano, Julia Pearl Southern Cuisine, is a result of the culinary direction from former Top Chef contestant Tre Wilcox and Executive Chef Jermaine Brown. Here, the flavors and entrées are pleasantly familiar yet fresh and modern. Served

in a rustic-yet-refined atmosphere, items like seafood gumbo, shrimp and grits and roasted redfish (served with a heaping side Southern hospitality, of course) will not disappoint.

2301 N. Central Expwy., Ste. 195, Plano, 972.422.1519, www.juliapearlsoutherncuisine.com TOP KNOT It had been a long time coming when Uchi finally arrived in Dallas.

Chef Tyson Cole’s modern Asian concept had already given way to a similar second concept, Austin’s Uchiko, and a second location in Houston.

It came as no surprise that the restaurant’s Dallas location was welcomed with open arms (and mouths), and far exceeded expectations.

Located on the second floor of the Uchi building, the exclusiveto-Dallas Top Knot offers a bright, lively atmosphere to house Chef de Cuisine Angela Hernandez’s fun, fresh take on the Uchi aesthetic (think Berkshire pork ribs, hamachi crudo and hot-fried chicken buns).

Brunch is not to be missed, with a spicy, sesame-topped baked egg dish (and hearty bloody mary) that’s worth a trip alone.

produce from nearby and regional purveyors, and the innovative ways in which they are combined and presented. Dodds, former chef at longtime Henderson establishment Hibiscus, surprises diners with standout brunch entrées like the satisfyingly simple avocado toast, biscuits and gravy and cereal-crusted french toast. The small but mighty dinner menu is vegetarian-friendly, but also includes items like crispy pork ribs, gulf shrimp ceviche and lamb brisket.

3525 Greenville Ave., 214.828.2888, www.waywarddallas.com FLORA STREET CAFÉ From his humble West Texas beginnings to his ascent into culinary stardom with legendary Dallas restaurants Routh Street Café and Star Canyon, Stephan Pyles has held true to his Texas roots and drive to evolve and inspire. Hailed as a founding father of contemporary Southwestern cuisine, the James Beard Award-winning chef has a laundry list of accolades and accomplishments.

His latest concept, however, could be considered Pyles’ magnum opus: A symphonic masterpiece that fuses his passion for the arts, culinary expertise, and his belief in authentic food and its ability to bring people together.

Pyles’ modern perspective and

detail-oriented nature, as well as his interests in arts and culture, are apparent throughout the restaurant.

Flora Street’s wine list, for example, has been two years in the making, while the handcrafted cocktails are a nod to the restaurant’s Arts District home. Furthermore, the interior of Flora Street Café is as much of an art gallery as it is a restaurant, with paintings and photographs, mixed media works, a silk 3D tapestry and handblown glass lamps.

Of course, anchoring the concept are Pyles’ plated artistic masterpieces. Pyles brought on fellow native Texan Ricardo “Ricchi” Sanchez, formerly Executive Pastry Chef at Nobu Las Vegas, to execute the dessert menu, which features innovative pairings like fleur de sel chocolate mousse with parmesan snow and kettle corn, and Texas whiskey cake with bubble gum ice cream.

Also worth noting are the literary quotes which introduce each course menu. One in particular from Ralph Waldo Emerson seems to embody Flora Street’s sentiment, explaining how and why great artists, performers and chefs, do what they do: “Love is the beauty of taste.

The creation of beauty is art.”

Looking for ways to beat the Texas heat? Whether they’re in a cone, on a stick, transformed into a milkshake or sandwiched between a glazed doughnut, these fresh, frozen treats will certainly hit the spot. By Jaimie Siegle

HYPNOTIC EMPORIUM While it has the look and feel of a Pleasantville soda fountain, East Dallas’ Hypnotic Emporium is one of the newest ice cream shops on the block. Egg creams, malts and root beer floats are indeed on the menu, but what makes Hypnotic unique are the picture-perfect sundaes made with Denton-based Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream and the signature DREAM: An ice cream sandwich made with a sliced glazed doughnut from its sibling restaurant next door, then flash-heated for the ultimate hot-and-cold sensation. The emporium also doubles as a vintage candy store (Abba Zabba, anyone?).

SUMMER SCENE

POOLSIDE PARADISE Despite the heat, summer in Texas is all about being outdoors: Cookouts and barbecues, sunsets at the lake, concerts and events underneath the stars and of course, poolside lounging accompanied by cold beer, refreshing cocktails and good company.

It should come as no surprise that Dallas-Fort Worth is home to many picturesque pools, many of which are the hotbed of a happening social scene during the summer months (think a miniature version of Las Vegas’ legendary pool parties) and others that are ideal for a relaxing afternoon with a book in hand. Many rooftop pools and bars are located within luxury hotels and are thus only available to hotel guests, but there are plenty of options around town to sunbathe, cool off and indulge in summertime splendor. -Jaimie Siegle

Getting a workout in can be tough on-the-go or in an unfamiliar city, but the options are endless in DFW. For yogis, try Lowest Greenville's (1) Plum Yoga, which offers a stocked schedule of multiple classes for first-timers and experienced yoga students alike. There's also a rejuvenating tea bar, where visitors are invited to sip a cup before or after class—or whenever they need a little pick-me-up.

For a fast-paced workout, try (2) Soul Cycle, the spin class phenomenon that's taken the fitness community (and now Dallas' Preston Hollow neighborhood) by storm. Of course, workouts are always more fun in fashionable—and functional— activewear; to that end, visit Highland Park Village's (3) Bandier for luxe, stylish threads and accessories that are as on-trend as they are fitness-forward.

Ever heard of a guacamologist? Neither had we until one became part of a nightly tradition at the Ritz-Carlton, in which a chef prepares handcrafted guacamole alongside margarita tastings in the lobby. The Ritz recently upped the ante with the newly unlocked (1) Tequila Vault, which houses rare and limited tequilas (including Chef Dean Fearing's signature Barrel Select Tequila and an $8,000 bottle of Patrón), available to order in the lobby or at Fearing's Rattlesnake Bar. For the ultimate staycation or room service experience, try (2) Highland Hotel, home of award-winning Chef John Tesar's Knife and in-room dining service from the gourmet steakhouse's full menu. Order the famed bacon tasting platter or a 240-day dryaged ribeye, then enjoy premium channels and the many perks of the boutique hotel.

The ultimate adrenaline rush is closer (to the ground, that is) than you think at (1) iFLY Indoor Skydiving in Frisco, where no prior experience jumping out of planes is necessary.

Just step inside the vertical glass chamber and prepare for lift off as customizable wind speeds allow you to simulate the real thing.

At aerial training center (2) Skyline Trapeze in Addison, visitors from ages 3 to 91 have "unleashed their inner circus" with trapeze classes that offer a challenging yet rewarding workout as well as prime views of the city.

For outdoor adventurers of all ages, head to Plano's Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve for the (3) Go Ape Zip Line & Treetop Adventure, which features obstacles, ropes and zip line courses that give guests a thrilling ride through a shady forest canopy.
