Love Shack So7

July 31, 2009

The Love Shack opens a new location today (July 31) nestled in the new So7 development on Fort Worth’s westside. Via Twitter I found out that Chef Tim Love was doing a soft opening Monday through Wednesday and best of all food was discounted 50% while they worked out the menu and operations before opening [...]

Paco and John’s Mexican Diner

Paco and John’s Mexican Diner is the unlikely hybrid of French and Mexican culinary traditions housed in a converted gas station.  This nouveau taqueria fills the need for a taqueria that won’t leave you wondering about the fortitude of your intestinal system. Paco and John opened this spring to a receptive lunch following and have [...]

Aventino

UPDATE: Aventino closed January 15, 2010. We wish the Paez Family the best. The words Cucina, Enoteca, and Salumeria usually are reserved for spots tucked away in the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany or the moped mobbed streets of Milan.  Fort Worth may not contain all the same charms of Italy, but we can be [...]

King Tut

King Tut may conjure up ancient images for some.  In the landscape of Fort Worth, King Tut is more of an “original gangsta”.  King Tut’s longtime presence in an otherwise deserted spot on Magnolia earn it some serious street cred.  Thankfully, Magnolia has experienced a resurgence beyond the Mad Hatter’s heydeys of the early 90′s [...]

I was recently invited to a media dinner at Lambert’s, on Fort Worth’s Westside bordering downtown.  Many Fort Worth and Dallas food and freelance writers attended the event – you are basically given a sampling of the menu and drinks (for free – nice).  This review is a recap of the event.  For the record, [...]

Winslow’s Wine Cafe

The Vibe Finally, a place for uppercrust Fort Worth Westsiders to gather other than the Rivercrest Country Club.  Just kidding, Winslow’s Wine Cafe serves folks from both sides of the bricks.  And judging from the constant crowds I think a few people from nowhere near “the bricks” have discovered Winslow’s as well.  The smoothly contemporary [...]

The Love Shack

The Vibe “If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says 15 miles to the….Love Shack!”  Sorry I couldn’t resist.  OK, so I went to the Love Shack in the Stockyards.  Celebrity chef Tim Love’s (you qualify as a celebrity chef if you beat Chef Morimoto on Iron Chef) burger [...]

Nonna Tata

The Vibe I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Fort Worth is fortunate to have it’s own Italian Grandmother in Nonna Tata.  The small and sunny yellow dining room with rustic tables, maw-maw-ish curtains, and mouthwatering smells coming from the kitchen is what I would imagine a Nonna’s house to be like.  In [...]

Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine

December 3, 2008
Thumbnail image for Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine

Bonnell’s spin on southwestern cuisine has made them a solid fine dining option in Fort Worth since 2001.  What drew me to the restaurant was learning that Bonnell’s uses regional and local ingredients in his cooking. Native and seasonal ingredients improve the flavors of dishes, especially in the hands of a skilled chef like Jon [...]

The downtown fine dining restaurant Grace held its opening party this past Friday.  The ground floor of the Carter Burgess Plaza on Main Street serves as what will ultimately be a popular dining spot.  The slated opening date of November 11th has been moved back to November 17th (so I hear from an unverified source).  [...]
