Chef Point Expanding, Adding Bar

by Steven Doyle

Chef Point Café, the gourmet restaurant found inside the gas station located in Wautaga, Texas (burb in Fort Worth) has been busy the last few months promoting the little café with 99 cent deals. You may recall a few months back where Chef Point made headlines by selling gas for 99 cents, the lines swelled down the street as eager guests awaited their turn at cheap fuel, reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter days.

More recently Chef Point offered a 99 cent burger and ‘Freedom Fries’ deal for July 4^th. Continue reading →

Grace Wins With Christmas In July

by David Donalson

Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending Grace’s Christmas in July celebration benefiting the American Heart Association in Fort Worth. For three glorious hours, I was able to taste some outstanding seafood appetizers while tasting many different forms of bubbly. I would be lying if I did not say that I was looking forward to this for a week. I never miss an opportunity to drink good bubbles and man there were some good bubbles here.

When I see an event that claims to be “Champagne” like a Champagne brunch, I get a little worried. Too often people assume that bubbles equals Champagne and as much as I like Cava from Spain and Prosecco from Italy, they just never stand up to the purity of flavor as true Champagne. With a $50 cover charge, one should expect true Champagne and Grace did not disappoint. There were three tables lined by buckets of ice and lots of bubbly. Continue reading →

Fort Worth Zoo’s Beastro 2011

by Steven Doyle

Last Friday the Fort Worth Zoo held their annual Beastro tasting and music event that features local Fort Worth restaurants that are dispersed through out the Zoo grounds. The variety of restaurants put on a fantastic showing offering small dishes to a swelling mass of guests. The object for the evening was to discover and devour. With over 25 representative restaurants it was no easy task.

We were an invited guest of one of 360 West a major sponsor for the event, and was led on a tour through out the jungles of the beautiful Fort Worth Zoo.

Making our way around the grounds we wandered past all the snakes, lizards and flamingoes and found a few interesting choices in Olenjacks Grille who was flaming blueberry crème brulees, and the interesting Tokyo Café who was grilling skewers of shashito peppers on a tiny hibachi. The peppers were smoky and blistered giving them a tiny burst of crunch with a backbeat of heat. Continue reading →

Jesus BBQ and a Heavenly Rahr Tasting

19_2011_01_JesusBBQ-1 by Steven Doyle photos by Robert Bostick

We always enjoy a good beer tour, and Rahr Brewery in Fort Worth is no exception. You will find owner and host Fritz Rahr twice weekly in his warehouse digs jawing with his community of beer aficionados about the finer points of brewing and all things beer.

Each week the tour allows his guests to sample several beers for the mere purchase of a Rahr commemorative glass, with some of the proceeds going to a local charity who helps work the event. In addition there is typically some sort of musical guest and caterer on hand to feed the hungry masses. Continue reading →
