Thurber Mingus

A brand new spin on food is present at Thurber Mingus. When they greet you, they introduce their restaurant and give information about the Chef; the Chef is all about natural, Texas food. 

The restaurant decor shows the commitment to nature and up-cycling. It looks like a lot of the furniture is locally made from recycled materials. 

The kitchen is awesome too. The best thing on the menu are the herbed fries. None of the fries are regular at Thurber Mingus. These herbed fries will make you lick your fingers and fight your friends for the sauce on the fries. They use three herbs to make them, and the likelihood of the herbs coming from their pallet garden is very high. 

The burger with goat cheese and bacon is thick and juicy. The burger will not disappoint. It would not be surprising if this burger is winning awards all over the city soon. 

Their craft drinks are refreshing and strong. On part of their drink menu, they have a two drink maximum; this will definitely get you "your money's worth."

Welcome to Fort Worh Thurber Mingus. You have succeeded at up-cycling a beautifully hidden location.

Little Red Wasp

Little Red Wasp is lovely. It is the perfect place for a day when you feel like having a super fancy date but don't want to pay for it. It's among the $1000 restaurants but you can get out of there for under $100. 

The cocktails are yummy. The whiskey one is a very manly drink, boys don't be afraid to have a whiskey drink out of a martini glass. 

The best thing available at Little Red Wasp is the Brussels sprouts. If you never learned to eat vegetables as a young person, go to Little Red Wasp and indulge in the Brussels sprouts. It will feel like you are a vegetable lover! 

Little Red Wasp is a great choice among downtown restaurants in Fort Worth. The drinks are yummy and the food is delicious. 

Campestre Chula Vista

This brand new Fort Worth restaurant is absolutely beautiful. They have built it and set every table with extreme attention to detail. The outdoor space looks like a magical fiesta and the inside is colorful yet tasteful. It is aesthetically pleasing to any guest who arrives. 

Is it evident that the food is committed to Mexican authenticity and they will not be changed by American TexMex standards. 

Real cheese: this appetizer is queso fundido. It's the stuff you get in Mexico. The cheese is soft for about ten minutes, then it returns to its room temperature solid state; the proof that it is real cheese.  

Ceviche tostadas: real Mexican ceviche, not influence by other Latin American ceviches. It tastes like the beach. Accompanied with Valentina hot sauce. This is the way ceviche is eaten in some parts Mexico. 

Pork guacamole: the vegatarians' worst nightmare. Succulent pork pieces get scooped up and add a salty crunch to the guacamole. Sorry vegetarians, the omnivores will happily devour the guac. Surely, the kitchen staff will be friendly enough to adjust this dish for the non pork lovers. 

Parking is abundant, the views are the best in the city, and the restaurant is beautiful. The prices are between $18-$25 per dish, but they have $2 tacos for the budget foodies. Hopefully, this adventurous place will stick around Fort Worth. 

Texas Shaped Biscuits at Zio Carlo

If you find yourself wanting some great brunch, Zio Carlo is not the first place that comes to mind. However, if you find yourself there on a weekend morning watching EPL soccer games, Zio Carlo has a great brunch! 

This was an amazing unexpected surprise. Soccer and brunch it is! These biscuits are delicious and fun to see. The best part of this brunch is the gravy; the sauce tastes almost like a delicious rich, but not greasy, dressing. 

Eddie V's

Tuna is my favorite food in the whole WIDE wORLD!!! I love all tuna, I like it the most when it does NOT come from a can. 

This lovely piece of Tuna came from Eddie V's on West 7th. It is thick, delicious and cooked well. The side of mango salad and sauce are a perfect pair. This is cooked tuna, so if you are a raw tuna lover, this dish will no do. 

Eddie V's may have the best seafood dishes in Fort Worth.
