    Meat Your Maker:
Texas' Best Steakhouses 
• USDA Prime
• Wet-aged for 21 days, then dry-aged in-house
for 3 to 7 days
• Seared over flames and finished in oven
Duce, a self-proclaimed “modern steakhouse,” has become a destination for a bubbly bar crowd that often sticks around for a spot of supper. Ensconced in an airy room with frosted glass and blond woods, you can be torn between simply listening to the twice-weekly live jazz or giving yourself over to the contemporary menu. Do both, as the music provides a tony backdrop for enjoying whimsies like the taradito sampler. This brilliant Peruvian rendition of sashimi presents combinations like wild salmon with chile paste and tropical fruit and hamachi with minced pear, serrano, and fried garlic. The steaks are lovely, if lonely, on their stark plates. The best cut is the notably tender hanger steak, served sliced on the bias. And, hands down, the best side dish is the pancetta-wrapped asparagus topped with a pearly quail egg, sunny-side up. To read article go to: www.texasmonthly.com


          
25 Reasons We Love Fort Worth #11. Whole lotta Love! Texan Chef Tim Love couldn't resist naming his latest restaurant, a gourmet burger and shake joint, the Love Shack. Nearly everything is made from scratch, including the tangy "love sauce" on burgers and the frothy root beer served on tap.

25 Reasons We Love Fort Worth #14. Go on, order a shot! Cowboy hats, donated by regulars over the years, cover the walls and ceiling of the White Elephant Saloon, which was named after a local 1880s-era bar whose owner, Luke Short, killed a man in a shoot-out. Costumed actors restage the showdown every February 8, but most other nights, when couples two-step to country-and-Western acts, the bar is about as laid-back as you can get.

Black Is Beautiful In the U.S., chefs are interested less
in the purported health benefits than in the deeper flavor profiles and the wow factor that dark foods offer. "Black is just fun to work with," says Tim Love of the Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in Fort Worth, Texas, where he just started serving a fig-and-black-lime margarita and surrounds his mango-sautéed salmon with an intense puree of earthy black trumpet mushrooms. "It's unexpected. It looks great on a plate," he says.

Terry Rasor
Sat. Dec. 8 @ 2-6 pm
Sat. Dec. 22 @ 9p - 1a
Terry Rasor has been writing songs and performing since the early seventies. A Fort Worth, Texas native he began playing the mandolin and guitar at age nine and was performing at only thirteen, singing and playing mandolin in the award winning bluegrass band, 'The Sunset Harmony Boys'. In 1988 Terry formed 'Over The Edge', and by 1990, he recorded and published his first album 'Terry Rasor and Over The Edge LIVE at Caravan of Dreams'. He was named 'Songwriter of the Year' in '91 by the MCMA.  He has been actively involved in the Texas music scene and a strong voice for independent singers, songwriters and musicians. Terry and his band have been through several changes, but the raw-gritty-straight ahead sound coupled with his incredibly soulful lyrics and melodies have held true through it all. Terry plays over 100 live performances a year and his discography includes the '98 release of 'Takin Ransom', a chest full of self penned songs, along with two songs written by producer and legendary Texas rocker John Nitzinger. Hear the swampy sound of 'Crime Of The Century', songs that will tug at your heart, and that rockabilly favorite 'Don't Mess With Texas'! Successfully touring Europe twice, Terry is particularly fond of the Black Forest where he was deemed "dark and mysterious". His second CD, titled 'Texas Hi-Way Troubador' debuted in 2001 and has received extensive airplay in Germany, Sweden and Austrailia. Following his 2002 European tour, Terry returned home with a fire in his belly and the appetite for an entirely new cache of songs. In the form of his third and all original CD, 'Write It Down' was released at Terrys annual musicfest and campout 'Raz on the Braz' in August of '03. Terry's latest release 'LIVE at Tommy Alversons' was recorded at Tres Rios River Ranch in October of '05 at Family Gathering #8.
