FOOD FOR THOUGHT



When it opened in 1971, TGI Friday’s singlehandedly invented the “singles” scene in Dallas; the bar was three-deep in hot pants a week after it opened. More to its credit however, is the cholesterol-laden appetizer it created in 1974-the potato skin. Deep-fried and loaded with grated cheese and sour cream, potato skins wore a fave before boomers knew bet-ter. Today’s skins are more likely to be topped with smoked salmon and chicken breast.

IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN

REAL PEOPLE Jim Severson, executive chef at Dakota’s, is all too familiar with the upside-down life of a chef-getting off work at 11 p.m., doing laundry at 3 a.m., and waking up at noon. But if, like Severson, you’re a jock at heart, the lifestyle poses special problems. Sunday softball is fine, but squeezing in a tennis game can be difficult. Severson’s solved that problem by playing midnight tennis at late night courts. In the wintertime, he’s active in an informal bowling league for chefs that plays at Don Carter’s-open 24 hours. Severson’s always been a contender-he won 17 golf and bowling trophies before he was 16 and was a “tenacious point guard with a hang time of 1 1/2 seconds” for the Culinary Institute of America’s basketball team. “We were a legend in our own minds. The cheerleaders had a special cheer for us: Mirepoix, mirepoix, roux, roux, roux! Slice ’em up, dice ’em up, put ’em in the stew!” -Mary Brown Malouf

A No-frills Eatery in Forney



ON THE ROAD Funny thing. Here are most of the small towns in Texas, getting themselves all tarted up with tea rooms and artsy-craftsy shops to lure tourists off the interstates. And here is Forney, still the small town small towns used to be, despite its reputation as the antique-shopping capital of the state.

Actually, Forney itself is off to one side of l-20’s trafficked cluster of antique malls and shops. Miles from it in ambience, too, with its quiet, peaceful main street, its pocket-sized downtown, and its one central cafe that serves plain food at plain prices, mostly to locals, for whom the eatery is as much social hub as restaurant.

The Gossetts have fed Forney citizens for the better part of two decades, running City Cafe for 14 years, then, after a five-year recess, reopening the restaurant as Gossett’s Kountry Kitchen. The spelling’s a trifle cutesy, but the food is not-what you get here is honest home cooking, from chicken-fried steak (real gravy, of course) to banana pudding (every Wednesday) and homemade pies, with a sturdy hand-patted burger running a close second in popularity to the meat-and-three-vegs plate lunch. And if the setting’s not particularly nostalgic (the building’s probably Forney’s newest), the attitude certainly is-regulars on our visit seemed anxious to assure us every dish was cooked fresh, from scratch, as if the place were their very own. Which, I suppose, in a way it is. To find it, take 1-20 east to exit 740, then head downtown to 109 East Main. (214) 552-2535.

A New Wave in Nightclubs



NIGHTLIFE The fluid, shimmering elusive qualities of aquatic creatures may have something to do with making fish a motif for the Nineties-fish designs are turning up on everything from earrings to underwear.

Synchronously, Fish Dance, a top Denver dance club, spawned its first offspring-in Dallas. It’s the brainchild of three young clubmakers who are happily swimming against the tide.

The decor looks like something the Little Mermaid and Captain Nemo dreamed up on a spectacular bender. It is vaguely art deco. Immense silver sharks hang suspended over the dance floor, mermaids and frogmen cavort on the walls, and a pearlized baby whale adorns the entrance. The floor plan is open and spacious, and the bars expansive. It would be no surprise to see kelp waving in the dim, underwater light.

Asked what the originators had in mind, co-owner Marty Meshek mentions danceable music and a “neighborly” attitude (none of that cliquish bar snobbery) with a fish theme. Meshek and club designer Wallace Kelley, both deep-sea fishermen, think of ocean life as the ideal fantasy vehicle. Perhaps this is a new wave in nightclubs. -Julie Ryan

CHEAP EATS



MEAL IN THE ROUND

Why did it take us so long to recognize bagels as the perfect on-your-way breakfast? This firm, hand-friendly, wheel-shaped bread that’s boiled before it’s baked is low in fat, high in carbohydrates, and easier to muffins. A few of the best bagel emporia we’ve found are:

The Bagel Chain: Get your mild morning sweet-tooth fruit fix with strawberry or blueberry standards-or Jump start the day with a jala-peno-fired version, 62 cents. 5555 W. Lovers Lane. 350-2245.

Bagelstein’s: Of the nearly dozen bagels baked here, whole wheat is the best breakfast bet, with sesame or poppy as crunchy, close-textured alternatives, 45 cents. 81O4 Spring Valley. 234-3787.

Carshon’s: Fort Worth’s premier dell puts out the usual varieties, from plain (spread yours with strawberry jam) to earthy pumpernickel, 40 cents. 3133 Cle-burne Road. (817) 923-1907.

Deli News: The cinnamon raisin’s mom-sweet comfort food, but the onion version makes a bolder beginning for the day-especially If you add cream cheese or lox spread. Bagel alone, 38 cents. 15775 Hill-crest. 392-3354.

Minyard’s: Most supermarket baked goods are strictly lowest common denominator, but this local chain’s oversized bagels are a creditable exception. My favorite is the apple cinnamon, good cold or even better split and toasted. Prices and selections vary among stores.

State-Thomas Hangout



ALLEN STREET BAR & GRILL You Know that spray stuff you can buy to fill a vintage sedan with new-car fragrance? Well, restaurateur Larry Dupler may have come up with a version that works in reverse. His mini-new Allen Street Bar & Grill has the friendly feel of the homey neighborhood hangout it’s destined to become for the Slate-Thomas residential crowd. That’s homey, not homely-the multilevel space is fresh and attractive, all dark wood and deep green walls, with comfortable booths tiered to overlook a hospitable horseshoe-shaped central bur.

The food mostly matches the decor’s solid lack of pretension, offering pig-out portions at near-pygmy prices, with no corner cutting in quality that I could see. A starter of onion rings, aptly called Trolley Wheels, featured 4-inch hoops still firm and sweet in crunchv buttermilk hatter and stacked toppling high for $2.45. A small Caesar salad was twice as large (and half the price) of those found most places and was a fine fling of young romaine in Parmesan-laden dressing. Gazpacho melded bright vegetable flavors with serious piquancy in its generous, well-chilled depths.

Entrees were as formidable. The house burger was a beauty, a half-pound of choice chuck good enough to cook rare, served open-faced and eaten that way. Stacked on its toasted onion bun with its accompanying fixings, the thing would have been too big to lift, let alone get in my mouth. A grilled three-cheese sandwich was a glorious melt of jack, Cheddar, and Havarti, plus bacon and tomatoes on toasted Italian bread. The same bread made a fine foundation for a new sandwich being introduced the night of our visit-a tuna fillet, succu-lently grilled. Both the mountain of french fries that came with each sandwich and the cottage-fried potatoes were well seasoned and prepared.

Desserts were a clear case of overkill, especially a double-chocolate brownie that would have been splendid alone, but was too richly topped with mocha ice cream, hot fudge, and hot marshmallow sauce. Texas pecan square, a super-rich treatment of pecan pie served hot and à la mode, was scrumptious enough to strip us of am lingering dietary scruples we might have had after all this indulgence, which, by the way, was compounded by service as accommodating as any I’ve encountered lately. 2900 McKinney Ave. at Allen. R71-0256. Sun.-Wed. 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Thur. 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Fri.-Sat. 11 a.m.-2 a.m. All credit cards. Inexpensive to moderate.

Not Too Crazy About Pazzo Grill



PAZZO ITALIAN GRILL AND BAR We had been in this Lake Highlands-area building in its previous incarnation as a dispenser of self-serve home cooking, so the makeover into an Italian bistro, complete with witty art on the walls, was impressive. The track record of co-owner Mel Hollen (formerly of Cafe Pacific and Atlantic Cafe) promised a lot, too.

The appetizers fulfilled our expectations, especially a perfectly naked artichoke stuffed with garlicky bread crumbs. Fresh-tasting crab claws, grilled Italian sausage heavily spiked with fennel, peppers, and onions, and an assertive Caesar salad almost came up to that high standard.

“Pazzo” is Italian for crazy, so it might not be an inappropriate metaphor to say that the rest of the menu seemed to have suffered from nervous collapse. Most of the ideas were great-but the execution just wasn’t there. Rotisserie-roasted chicken can be among the most succulent of fowl dishes, for instance, though here the chicken came to the table beautifully colored but juiceless and flavorless. A Carbonara sauce is a novel and potentially interesting treatment for tortellini, but the twisted little bundles of stuffed pasta were overcooked and glopped up with too much sauce. A sharp, thin-tasting tomato sauce marred lasagna and even a pizza. By far the best of the entrees we sampled was the shrimp brochette that apparently had been dipped in a light batter before grilling. The shrimp could have used some additional seasoning, but a dip in the buttery sauce that accompanied them certainly helped add flavor.

Desserts, too, promised a lot more than they delivered. The best were a erème hrulèe, with a nicely crunchy sugar top, and a fluffy, tart Key lime pie. We wish we could find a new Italian restaurant that didn’t think it had to offer tiramisu, that dessert containing cake or lady fingers, coffee in some form, and mascarpone cheese, because it has become such a cliche. Pazzo’s tiramisu, though, hits a new low-it tasted as if the ladyfingers were waterlogged with weak coffee. On the other hand, we approve in principle of a plain, cakelike cheesecake-but here the cheesecake tastes more salty than sweet, and its dryness isn’t redeemed by the accompanying strawberry puree. In all, the gap between promise and delivery here drives us absolutamente pazzo. 7201 Skillman at Kingsley. 341-8900. Sun.-Fri. 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m., Sat. 5-11 p.m. All credit cards. Moderate to expensive.

A Drive-Through Disaster



BONI MARONI’S This dapper little spot, sitting innocently in a neighborhood harboring most of the adult video business in Dallas County, has a bright idea. It offers Italian fast food, cheap and with a personable touch from extremely solicitous proprietors. There’s even a drive-through window for those leary of the questionable surroundings.

Italian fast food sounds great-until you really stop to think about it. In fact, many of the best Italian dishes are simple and quick to fix. But quick to fix is very different from available on demand, which is what American fast food is all about. Pasta that stands around or is recooked quickly becomes gummy, mushy, and inedible. And there’s the rub with Boni Murom’s-who wants even a small order, let alone the giant buckets they dispense here, of squishy spaghetti in an acidic, unpleasant tomato sauce?

The limp feltuccine is more acceptable inan alfredo sauce, especially when toppedwith chicken. The pizza by the slice, though,is average at best, and the meatballs in thesubs lack the tenderness of the real Italian-American version. Some items are very niceat Boni Maroni’s-the little Caesar salad,the Italian smoothie made with strawberriesand honey, the desserts (including goodversions of spumoni and cannoli, as well asbig chocolate cookies). But we doubt thatthe essential problem-those flaccid strandsof pasta that make the old threat of beingbeaten with a wet noodle more toothlessthan ever-can possibly be solved. 1810 W.Mockingbird. 907-2782. Mon.-Fri. 8:30a.m.-9 p.m.. Sat. 11 a.m.-8 p.m. All creditcards. Inexpensive. -W.L.T.

D REVISITS



BARBECUE



D Revisits Peggy Sue BBQ. People either love or hate Peggy Sue’s-I am one of the big fens. 1 know it’s a radical idea, but I think it’s great to be able to eat light at a barbecue place. Before (he boos and hisses start, let me just add my justification: Light allows me to eat barbecue more often. For indulgent times, the beef brisket and pork ribs are great; when I must or want to be more austere, the smoked chicken salad (I know, I know) or the smoked chicken half are more than satisfying. With a side of the fantastic lemony spinach, 1 feel sure (hat no more than 30 percent of the calories consumed are coming from fat. At least, not until I finish the big, sugar-dusted apricot fried pie. So much for virtue. 6600 Snider Plow. 987-9188. Inexpensive. -M.B.M.



CHINESE



D Revisits Tong’s House. The menu here is the kind of authentic that really impresses a 10-year-old and, frankly, brings out a little bit of the wimp in me. Jellyfish, cattle stomach, pig ear, and beef tendons are just a few of the delicacies offered. We played it safe (his time and were happy with more familiar fare like seafood hot pot, a soup of beef, while noodles, bright fresh green spinach leaves, and spicy broth, but next time I plan to be more adventurous. 1910 Promenade Center, Richardson. 231-8858. Moderate. -M.B.M.



FRENCH/CONTINENTAL



D Revisits Frenchy Cafe. When skyrocketing North Dallas rents offended their Gallic sensibilities. Yvon Bouguyon and his wife, Josiane, packed up their Frenchy Cafe lock, stock, and Michel Delacroix prints, and moved to Casa View. That was late last year. Now you’d never know they’d been anywhere else, their intimate little eatery has such a hold on the neighborhood. Small wonder-the food is a simple triumph of classic fare delivered at pin-money prices. No entrée on the day’s chalked menu was more than eight dollars, and most were less, including ours: a brace of lamb chops, rosy and tender, sided with sautéed squash and a delicate wedge of quiche: veal Normandy, sautéed in cream and slathered with sliced mushrooms; a committee of enormous fresh shrimp, bathed in buttery wine sauce and sandwiched between puff pastry rectangles. We’d started with escargots in a deep, garlic butter sauce, a snapping-crisp Caesar salad, a bowl of gazpacho that was as French as everything else-smooth tomato cream, studded with avocado and raw-veg crunch. We closed with silken crème caramel, chocolate mousse of surpassing richness, a lemon ice that, while not made in-house, was tartly wonderful. Everyone at the nine red-checked tables (all filled) looked to be having a fine time-I know we did- 2240 Gus Thomasson. 328-8474. Inexpensive to moderate. -B.C.

GERMAN



D Revisits The New Chimney. One of Dallas longest-lived fine restaurants, The Chimney, still boasts acivilized atmosphere, a warm welcome from its host/proprietors, and the loveliest, least intrusive live piano musicin town. It’s safer to order the Swiss-Austrian specialties likethe delicate lemon veal than to experiment with a novelty likethe fresh scallops in mustard, cream, and caper sauce (wefound the underdone scallops unpleasant). Lovers of gamewill fancy the Reh Steak Chimney, tournedos of venison accompanied by a compote of lingonberries. Side dishes include a choice of those homemade noodlelike dumplingscalled spaetzle. Dessert offers several choices. The humblesounding “snowball.” ice cream rolled in almonds andbathed in chocolate sauce, proves more satisfying than thefamous Austrian Sachertorte, which here is too dry andheavy for my taste. 9759 N. Central Expwy. 369-6466. Ex-pensive. -W.L.T.



INDIAN



D Revisits Kebab-n-Kurry (Walnut Hill). Kebab-n-Kurry was one of the first Indian restaurants in Dallas andfor a long time was considered the best; in recent years, asIndian cuisine has gained more of a foothold in the city.Kebab-n-Kurry-in its out-of-the-way location-has beenslightly eclipsed. A recent visit proved that the food is asgood as ever, and it is definitely worth the trip. The sereneatmosphere and solicitous service were relaxing, and ourdinner, from lamb biryani to korma, was excellent. 2620Walnut Hill. 350-6466. Inexpensive. -M.B.M.



ITALIAN



D Revisits Ristorante Savino. In the mid-Eighties.Savino definitely offered Dallas’s best Italian food, but time.to some extent, seems to have passed the place by, and-several more ambitious and authentic Italian restaurants havecome along in the interim. But the food at Ristorante Savinois really as good as ever, and prices now seem extremelyReasonable. Tortellini in brodo. the pasta floating in a flavorful broth enriched with Parmesan, makes a good starter, andthe braised radicchio has a delightful, slightly bitter flavorAmong the unusual pasta dishes is a lasagna with scallops,completely without tomato, Veal is excellent in a huge chopsmothered with porcini mushrooms. Save room for thetrademark profiteroles, tiny cream puffs filled with custardand topped with a heavenly fudge sauce. 2929 N. Henderson. 826-7804. Moderate to expensive. – W.L.T.



MEXICAN



D Revisits Flamingo Joe’s. Life is hard-I can’tbelieve 1 ate in this spirited Deep Ellum place without ordering the white borracho beans thai are my favorite dish here.Ah, well, when one is eating for others, one must venturefor variety, verdad? And anyhow, we ate ourselves silly onother good stuff. FJ’s beef brisket tamales were meaty andfull-bodied, their accompanying warm cilantro sauce amusky elixir. Quesadillas Tropical folded crunchy shrimpand delicate crab meat between crisped tortilas, with moltencheese for comfort and pico de gallo for bite. Sour creamchicken enchiladas layered blue corn tortillas with muchbreast meat, jack and Cheddar cheeses under moothsauce, and finished off the plate with fine refried beans andrather dry Mexican rice. Filet at Flamingo duded up aperfectly lender grilled beef medallion with a melted cheesetopping, plus spicy pico de gallo, fresh guacamole. rice, andbeans. Big. gutsy margaritas washed it all down, but leftroom for only one shared dessert, a brandy flan that hadn’tsaid hello to liquor as far as we could tell but that was quitenice just the same. As was the amiably accommodating service in this quirkily casual setting-if FJ’s wants to call itselfTex-Mex Tropical, it’s all right with me. 2712 Main.748-6065. Inexpensive to moderate. -B.C.



NEW AMERICAN



D Revisits Parigi. Parigi continues to hold its own. The classic modern interior still looks as good as it did when the restaurant opened: the loyal and knowledgeable waitstaff seems to understand the food and enjoy serving you. The food has. I think, improved as the kitchen has matured and gained a relaxed confidence. Sweet roasted garlic is simply offered with an excellent choice of cheeses (fresh goat cheese, mozzarella. Gorgonzola, or Brie) and equally good chewy bread, proving the kitchen has the sense to leave good things unadorned. Our design-your-own pizzetta with onionconfit, apple-smoked chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes,and mild mozzarella was a perfect combination of sweet.salt, smoke, and cream; the manicotti stuffed with sheep’smilk ricotta, pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes was a little on thedry side, but the flavor was good. Topped as they were withgloriously unsweetened whipped cream, it was easy to forgetthat I don’t love the signature chocolate glob and soft peachcobbler. Maybe you will. 3311 Oak Lawn. 521-0295.Moderate to expensive. -M.B.M.



SEAFOOD



D Revisits Newport’s Seafood. Chef Guy Labouyrie has returned to Newport’s after a five-year absence, and I’m not sure that’s an altogether good development. It seems to me that Newport’s got belter during the lime Labouyrie was abroad, and the dishes I have sampled since his return don’t live up to my memories of the best Newport’s meals of recent years. Grilled fish like red snapper or mahi mahi once again taste too much of charred wood, as they did in the restaurant’s earliest days. Sauces also don’t seem to have the variety or finesse we had come to associate with the maturing Newport’s-the Creole sauce atop the mahi mahi and the beurre blanc accompanying the snapper were both too bland to compete with the smoky flavor of the fish. To be sure, this is still one of the city’s better seafood houses. Appetizers like crab meal quesadillas and a spicy gazpacho cocktail, pastas like one topped with shrimp in garlic butter, and desserts like the chocolate mousse flavored with Myers rum all provide happy alternatives for those who are tiring of grilled fish. 703 McKin-ney Are. in The Brewery. 954-0220. Expensive. -W.L.T.



D Revisits Oyster’s. Over the years. Oyster’s has settled down to become one of the city’s most dependable mid-priced dispensers of seafood. Though the shrimp nachos,heavy on the tomato, and the shrimp Alfredo are okaystarters, we’d recommend skipping appetizers and headingright for the main courses. The menu offers lots of friedthings-catfish fillets, shrimp, and scallops are all exceptional here. But there’s always a selection of fish receivinga more varied treatment, The crab-stuffed flounder is aboutas complicated a dish as this kitchen attempts, and it’s a fine.well-seasoned version. But the standout of our most recentvisit was a blackboard special of grilled halibut with lemonbutter; it was firm, perfectly browned and crusted on theoutside, juicy within. 4580 Belt Line, Addison. 386-0122.Moderate.. -W.LT.



D Revisits Yoli’s Seafood & Grill. There’s nopretense here-just very fresh seafood, precisely cooked,served up by a hard-working staff at remarkably low prices.There are several versions of pasta and seafood-thegarlicky shrimp scampi is tossed with a firm tangle oflinguini. The fried seafood isn’t remarkable, but the nightly specials are. We sampled grilled fresh flounder loppedwith shrimp in a delicate Newburg sauce and a perfectlycrunehy pan-fried orange roughy adorned with slivers offresh crab meat, and it was hard to choose between them.Both came with salads and a delicious combination of friedpotatoes and onions, and both were only $8.95. For dessert,the homemade bread pudding with bourbon walnut sauce remains the outstanding choice, but the Snickers pie andchocolate Chambord cake (both made off the premises) aregood alternatives. 9220 Skillman, Suite 124. 341-3533. Inexpensive. -W.LT.



THAI



D Revisits That Nipa. This is a low-profile little place,tucked blandly among other glass fronts in a LemmonAvenue strip center. Nothing Hand about the food, though,except for fried tofu that didn’t measure up to our last visit’ssampling; but even there, the sweet-hot dipping saucebrought the bread Iike littlle triangles to life. Yam Woonsen.listed as a salad, was an incendiary starter of shrimp andchicken on glass noodles, tart with time and aflame withchilies. Thai-style rice pancake was milder, ground pork andscallions tenderly rolled in soft rice sheets. Yellow-curryshrimp built slow-rising fire with onion, celery, and meatymushrooms complementing the fresh crustaceans; a house-special Cornish game hen. deep-fried sans batter and hackedinto finger-food portions, was superbly succulent. Coffee,iced and sweetened, was as excellent as always; service wasnot-orders were sweetly taken, and food sweetly brought.but after a full 20-minute wait to pay the already-tenderedcheck, I had to search the restaurant’s nether regions forsomeone to take my money. Talk about taking the edge offan otherwise pleasant evening. 4315 Lemmon Ave. 526-6179.Inexpensive to moderate. -B.C.
