Chef Jeffery Hobbs will be the executive chef at American F+B, the new comfort restaurant in Fort Worth opening in 2013. Teresa Gubbins is all over it.

Babb Bros BBQ and Blues opens this Thursday on November 29 at Trinity Groves. Nancy said it would open in early November, but you know how restaurant timelines work.
