COVID Tracker

The distribution of the vaccine is unequal, according to a Texas Tribune analysis. Among people who have received at least one shot, the percent of white recipients is in line with their proportion of the state’s population, while Hispanic and Black residents are being vaccinated at lower rates. In Texas’ most populous counties — Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, and Travis — neighborhoods with the highest proportions of Hispanic and Black residents are some of the least vaccinated areas. Advocates say that language barriers and lack of access to health care providers and transportation have contributed to these trends. Lower income individuals face challenges trying to book a vaccine appointment through a process that favors people who have easy access to the internet and transportation. The Hispanic and Black populations in Texas are younger compared with the state’s white residents, which adds to the disparities. Around 20% of the Hispanic population is under 12, and none of the vaccines are approved for children below 12. A majority of Texans age 80 and older are white.

Over 4,800 Texans have died of COVID-19 in the last month, putting the overall toll above 57,000 B Y

Hospitalizations DECREASED by 223 patients compared with a week ago. As of Sept. 5, 13,545 Texans are hospitalized for the coronavirus.

Average new deaths INCREASED by 47 deaths compared with the seven-day average a week ago. On Sept. 6, 53 new deaths were reported. What you should know The highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading rampantly in Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott is resisting statewide restrictions on businesses and has fought to ban local leaders from implementing mask and vaccine mandates.

Average new cases INCREASED by 2,538 cases compared with the seven-day average a week ago. On Sept. 6, 2,607 new confirmed cases and 1,221 new probable cases were reported.

Hospitals: After a rapid surge over the summer, COVID-19 hospitalizations have leveled off just below the pandemic’s winter peak. Still, people under 50 make up a larger share of hospital admissions, and more Texas hospitals are reporting ICU bed shortages than at any other point of the pandemic. Hospitals are struggling with historically low staffing levels, and the state is sending thousands of contract health care workers in to help. Stressed health workers are also confronting volatile visitors and patients. Ban on mask mandates: Cities, counties, and school districts in the state’s major urban areas have filed a flood of lawsuits challenging Abbott’s executive order. On Friday, the governor argued in court that

Vaccine doses reported INCREASED by 21,161 doses compared with the 30-day average a month ago. An average 82,390 vaccine doses were reported each day in the last month and 48.2% of Texans are fully vaccinated.

The percentage of residents fully vaccinated by county shows which areas have higher rates of immunization compared to the statewide rate.

he can’t enforce his mask mandate ban — it’s up to local prosecutors. Impact on schools: Texas lawmakers have approved a bill to fund virtual learning, but it would exclude students who failed their STAAR exams. More Texas students tested positive for COVID-19 between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22 than at any time last school year. At least 45 districts have shut down in-person classes due to COVID-19 cases, affecting more than 40,000 students. How many Texans have been vaccinated? As of Sept. 5, 16.7 million people have received at least one dose, which is 57.5% of Texas’ population, and 14 million people, or 48.2%, are fully vaccinated. A total of 29.5 million doses have been administered. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine requires one dose. Texas received its first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 14. The vaccines are available to everyone age 12 and older in Texas, regardless of occupation or health status. Health experts emphasize vaccinating as many people as possible to curb the virus’ spread, and 83% of Texans are age 12 and older and thus eligible for a vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends people previously infected get vaccinated because sci-

entists aren’t sure how long immunity lasts for them and vaccination further boosts protection against COVID-19. The state’s vaccination effort has faced geographic and demographic challenges, including a higher-than-average number of people who are too young to get the vaccine and around 11% of the population living in rural counties, where health care is harder to access. In whiter, more rural areas, where the fully vaccinated rate has consistently lagged the statewide rate, vaccine hesitancy is often connected to mistrust in the government. For Hispanic and Black Texans, it commonly stems from a mistrust in the health care system. State health officials initially rolled out vaccine hubs to help administer shots, but in May, the state shifted the responsibility to doctors, pharmacies, public health offices, and other, smaller providers who have closer relationships with the community. Who is getting vaccinated? The first groups eligible for vaccines were long-term care facility residents and staff, Texans age 65 and older, front-line health care workers and people age 16 and older with qualifying health conditions. The virus has mostly killed people 60 years and older, prompting urgency in efforts to vaccinate older Texans.

Where are most of the COVID-19 cases in Texas? As of Sept. 6, the state has reported around 3.7 million cases, with 3.1 million confirmed cases reported in 254 counties and 589,701 probable cases reported in 230 counties since the pandemic began. Confirmed cases are detected by molecular tests, such as PCR tests, which are taken with a nasal swab and are highly accurate, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Probable cases are detected through rapid-result antigen tests, which are faster and less accurate. These totals may differ from what county and city health departments report. The Tribune is measuring both the number of cases in each county and the rate of cases per 1,000 residents in the last two weeks. How many people have died? The first death linked to the coronavirus in Texas occurred March 15, 2020, in Matagorda County. As of Sept. 6, 57,110 people who tested positive for the virus have died in Texas. The Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DSHS) counts deaths based on death certificates that list COVID-19 as the cause of death, which excludes deaths of people with COVID-19 who died of another cause. Some regions with the highest mortality rates are predominantly Hispanic. The virus has been more deadly in Hidalgo and Cameron counties in the Rio Grande Valley, where death rates rival more populous parts of the state like Dallas and San Antonio. In El Paso County, thousands of

Dear Sen. Rich White Guy, Good afternoon, Senator. I hope you’re well. Navigating society knowing you’ll never have to experience pregnancy yourself, let alone childbirth, definitely makes things easier, am I right? That said, Senator, where does your concern for a fetus’ rights end? Let’s start with a hypothetical scenario: If you had a crystal ball, and that ball showed you with indefatigable proof that that fetus was that of a female who would one day seek an abortion, would you no longer care

about protecting her rights? Would you want that girl to be born if your crystal ball told you there was nothing you could do to prevent that child from one day seeking an abortion? Would you still claim you were concerned about her rights to life? OK, then let’s add to that thought: What if that child grew up to seek an abortion because she received news from her doctor that she would die if she did not terminate her pregnancy? The person (who you required to be born) one day will become a woman who seeks an abortion out of fear for her life. Her life is undeniably at stake if she gives birth — does

March 2020. We do not know the number of Texans who have gotten a test because some people are tested more than once. The state’s tally does not include pending tests.

How many tests have been administered? As of Sept. 5, Texas has administered 38.6 million tests for the coronavirus since

A version of this story originally appeared in the Texas Tribune. l

your concern for her right to life suddenly vanish? If so, you have just undermined yourself by proving you do not care about her right to life. You must now live with this dilemma you’ve created for yourself. By requiring a child to be born, you are requiring that fetus to one day live a life of their own, which entails making their own decisions, including some you may not agree with. Since you believe a fetus is a person, you now must consider where your supposed concern for a person’s right to life ends. We won’t even go into how that throws your whole death penalty stance out the window. That’s an existential cri-

sis for another day. Oh, wait. So you don’t like this thought experiment because you don’t believe in operating under hypotheticals? In that case, let’s go off pure facts, since that is what you suddenly seem more interested in: Fact 1: Women will seek abortions whether you like it or not, independent of whether it’s legal. Fact 2: The vast majority of abortions are not performed as a form of birth control but rather because of circumstances such as rape, incest, and life-threatening health complications for the fetus and/or the mother.

The Texas Tribune is using daily data from DSHS to track coronavirus vaccinations, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. The state data comes from vaccine providers, city and county health departments, hospitals, and laboratories. It may not represent all cases of the disease given limited testing.

How many coronavirus tests are coming back positive? The positivity rate measures how prevalent the virus is in Texas. A rate over 10%

puts states in the “red zone,” according to federal guidance. During Texas’ two largest outbreaks, the rate exceeded 20%, meaning one in five tests were positive. This rate is calculated by dividing the average number of confirmed cases by the average number of molecular tests conducted over the last seven days. This shows how the situation has changed over time by deemphasizing daily swings. DSHS reports a second positivity rate based only on rapid-result antigen tests, which detect probable cases. As of Sept. 3, the rate was 8.6% out of 6.5 million tests.

SEPTEMBERE 8-14, 2021

How many new cases are reported each day? The state reports the number of new confirmed cases and probable cases of the coronavirus in Texas each day, which excludes backlogged cases. The number of new cases reported drops on weekends, when labs are less likely to report new data to the state. New variants of the coronavirus that seem to spread more easily have been found in Texas, though preliminary studies suggest that vaccinations are still effective against the variants.

The state reports very limited demographic data for people who have had COVID-19, so the impact on Texans of color is difficult to measure. There are 589,701 known probable cases in 230 counties, including 1,221 newly reported cases on Sept. 6. The state began reporting probable cases, which can be detected through antigen tests, in November. A total of 24 counties, including Harris, Travis, and El Paso, are not reporting probable cases to the state, though antigen tests may take place there.

Fact 3: Many women seek an abortion even though they wanted to have a child because circumstances beyond their control have left them with no other viable options. She may have been actively trying to have a child, but that was no longer an option. These circumstances include cases in which 1.) their child would be born without a developed brain (anencephaly) and would die shortly after birth, 2.) they themselves would die (in which case, don’t you care about that mother’s right to life?), 3.) both the mother and child would die, and 4.) the child’s life ended before it came to term (miscarriage). There are other examples, of course, but for brevity we’ll leave it at four for now. Please explain to the congregation how you can excuse requiring these women to not seek abortion services. Then follow up with an explanation as to how you can still claim you care about someone’s rights, given the facts outlined above. I’ll wait. While you compose your rebuttal, Senator, I’d just like to say how pleased I am that you feel so good about yourself these days. It’s probably reassuring to know you might never have to look a grieving mother in the face and tell her your church group is proud of her for delivering a stillborn child. You probably won’t ever have to look into your child’s eyes every day and see the face of your rapist staring back at you. Being detached from such inconveniences probably helps you sleep at night, right? That being said, I would like to know how you can imagine that difficult conversation, imagine what that must feel like, and still tell yourself that requiring mothers to experience traumas is somehow you “minimizing harm” in the long run. Keep in mind, you have now sentenced women across the state to die purely because you didn’t like the decisions they’d make otherwise — decisions that never involved you but the pain of which will carry over onto future generations of Texans. You’ve likely gotten used to blocking the idea that your daughter or wife may one day suffer or die because of what you’ve done by passing this legislation. After all, acknowledging that would force you to rethink what your minister told you — and obviously he’s the one who knows best. How do you go to work — at a job that’s supposed to be about representing your constituency (including women) — under the delusion that you’ve helped the public, given that all you’ve done now is made life more dangerous and painful for the women in your state?

I hope you recognize that this legislation is the opposite of “small government.” This is you endorsing the government’s intrusion into personal medical decisions. How does that coincide with your beliefs on required vaccinations? Surely, if you think we need to protect children long-term, you wouldn’t object to obligatory vaccines. That would just be hypocritical and undermine the narrative you’ve been feeding the public for years! What a notion! Sir, please outline your plans for providing free grief counseling to the women who will now undergo medical trauma. Since you care about minimizing harm, I mean. Because surely you also have some plans for how you’re going to assist the mothers who now have to raise children who were the result of incestual rape, right? Likewise, I’m sure you’re also going to endorse legislation increasing funding for social services for the children who will now be put up for adoption. Let’s cut the shit, Senator. We both know you’re not going to do a damn thing about childcare support or reforming a problematic foster system. We both know you don’t care about a child’s rights once that child is born. If you did, you would have cared more about the Hispanic children who were taken from their mothers at the border, a move your party supported and made excuses for (none of which had to do with child welfare). If you cared about the rights of infants, you would expand CHIP and afford new parents universal paid maternity/paternity leave. Someone who genuinely cares about children and minimizing harm would advocate for children to be protected in their schools against threats like COVID-19, gun violence, and race-motivated violence from police. By all means, go on telling yourself whatever ridiculous, apocryphal nonsense you need to avoid the nightmares tonight, but whatever you do, Senator, don’t you dare lie to the public and call yourself pro-life. What you are is proforced childbirth. And while considering how wrong you think it is for strangers to decide how you raise your children, or what you do with your own body (i.e., masks in public), remember what God does to those who willfully harm others.

local politicians took the stage, backed by fluttering Texas and American flags, to condemn the recent open-carry law as well as SB 8, which places a ban on any and all abortions after six weeks and allows to sue anyone who aided or participated in an abortion performed after the six-week mark. The twin lightning rods of modern politics — the Second Amendment and abortion rights — had been touched, and one could be excused for expecting not

a woman was holding out her phone at the gold-sign woman, asking, “Can I please get a photo with you and your sign? I just love it.” The two women posed together, the gold sign held up below their smiling faces. And who wouldn’t love her sign? “Fucking sue me,” it proclaimed, three words to sum up how all in attendance at the Take Back Texas Rally felt. As the rally ended, at least five people were packed around The Sign, smiling brightly, talking over one another, asking for another picture, and trying to sort out which phone belonged to whom. Gus, a tall, well-muscled man with a cowboy hat resting naturally on his head

and a Black Lives Matter shirt stretched across his chest, had been one of the five packed around the “Fucking sue me” sign. After his photo-op was over, he found his phone and waved thank you and goodbye to the group still posing next to the poster. When asked why he came all the way out to Burnett Park on a Saturday afternoon in near-triple-digit heat, his answer was as blunt as the glittery gold sign he had posed with. “Abortion is not just to protect women,” Gus said. “It protects men from the pain of being a failed, shitty father. A man carries that his whole life.” Since the short, hurried speeches had covered all the predictable talking points

and the ink-on-cardboard slogans seemed to strike the right chord with the audience, the Tarrant County Democrats are left with a few difficult questions to answer. Will the return to normal and polite political rallies be able to stir sufficient passion to deliver Texas, a state that has not voted for the Democrat presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, back into the hands of the Democrat party? And are political theories and policies important any longer, or are rallies just one more thing that exist to supply people with a pic to post? l

only the speakers but the attendants as well to be visibly shaken from the shock, but both the speeches and the crowd’s response were mostly sedate. City Councilmember Chris Nettles, whose District 8 stretches from West Meadowbrook to Willow Creek, delivered the most impassioned address, saying, “We will not be quiet. We will not sit down. We will not shut up. This will be the year for the Democrats,” a sentiment that roused some cheers and polite applause. His speech was also noteworthy in that it was one of the only times that President Joe Biden’s name was mentioned. And how, with the President’s approval rating beginning to slip, will the Democrats seize the day, let alone the year, as promised? The answer, which came later and in more than a few speeches, was simple, as it always is: money. In the most recent round of elections in Tarrant County, Republicans outspent Democrats three to one. After the tumultuous Trump news cycle, in which accusation and hyperbole and hyperbolic accusations were flying fast and free from all sides, boilerplate rhetoric about how “We will not sit down” and statistics about campaign expenditures come off as bland, droning, and, somehow, old-fashioned. Not that long ago, political rallies were places where tears were shed, stories were shared to swells of strangers which were so personal they bordered on confession, and the average citizen could feel such passion for a cause that they would flood streets. The rhetoric may have been heavy on personal expression and light on policy prescriptions, but at least it was stirring. The signs on Saturday, though, were perfection, as one would expect, given that those on the political left had more than four years to sharpen their poster prose against Trump, Fox News, and antimaskers. As one speaker after another took the stage, it was the posters that got the attention. People, hunched over, with cell phones in hand, weaved their way through the crowd, snapping pictures of all the signage. One person wore a shirt that read, “Don’t like abortions? Just ignore them. Just like you ignore children in foster care.” One of the most common images was a coat hanger, stemming from the belief that there will be a return to back-alley abortions should SB 8 not be overturned. While a TCU professor endeavored to explain why so many school boards have had such great difficulty articulating the need for Critical Race Theory (CRT) to quell the rancor of suburban parents, a queue about five people deep was forming around a woman with a glittery gold sign. “CRT is the way that we can understand the system of racism that surrounds us,” Professor Max Krochmal was onstage telling the audience all while

STUFF Cowboys Season Preview

Is this year’s team a potential Super Bowl contender, or will we be looking forward to the ’22 draft by midNovember?

Somehow it still feels like we’re only a few months into it and yet, simultaneously, that we’re reliving no less than the third consecutive year of 2021, but whether you swear the Fourth of July was just last weekend or you’re absolutely sure it’s at least October 2025, we have officially made it! Lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen (and gender-nonconforming folks of all persuasions), it is finally football season! That’s right. Liberally apply that precious salve that comes to soothe the sudden rug-burn inflammation of the mind that accompanies the chaos abruptly borne from school being back in session, the 95-degree evening soccer or flag-football practices, and various family meetings. That much-longed-for weekly distraction from parental and vocational responsibilities is at last here to save you from life’s far more important obligations. However, your Dallas Cowboys have quickly run out of time to bask in the comfy warm space that exists between training camp — when all things are looking up, you’re positive your team has certainly improved, and when the season’s possibilities are endless — and the first real game, when all of that bullishness can come crashing down, forcing you to realize your team probably sucks again. By the time many read this, that fall could have already happened. Dallas draws TB12 and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in the nationally televised Thursday Night Football game to open the season this week. You won’t find a truer test of how well

Zeke looking like a version of his college-freshman self is one reason to drink the silver-andblue Kool-Aid this year.

your offseason work has paid off (or hasn’t) than that. Any sane betting person would have marked an L next to this game when the schedule came out regardless of how well you might think the Cowboys have improved, so if Dallas limps back home with a loss on Friday, it shouldn’t really impact your evaluation of the team going forward, especially now considering right guard Zack Martin, the only player on the Cowboys roster to crack the NFL Top 100 list, will be watching Thursday’s game from home while nursing a breakthrough COVID case instead of being on the field. Fine. Fully expect the ’Boys to open the season 0-1. But now that there’s an extra regular season game, we can just pretend it doesn’t exist and look toward a usual 16game season’s worth of contests left to play, and I believe there’s plenty to retain some of that preseason bullishness over. I know what you’re thinking, and I think it, too. Here we go again. For the

26th year in a row, we’re all gonna line up, take a long refreshing pull from the annually dispensed silver-and-blue KoolAid, and get hyped for this team to finally return to some semblance of their previous glory — a glory that existed so long ago, a large swathe of their fanbase wasn’t even alive — only to end the season bemoaning the mediocrity that has come to define this franchise for all of the 21st century. Yet, like many previous years, there’s plenty to drink up from that sweet, sweet preseason sugar water. Chiefly, the Cowboys get their MVP-caliber quarterback back under center. After finally signing a record-breaking deal over the summer, No. 4 is back, his ankle looks good, and he seems to have put his tweaked throwing shoulder injury behind him. In front of him, Prescott also gets back his two Pro Bowl-worthy tackles who missed all of 2020. Martin will be back Week 2, so going forward, Prescott should have the best protection he’s had in two years.

On the outside, he’s armed with probably the second-best wide receiver trio in the league (that Brown-Evans-Godwin combo in Tampa likely just tops them) with Amari Cooper, second-year standout CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup in a contract year, not to mention matchup nightmare TE Blake Jarwin coming back from an ACL injury that kept him out of all but one game last year. In the backfield, running back Zeke Elliott looks as lithe as he was as a freshman at Ohio State, and the speed with a burst he’s lacked the last couple of years looks like it could be back. This offense should have no trouble being among the very best in football. But what about the defense, you ask? Here things get a bit dicier, but again, there’s plenty of sweetness to savor from your blue Solo™ cup. Admittedly, though, when you finish 31st overall as a unit last year, there’s really nowhere to go but up. New defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has brought in a simplified scheme compared to the confusing mess Mike Nolan was trotting out last year, which should at the very least help his players know where to line up (anything but a guarantee a year ago). In addition, he’s filled the roster with the length and speed he reportedly covets and which he used to help make Seattle’s Legion of Boom secondary so famous during the mid-teens. Add in a linebacking core with unprecedented depth, led by a potential Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate in first-round pick Micah Parsons, and a beefier yet quicker line, and you might just raise this defense to middle-of-the-pack, a range that can be worked with if you’ve got postseason aspirations. Perhaps the thing most working in the Cowboys’ favor this year is the ding-dong division in which they play. The Washington Football Team (a oncehilarious name that has actually grown on me to the point that I hope they never change it) has a monster defense, but their lack of offensive weapons and a very upand-down quarterback in the 87-yearold Ryan Fitzpatrick should make them manageable. New York and Philly will probably make a little jump from last year, but their QB situations are worse than Football Team’s, which neutralizes any other improvements they’ve made. All told, with a middle-of-the-road schedule, even considering the likely 0-1 start, I can see Dallas handily winning the NFC East with a 10-7 record. Now, whether they fall into historical habits and suffer a first-round bounce at the hands of a Wild Card team or do something they haven’t done in a quarter century and make it to the conference final, I don’t know if I’ve quite swallowed enough of the Jerry Jonestown special to get a feel for. Let me see if I can get a drop or two more out of my cup. l

STAGE Knitting Factory

With Sweater Curse, Elaine Liner takes playwriting to the fringe. B R O W N

The term started in Edinburgh, Scotland, at their first big arts festival after World War II. It was created to bring tourists and artists back to the Scottish capital. Nine small theater companies performed on the fringes of the actual festival, and the name stuck. Now, there are fringe festivals all over the world, with Edinburgh’s being the largest. I’ve appeared in lots of them and have done the Edinburgh Fringe twice. What’s your show about?

in Edinburgh, I saw men in kilts knitting in pubs. It was kind of a major turn-on. Why do fringe festivals?

As a playwright and solo artist, I’m looking for ways to get my stuff in front of audiences and having control over it. Fringe performers are artists/ entrepreneurs. We have to do our own fundraising, make all the travel plans, find lodging, Sweater Curse: A Yarn be stage managers, know About Love our tech stuff, and handle Fri-Sun at the Fort Worth marketing and promotion. Community Arts Center, 1300 Gendy St, FW. $11. I like the solo aspect of it, 817-731-2238. though it does make the cast parties a little lonely.

Mostly my lifelong obsession with knitting, but the title refers to an old wives’ tale that says you should never knit a sweater for the one you love. They’ll walk out on you before you finish the sweater. It’s been true in my life. It took a long time to find someone sweater-worthy, it turns out, but I take lots of funny little diversions in the show into myths and legends about knitters and great knitters in literature and movies — Bette Davis knits in lots of her movies in the 1940s. I’ve just added a mention of Olympic diver Tom Daley, who knitted poolside throughout the games. He really raised the image of men who knit, by the way. When I did the show

Colloquially known by the acronym PAC, Preservation Is the Art of the City holds a juried show — and sale of paintings — by local artists during Fort Worth’s annual Gallery Week. The artists selected by Historic Fort Worth, Inc. (1110 Penn St, 817-336-2344) will be celebrated at 6:30pm Thu at Party with the Artists. Tickets are $150 per person and include hors d’oeuvres and spirits. Then on Fri from 9am to 6pm and 2pm-9pm Sat, the public is invited to attend PAC’s official Gallery Night celebration for free. More than 200 works of art from 60 artists will be on display and available for purchase. Scott Winterrowed, director of the Sid Richardson Museum (309 Main St, Fort Worth, 817-332-6554), will select the 2021 artist award winners. This year, both PAC events are being held at First on 7th, the mid-century modern office building at 500 West 7th St, to celebrate the connection between art and architecture. The location is apropos for such an endeavor. The building is

known for its sculpture on the 7th Street Plaza side of the property. Made by artist Isamu Noguchi, it is a real architectural work of art in and of itself. PAC’s 2021 honorees are Paula Taylor and her husband Ron Taylor, both PhDs. Paula is the program director for the Fort Worth Public Library Foundation (@FWPLF), where she implements the college application program known as LaunchPad. Ron is an author and the former director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (3501 Camp Bowie Blvd, 817-738-1933). This year’s featured artist is Fort Worth transplant Cindi Holt, whose works are held in many private collections and showcased in the George W. Bush Presidential Center (2943 SMU Blvd, Dallas, 214-200-4300). Born in California in 1952, Holt graduated from California State University with a degree in speech communications. After moving to Fort Worth in the 1970s, she began painting in the mid 1980s. Holt was encouraged not to take art courses due to her natural talent.

backstory is shared by some of our city’s most excellent chefs, including Jon Bonnell and Juan Rodriguez. Thanks to the raised bed gardens in the back of the restaurant, Hill gets to play a little with farming in a restaurant that’s firmly citybound. For starters, the roasted parmesan oysters were a delightful riff on a Low Country Southern favorite: Grill the oysters, then serve with a lot of butter and a sprinkle of salty parmesan cheese. The four mollusks came beautifully presented on a bed of rock salt, and the buttery, salty oyster liquor was so good that my table of two considered getting an order of biscuits to sop up the deliciousness. We also ordered a Bergie salad as a second starter, and the combo of fresh butter lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, and the piquant, unusual green buttermilk ranch dressing was a cool treat. The clump of blue cheese in the center of the round of lettuce somehow got spread out enough so that every bite of the salad had a pungent punch. I was a little surprised that the Texas redfish came with gumbo as gravy, splashed across the plate. The immaculately fresh white fish wasn’t hurt by the spicy gumbo, but it made it a little harder to appreciate the flavors. But the combo of the N’awlins staple, fresh fish, and toothsome grits reached into a part of my heart, or maybe my stomach, that had seen far too little Southern comfort food. The addition of peppery microgreens was all the extra zing needed for the dish. However, I quibble with the interpretation of “cheese grits” here –– adding shredded cheese to the admirably savory, slightly chunky grits does not cheese grits make. The ribeye came out naked but for a little au jus on a plate. If you’ve ever been to Del Frisco’s, there’s that point at handoff when a server will ask you to slice into your steak to see if it’s just like you want it. No coincidence ––

Greg Kalina, who was a fixture at Del’s as a manager forever –– is the managing partner here. A lot of the white tablecloth pizazz may come with his help. The steak was a good size, but we regretted not sharing another side to sop up the jus. Fortunately, there were enough grits to go around, and the steak was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and needed nothing else. It’s definitely worth saving room for dessert, especially if the chocolate crème brûlée is on the menu. A tiny, oblong trough of the crunchy-topped custard came out with small, malted milk balls and some hearty shortbread cookies. The cold pudding’s immaculately crispy crust actually echoed a bit when we spooned into it. If you still have room, the boozy, espresso-anointed SH Carajillo makes for the ideal combo for an after-dinner splurge. The restaurant was most recently a salon, so it’s subdivided into more intimate rooms with a couple of cute patio spaces that will be lovely in another month or so. The place started out as an actual house in the 1940s, which is about as historic as Colleyville gets. This also explains the bigcity parking boondoggle — the restaurant has valet service along with some parking available in neighboring shops that are only open during the day. If you visited the Stone House in its first three months post-opening, you didn’t actually sample Hill’s cuisine, but he got here as soon as he could, and if you haven’t had the chance, it’s well worth crossing the county for. l

1.) In the Best Latin/Caribbean Food category last year, our Critic’s Choice winner was Ático (2315 N Main St, 682255-5112). Since the initial craze for tapas missed our city about 20 years ago, this rooftop haven at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott overlooks the Stockyards and makes up for lost time. The kitchen’s patatas bravas (spicy potatoes) are almost filling enough to be an entree, with steaming hot hunks of potato housed in an exterior crunchy enough to put your French fries to shame. Delectable Tennessee ham comes on a charcuterie board with pickled vegetables whose sourness offsets the funk of the meat, and Catalan-style flatbread makes a nice vehicle for other meats and cheeses. Don’t forget to top it off with Pedro Ximénez sherry poured over vanilla ice cream, the way the Spaniards do it.

3.) We also had a Best Taco category in Best Of 2020. Our critic and the readers both picked Mariachi’s Dine-In (5724 Locke Av, 682-760-9606) as the winner. Originally nestled in the back of a nondescript gas station, Mariachi’s new brick-and-mortar location still offers the same authentic Mexican food and the occasional trending foodie fad. The bump in sales from Mariachi’s birria tacos — along with a focus on to-go orders — kept the small taqueria afloat, Chef Angel Fuentes told us. The simple but delicious dish has been so instrumental in helping his business that he plans to name his first child Birria Fuentes. He’s joking — we think. 4.) Don’t forget the tamales! Our 2020 Critic’s Choice for Best Tamales was Esperanza’s Restaurant & Bakery. Though Esperanza’s has two locations in Fort Worth (2122 N Main St, 817-626-5770 and 1601 Park Pl Av, 817-923-1961), all of the tamale-makin’ action happens at the Northside spot. With classic, incredibly tender pork tamales made fresh daily, the Joe T. Garcia’s spinoff has been satisfying tamale lovers year-round (not only during the holidays) for years. 5.) Sometimes, you just need a quick taco. In the Best Taqueria category in Best Of 2020, our Critic’s Choice winner was Los Taco H’s (3025 Cleburne Rd, 817-585-3522 and 2108 E Rosedale St, 817-564-4329). Since prices range from $1.89 to $2.39 apiece, you can pretty much afford to try every taco on the menu, but if you’re a lightweight, go for the suadero

Since our annual Best Of 2021 is just a couple weeks away — have you voted yet? — here are some Hispanicowned restaurants that have won awards in our recent past. These businesses will help feed our resilience and fuel our hope for the future.

enchiladas slathered in hatch chile sauce, mole, or verde sauce, you’ll find what makes you happy here. The simple perfection of cheese enchiladas in a lake of rich red ancho chile sauce with tiny chopped onion is not to be missed. While this place is for enchilada purists, you’ll also find queso, taco salad, tostadas, quesadillas, nachos, and a Keto avocado plate if you’re hating on the corn carbs these days.

now –– and you can grab both the cheese and carne de res versions daily –– but have you ever tried a birria tamale? Albondigas (meatball soup) and traditional guisado hang out on the menu with tortas, street tacos, and other bits and pieces of classic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant has expanded to include a bar area, so you can sop up your drinks with birria tacos until 2am.

Enchiladas Ole serves Mexican done better, “the way I remember making enchiladas with my mother,” Mary Perez says.

(beef) and pastor (marinated pork). All tacos are served on double-ply soft corn tortillas, packed with plenty of meat and loaded with the kind of flavor it takes all day to coax up. There are plenty of vegetarian options, too. The self-serve section of house-made salsas and necessary taco toppings is a must, particularly the tomatillo and creamy jalapeño salsas. Oh, and on Tuesdays, pastor, chicken, and carnitas tacos are just a dollar all day. What are you waiting for, an invitation? 6.) As we are in North Texas, we cannot ignore the sub-category that is Tex-Mex. Last year, our Critic’s Choice winner for Best Tex-Mex was Enchiladas Ole (2418 Forest Park Blvd, Fort Worth, 817-9841360 and 9005 N Tarrant Pkwy, NRH, 817-849-2451). Owner Mary Perez whips up enchiladas like the kind her mama used to make with her when Perez was little. No preservatives (and, if you care about such things, no lard) means that everything is made fresh daily. Whether you want your

7.) Speaking of Tex-Mex, in Best Of 2019, we also had a Best Mex-Mex category, and our Critic’s Choice winner was Birrieria los Chivas de Oro (4221 Hemphill St, 817-927-2400). The Zacatecas-style Mexican eatery serves uncommonly fresh fare, and the kitchen boasts a true flare for presentation. Our favorites include the shrimp ceviche cooked in lime and orange juices and maybe the best caldo de pollo (chicken soup) in town. Visit this authentic, popular Southside spot for the food, stay for the hilarious murals depicting oversized golden goat testicles. 8.) Back in 2019, we honored one of the area’s top influencers, Chef Juan Rodriguez of Magdalena’s (502 Grand Av, 817-7408085), with the Critic’s Choice award for Best Chef. Rodriguez steadily climbed his way up through kitchens over the last 15 years, from becoming the youngest chef in Reata’s pantheon to owning his own catering/supper club venue, but it was his performance on Food Network’s Chopped that should have tipped you off. In addition to repping his hometown proudly (hey, we are FW-D), the techniques Rodriguez displayed while making culinary magic out of galangal, marsh snail vinegar, croissants, and a Swedish princess cake were miles ahead of his competitors. He was tagged as the guy to beat, and even though he didn’t win the episode (thanks in part to that baker chick’s dislike of dairy), Rodriguez won hearts with his style and humility. l

As a steady fixture in the Texas country scene since his first album, 2005’s From Underneath the Old, Jason Eady has touched on myriad country sounds. Beginning with the fairly standard roots rock of his debut to the more bluesy feel of When the Money’s All Gone and the two-steppin’ honkytonk of AM Country Heaven, he’s dabbled in all of the conventional C&W motifs, but something changed around the

Eady: “I’ve never felt this way about a record.”

release of 2014’s Daylight and Dark. With tracks like “Causes: Temptation” and “Consequences: Whisky & You,” Eady began to explore a more confessional tone. Stripping songs of blazing Tele runs and catgut-meting fiddle, he set out to put the focus on just his voice and acoustic guitar. Gradually, his successive albums trended more and more in this direction, with an uncluttered highlighting of simple, naked songwriting. With his latest album, Eady intentionally decided to lean into this aesthetic more consciously than he’s ever done before. The resulting To the Passage of Time represents his most bare and confessional music yet, and, because it is so, it’s likely his best as well. “I experimented with a lot of things over my first five records,” he said, “and at the time that I did every one of them, it was [a result of] where I was at. It wasn’t contrived. I tried a lot of different sounds, a bigger band, touring with a five-piece band, that sort of thing. And at the time, I meant it. But over time, I’ve really just settled into the songwriting thing. Now it’s just really where my head is at and really where my heart is.” On Passage, Eady said he and his producer, Band of Heathens’ Gordy Quist, set out to intentionally try to create his starkest and most stripped-down album so far. “This record was the most conscious choice I’ve made to do [a more intimate sound] than any other record I’ve done,”

FO R T WO R T H W E E K LY

Eady said, explaining he was inspired by albums from the likes of Guy Clark and John Prine. “When you listen to those records, they have full bands on them, but it’s so in the background, just so supportive,” he said, “so when you went to see those guys live, they were usually solo or maybe as a duo, and you didn’t miss any of that. The songs were still there. I wanted to make a record where if I performed solo, the audience didn’t miss anything.” Like his inspirations Clark and Prine, Eady did employ top-flight session players on Passage, but their performances are understated, nearly hidden, the focus being on “serving the song,” giving the lyric and Eady’s vocal the room to stand out all the more. “These are fantastic handpicked musicians that I just love,” Eady said. “When we were recording, they sat in the control room and weren’t allowed

into the [tracking] room until they could justify what they wanted to do. To their credit, there’s songs that don’t have bass or don’t have drums. Everybody was tasteful enough and classy enough to where if they didn’t have anything [truly necessary] to add, they just didn’t. They put their egos aside — because everyone wants to play — but that’s not a very common thing.” The sparse accompaniment lends the album’s 10 tracks an extra dose of intimacy, a sonic choice that Eady hopes will help recreate a bit of the atmosphere where the material was conceived. Much of the album was written in just two days as Eady found himself riding a wave of inspiration, staying in his bedroom and writing one song after the other, never leaving, even taking his meals in the room. He’d begin by taking pieces of ideas or lines from his notebook and expanding them until he completed a song. Once done, he found he felt like there was more there, and he’d

continue working until another track was finished. Six of Passage’s songs were from this two-day burst of creative energy. “It wasn’t my intention to do it that way,” Eady said, “and it’s really counter to my normal process, but I was riding a wave, and I just felt like if I didn’t keep going, I’d lose something.” Eady said the evolution from Red Dirt rocker to confessional singer-songwriter was a slow one, one he felt he had to grow into. “I had to grow into it, for sure,” he said. “Other people may not have had to take that path, but I had to, for sure. I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that that’s what I wanted to do, but I just never had the … I don’t know if ‘confidence’ is the right word, but … it’s really almost about learning to trust yourself more than anything else.” It takes a comfort level with your craft to lay bare the bones of a song, uncomplicated by lush production and

instrumental virtuosity. It leaves only the artist and his or her words and voice to paint the sonic picture. Perhaps no song illustrates the upclose-and-personal vibe Eady sought on the album more than the single “French Summer Sun.” A talk-sing story song, it recalls the immersive, sitting-right-in-thesame-room aura of Johnny Cash’s American Recordings series. Subtle fingerpicked guitar is the only musical aspect to sit behind Eady’s spoken word. All albums are meaningful to an artist, but Eady admits To the Passage of Time holds an extra special place in his heart. “I’ve never felt this way about a record,” he explained. “This is the most intentional I’ve ever been about an album as far as the production goes. We set out to make a very specific kind of record and were very intentional about how the record should sound. And we got it. We got exactly what we set out to do.” l

Our first stop would have to be Tulips FTW (112 St. Louis Av, 817-3679798). Though we would probably miss happy hour (4pm-7pm with $5 tallboys, frozen cocktails, draft cocktails, and wells, plus 25% draft beers), we would be able to catch one of Dallas’ coolest acts, Kyoto Lofi, and Denton’s math-rocking Dome Dwellers open for headliners The Palms out of L.A. Tickets are at Prekindle. That would be if we didn’t skip out

after Kyoto to catch some Oasis and Pulp at MASS (1002 S Main St, 682-707-7774) — on wax, that is. The Good Mixer is a DJ set of all Britpop and indie classics spun by the Movement Music Club. Started in 2014 in Dallas, the “indie disco club” has finally made its way to yon Fort. The Good Mixer is free and starts at 9pm. Note: Oasis and Pulp will not be performing at MASS. Neither is a band anymore, for one thing. For another, MASS isn’t that big. And we’re in Fort Worth. Try to keep up. There is another interesting-to-me live music option Saturday night, and it can make you feel a whole lot better than any amount of hard seltzers and spirited convos could. At 6pm at Lola’s Trailer

If there’s one thing I miss about the midaughts, it’s the old Fall Gallery Nights, which used to be wheels-off. I’m talking, unlimited free booze, everyone looking fly, fun conversations with people you liked but didn’t get to see often (or even correspond with — this was preFakebook), and always a rocking show later (at the Wreck Room or Aardvark, most likely), followed by a legendary after-party at some muso’s or groupie’s house. Shit is so mature now, but let me just say, I’m grateful for that. The old way was untenable. It was great while it lasted but ultimately destructive. Things are much better now because maturity sucks but knowing it’s good for you is a sure sign of maturity. Or something. While the missus and I are still unsure what, if anything, we’re doing Saturday for Fall Gallery Night, we do know that if we were less mature, relatively speaking, we would wrap up our tour of galleries (Artspace 111, William Campbell, Fort Works Art, in that order, for you kids keeping score at home) with a trip to the Near Southside. That’s where two interesting-to-me shows are happening.
