OPENING LETTER

they are all good pets S TA F F & C O N T R I B U T O R S PUBLISHER Mike Tesoriero Mike@SouthlakeStyle.com SALES AND MARKETING DIRECTOR Nicole Tesoriero Nicole@SouthlakeStyle.com ASSISTANT EDITOR Ashley Madonna AMadonna@SouthlakeStyle.com

STAFF WRITER David Dunn David@SouthlakeStyle.com CREATIVE DIRECTOR Bruce Sons ADVERTISING COORDINATOR Andrea Hatchett Andrea@SouthlakeStyle.com MARKETING & EVENTS COORDINATOR Kristan Borges Krisan@SouthlakeStyle.com BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE Jenn Rich Jenn@SouthlakeStyle.com

I am an animal lover — like stop you so I can pet your puppy, look forward to new tweets from @WeRateDogs, communicate through funny GIFs featuring furfalls, stroll past a dog park even when I don’t have my own kind of fan. I can admit to all of these behaviors because I know I’m not alone. Southlake cherishes its pets. Whether locals are trotting them through Art in the Square, serving them top-shelf treats from Hollywood Feed or making Instagrams for their fluffy family members, this town is dedicated. When it came to our second annual “Southlake Stylin' Pets Contest,” I knew we would get submissions. What I didn’t know would be the sheer number of spectacular shots we’d receive, each of which brought everyone here at Southlake Style so much joy. We did have the chance to showcase a few in the pages ahead, but there were many more adorable animals that were exclusively featured online. So if you haven’t already, head over to SouthlakeStyle.com to see all of your loveable submissions, still up for display. You’ll meet a curious macaw Khole, a sporty waterdog Yogi and even an one-eyed cat named Bullseye. If yours wasn’t honored in print, just know they are all good pets — so take him or her out on the town this month. We offer suggestions in our Snippets’ listicle, “10 Ways To Pamper Your Pup.” With acres of park land and a nature center dedicated to his legacy, Southlake also has a special place in its heart for Bob Jones. This month, we share the local legend’s story in “How Southlake Remembers Bob Jones.” Whether you want to know more about the man, enjoy the preserve’s dog park or see what animals live on the property, there’s plenty to explore and even more to learn. Proving that pet owner or not, there’s much to fawn over in this month’s issue.

Happy reading!

THE KING OF CROWS BY LIBBA BRAY FEBRUARY 4 Supernatural warriors resist the undead while hunted by the government.

(Awards) Season Greetings

rom the Lombardi to the Oscar to whatever the “Masked Singer” trophy is supposed to be, February is all about statuettes that confirm the careers of actors, athletes and B-list celebrities. Starting off the shiny-statue season is the 54th Super Bowl, which airs on

Feb. 2 from the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. We’re relieved to say

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE ON NBC FEBRUARY 6 Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher star in the seventh season of this cop comedy. ( pictured )

the Patriots won’t be there this year. Tom Brady could do everyone a favor by retiring early and keeping the Patriots from making a comeback next season. After Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are done putting everything “On The Floor” during the half-time show, some may forget to change the channel and back their way into watching Fox’s season three premiere of “The Masked Singer.” Who will be behind the costumes of the big, fuzzy creatures singing to Ken Jeong? We don’t know but suffice to say it can’t be previous winners T-Pain or Wayne Brady.

HOMELAND ON SHOWTIME FEBRUARY 9 Claire Danes returns in the eighth and final season of this espionage series.

When you’re ready for real red carpet entertainment, tune in to ABC on Feb. 9 for the 92nd Academy Awards live from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. We love seeing streaming services like Netflix get some attention with the likes of the gangster drama “The Irishman” and the divorce eulogy “Marriage Story,” yet we’re just as excited to see historical epics like “1917” and dark comedies like “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” also snag nominations. We’re not sure who’s going to walk away with the Oscar for best picture, but we’re pretty sure Warren Beatty won’t be reading J. Lo's name

ask An. . EPIC ANIMAL RESCUE CO-FOUNDER TALKS SAVING, REHABILITATING ANIMALS.

HOW MANY ANIMALS DO YOU TAKE CARE OF? In a year’s time, we care for about 400 animals. Finding a new home for a foster animal takes an average of three weeks. We have about 35 foster homes, and we have about 15 animals in the program at any given time.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GET INTO ANIMAL RESCUE IN THE FIRST PLACE? I purchased a dog, and that dog was absolutely nuts. I was trying to get ahold of his breeder to find out what was going on with him. I found out that he came from a puppy mill.

HOW DOES EPIC ANIMAL RESCUE HELP ANIMALS IN THE AREA? We take in animals that are from shelters all across North Texas as well as animals found on the streets. From there, we have them seen by a vet and fully vetted. Then, we work to find them their forever home.

WHAT IS LIVING IN A FOSTER HOME LIKE FOR ANIMALS? Some dogs come in that have actually never been in a house before, so they learn all of the sounds of what it’s like being in a home.

ANIMAL RESCUE WORKER

Tressa Broadhead HOW MANY PETS DO YOU HAVE? I have three dogs and one cat. I have a husky named Callie, a dachshund mix named Zoe, and we just adopted a little Maltese-dachshundPomeranian mix named Roxy. Then there’s our cat, Ally — not to mention a carousel of fosters that come and go. HOW LONG HAVE YOU RESCUED ANIMALS? About 14 years. I was with another group for a good 11 years before starting Epic Animal Rescue. WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES LEADING YOUR NONPROFIT? Finding and managing volunteers can be a little bit of a struggle. Also, because we are a nonprofit and we are low-budget, it’s really getting our message out there that can be a challenge. WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU HOPE PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT RESCUE ANIMALS? There’s a lot of really fantastic animals available in rescue. You’re going to find some purebreds. The average age of an animal in rescue is about 1 year old. There are some really great animals out there that I wish people would just give a chance.

With more than double the entries of our first go-around, it’s safe to say the Southlake Stylin’ Pets Contest, sponsored by Hollywood Feed, was a success. We fawned over Southlake’s fluffy felines, posh puppies, cool cats and darling dogs and somehow put together a collec tion of some of our favorite local pets. And because we just received too many stylish pet entries, we added a new voting category: best dressed! We hope the pages ahead filled with this year’s winners bring you as much joy as it did to our team. SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

ROSIE Chinese Shar-Pei With more wrinkles than you can count, 3-year-old Rosie made an adorable addition to the Petrovsky family when they brought her home as a 10-week-old puppy. Rosie now spends her days snuggling, playing and guarding her family. She loves to be included in the household’s activities and often tilts her head as if she’s saying, “Well, what about me?” As her owner Robin says, “Her personality shines through her cute exterior and makes her so special!”

FINN Persian Tabby Finn, a precious 6-month-old kitten, is anything but aloof. His playful nature and affectionate side often have him running around the Kaplan house looking for cuddling opportunities, either with his human family members or his furry sister Roxie, a corgiyorkie mix. His extremely soft white coat does not shed, proving he is the perfect fit for his family and his mom Maria, who is normally allergic to cats. “He is incredibly intuitive and seems to know when one of us needs comforting,” Maria says.

WINSTON King Charles Cavalier Poodle You’ll know when the 7-month-old Cavapoo comes racing down the corner, partially because of the small bell he wears on his collar that jingles as he walks but mainly because of his bunny-like hop in his run. When energetic Winston isn’t playing fetch with his family, he’s trying to snuggle next to them. He loves sleeping on his back, dreaming of being petted — because as his mom Arlene says, “He loves to get his tummy rubbed.”

GEORGE Giant Flemish Rabbit George is not your typical bunny. Instead of living in a cage, the 20-pound giant Flemish rabbit has free reign of the house just like his three dog siblings. George became a part of the Santora family two years ago, and over that time, he has developed quite a sassy but adorable personality. He loves sitting with his humans on the couch while watching movies and nibbling on his favorite snacks, grapes and kale. “He’s the sweetest boy and brings joy to all who meet him,” owner Lucy says.

MISSY Haflinger Missy, a 10-year old Haflinger, joined the Bruton family three years ago. Over that time, she has proven to be a calm, gentle horse with a curious yet patient spirit. That makes her a great fit for her owner Doreen’s nonprofit: Amy’s Wish With Wings, an equineassisted therapy program that operates out of Southlake. During the summer, Missy also takes part in the Horse Adventure Camp, a seasonal camp that provides unique educational opportunities to its participants while also giving their parents a well-deserved break. “Missy is great with children,” Doreen says.

APARTMENTS SPIN MEETING JANUARY 28 The Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods held a meeting on Jan. 28 discussing a proposed development that would build 350 apartments on approximately 13 acres in Southlake Town Square. According to a town hall agenda, the apartment units would be built on 7.3 acres south of the police and fire headquarters building, and various improvements would be built on 5.7 acres adjacent to McPherson Park. Now the application will be brought to the planning and zoning commission at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 6. The development will then be brought before Southlake City Council for two readings, the first to be held at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 and the second to be held at 5:30 p.m. on March 3. Residents will have the opportunity to voice their perspectives on the project at these meetings.

SOUTHLAKE DPS PARTICIPATES IN THE HONOR WALL FOR FALLEN LUBBOCK FIRE LIEUTENANT, POLICE OFFICER Southlake DPS came together on Jan. 13 to show their support for fallen civil servants. SDPS participated in the honor wall for Lubbock fire lieutenant Eric Hall and officer Nick Reyna, both of whom were killed while on-site at a car accident. While they were assisting, a car from oncoming traffic crossed the median, striking and killing both of them, according to the Southlake DPS Facebook page. Southlake Deputy Fire Chief Kurt Hall says he wants the public to take away from this event “that there is a cost to every life that is lost in the line of duty.” He continues to say the day symbolizes “the profound impact that it has on their family, the people who served with them and on the community as a whole.” DRAGON FOOTBALL RACKS UP TXHSFB DISTRICT 5-6A AWARDS Southlake Carroll received several prestigious recognitions last month when the TXHSFB 2019 All-District 5-6A Team was announced. First Team All-District featured 15 Dragons including kicker Joe McFadden, center Addison Penn, offensive tackle Andrej Karic, guard Brandon Borrasso, tight end/full back Blake Smith, wide receiver John Manero, wide receiver Wills Meyer, wide receiver Brady Boyd, defensive tackle Dillon Springer, defensive end Thomas Wrehe, inside linebacker Preston Forney, outside linebacker Beck Parra, safety RJ Mickens, corner James Miscoll and corner Dylan Thomas. Second Team All-District featured nine Dragons including offensive tackle Robbie Rochester, guard Michael Magar, guard Grant Price, wide receiver Kasen Loveless, wide receiver Landon Sampson, defensive tackle Will Buss, defensive end Colin Stanyer, inside linebacker Quinn Wikinson and safety Brandon Howell. But those weren’t the only Dragons recognized with quarterback Quinn Ewers receiving MVP for the district, linebacker Graham Faloona receiving defensive player of the year, running back Owen Allen receiving newcomer of the year and Southlake Carroll receiving staff of the year.

A Page Out Of George Dawson’s Book George Dawson Middle School Connects Campus To Author’s Family Through Birthday Celebration Whether you’ve stepped on the middle school’s campus or read his book, the name George Dawson resonates with many in Southlake. After learning to read and write at age 98, co-writing his own book and having a CISD campus named after him before he died in 2001, it’s easy to find opportunities to celebrate his legacy. George Dawson Middle School principal Ryan Wilson says the campus still aims to honor the man and his love of reading through his birthday celebration every year. George Dawson’s Birthday Starting on January 19, 2003, Ryan says the school comes together every year to celebrate George's passion for literacy. The first year involved a giant sheet cake kids could enjoy, but that has evolved over the past 17 years. “There have been some Januarys where Mr. Dawson’s bust has simply been decorated with a party hat and some helium balloons,” Ryan chuckles. Other times, the campus was able to involve people directly from George’s life — like the book’s co-author Richard Glaubman. “Kids were able to ask questions about Mr. Dawson,” Ryan explains. “Things like, ‘Did he really go

fishing every single day? Did he really start every morning eating the same breakfast?’ Things that 12, 13, 14-year-olds were curious about.” George Dawson’s Book This year, the campus has incorporated public readings of George’s “Life Is So Good” at the library. During that time, Ryan witnesses his students become more invested in George’s story. “It’s really cool to watch kids get a glimpse at what Mr. Dawson’s life was like,” he says. “Many of the topics in the book are racially sensitive. It’s extra special for those kids in the middle of the day to actually read that alongside Mr. Dawson’s family.” George’s granddaughter Mashelle helped organize this new tradition alongside Ryan. She says she loves seeing kids reading about her grandfather, especially since he couldn’t read himself for most of his life. George Dawson’s Legacy Ryan wanted to connect the campus with George Dawson and his family while also providing an educational opportunity to learn about the obstacles the man overcame. As the campus continues to celebrate George Dawson, Ryan hopes his story continues to inspire others to keep learning and reading like he did. “I want the community of Dawson Middle School to not know the building by its name but by its namesake,” Ryan says. “Once they are at George Dawson Middle School, they will know who George Dawson is.”

DR. SUE WILLIAMS

FIVE MINUTES with ...

A DOCTOR AND A CHOCOLATIER, DR. SUE DOES IT ALL

hen she’s not at the hospital, Dr. Sue Williams is running her chocolate shop in downtown Grapevine. Working both as a board-certified internal medicine physician and a chocolatier is hard work, but Dr. Sue has been doing it successfully for the last nine years. Her chocolate — dark and only made with natural ingredients — comes in a variety of types and flavors, and she is the mastermind behind it all. She may not have been at the shop when you visited, but now you can get to know Dr. Sue.

I’VE BEEN DOING THIS... for almost 10 years. It started as just a little hobby. My daughter had gone to college, and I wanted something to do — sort of an empty nester project. I always loved to cook and entertain, so I went to Chicago and took classes to become a chocolatier. I loved it. AS I WOULD MAKE IT MORE IN PRACTICE... I would give it away at the hospital where I worked, and they called me Dr. Sue, so they called it Dr. Sue’s Chocolate. Eventually, it just sort of fell into place and was turning into a little business, so I decided I wouldn’t pay myself... I’d donate to charities and be committed to [paying my employees] a living wage and really put the money back into the community. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY… four years ago to move right here on Main Street, and that has just been an absolute blessing. There’s so much foot traffic, and we’ve met so many wonderful people from literally all over the world. It really is my happy place, and I love it that a lot of people get happy when they come in too. I LOVE WHAT I DO... and it’s very meaningful. I spend a lot of time delivering bad news and having important conversations. They’re very meaningful, but they can also be very emotionally heavy and exhausting. So [it’s nice having an] opportunity to go to a place where everybody’s happy. I mean, in a chocolate shop, everyone is there because they want to be there. THE HARDEST PART OF MAKING CHOCOLATE... is the actual technique. It’s one thing to learn the theory on paper, but the actual technique of working with it over and over and over again until you do it — that is the hardest part.

I WANTED TO PROVE THAT YOU COULD... find something you feel good about eating. Obviously, you can do that very much with savory things, but I started with the intent that I will produce products that were dark chocolate, that were all natural, that wouldn’t have any added sugars, sweeteners, preservatives, that they would all be non-GMO and have no high-fructose corn syrup. I CREATE MOST OF THE RECIPES... pretty quickly. Sometimes they’ll just come to me, and I keep lists of ideas. I could be in a restaurant and taste something and think that it would be fun to try that with chocolate. I could be drinking a cup of coffee and think that might be good with chocolate. Inspiration can come from every facet of life. ONCE IN A WHILE WE GET LUCKY... and we get [a recipe right] on the first try. But that’s very rare. Over the years, I would say, most of the time it’s gonna take us at least five or 10 tries, and there are some things that I know I’ve gone through at least 20 variations before I ever got it right. I DON’T EVER REALLY GET TIRED OF IT… because it’s a beautiful, beautiful medium. If you just watch melted chocolate flow, it’s mesmerizing. It’s so beautiful. And it has this silkiness, this richness to it that is mesmerizing. I love the creations. I love seeing the reactions on people’s faces when they get it, when they come in and buy something or taste it. I don’t think I ever get tired of it. I just try really hard to not eat too much of it. I REALLY APPRECIATE... this whole community, not just Grapevine. The people have just embraced us. And I’m so grateful for their support because it allows us to just do even more and give back — sometimes in small ways, sometimes in bigger ways — to the community. It’s like a real sharing of love.

HOW SOUTHLAKE REMEMBERS BOB JONES BY L I Z Z Y S PA N G L E R

efore Highway 114 had traffic, before Southlake Town Square was a shopping destination and before Carroll ISD became a successful 6A school system, this city was just land. Native Americans lived and hunted in the area, known as the Eastern Cross Timbers for its thick forests of blackjack and post oak trees. But after colonization took place around the 1840s and 1850s, many started planting roots around modern-day Southlake, including John Dolford “Bob” Jones. The man who was born a slave would eventually accumulate approximately 2,000 acres of land around the modern-day Tarrant County-Denton County line. His inspiring story has become a Southlake legacy thanks to those who take the time to honor the man and reflect on his life.

64 • FEB 20

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

” His legacy is a love of the land, education, God and his family — Anita Robeson

A STORIED LIFE

Born in 1850, Bob Jones’ father was Leazer Alvis Jones. His mother, Elizabeth, was Leazer’s slave, according to the Southlake Historical Society. After moving to modern-day Trophy Club and Westlake in 1860, Bob Jones started working on his father’s property. After herding sheep alongside his brother Jim for years, the two eventually purchased 60 acres of land from their father. Bob eventually bought Jim out and began accumulating what is a little over 3 square miles of land. William Jones, Bob Jones’ grandson, says that while growing up, he was told stories of his grandfather, who died three years before William was born. Despite listening to these recounts again and again from his dad, grandmother, uncles and aunts as a child, William says he didn’t really appreciate the legacy of his grandfather until he was an adult. “It was just stories about our grandfather, which we enjoyed, but we didn’t even come close to understanding the things he had accomplished, what he did as far as developing land, raising his cattle, raising racehorses — all the various things that he was doing,” William says. “We just didn’t have a clue.” Bob eventually married Almeady Jones, and they had 10 children. As each child was born, they expanded their house. The at-first humble home became a two-story building with four or five bedrooms, a main room, a dining room, a kitchen, a balcony and porches all around, according to the Southlake Historical Society. The family also built Mount Carmel Baptist Church in 1902, which burned down in the ’60s. Highlighting his reverence for education, Bob Jones also built Walnut Grove Elementary School around 1920. The school was for his grandchildren and other children in the area who couldn’t attend white schools due to racial segregation. Though it closed in 1951 because the students were ready to go to high school, Carroll ISD’s Walnut Grove Elementary School is named in honor of the original school Bob Jones built.

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

FEB 20 • 65

“They really stressed education,” says Anita Robeson, a historian and archivist with the Southlake Historical Society. “And they made sure all their children attended school.” Bob Jones died in 1936 and around 500 people attended his funeral, according to a newspaper article about the event, proving that Bob Jones’ impact was recognized during as well as after his life. "His legacy is a love of the land, education, God and his family,” Anita says.

LEGACY IN LAND Southlake honors the iconic man through the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve, a combination of park property and land owned by the Army Corp of Engineers that opened in 2008 after some of the original property was donated to the city. Stretching more than 750 acres, the preserve includes land Bob Jones owned during his time in Southlake and a former private home, which is now the nature center building. “This was actually a residential home out here that they were looking to sell to the city,” Kate Meacham, Southlake’s deputy director of community services, says. “Obviously being nestled

66 • FEB 20

away — being on the Bob Jones property, next to the Corp and the lake and all of that — the city saw a good opportunity to purchase and make that wider preserve.” But the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve is more than idle land. There’s no shortage of activities happening on the property. The preserve is open daily, so guests can hike, take photos of animals or plants and enjoy nature whenever they like. The nature center puts on programs for guests to enjoy that promote education. While guests cannot camp on the property, there are programs that teach camping tips. Another program, forest preschool, works to instill kids with a love of the land through education — two enduring facets of Bob Jones’ legacy. “It’s this idea that kids can go outside and learn through nature, from nature, at their own speed,” Programs Coordinator Hannah Nyquist says. “So we do the alphabet and we count, but we’re outside exploring the majority of the time.” This year, the center will focus on outreach and adult programming to educate people about the preserve as a whole to make sure they understand its resources while also spreading

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

awareness about Bob Jones himself. “That’s part of the awareness thing is making people aware of the preserve but also reiterating Bob Jones’ legacy,” Kate says.

KEEPING HIS MEMORY ALIVE Guests can walk into the nature center and learn about Bob Jones’ life by reading its walls, detailing his achievements. This year, the center is also commissioning a public art piece about Bob Jones to have on display for its patrons. The Southlake Historical Society is also honoring Bob Jones by hosting a summer exhibit in Southlake Town Hall. Last year, the exhibit featured the first Carroll ISD school, and this year, Bob and Almeady Jones will be remembered. “Bob Jones’ history is inspirational, interesting and ties into today,” Anita says. “Our goal is to let people know about the history, and we do have a very interesting history in Southlake." With the rise of companies like 23andMe and Ancestry.com, the drive to learn about one’s history has never been stronger. “I think we’re all excited to discover our roots and understand what our ancestors actually went through,” William says. “And then we become absolutely amazed at what they could accomplish in the period of time they were living.” William’s grandfather led a monumental life, and he learned about it thanks to stories passed down by his family. Now, William continues that legacy by telling his kids, nieces and nephews about his grandfather’s triumphs. “I think now, for the newer generation, they’re much more aware of what those accomplishments were than we were when we were kids growing up,” he says. “We try to make sure that they’re aware of who, even their grandfathers, not only their great-grandfather, is — what my dad and my uncles achieved as well as what my grandfather achieved.” Even though 84 years has passed since his death, Bob Jones’ spirit is still palpable in Southlake, thanks to his accomplishments and his dedication to making his community better. “I’m very pleased to see that the area where we grew up has now embraced some of the accomplishments of Bob and Almeady Jones and are paying some attention to that and recording it,” William says. “Because I think it’s important that history includes everyone that lived in that area, not just a few.”

My Heart Is Fleurs Nothing Says Commitment Better Than Year-Round Flowers

O DETAILS Venus ET Fleur’s Heart Box Approx. 36 roses Price: $549

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

n Valentine’s Day, the only thing better than flowers are flowers that last an entire year. So skip the grocery store bouquet section, and go all out for your beau with the Heart Box from Venus ET Fleurs. These flowers are not your typical storebought stems. Treated through a dehydration process, these roses come from Ecuador, and after their original color is removed with a nontoxic bleach, they are dyed a variety of vibrant colors such as pink, red and blue. This makes them much easier to care for than traditional florals. You don’t need to water them! The roses just need to remain in the hat box they came in. You can lightly clean them if they get a little dusty, and, to ensure they last, they should stay in a room-temperature environment.

For those who may have a significant other with particular tastes, the Heart Box allows for customization. With box options including red and blush suede and seven different rose options including white, red and rose gold, this gift is sure to impress with more than aesthetics. It acts as a symbol of your love and attention to her preferences. You can also send a sweet love note up to five lines for your poetic musings. Whether you write an inside joke, honor your love with a sappy note or make her smile by reminiscing about old dates or funny moments, no one will appreciate your kind words more than your sweetheart. There is nothing wrong with store-bought flowers, but for a gift that really shows your love and lasts, make the investment with the gift of Venus ET Fleur’s Heart Box.

The Art Of The Slice The First Texas 400 Gradi Brings Its Impeccable Details To Dallas

400 Gradi 2000 Ross Ave., Suite 140 Dallas 972.850.9053 400Gradi.com

74 • FEB 20

n award-winning eatery from down under has made its way to Texas. A Neapolitan concept out of Melbourne, 400 Gradi opened its first U.S. location in downtown Dallas last September. Founder and chef Johnny Di Francesco was excited to not only bring his concept to America but also join the bustling restaurant industry in the Metroplex. “Dallas is a growing food city. When my business partners — who also live in Dallas — toured me around, I fell in love with North Texas,” Francesco says. “It reminded me of Melbourne, and I felt it was only natural to open 400 Gradi in the heart of Dallas.”

His Dallas partner, Igor Stevovic, also sees similarities between the areas, which helps 400 Gradi feel like an easy addition to downtown’s offerings. “Both are bustling metropolitan cities with a great vibe and exponential growth,” Igor says. “The community in both cities are exceptionally welcoming.” As diners walk through the sleek Italian restaurant, past the wine bottle display and gleaming bartop, they will start to sense the level of polish ahead. Because 400 Gradi stands out thanks to its attention to detail. Yes, the plating is precise, and there are nuances in each dish’s flavor profile. But 400 Gradi goes beyond the

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

LOCALFLAVOR review

obvious to think about considerations that others might not conceptualize, like the water’s pH. All of 400 Gradi’s pizza and pasta doughs are made with what 400 Gradi calls Artisan H20 — filtered water that replicates the same qualities as what’s found in Naples. After the dough is prepared, it undergoes 48 hours of fermentation in a temperature-controlled room with 70% humidity. These details transform the recipe into an authentic replica of the Italian dish that was perfected after years of preparation. And the world has taken notice — 400 Gradi received the Best Pizzeria in Oceania honor at the 50 Top Pizza Awards in Naples for two years in a row (2018 and 2019). “Besides the fact that our pizza is made with love, it’s a traditional Neapolitan-style pizza that was handed down from generation to generation,” Igor says. Diners can’t go wrong with the traditional Margherita Verace — named the World’s Best Pizza in 2014 at the Pizza World Championship in Parma, Italy. But it’s far from the only star on the pizza menu. The Ortolana, topped with eggplant, onions, capsicum and zucchini, proves to be a hearty vegetarian pie. And the Diavola, complete with hot salami and arugula, offers a little more heft with its cured topping. But 400 Gradi is more than a pizzeria. It’s a sophisticated classic Italian concept that serves phenomenal pies. But that’s no excuse to sleep on its other dishes. Start out on a bright note with the burrata, accompanied by chargrilled bread that smells as good as it tastes. Or, for an appetizer that can feed the masses, order the Salumi Board: a selection of cured meats and cheeses served with gnocco fritto and giardiniera. The pastas, held to the same level of excellence as the pizzas, are made fresh every day. The Linguine Alla Pescatora, topped with prawns, mussels, clams and scallops and served in a napoli sauce, acts as a representation of what the dinner menu offers: classic dishes uplifted by precision. And the Tortelli E Zucca combines unexpected flavors — pumpkin-filled pasta served with butter, sage, pine nuts and amaretti — for those interested in trying something new. The Risotto Agli Asparagi — Aquarello rice, mascarpone, zucchini puree and asparagus — offers creaminess. And its subtle balance of salty and sweet flavors makes for a refined bite. To continue your Italian spread, try the pork short ribs, done the Italian way, served with a balsamic glaze. The coconut panna cotta, served in dark chocolate shells with bounty gelato and a lime gel, provides a sophisticated ending to the meal. And the dessert calzone, folded pizza crust with Nutella served with Zero Gradi vanilla gelato, pairs different restaurant creations together for a wellrounded treat. A trip over to 400 Gradi offers genuine gourmet Italian flavors. So skip the plane trip, and head over to downtown Dallas for a taste of something fresh yet familiar.

Top Of The Brine

Buttermilk-Brined Chicken Lands In Roanoke The guys behind Craft & Vine, Tim and Matt Nystrom, are back with a new fast casual concept, Soul Bird Chkn Shack and Wing Bar. With a comfort food menu and quality ingredients, Soul Bird provides a plethora of foodie favorites all under one roof. “There’s no concept like this on Oak Street,” Matt says. “We thought a chicken place would do really well here.” But this is no ordinary chicken sandwich shop. Soul Bird offers gourmet sandwiches crafted with 24-hour buttermilk-brined chicken breast, grilled chicken or fried cauliflower. “We were looking to create the best chicken sandwich out there,” Matt says. After picking a protein, guests can choose how they want to enjoy it. The Seoul Chicken sandwich, tossed in gochujang sauce and served with fire-and-ice pickled vegetables on a toasted brioche bun, offers a kick. While the Oak St., a sandwich featuring applewood smoked bacon, sun-dried tomato goat cheese, crisp greens, tomato and house pepper jelly, provides a nice balance. For a green alternative, go for one of the salads topped with breaded chicken, grilled chicken, cauliflower steak or chicken livers. The Bleu Buffalo — crisp greens, tomatoes, sweet onions, bleu cheese crumbles, bacon and choice of dressing with a house garlic buffalo saucetossed protein — offers bright flavors with every forkful. Soul Bird also has gourmet crispy tenders and wings elevated with its house-made sauces, like mango jerk, chili piccata and chipotle honey barbecue. While that’s plenty to choose from, guests should make room for Soul Bird’s shared sides. The Soul Fries are fully loaded, topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, green onion, buttermilk dressing and two crispy chicken tenders tossed in your choice of sauce. For more fried offerings, order the Mixed Nuts and Bolts — an assortment of fried pickles, mushrooms, buffalo cauliflower, jalapeño buttermilk dressing and soul sauce. Soul Bird also offers Keto, Paleo, vegetarian and gluten-free options. And with rotating specials offering new flavor combinations, everyone can find something fresh to enjoy during their visit. Now the only choice is whether to wash everything down with a ice-cold beer or a glass of sweet tea.

date NIGHT

Grapevine’s Main Street

daddy- daughter date night If it has been awhile since you and your daughter had some quality bonding time, then look at this story as your wakeup call! There is nothing better than making memories with your kids — especially when they’re old enough to be fun but not too old to spend time with you. And with the Southlake Sweetheart Dance happening this month, now’s your chance to spend a whole day exploring exciting new places with your little ones. There are so many kid-friendly spots on Main Street in downtown Grapevine, so close your eyes, pick a place and start your darling daddy-daughter outing.

Start the night off right at Tolbert’s Restaurant and Chili Parlor. This cozy eatery provides live entertainment, a warm atmosphere and delicious offerings! You can start the meal with queso or cheese fries and then dive into dinner by ordering any one of its 19 chilis, ranging from the original Bowl of Red recipe to chile verde made with pork and green chile sauce. Kids will love the grilled cheese, made with bacon and tomato slices. Or go all in and try one of Tolbert’s hearty burgers. But with soup, sandwiches, fajitas and fried fish, one thing is for sure — you won’t go hungry. And this dinner comes with a show. Tolbert’s often hosts live tribute acts performing everything from classic rock and country crossovers to jazz and R&B. So whether you focus on sipping up some chili or want to tap along to the music, this dinner locale is anything but boring. TolbertsRestaurant.com

A three-minute walk down Main Street will lead you to the area’s newest soda pop and candy shop: Rocket Fizz! The shop offers over 500 brands of soda including its own craft root beer and gourmet chocolate soda made with real cocoa.

The Scenes Of Spring Break Start Planning Your Vacation To One Of These Exciting Hotspots

chool and work may feel like they just started back up, but spring break is right around the corner. While many families have already made their traveling and lodging plans for a much-needed vacation, some last-minute planners are still trying to decide where they want to go. If you’re one of those people and need some spontaneous ideas, here are a few hotspot destinations to consider.

Maui, Hawaii You can never go wrong with the brisk oceans, sandy beaches and floral leis of Hawaii. While eight main islands make up the Paradise of the Pacific,

82 • FEB 20

Maui is packed with some of the most fun extracurricular activities that you and your family can enjoy over spring break. You can dive into the Seven Sacred Pools, swim and surf the waters of Kaanapali Beach, snorkel by the crescent-shaped Molokini islet and hike soaring heights toward the dormant Haleakala volcano. You can even watch the breathtaking humpback whales swim in their natural habitat on Maalaea Harbor. When you’re done, treat yourself to some delicious local Hawaiian cuisine, such as Sam Soto’s saimin noodles, Tin Roof’s poke bowls or Queen Ka'ahumanu’s manapua buns. Enjoyment is endless over in Hawaii — just be sure to remember your flip flops and aloha shirts. GoHawaii.com

Colorado Springs, CO Whether you prefer the quiet lakes or the mountainous regions, Colorado Springs has plenty of outdoor fun. The Arkansas River, for instance, has a variety of canoeing and kayaking opportunities. If you’re looking for higher elevation, Pike’s Peak features some gorgeous sights from the cliffs. For something more fast-paced, Adventures Out West has several zip lines to ride through trees and mountain ridges. If even that’s not high enough, reserve a hot air balloon tour with the same company and enjoy the scenery from thousands of feet in the air. No matter where you go, adventure is waiting for you. VisitCOS.com

Fort Lauderdale, FL There’s much more than sand and seagulls in Fort Lauderdale. While most spring breakers will rush to swim in the ocean and play on the beaches, there are plenty of ways to spend your vacation away from crowded shores. If you’re looking to venture into the Everglades, there are airboat tours that will take you up close to see the alligators and hippos that live in the marshes. If rafts and reptiles aren’t your thing, unique landmarks include the Antique Car Museum that displays automobiles dating back to 1909 and the Museum of Discovery and Science that’s home to several interactive exhibits and a children’s discovery center. Sunny.org

London, England If you want to flip on a dime from a coastal riverbank to a lively urban environment, London is the place to get both of your fun-filled fixes in. While perhaps London’s best known sights are the Victorian-Gothic-style Tower Bridge and the clock tower commonly referred to as Big Ben, there are several more tourist attractions to check out to mark a memorable spring break. For instance, the 443-foot Coca-Cola London Eye observation wheel overlooks the entire city, and you can take part in its 30-minute ride for $35. River Thames provides further aquatic amusement as you can swim, sail and row across the 215-mile-long river. You can reserve a bus tour and check out London’s most significant sightings, including Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Most people might not think to spend their week off traveling across the pond — that’s why it’s the perfect spring break stop to make.

he’s a pink guitar, muddy boots and rhinestone-covered everything. She’s bubbly white wine and a straight shot of whiskey.

Help welcome this Texan back home when she comes to American Airlines Center to perform hits from “Wildcard,” her seventh No. 1 album.

But when she tries to commit him to a psychiatric hospital, Harvey intervenes, helping Veta realize she loves her brother just the way he is (and the huge rabbit isn’t so bad either).

You Know the Code...

y refrigerator currently contains another woman’s food — my acrossthe-street neighbor to be exact. It’s a so-called inconvenience I wouldn’t trade for the world. Long ago in a different house with a different refrigerator, my husband and I celebrated our daughter’s first birthday with our extended families. Weeks later, I loaded my seven-month pregnant belly on an airplane and relocated my family of three (soon to be four) to Southern California — Victorville, to be exact, for anyone who may be confusing this with a desirable location. The high desert with 100-degree days featured rocks, so many of them. And it was thousands of miles from both our families. Fast forward 17 years and four moves later, after dwelling near beaches, mountains, swamps and corn fields. I sherpa’d babies cross-country on both pre- and post-9/11 flights. Before our first move, I remember my grandmother saying, “Family is the four of you, no matter where you live.” Her words rang true during each relocation. Mostly. After arriving in Southlake, I found myself needing more than my foursome could provide. I craved an extended community, like my friends and family four states ago. But just wishing things were different wasn’t changing anything (Did it ever?), so putting wishes aside, I let go and dug in. I asked for phone numbers, said yes to invitations and waved at every car, runner and dog-walker who

passed. And in time — so much time — the desire to know and be known started to feel attainable, baby step by baby step. Like most things of value, my current community wasn’t created overnight. New relationships are sometimes awkward and fragile, threatening to fizzle before taking root. Making history is slow and delicate and uncertain, and it takes layers upon layers before a foundation is set. Especially if you are 35. And your neighbor across the street is 72. Or if you have three kids. And your neighbor has none. Or if you are from Dallas. And your neighbor is from Delhi. Or if you wear a cross. And your neighbor wears a hijab. Different, we all know, can be good. It can even be the best. But man, different can be hard. And yet, I placed my hope in the just-because plate of brownies, the Post-it notes with my phone number and the driveway wave hello. Every connection counts. And they all add up. Today, my neighbors stand in the gap for those I love who live far away. They ground me to my righthere home. They serve as surrogates for my overthere family. And they add richness to everything in between. Looking past differences to find connections is still sometimes hard. But hard is where the good stuff is. So back to that refrigerator ... my neighbor needed a place to store some extra food. I love that she asked, and I am grateful that I had the space. Bring it, sister. You know the code to get in. My fridge is open to my neighbors. Just like me.

LAUREN GREEN HAS LIVED IN WYNDSOR CREEK SINCE 2007. AFTER HER TWO CHILDREN, EMERY AND COLLIN, FLEW THE COOP TO COLLEGE, SHE AND HER HUSBAND, FRANK, STILL TRY TO STAY CONNECTED TO THEIR NEIGHBORS BY TAKING NIGHTLY WALKS WITH THEIR YELLOW LAB, MACY, AND TACKLING ENDLESS CHORES IN THE YARD.

home STYLE Looks That Last

azor-thin eyebrows, chunky highlights and popcorn shirts are fashion trends that have come and gone. While you may cringe at pictures of yourself rocking those dated looks, you shouldn’t do the same with photos of your interior. Home decor trends like wood paneling, plaid sofas and tile countertops have come and gone, but there are a few design updates that promise to never go out of style.

STATEMENT RUGS A good rug can make a room with its sophisticated, polished vibe. And depending on its size and pattern, it can also hide the never-ending stream of pet hair lurking around your house and accidental food spills. Area rugs can add a pop of color while warming up your chic space. There are almost limitless options for rugs, which is why it’s so easy to customize this trend to match your home’s style.

WOODEN BEAMS Raw wooden beams were on the rise last year, but they promise to add dimension to your home. These ceiling accents are a great way to add some detail to your space while also creating a cozy environment. For a more low-key project, wooden beam shelves can transform a small nook or blank wall into a personalized space. But just like rugs, options are limitless. From shape and design to width and color, exposed beams are sure to take a room from boring to beautiful.

STONE FIREPLACES Not only are fireplaces warm and cozy home decor staples but also they are timeless. If you’re looking to renovate your old fireplace or add one to your living room, consider going with a stone design. A white stone option provides a clean slate while darker colors instantly add depth and comfort to a room. Plus, this is a durable trend, so the project is sure to last you for years to come.
