Southlake has a reputation as a premier shopping destination, and rightfully so. All that shopping (or waiting while your family shops) can make you downright hungry. That’s why it’s good to know Southlake Town Square alone is home to 25 eateries, offering everything you could want during a day out. You most likely already have your go-to spots, but when was the last time you ate something for the first time? Sure, there’s nothing like your favorite comfort foods, but we’re daring you to think more about what’s outside the square and try something new. This month, we share a tastes-good story about the humble beginnings of Trey Sánchez and Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. After decades in the restaurant industry, who would have thought he would hit it big serving tacos from a gas station? Read how he grew his business in “Born To Barbecue”— but read fast as the lines are getting longer at his evergrowing barbecue empire. Finding a restaurant from our list of “50 Things To Eat In Southlake” may be easier than finding Trey’s original outpost, but the real work was in narrowing down one delectable item from each spot. Our proverbial trail of breadcrumbs starts inside but finishes online, so it’s always there for you to dig into when you’re craving something special.

t’s time to grab the remote and roll out the red carpet, because the Primetime Emmy Awards are airing on CBS later this month. Whether you’ve added these shows to your watchlist or binged them at least five times, brush up on these nominees before they take over L.A. Live on September 19. The “Star Wars” space western “The Mandalorian” and Netflix’s “The Crown” are both tied for the most nominations with 24 each. Marvel’s superhero-inspired sitcom “WandaVision” follows behind with 23 nominations while “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is on the left with five nominations. “Loki” fans will recognize Jonathan Majors in “Lovecraft Country,” but that isn’t the only small-town horror show under consideration with Kate Winslet’s investigative murder-mystery “Mare of Easttown” in play. Kaley Cuoco has her own mystery to solve in “The Flight Attendant” that thankfully doesn’t involve Sheldon, and the fourth season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” offers another kind of dystopia that viewers won’t be able to turn away from. Comedians Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig and Dan Levy all earned big laughs and nominations alongside the rest of the “Saturday Night Live” cast. So did Bo Burnham and Dave Chappelle, though don’t expect their specials “Inside” and “8:46” to exactly lift your moods. Thankfully, everyone’s favorite dysfunctional coach “Ted Lasso” never fails to put a smile on fans’ faces. Let’s just hope Jason Sudeikis dresses up a little more for the occasion than he did at the Golden Globes.

Coop Du Jour
What It Takes To Raise Your Own Chickens In The Suburbs Along with bread making, embroidering and gardening, locals’ interest in raising their own chickens grew during the pandemic last year. Whether it’s been a longtime dream or a recently realized aspiration here are some things to consider before owning and taking care of your own chickens.
PLANNING FOR POULTRY
Unless you have land that is already recognized as agricultural property, the first thing you’ll want to do is check in with your homeowners’ association and the city’s ordinances to verify what you’re legally allowed to do on your land. Sometimes cities and local entities limit aspects of chicken raising, like how many chickens you can have, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. After that, the second thing you’ll need to do is build a coop. Protection for the chickens should be top of mind when building a coop. “The coop needs to be fortified so predators can’t dig under,” Southlake resident Kenlyn Jones says. “We protect them from things like hawks and bobcats.” Kenlyn owns land near Lake Grapevine and has raised chickens for almost 10 years. “We decided to start raising chickens for two reasons — I have a large family, and my children love all things animals,” Kenlyn says. “I also loved the idea of organic eggs.”
18 • SEP 21
EGGS GALORE
One of the biggest reasons people raise chickens is for their eggs. “[Fresh eggs] taste a lot better [and] they have really bright yellow yolks,” resident Paula Keller says. Paula, who has a farm in Southlake, currently has nine chickens in her coop. “My red and black chickens lay big eggs and our little Polish hens are laying white eggs. They’re a little bit smaller,” Paula says. Chickens will lay eggs from the spring into the fall, according to the Farmers’ Almanac, ensuring you will never run out. “We are currently down to about 30 [chickens],” Kenlyn says. “Most of them are older at this point, so we get about a dozen eggs a day.”
HEN LOWS AND HIGHS
Along with protecting hens from predators, caring for chickens also involves dealing with their manure. “I think the worst part about having chickens is having to clean the chicken coop,” Kenlyn says. “They are so dirty and will poop anywhere and everywhere that they choose.” Despite the hardships that come with raising chickens, both Paula and Kenlyn say they adore their hens. “They love to run and play in the yard,” Paula says. “When they see us, they’re just like pets. They run to you, they’re so excited to see you.” Kenlyn loves her chickens so much that she started adhering to a vegetarian diet. “They all have so many personalities and are such funny little things. They are much like having dogs and cats,” Kenlyn says. “They follow you around, they get into everything and they jump on your lap for a cuddle.”

SOMMELIER
KIRBY’S STEAKHOUSE’S SOMMELIER HAS BEEN DECANTING FOR A DECADE
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A SOMMELIER? I was beginning to develop a passion for wine and really wanted to dive in and push myself to learn, and sharing that passion tableside fueled it even more. WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LIKE TO BECOME A SOMMELIER? Once I realized that I wanted to become a sommelier, my first step was the intro test. After that, the majority of the learning is left up to the individual. There is no way that I could have done it on my own, though. I needed to put myself in a position where I was studying with groups of people at all different levels. WHO HELPED YOU BECOME A SOMMELIER? I found The Dallas Sommelier Society. They really introduced me to the systematic approach of blind tasting, mock service examinations and theory groups. Working with them and other small groups helped me pass my level 2 [test] in 2011. A couple of years later, I attended and passed the Wine and Spirit Education Trust advanced course and exam. WHAT DOES YOUR JOB ENTAIL? [I am in charge of] building and maintaining wine lists, meeting and tasting with vendors, staying on top of wine trends and prices, monthly inventory, hosting monthly

educational wine classes for our team, as well as educating guests and helping them select the perfect wine for their palate. WHAT ARE SOME MISCONCEPTIONS YOU THINK PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT SOMMELIERS? The biggest misconception to me would be that most sommeliers can be unapproachable and arrogant. However, that has not been my experience. There are many different certifications to choose from when becoming a sommelier; the Court of Master Sommelier was the route that I chose, and I did so primarily because they preached a humility that they take to the table and to the guests. WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A SOMMELIER? I love how wine can bring people together. My passion for wine has grown over the years, and it has been a genuine pleasure for me to spark that interest and passion in others daily. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF WINE? I enjoy lighter, more acidic-style reds with food, like Pinot Noir, but if I am simply drinking wine for wine's sake, I really appreciate bigger fuller-body wines. Clio is a Spanish blend that has been a favorite of mine for years and remains one to this day.

BORN TO BARBECUE TREY SÁNCHEZ IS MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF WITH VAQUEROS TEXAS BAR-B-Q BY LIZZY SPANGLER PHOTOS BY EMILEE PRADO
24 • SEP 21
SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE
N
estled behind Hop & Sting Brewery in Grapevine sits a white food truck, surrounded by picnic tables and emblazoned with a skeleton cowboy. This is Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. The brainchild of Arnulfo “Trey” Sánchez III, the food truck began as a pop-up shop at an Exxon gas station near his house in 2018. In the four years since then, Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q has been featured in “Texas Monthly,” on the Cooking Channel’s “Man, Fire, Food” and has attracted fans from all over the state and the country. Though Trey never imagined he’d ever be back in the restaurant industry, Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q weathered the pandemic, business is booming and growth is on the horizon.
THE PITMASTER’S BEGINNINGS Born in Dallas and raised all around the Metroplex, Trey got his barbecue start working at restaurants around DFW. “I did Dickey’s [Barbecue Pit] for a while,” Trey says. “I worked at a little place called Smokestack in Richardson. I was about to take another job, and that’s when my dad called me and said, ‘Hey, don’t take that job. We’re opening a restaurant.’ So I did that from ‘89 to ‘99.” His dad’s business was a full-production catering company, which meant they were in charge of completely setting up an event with props and decor. They even occasionally served as the entertainment as well. “A lot of times, we would be doing Old West gunfights and stuff prior to service, and then we’d serve in full gunfighter attire,” Trey says. “It was good. I enjoyed it.” But after nearly 10 years in the business, Trey decided it was time to get out. “I decided that’s not what I wanted to do,” Trey says. “I started teaching in ‘99 and taught for 14, 15 years.” Trey taught art at Pope Elementary and Spanish at McKinney Boyd High School while simultaneously coaching cross-country and soccer. He stopped teaching in 2016 at Hale Elementary in Arlington when he took on his next big job — taking care of his kids. “It was one of the toughest jobs I’ve ever had,” Trey says about being a stay-at-home dad. “One of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had too — the most rewarding.” Meanwhile, Trey’s wife started her own business, leaving a corporate job in the process. “I’m staying up late at night not able to sleep, thinking of all these new bills, these loans and the lack of the corporate income that was there,” Trey says. “[I was] just stressed out.” At the same time, a gas station owner down the road recommended that Trey bring his barbecue pit, gifted to him by his father-in-law, to the station. “I figured I’d just do it on the weekends and supplement,” Trey says. “So that first day… we sold out in an hour and a half. So I doubled the food the next week and sold out in another hour and a half.” After two years as a stay-at-home dad and despite leaving the restaurant industry nearly 20 years earlier, Trey was back in the barbecue business just like that.

oldest child, Tyler, who was a teenager at the time. “He would run the register and help me set it up,” Trey says. “That was it. It was just the two of us.” Serving up both classic Texas barbecue and tacos, Trey cooks what he likes. “That’s kind of how it started back in ‘89 with my dad’s spot. We like tacos, and we like barbecue,” Trey says. “It’s just pairing two things I grew up with and I like, and that’s just kind of how we’re doing it.” Pete Mata, who lives in Southlake and is a Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q regular, first met Trey during his Exxon pop-up shop days. “I’ve tasted barbecue all over the state,” Pete says. “His barbecue is so good compared to other places.” Trey worked his Exxon pop-up through almost the end of 2018. After he learned the gas station was going to be sold, Trey began taking Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q to various breweries around town like Hop & Sting Brewing Co. and Four Corners Brewing Co. Working like that for over a year, those pop-ups, coupled with catering orders, helped grow Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q like never before.
HITTING A STRIDE After hopping around different breweries, Trey decided to permanently set up shop at Hop & Sting about a year ago. “I would go around to a few different breweries, but Hop & Sting was always kind of the preferred spot,” Trey says. “You know, it’s home too. And the guys here are great. So we just kind of rolled with that.” COVID-19 hit shortly after their partnership was solidified, so Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q shifted to delivery and pickup orders. Trey also collaborated with Hop & Sting for things like pre-ticketed sales and beer and barbecue to go. “[We] had to switch to a single vendor to fulfill COVID restriction requirements,” Hop & Sting’s general manager Andy Yelton says. “Picking Trey was a no-brainer. He was the only food truck that actually had his own following because his barbecue is so incredible.” As difficult as the year was, 2020 had some bright moments for Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. Not only was it featured in “Texas Monthly,” but it also got highlighted on the Cooking Channel’s “Man, Fire, Food.” Part of that exposure can be attributed to a dish that was somewhat of an accident: the barbecue birria tacos. Birria, a dish that originated in Jalisco, Mexico, is typically stewed lamb or goat meat seasoned with chili peppers. “I came back from Jalisco wanting to do birria, but I never really had time on the weekends since I was always doing something, to play around with lamb or goat to do a traditional birria,” Trey says. “I was doing a pop-up one day, kind of the end of service… so I’m just making up some tacos for the crew.” Making birria tacos out of brisket, a customer saw what Trey was doing and wanted to buy them. Several customers followed suit, so the next week, Trey decided to just roll the tacos out. And they were a hit. Just around three weeks after introducing them, Trey received a call from the Cooking

Channel, interested in featuring the birria tacos. “So we filmed ‘Man, Fire, Food’ here and then the Cooking Channel released them on another show called ‘Man’s Greatest Food’ as a top 14 cheesy bite in the United States,” Trey says. “And then ‘Texas Monthly’ also put them on a Top 20 Bite of 2020 list. They just kind of caught fire.” After that exposure, Trey upgraded his trailer to a food truck, and customers began coming from all over to try Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. Trey recalls one couple that had planned on going on a cruise for their anniversary, but had to forgo the trip because of the pandemic. “The next thing they wanted to do was fly out here to have my food,” Trey says. “They flew out from Atlanta for their 20th anniversary. It’s crazy.” Trey says people come to Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q from all over, whether it’s out-of-state destinations like Los Angeles or closer cities like Waxahachie and Decatur. “It seems like every weekend people are coming — whether it’s [from] East Texas, Arkansas or up to three hours away — because they’ve heard about us or saw us,” Trey says. Ironically, despite his success and exposure, Trey says a lot of his neighbors still don’t know about his business. “There’ll be something on the Nextdoor app, ‘Hey, where’s the best barbecue in Grapevine?’ and we’re not getting anything,” Trey says. “But all these other people are coming. I don’t know, it’s just kind of funny.”
THE FUTURE OF VAQUEROS TEXAS BAR-B-Q With just about a year of having the food truck under his belt, Trey is already thinking about what Vaqueros 28 • SEP 21
Texas Bar-B-Q will look like in the future, possibly inside a brick-and-mortar location. “That’s kind of where things are leaning towards,” Trey says. “We were talking about that pre-COVID, so it’s kind of coming back around. We’ll see. It may be around the corner.” Pete, who watched Trey grow from a two-man show at a gas station to owning his own food truck, loves the success Trey has had — even if it means a longer wait time. “It’s great because he definitely deserves the success,” Pete says. “And I don’t mind waiting in line for it.” Andy says it’s been fun to watch Vaqueros Texas Bar-BQ’s growth and success at Hop & Sting. “[Trey has] easily doubled or tripled in volume since he first started,” Andy says. “It’s been interesting to watch the transformation as he’s adapted to the challenges of growing so rapidly.” From being open one day a week to now being open every Thursday to Sunday, the interactions he has with other pitmasters and his customers are why Trey loves barbecue. “When I got into it, I was shy and didn’t want to talk to anybody,” Trey says. “Because of barbecue, I’ve met some of my best friends in life and so many good people because of it.” Trey says unlike in the past, barbecue is now more of a close-knit community to him. “Now everybody knows everybody and everybody is cool with everybody,” Trey says. “Everyone helps everyone. That’s the fun part of it.” SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

President Chris York says Baylor Scott & White - Grapevine is focused on serving as the premier, convenient health care destination between Dallas and Fort Worth. “The need we’re trying to fulfill is high-acuity, complex conditions,” Chris says. “From a health care standpoint, we want our community to receive the highest quality and most compassionate care close to home.” One of the initiatives it is leading to meet those needs is expanding the current hospital. According to Chris, the hospital is being renovated to expand capacity by 70 beds, with the overall renovation taking place over the next three years. “Our daily census has increased substantially over the last few years,” Chris says. “From a growth standpoint, we continue to set records in terms of patients we’re seeing. We had 1,055 ambulance visits to our hospital in July, which is an all-time record. A couple weeks ago, we cared for 172 patients in our ER in one day, which is also an all-time record in a single day.” But expanding the space isn’t all that Baylor Scott & White - Grapevine is focused on — the hospital is also
aiming to increase its technological capabilities. Its new biplane diagnostics imaging machine uses a minimally invasive technique to restore blood flow to the brain in stroke patients, while the Xi surgical robot helps simplify medical procedures for experienced surgeons. Plus, with new specialists in vascular surgery and hand trauma, Baylor Scott & White - Grapevine is equipped to treat more patients than ever before. “Our focus is to make sure patients receive world-class care when they come here,” Chris says. No matter how much the population changes in the future, Baylor Scott & White - Grapevine is committed to changing with them. That’s what it means to care for a community.
“We remain focused on caring for and loving our patients in a safe and healing environment.” — Chris York, President

Merit Financial Advisors Helps You Through Your Biggest Life Transitions
W
hen it comes to financial management, it’s important to have trusted advisors that can help you through some of life’s biggest transitions. That’s why you don’t need just any advisors — you need Merit Financial Advisors. Merit Financial Advisors has been helping people navigate their lives for over 30 years. No matter whether clients are changing careers, going into retirement, getting a divorce or have experienced the loss of a loved one, wealth manager and partner Tony Pitzer says Merit Financial Advisors can help. “What makes us different is that we work with our clients through their emotional transition and help them toward their financial goals,” Tony says. “Our core thing is helping clients transition from one phase of their life to the next.” Using a practice called “mind mapping,” advisors start by sitting down with their clients and learning what their priorities are. “We use the mind map to know what’s important to the client, including their interests, people, family, friends, goals and what they want to achieve,” Tony says. “We want our clients to make smart money decisions and move forward with confidence and a new sense of purpose.” They then help organize their clients’ assets so it creates a reliable financial structure for them. “We help from a planning aspect in terms of cash flow and implement a plan that incorporates clients’ income, savings and taxes,” Tony says. “Our cash flow planning helps our clients visualize their accounts and understand where their money is coming from.” Merit Financial Advisors understands that when life happens, it can sometimes derail the original plans you had for you and your family. But no matter what you’re going through, Merit can help with

HAILEY HERNANDEZ FINISHES NINTH AT 2020 SUMMER OLYMPICS After making it through the preliminary and semifinal rounds at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Hailey Hernandez finished in the top 10 for the women’s 3-meter springboard. During the preliminary round, Hailey outshined most of her competitors with a score of 309.55, finishing sixth out of 27 divers. Then in the semifinal round, Hailey once again placed in the top 10 with a score of 291.6. It was during the finals where she scored consecutive 58s on each dive until the final one, where she scored a 54. That brought her total score to 288.45, placing ninth out of the 12 finalists. While she didn’t win a medal, Hailey was the youngest diver to compete at the Summer Olympics at 18 years old and consistently finished in the top 10 for all three rounds of the diving competition. A welcome home celebration was held for Hailey on August 13 at Feedstore BBQ & More. CARROLL FOOTBALL NAMES 2021 CAPTAINS With the football season underway, Southlake Carroll has named its captains for 2021. Juniors Kaden Anderson and Owen Allen and seniors Benecio Porras, Travis Keener, Josh Spaeth and Landon Samson were all named team captains for the upcoming season. Anderson, Allen and Samson are all on offense, while Keener, Porras and Spaeth play defense. Anderson takes the field this fall as the Dragons' new quarterback. Allen rushed for 2,063 yards and 28 touchdowns last season, while Samson caught 75 passes for 1,293 yards and 15 touchdowns. On the defensive side through the game against Duncanville, Porras recorded 101 tackles while Keener made 31 tackles and two sacks. Spaeth, meanwhile, made two interceptions and a defensive touchdown. They made their debut this season at AT&T Stadium on August 26, which was also televised on ESPNU. CORBYN CORMACK NAMED TEXAS SWIMMING ATHLETE OF THE YEAR “USA Today” has announced that Southlake Carroll swimmer Corbyn Cormack is the new Texas Girls Swimming & Diving Athlete of the Year. Every year, “USA Today” hosts the High School Sports Awards and recognizes 60,000 athletes in 24,000 schools across the nation. On July 15, “USA Today” announced the Texas award winners across 12 sports — and Corbyn Cormack was declared the winner in the swimming and diving category. Olympian Hailey Hernandez was also nominated as a swimming and diving finalist. “Corbyn Cormack capped off her illustrious career with a pair of gold medals in the Class 6A state swim meet. She defended her title in the 200 individual medley while also grabbing the gold in the 100 butterfly,” a “USA Today” spokesperson says. “Both wins set pool records.” Corbyn was formally recognized as the swimming athlete of the year during “USA Today’s” award ceremony on August 5.

CARROLL STUDENT COMPETES AT 2021 ROLLER SPORTS FIGURE SKATING NATIONALS Carroll Senior High School junior Haley Chokshi competed in the 2021 Roller Sports Figure Skating Nationals earlier this summer. Competing in both the technical and performance categories at the competition in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Haley finished seventh overall in the finals for women loops 13 and up. Haley says she couldn’t have made it this far without the help of her amazing coaches Robyn Young, Mike Dando, Reanon Sandlin and Steven Crow. “Making it to the finals felt really good, especially since I had been working so hard,” Haley says. “It was a reminder that all my hard work pays off and it helps drive me to do better next year.” DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER TRAVELS TO AFRICA While school started in mid-August for Carroll ISD, Josh Ault just finished teaching his new students in Africa the week before CISD classes began. A history teacher at Dawson Middle School, Josh was one of five U.S. teachers selected by the Witness Tree Institute of Ghana to travel to Africa and learn about its culture and impact on the world. Josh spent two weeks experiencing dance, art and history lectures at the University of Ghana, went to the Cocoa Research Institute in New Tafo and visited the home and burial site of W.E.B. Dubois, according to a media release. He even got to meet a Ghanaian king. But one of the most special experiences to Josh was teaching a 45-minute lesson to seventh graders at a demonstration school. “I got the students to write letters to my students at Dawson Middle School,” Josh says. “I plan for my social studies students in Southlake to become pen pals. Our world is too small not to stay connected. It will be a great opportunity for us to grow and learn from each other.”

DRAGONS RECEIVE ALL-AMERICA SWIMMING HONORS The Carroll Swim and Dive program saw 13 of its athletes become All-Americans over the summer. After the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association published its 2020-2021 All-America Swimming lists on July 15, the Carroll Swim and Dive team took home 19 honors from the school year. In the boys’ category, swimmers Andrew Zettle, Mason Edmund, Max Hatcher and Jackson Pogue won eight All-America listings total for the Dragons, including placing 15th in the 400-yard freestyle relay. On the girls’ side, Hailey Heldenbrand, Bailey Kaiser, Kate Heintz, Corbyn Cormack, Morgan Chocholek, Ryley Heck and Alexis Drap won six listings overall, including placing 29th in the 200-yard medley relay. The Southlake Carroll Water Polo team also saw Jackie Walters win second team and Whitney Wood win an honorable mention. The Carroll High School Swim and Dive teams both ranked fifth nationally among public schools as well. CARROLL DRAGONS WIN SPURS NATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The AYG Lakers youth basketball team won the Spurs National Basketball Tournament over the summer, and five talented Dragon basketball players helped get them there. From June 25 to 26, the AYG Lakers traveled to San Antonio to compete in the Spurs National Basketball Tournament, which saw over 500 teams compete at the AT&T Center, according to a media release. Five of its players are Carroll elementary students, and they helped catapult the team to being named third grade national champions. The Dragon players included Walnut Grove Elementary students Grayson Porter and Carson Berrios, and Johnson Elementary students Palmer McCoart, Colton Holtmeier and Owen Armstrong. “We are so proud of the boys for playing their hardest and never giving up,” parent Jamie Armstrong says. “You could see these young boys were playing with all their hearts. They pulled together and got it done.” CARROLL ISD NAMES NEW DAWSON MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Dawson Middle School found its new principal just in time for the fall. After former principal Ryan Wilson accepted the head principal position at Carroll Senior High School, Dawson Middle School needed a new principal to step in and lead it into the new school year. But on August 2, Carroll ISD gave it a new leader in assistant principal Stephen Langford. Serving Carroll ISD for the past 15 years, Stephen previously worked as a social studies teacher and coach before he became assistant principal in 2016. Stephen says he's honored and excited to serve Dawson as its new principal. "Serving as an educator is more than just a job — it’s my passion," Stephen says in MySouthlakeNews. com. "Serving all children is at the core of helping our Dragons learn and grow. I am looking forward to this coming school year as we pursue the tradition of excellence together.”

CARROLL DRAGONS WIN NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP In late July, yet another group of amazing Dragons recently became national champions through the Elite Clubs National League. Established in 2009, the Elite Clubs National League is made up of 113 teams in nine conferences across 35 states. The Solar Soccer Club is one of those teams, and four Carroll Dragons helped them pull off an undefeated season with a final record of 21-0-1. Carroll freshmen Hannah Jordan, Zoe Matthews, Parker Wilkerson and eighth grader Grace Alvarez helped the Solar Soccer Team advance to the playoffs in Tampa, Florida earlier this summer, according to an email. They won their pool 3-0 with a combined score of 16-1, then won their quarterfinal match 7-0. After qualifying for the final four in Richmond, Virginia, the Solar Soccer Team won in both the semifinals and finals with a combined score of 7-2, making them national champions and bringing home the gold medal. “We had to run the gauntlet in the playoffs, beating the No. 2, 3 and 6 teams in the country,” Hannah’s father Dudley says. “We are very proud of their victory and unprecedented accomplishments.” CARROLL DRAGONS WIN U.S. YOUTH SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Three Carroll Dragons took home the top prize from the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships over the summer. Carroll students Abby Mills, Kennedy and Kamdyn Fuller traveled to Lakewood Ranch, Florida in July to play for the Solar Soccer Club in the U15 Girls National Championship, according to a media release. After starting off with a tie against Cincinnati United, the team pulled off two wins over the Broomfield Soccer Club and the Real New Jersey Football Club before advancing to the semifinals. After narrowly defeating Club Ohio 2-1, the Solar Soccer Club went head to head against the La Roca Football Club and won 4-2 in the finals.

TRAINING CHAMPIONS ATA Martial Arts Wins Six Championship Titles At World Expo
F
or over 20 years, ATA Martial Arts has been training champions young and old on Southlake Boulevard. The many accomplishments of its martial artists can be measured on its Wall of Champions, which added five new champions last month. While the studio has been established in Southlake since 2001, Senior Master Wes Boyer and his wife Jessica purchased the school in 2011 and have been molding young martial artists ever since. With Senior Master Boyer growing up in North Richland Hills and Jessica graduating from Carroll ISD in 2004, Senior Master Boyer says they purchased the studio in the hopes of improving the community around them. “I started martial arts as a family activity with my parents over 30 years ago,” Senior Master Boyer says. “Little did I know the impact it would have on my life and that it would inspire a lifetime devoted to changing lives.” Since reopening under new ownerOwners Wes and ship, the couple has expanded to a larger Jessica Boyer 5,000-square-foot facility, a 3,200-squarefoot mat and opened a second location in Northlake earlier this year.

aking your own pasta from scratch can feel intimidating for first-time chefs. From mixing, kneading and flattening the dough to shaping and cutting the noodles into even pieces, the whole process can be stressful and time-consuming. Inexperienced Italianos will enjoy the Phillips Smart Pasta Maker, which simplifies pasta-making so you can produce the same delicious result with ease.Exclusive to Williams Sonoma, the Philips Smart Pasta Maker is a state-of-the-art, fully automated machine that can produce high-quality homemade pasta in less than 10 minutes. Start by adding however much flour you want into the depository. You don’t have to worry about measuring because the machine automatically weighs the flour for you and calculates
how many eggs you need to add for a pliable texture. Feel free to throw any fresh veggies into the mix to add a healthy spin to your carbs. After the machine mixes and kneads the dough, attach one of the extrusion discs so the machine can begin applying pressure. Its weights can push 1,600 pounds of force through the spout, ensuring a perfectly shaped noodle that is ready to cook. Eight different pasta varieties can be formed through its extrusion discs, including spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, angel hair, lasagna, dumpling, tagliatelle and pappardelle pasta. No matter which Italian cuisine you’re in the mood for, the Philips Smart Pasta Maker can help you do it all with just the touch of a button.

home STYLE Classic Kitchen Cabinets
N
o matter how big or extravagant your kitchen area is, an eclectic collection of cabinets is essential for any cooking environment. Whether you’re storing a variety of seasonal spices or putting away the dishes, here are some things to consider when installing cabinets into your kitchen.
APPETIZING APPEARANCES You don’t want kitchen cabinets that stand out more than your countertops and the rest of your dining area, so go for softer colors that nicely complement your kitchen decor. White and ivory work well with any color combination, while silver blends nicely with a sleeker, more modern look. And if you’re looking for a cozier aesthetic, timeless colors such as almond, beige and cream help lift the mood of the room and give it that hint of southern comfort that makes any kitchen feel warm and welcoming. SIZE MATTERS When it comes to kitchen cabinets, size is everything. That’s why you want substantial cabinets that have enough free space to store any dish or product you may need. Traditional 24 by 36-inch cabinets already come in most homes, but you can trade them out for larger 48-inch cabinets at any given time. You can also include smaller-sized cabinets if you want to utilize that extra space between your refrigerator, oven or microwave. And if you really want to show off, you can invest in open-faced shelves that can display your fine china or favorite wine bottles in front of guests while they wait for dinner. EXTENDING SHELF LIFE If you’re having a hard time finding extra space for all of your pots and pans, incorporating extra shelves or rack extensions can make more effective use of your available cabinet space. Additional shelves offer another level or two to put away your bowls and cups, while chrome rack extensions offer a convenient, easy way to store extra dishes and appliances with the pull of a handle. With simple installation and long-lasting durability, these add-ons can quite literally help extend your kitchen cabinet’s shelf life.

Former Dallas Cowboy Joins Liberty Christian School As Its Football Coach
L
iberty Christian School may be known for its Warriors, but this fall a cowboy is joining the campus as its head football coach. Playing in the National Football League for 17 years, Jason Witten is a former tight end has played for both the Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders. While nobody can predict what lies in store for the first-ballot hall of famer, coach Witten is ready to lead the Warriors into a new season.
I’VE ALWAYS HAD… a deep love for the game and for team building. I want these kids to have fun, but I also want them to learn, grow, develop and win ball games. I’VE BEEN AROUND… a lot of coaches and teams in my life. I don’t believe that just because someone is good at football, it makes them a good teacher or coach. There is no one blueprint that fits all, otherwise every team would be well-coached. MY FAMILY… made me want to coach high school. My wife Michelle and I toured a lot of different schools when we made the decision to make the Southlake area our home. When we found Liberty Christian School, we knew this was the place we wanted to entrust with our four kids. The education, the environment, the God-given faith — we have loved the experience from day one, and now it is just such a big part of our lives in every way. WHEN I MADE THE DECISION TO FINALLY RETIRE… I knew I did not want to move my family away. Sometimes things just happen for a reason, and soon after I retired from playing, this job opened up. It just made sense for me at this moment in my life. I knew I wanted to get into coaching, and Liberty Christian is a place that I believe in. AS A COACH… I believe that you are either teaching them or allowing anything to happen, just like a parent. You hear all about how players these days are different and you can’t coach them as hard. The reality is that the fundamentals and the core values it takes to build a team, to come together with a shared commitment to be the best you can be, is the same today as it was when my granddad was coaching high school 30 years ago. I CHOSE TO COACH HIGH SCHOOL… because I think you can make a difference in young kids’ lives. I get the chance to share my knowledge and beliefs
64 • SEP 21
with all these kids and hopefully make a positive impact on their life that will stay with them long after they leave our program. I BELIEVE IN… setting a standard and then holding everyone to that standard. There will be setbacks and obstacles to overcome, but that is how life is. My goal here is to prepare these kids so that they will be best prepared to overcome and achieve the impossible for our team. I WANT TO… see this team get better every week, win or lose. My expectation is that we will see a team that competes hard and prepares well for every game. We will not be a team that beats ourselves. We may not win them all, but when a team lines up against Liberty Christian, they will have to earn it. WE BELIEVE IN… positive reinforcement. It’s just a game, but there are so many core values of life you can develop within this game. I heard one coach say, ‘I know how well I coached them in 20 years, because in 20 years they will be husbands, fathers and leaders in their community.’ I believe in this phrase 1,000%. Coaching is way bigger than the 48 minutes you spend on a Friday night. I am humbled by the opportunity to have a positive impact on their life. WE ARE EXCITED… to see the boys come together and play as a team. They are very coachable, and they love playing the game together. I am excited for them to have success, and I look forward to supporting them throughout the season. MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE… this has been about creating a culture and standard here for these guys. This is how we train. This is how we attend meetings. This is the Liberty Christian way.

ith a name that means “the way” in Italian, il Modo celebrates everything Italian with its modern interpretations of classic dishes and traditional cooking techniques. “We want il Modo to be a restaurant and gathering place for locals and hotel guests that serves up great Italian, family-style meals that embrace sharing,” says Nick Wymore, il Modo’s director of food and beverage.

LOCALFLAVOR review
For wine lovers, il Modo has an extensive wine list that includes both flat and sparkling wines. Like the sparkling Bisol Brut Prosecco DOC or the red San Polo Brunello di Montalcino, many of the wines it offers hail from Italy. After a few libations, diners can awaken their taste buds by indulging in several delectable appetizers. Meatballs made with dry-aged beef, spicy pomodoro, basil and Parmesan make for the perfect shareable, while adventurous guests can try the crispy calamari, which comes with Peppadew peppers, spicy pomodoro sauce and preserved lemon aioli. “When building out the menu, we focused on local, seasonal ingredients to put our own modern spin on classic Italian dishes,” Nick says. With all its pasta handmade, it would be a mistake not to order some of this Italian staple. Those with hefty appetites can get the spaghetti, which comes with ricotta, Sungold tomatoes, basil and Parmesan, while the orecchiette serves up all the flavors with cacio e pepe, DOP pecorino and toasted peppercorns. For pasta with a seafood spin, delight in the risotto, which is made with Acquerello rice, rock shrimp, mascarpone and crispy shallots while the bucatini comes prepared with the traditional Italian ingredients amatriciana and guanciale, along with basil and Parmesan. But il Modo proves that Italian food is not just pasta. Its roasted half-Amish chicken is prepared with potato leek puree, roasted garlic and preserved lemon jus while the Ora King salmon features heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers and garlic fry bread. The seafood selections also extend to il Modo’s raw bar menu. Along with steak tartare — served with Calabrian chili, capers, egg yolk, house pickles and grilled sourdough — guests can order poached shrimp or a half-pound king crab, both of which come with dijonaise, cocktail sauce and horseradish. For families who dine at il Modo, the branzino comes whole and stuffed with herbs, spinach, Calabrian chilis and lemon, while the ribeye is 22 ounces and features roasted garlic and bone marrow butter. Diners will continue to feel satiated during dessert, with il Modo’s tiramisu delivering a delicious bite with mascarpone zabaione, espresso-soaked ladyfingers and Madagascar vanilla bean whipped cream. Meanwhile the chocolate pie, made with mousse, Oreo crust and toasted hazelnuts, is sure to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth. Whatever you indulge in, il Modo ensures guests taste the flavors of Italy in every meal. “At il Modo, the dinner table represents family,” Nick says. “I want guests to feel that no matter what type of occasion, whether it’s a date night, a family or business celebration, or you’re just walking by, you always feel welcome and taken care of.”

Upscale And Chic
Jane Boasts A Hotel Lobby Bar Feel With Plenty Of Delicious Offerings After Jane officially opened last month, Southlake residents now have a new chic restaurant to indulge in. With around 2,000 square feet of indoor space and another 1,000 square feet in two covered patios, Jane is a sleek, sophisticated concept that is sure to please. “I want it to feel like walking into an upscale and chic hotel lobby bar — you should feel invited and welcomed, just as a guest would,” owner Mo Noorali says. “Whether to check emails and have a latte, sip a glass of wine and share bites with friends or get cozy and have a cocktail before or after dinner with your date, the atmosphere has been created to be comfortable from the morning [through] the night.” Located in Park Village, Jane features a rotating menu based on the time of day. Guests can start their morning by its house blend coffee or cappuccino while enjoying a pastry. In the afternoons and evenings, diners can satisfy their hunger with sleek shareables like the wagyu beef sliders topped with truffle cream, or the sweet chili-rubbed pork belly. Seasonal ingredients are featured in its salads while rotating cheese and charcuterie offerings will ensure diners can try something new each time they visit. “The menu was curated to cover a variety of tastes and palates in a somewhat compact package fitting the concept,” Mo says. “It is designed as small plates and shareables with elevated touches.” Mo named the restaurant after the street he lived on in New York City. “Many cherished memories and life events took place while residing [on Jane Street], which included being the first home my wife and I shared together and hosted friends and family when visiting,” Mo says. With those memories in mind, Jane offers an elegant space for guests to dine, connect and relax. “The most exciting part about Jane has been watching it come to life,” Mo says. “Each finishing touch was thoughtfully selected, and we look forward to hosting everyone that comes in and creating an atmosphere that they can enjoy and make memories.”

After topping off your drinks, stroll down The Star Boulevard on your way to Cane Rosso. This Neapolitan pizzeria is dedicated to serving the most authentic wood-fired pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and chopped salads around. Start your meal off with one of its delicious snacks and shareables, whether it is the ground chuck and pork meatballs or the cast-iron spinach dip made with fontina cream. Afterwards, you can choose one of 21 pizza selections, all of which are 14 inches and cooked to perfection at 900 degrees in less than 90 seconds. Order The Star for a star-shaped pizza and calzone hybrid, filled with ricotta, mozzarella, pepperoni, tomatoes and arugula, while the classic Cane Rosso is topped with Luscher’s sausage, roasted peppers and onions for a traditional taste.

Harry Styles Nails The ‘Fine Line’ Between Pop Star And Fashion Icon
S
ugar-sprinkled watermelon slices, ‘70s-inspired fashions that boldly blur the line between masculinity and femininity, music that feeds your soul and those ever-mischievous sparkling green eyes — what else can Harry Styles make you obsessed with? Harry Styles’ affinity for feather boas and lyrics that won’t leave your head has cemented him as a global icon, even outside of One Direction. In 2021 alone, he won his first Grammy Award for “Watermelon Sugar,” as well as the Juno Award for International Album of the Year, Brit Award for British Single and iHeartRadio Music Award for Best Lyrics. He has a handful of other stunning accolades, including the Billboard Music Chart Achievement Award and an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Album, showing that he is indeed a superstar.

Coyote and Road Runner — will appear on a big screen, while the symphony plays original scores including “What’s Opera, Doc?,” “The Rabbit of Seville,” “Rhapsody Rabbit” and “Dynamite Dance.” There will also be three new 3D Looney Tunes shorts.

World-Class Wine
These Regions Are Known For Great Wine And Beautiful Vineyards
A
merica has its share of great wine-producing regions, but some of the best wines can be found outside of the United States. So if you frequent Fredericksburg or navigate trips to Napa, it’s time to broaden your horizons and your palate. Whether you love a crisp sauvignon blanc from New Zealand or prefer the classic wine produced in France, these regions are must-visits for wine lovers.
Bordeaux, France After visiting Napa or Sonoma Valley in California, it’s time to upgrade your wine travels and head to France
94 • SEP 21
— specifically Bordeaux. This region of France has 60 appellations — legally determined and protected wine regions — and more than 7,000 winemakers. With all those wine regions and makers, it’s no surprise that Bordeaux is also home to a 144,000-square-foot wine museum. Cité du Vin celebrates wine so much that its architecture aims to mimic the swirl of a wine glass. For visitors who want to spend their entire trip entranced by wine, stay at the Hotel Lalique, located in Sauternes, which is the same region that produces Sauternes wine. Wherever you decide to go, wine is the heart of Bordeaux. US.France.fr
SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE
BOARDINGPASS winning wines La Rioja, Spain
Around five hours away from Bordeaux, France, lies another first-class wine destination — La Rioja, Spain. With more than 500 wineries, this region has everything a wine lover could want. At the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture located in about 5 miles of vineyards, guests can learn about the history of wine, its production and the cultural significance of the liquor. For those who’d rather taste different varietals than learn about them, Vivanco and 80 other wineries open their doors to the public for tours and tastings. One of these wineries, Bodegas Muga, is familyowned and still makes its own barrels. And if you’re tired after a long day of travel, hotels like Hospederia De Los Parajes offer wine-based spa treatments like wine baths and facials. From the museum to the vineyards to the spas, wine is the star in La Rioja. Spain.info
Casablanca Valley, Chile
South America might not be on your list of wine destinations, but it should be. Known for its chardonnay and sauvignon blanc production, the Casablanca Valley has wineries that will keep you tasting for days. The Emiliana Vineyard is the largest organic winery in both Chile and the world, with its 140 blends sourced from authentic Carmenere and Syrah grapes. The Viñamar Vineyard, meanwhile, specializes in sparkling wines like moscatos, bruts and rosés. Those traveling with kids can even find a kid-friendly winery in El Cuadro. With guided carriage tours through the winery and a horse and rider presentation on its Rodeo field, El Cuadro ensures every guest enjoys themselves. No matter which one you decide to visit, the wineries in the Casablanca Valley all offer beautiful views, exquisite experiences and of course, delicious wine. Chile.Travel
Marlborough, New Zealand
New Zealand’s Marlborough region is home to 90% of its sauvignon blanc plantings, which is why it’s known as the sauvignon blanc capital. Along with sauvignon blanc, this region also produces pinot noir, chardonnay and riesling. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy a trip to Marlborough as part of the country’s Classic Wine Trail, which is more than 200 miles of cycle trails that showcases four different wine regions and more than 100 wineries. To make your trip to Marlborough even more memorable, plan to attend the Marlborough Food and Wine Festival, held annually in February.
