in the world
Steer Steeped in History Although the Civil War devasted the U.S. economy, Texas avoided financial ruin thanks to a herd of longhorn roaming wild across the Texas plains. Worth only about $1 a head in Texas, a single longhorn could command a price of about $40 in the Northeast. Today, you can view an authentic longhorn drive in Fort Worth. 90 MINUTES IN: When you approach the Fort Worth Stockyards, you'll get the feel of old Texas—dusty roads, animal sounds and open expanses. But when you set foot inside Stockyards Station, you'll find that what's old is new again—fun retail and dining experiences have popped up amidst the Wild West shows and rodeos that take place weekly. The world's only twice-daily cattle drive takes place along Exchange
Fort Worth Stockyards Avenue at 11:30 am and 4 pm, but you'll enhance your experience if you visit the bulls at their pen before the herding; it's literally around the corner. You may have a personal interaction with these gentle, curious creatures. Be sure to keep your feet on the sidewalk during the drive; afterwards, grab some great barbecue at Riscky's or Billy Bob's. 817.625.9715, www.fortworthstockyards.org

My Dallas-Fort Worth
Jared Estes
[Executive Chef, Water Grill Dallas] Accomplished in both his current and former professions—a security specialist in the United States Air Force; executive chef for Nordstrom; and chef de cuisine at Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar, to name a few—Estes has plenty of great advice on everything from Dallas’ dining scene to date nights. —As told to Madison Sullivan
What are some of the things you learned during your time in the Air Force that you apply to your position? My time serving in the military taught me discipline, making strategic decisions and to always maintain a sense of humor—no matter the situation. All of these skills apply to my everyday life in the kitchen. Describe the Jan./Feb. Water Grill menu in five words. Fresh, Seasonal, Quality, Unique, Tasty. What ingredients do you look forward to working with in the winter months? We really look forward to the arrival of Spiny Lobsters, as
40 W H E R E D A L L A S F O R T W O R T H I J A N UA R Y / F E B R UA R Y 2019
it’s an amazing product out of Southern California waters. We also offer an abundance of fresh oysters—the Dallas restaurant receives an ever-increasing selection of oysters sourced from across the world and flown in fresh daily. What other items on Water Grill’s menu would you recommend for couples? I’d suggest “interactive” meals— hands-on and shareable are two key factors to upping the dining experience with one’s romantic partner. Lobster, scallops on the shell or even splitting a King Crab! Eating is supposed to be fun, right? What is your ideal date night? My wife and I like to keep things simple. Our ideal date night is packing a homecooked meal, grabbing a nice bottle of wine and venturing down by the lake to watch the sunset and enjoy a quiet dinner together.
What is a favorite memory from your time at Water Grill Dallas? It was an honor to serve President George W. Bush in our restaurant—it was a privilege for the entire staff! Water Grill Dallas’ second anniversary is January 11, to what do you contribute its success thus far? The main factor of our success is the positive dining experience each guest receives—whether it’s your first time eating at Water Grill or if you’re a regular customer. We pride ourselves on creating a relationship with all of our patrons. What item is in your kitchen that you can’t cook/live without? My family and friends—they are the whole reason I do everything that I do. Discover more at

Why did you become a chef? It is the perfect combination of art, science, nature and business. I knew the job would always be changing and evolving—it definitely has never disappointed.
