Fort Worth's own Iron Chef champ, Tim Love, dropped by the DMN this week for a photo session in our studio. With him was his son, Tannahill, aka "T," a kindergartener on spring break. Tim calls the fest "spectacular, a four-day bender. Everybody was there, from Paula Deen and her kids to Giada [De Laurentiis], Rachael Ray, Mario [Batali]." Emeril, Bobby, Rick, Tyler, Tony, Cat, Morimoto -- you name them, the Food Network personalities were there. "And of course Dean [Fearing] and Kent [Rathbun]," as well as the Mansion's John Tesar, the Mercury Grill's Chris Ward, and almost every other American chef you can name.
Tim got a couple of turns in the spotlight, too. His Dirty Love Burger won mention in the New York Times and emerged as a popular favorite at the Amstel Light Burger Bash. And, sponsored by the American Lamb Board, Tim also grilled lamb sirloin for some 2,000 industry insiders at Wine Spectator's "Trade Tasting" event. That night, he also cooked lamb on a spit at 212 Access House, a private, chefs-only party -- one enlivened by "lambassadors" whose T-shirts bore the slogan: "More Than a Nice Rack." Tim tells us he's working on a project for D/FW Airport, called Chef Tim Love Gourmet To Go, which will open this spring inside Z Market in Terminal B. "It's a great coup for us," he says. The 48-item, chef-driven menu will include portable dishes you can take on board your flight. And of course he's still midwifing the Victory Park outpost of Love Shack, his burger joint in the Fort Worth Stockyards, around the corner from Lonesome Dove. It'll open sometime this spring or summer, but he's not setting a due date yet for this new baby. As the chef-entrepreneur has found out, there's a whole lot more paperwork involved when you don't own the property already, and you have to build from the ground up -- which wasn't the case in Cowtown. |
