Fort Worth dining news — Thai opening, Italian in Grapevine, and a Texas-shaped pizza
Fort Worth's restaurant scene is shifting again, with new spots opening and a few longtime favorites closing their doors. Yindee Thai Eatery opens November 19 in the H Mart Plaza at 3950 NE Loop 820, Suite 100 in Haltom City, serving coastal Thai and street-food favorites like Sam's fried chicken with sticky rice, Tom Yum hot pot cooked at the table, spicy seafood spaghetti, whole Golden Garlic Snapper, and lobster with Pad Thai or Panang curry — the first 100 customers on opening day get giveaways. Over in Grapevine, Little Dutch just opened at 1285 S. Main St., an upscale Italian spot from longtime DFW restaurateur Noti Krasniqi with Bolognese and cacio e pepe, steaks, Wagyu skewers, branzino and veal Milanese, cooked on a Josper charcoal oven under a glass atrium patio. On the goodbye side, Sushi Soho in Bedford has closed, Old Chicago shut its last North Texas location in Alliance after 10 years, Outpost 36 BBQ in Keller is done, and Longoria's Barbecue in Everman closed after 31 years — the owner says he hopes to keep the family brisket sausage recipe alive somehow. Soma Winery on South Main is also done as a wine bar and is now a private event venue. Two more things worth knowing: McAlister's Deli just opened in Keller at 1241 Keller Pkwy., Paris Baguette opened a new bakery cafe in Euless at 2920 Rio Grande Blvd., and Baskin-Robbins celebrates its new Weatherford shop today, November 14, with $1.31 scoops from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a ribbon cutting at noon. And if you want something fun for the table, Mountain Mike's Pizza is serving a Texas-shaped pizza called the Lone Star Legend at all of its Texas locations, with a dollar from every heart-shaped pizza sold in November going to Homes for Wounded Warriors.
