a steel saucer. We recommend sharing this with at least one other person. There are six iterations of chicken-fried steak on the menu, and the Frontera Way, served with a chile relleno on top, has made this list two years in a row. 204 W. Exchange Ave. horseshoehillcafe.com Bomber Sub, Jo-Ed’s Bomber You’ve probably never heard of Jo-Ed’s. But this underrated little sub shop in Pantego (a small “town” in southwest Arlington) churns out delicious subs like The Bomber, with ham, turkey, pastrami, roast beef, Swiss and American cheese. Feeling hun-gry? Make it a Double Bomber. Feeling adventurous? Add the Bomber Meatball sauce. 1924 W. Pioneer Pkwy, Pantego Find Jo-Ed’s Bomber on Facebook Cheeseburger, Kincaid’s Hamburgers Not much can be said about the cheeseburger at Kincaid’s because it is so damn simple. And that’s what makes it so delicious. A half-pound Black Angus patty is topped with mus-tard, iceberg lettuce, vine-ripe tomatoes, pickles and yellow onions. The burgers from this Camp Bowie Restaurant, which opened in 1946, always taste the same. And, that’s a good thing. 4901 Camp Bowie Blvd., check website for other locations kincaidshamburgers.com Three Cheese Burger, Lili’s Bistro Cheese-lovers rejoice at this Lili’s staple. Swiss, cheddar and American cheese are served melted on a juicy patty and topped with lettuce and tomato. 1310 W. Magnolia Ave. lilisbistro.com Asian Pasta and Greens, Lili’s Bistro This dish took us by surprise when we ordered it from Lili’s earlier this year. It is, after all, an Asian-inspired dish at a spot that’s more commonly known for burgers and fries (as this list can confirm). But, Lili’s does claim that it serves global cuisine, and it nails this one — chilled soba noodles, cabbage slaw, and eda-mame are tossed with an Asian citrus vinaigrette. You can choose to top it with grilled chicken or salmon. If you order the salmon, it will come out perfectly cooked. 1310 W. Magnolia Ave. lilisbistro.com Wagyu Texas Beef Stir-Fry, Little Lilly Sushi Camp Bowie sushi spot Little Lilly Sushi might be selling itself short when it calls itself “your neighborhood sushi bar.” It can perfect everything that’s cooked and everything that’s uncooked. The wagyu Texas beef stir fry is a stand out — a large portion of sliced wagyu beef, asparagus, carrot, red bell pepper, and onion are sautéed with pepper soy and served with steamed rice. 6100 Camp Bowie Blvd. littlelillysushi.com SBLTA Grilled Salmon, Local Foods Kitchen Local Foods Kitchen turns the classic BLT on its side with grilled salmon, avocado and lemon aioli served on a grilled sourdough bun. Don’t let this cute eatery fool you; the portion size of this sand-wich is big enough for two meals. 4548 Hartwood Drive localfoodskitchen.com Rocky Mountain Elk Loin, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro One of the staples of Chef Tim Love’s menu, the Rocky Mountain Elk loin stands the test of time. Those not used to wild game meals might be initially surprised by the flavor of the elk, but the entire dish is cohesive, thanks to Hen-of-the-Woods mushrooms and candied grapes. 2406 N. Main St. lonesomedovebistro.com Roasted Garlic-Stuffed Beef Tenderloin, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro We win no points for originality with the inclusion of this dish, but good dishes cannot be ignored. It really just begs one question — why don’t more places stuff their steak with garlic? 2406 N. Main St. lonesomedovebistro.com Salmon de Coco, Meso Maya Meso Maya hit Fort Worth with not one (Tanglewood) but two (downtown’s Kress Building) locations this year, and residents have been quick to embrace the Dallas-based Mexican restau-rant — interior Mexican that is. You’ll fall for the coconut rice in the Salmon de Coco — a hefty dish with wood-grilled Scottish salmon, creamy coconut rice, Roasted Garlic-Stuffed Beef Tenderloin, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro SBLTA Grilled Salmon, Local Foods Kitchen 60 fwtx.com | FEBRUARY 2018
