Molly McCook, Ellerbe Fine Foods
This talented chef’s cooking is even more impressive than it was when she opened her Fort Worth restaurant in 2009. Inspired by the best ingredients in season, McCook cooks with assurance and grace, turning out dishes that are loose-limbed, freewheeling and utterly delicious; she changes her menu constantly. Lately I’ve been wowed by her crumbled buffalo meatballs in a soffrito-flecked brodo, paired with luscious mascarpone-filled ravioli, like something you’d eat in an Umbrian farmhouse. And I loved her tarragon-perfumed salad that layered lots of sweet, blue gulf crabmeat with bibb lettuce, fried capers and applewood smoked bacon. And a thick, rich, tender pork short rib that was pick-it-up-and-gnaw-the-bone good, served on buttery pepper-jack grits. (Full review)
One of the most appealing restaurants to embrace the burgeoning locavore movement, Fort Worth's Ellerbe Fine Foods has a smallish menu that changes not just every season, but every week. (Full review)
Taste the creamy corn soup she made with roasted poblano and sonora chiles, or her double-cut lamb chops, dusted lightly with curry powder, set atop Israeli couscous, and complemented by creamy, cool tzatziki, and you have to conclude that Molly McCook was born with the right name. (Full review)
