I've been to one in Dallas and it is VERY good. I normally don't eat at pizza places, but I was dragged to the Dallas design district location and it was outstanding and very unique pizza offerings that they bring to the table in slices. I look forward to the FW location and hope it does well.

Smackbird, a delivery-only ghost kitchen serving Nashville-style hot chicken, is open on Overton Ridge near Hulen Mall.

I guess Nashville Hot Chicken is the new trend... just like Bagel shops, then cupcake stores and then Taco joints.  Wonder how long this fad will last.

It would be nice to see trends like more fruiterias and farmers markets, maybe things that are slightly more healthy-leaning where you could get soups and salads, smoothies.  Not to come across "holier-than-thou" on this comment (trust me I have far from the perfect diet) but I'm trying to cut back on these chicken places and fried anything places this year, doing pretty good so far not really eating out but a handful of times on-the-go.  I've always been a fan of Zoe's Kitchen and Luna Grill type food, you can eat a full meal and feel pretty good about yourself and take a break from the waffles, fried chicken, biscuits or whatever colorectal fad-of-the-year that comes out of Tennessee.

The Twitter feed Fort Worth Development (does someone on the Forum run it?) reports that the former Pollo Tropical, next to Razzoo's on Bryant Irvin, will become Hawaiian Bros. Island Grill. https://hawaiianbros.com/menu/

https://mobile.twitt...443816272896000


Hawaiian Bros. is hiring for the Bryant Irvin location, so I guess they'll open soon. https://harri.com/HB017

Crossposted from the Comings and Goings thread:

 

Dave's Hot Chicken from Los Angeles is coming to two Fort Worth locations, according to information provided to Bud Kennedy.  First location will be in the old Schlotsky’s on Bryant Irvin (Cityview), same building as Outback. Construction has been working for about 2 months. Another is planned for across the street from Zoli’s Pizza on Hulen. This is from someone named Jeff Murray who knows one of the investors.

Fort Worth has gotta be pushing for most hot-chicken places per capita right?

 

1.5 mi from this location near zoli's another hot chicken joint called "Helen's" will replace the short lived John Smith sub shop at 2812 Horne St., on the corner at Camp Bowie Boulevard and Lccke Avenue.

and let's not forget The Cookshack on University less than 3mi away too.

I was going to mention "More Hot Chicken" when I heard the news but I thought that I would leave well enough alone.  LOL

This Star-Telegram column is about another Felipe Armenta restaurant in Alliance, but it mentions that the Tavern on Hulen will be reopening in early September.

Can't leave out Red Claws Hot Chicken and Smackbird, both within a half-mile of Hulen Mall.

The Cityview Fudruckers building is.... gone.  Torn down about a week ago.  Not sure if something else is going in there or they will just parking lot the area.

Okay.  You're a fan, aren't you? 

 

I'm surprised they tore the old building down, unless there were problems with it.

I was begging for a much closer Pluckers for years. Hell yeah, I'm a fan! I hate having to drive all the way to Alliance, Oklahoma just to get to one in our city... even though, ironically, I work up here, now, so it's much closer anyway. 

As far as the building, my only guess is that they just didn't view the building to fit their interior standard? Could have had some other issues, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Corrugated sheet metal panels and bare concrete floors? (just kidding)  The two Pluckers I've visited (Highlands Arlington and Grapevine) their restaurants tend to have high ceilings.  I think some of that could be for better ventilation, acoustics or just general feel of the space.  They also do some cool things with these glass overhead doors which is a nice touch this time of year.

By contrast, here's the interior of the Fuddruckers that was just demolished. Pictures from Foursquare

Admittedly, I'll miss that place, but I'll take Pluckers any day. 

The only "rough looking" Pluckers I've been to was the one in Arlington.

I would think a gut and remodel would be cheaper than new construction if the building was otherwise sound, but what do I know?

As for gutting and remodeling vs. demolition, sometimes it depends on the client's actual needs for that space.  I was not involved on the Plucker's decision, so I can't say for sure.  I also know that some of those buildings over there in that area had structural problems, so that might have been a factor.

Really?

Most of that area is still fairly new (although, I can remember that Razzoo's being there as far back as '95) so I wouldn't even think that would be an issue.

Joe's Crab Shack/Twin Peaks, which was built a little before Fuddrucker's, had many issues.  I believe the building was starting to sink into the pond.

Yes, that retention pond is hell. They had to reconstruct a large portion of the parking lot for Costco because it was sliding into the pond.  I wouldn't be surprised if that whole area is not very stable.  Looking at old aerials and topos on HistoricAerials.com, it looks like that whole area at least as far as the Fudruckers was filled to bring it to somewhat level with the area where the Home2 Suites is.  If you look at the west end of the Costco parking lot, the Fairfield Inn and Twin Peaks, they're all built on fill, and I think even the Fudruckers was.

That's funny, I saw this permit they filed for 118 N. Henderson a couple weeks ago.  Do you think this is just their food truck or are they also moving in there too?

Makes sense.  Floor & Decor is basically a warehouse store and people come in get their stuff and leave.  I would say if they rarely have more than 10 customers in the store, so that sea of Mervyn's parking around it is pretty much unnecessary.

I'm surprised more of those lots haven't been replaced, yet.
