Chef Point's 'Acquired Taste' Menu - A Walk on the Wild Side

Curious diners have the opportunity to take a walk on the wild side with oxtail, cow tongue, liver and onions and cow feet.

2010-09-16

FORT WORTH, TX, September 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) Oxtail, marinated in homemade spicy African seasoning, slowly cooked it until it falls off the bone. Where can you enjoy this delicious delicacy and other hard-to-find dishes? Only during a unique fine dining experience at Chef Point Cafe.

Franson Nwaeze, the head chef at Chef Point Cafe, has never been afraid to try something new. He is giving curious diners the opportunity to take a walk on the wild side with his new, one-of-a-kind "Acquired Taste" Menu.

The most popular dish on the special menu has been Liver and Onions. The dish of beef liver sauteed with mushrooms, onions and bacon in a brown sauce is served with homemade mashed potatoes.

"We were amazed when we ran out of Liver and Onions by 7:30 Thursday night," Paula Nwaeze said. "Most of the people in the restaurant came in wanting this dish. That night, we learned that Liver and Onions is a favorite southern dish that's almost impossible to find." Customers have been amazed and delighted to find a restaurant that serves this southern dish. Liver and onions definitely is an acquired taste.

Customer Ron Sturgeon said, "I love Liver and Onions, and Chef Point is the only Fort Worth restaurant I've been able to find it at. I'll be back as often as I can for more of Chef Franson's delectable Liver and Onions."

Chef Franson, recently voted as one of the top 10 chefs in Fort Worth, put together the innovative bill of fare that also includes Oxtail, Cow Tongue, Liver and Onions and Cow Feet. Customers are amazed when they try these unique dishes. The Cow Tongue is sauteed with onions and bell peppers in olive oil, topped with spicy brown sauce and served with roasted potatoes and fresh veggies. Chef Franson roasts Cow Feet in a spicy African red sauce and serves them with coconut rice. The meat is moist and tender. Not a dish you would expect to find at a restaurant inside a gas station.

"In some parts of the world, these items are considered delicacies," Chef Franson says. "They are very good, but people in Dallas Fort Worth aren't use to them. Once they try the Cow Feet or Cow Tongue, they will be hooked."

Of course, for those not willing to expand their taste buds' horizons, Chef Point Cafe always offers Chef Franson's signature dish: "Better than Sex" Fried Chicken. Among his other - more tame - dishes are Stuffed New York Strip, Chicken Scampi, Crab Cake Pasta and of course Cheddar Burgers. On Sundays the menu changes to southern comfort food and includes Chicken Fried Steak, Pot Roast, and Chicken and Waffles.

A proven tool for losing weight: Reading food labels

2010-09-15

PULLMAN, Wash.—Diet and exercise have long been the top two elements of effective weight loss. Now add a third: reading the labels on packaged foods. Washington State University Economist Bidisha Mandal has found that middle-aged Americans who want to lose weight and who take up the label-reading habit are more likely to lose weight than those who don't. In some cases, label reading is even more effective than exercise. "I'm finding that reading labels is useful," said Mandal, an assistant professor in the WSU School of Economic Sciences. "People who are trying to lose ...

Learning to live on land: How some early plants overcame an evolutionary hurdle

2010-09-15

The diversity of life that can be seen in environments ranging from the rainforests of the Amazon to the spring blooms of the Mohave Desert is awe-inspiring. But this diversity would not be possible if the ancestors of modern plants had just stayed in the water with their green algal cousins. Moving onto dry land required major lifestyle changes to adapt to this new "hostile" environment, and in turn helped change global climate and atmospheric conditions to conditions we recognize today. By absorbing carbon while making food, and releasing oxygen, early plants shaped ecosystems ...

Glaciers help high-latitude mountains grow taller

2010-09-15

Glaciers can help actively growing mountains become higher by protecting them from erosion, according to a University of Arizona-led research team. The finding is contrary to the conventional view of glaciers as powerful agents of erosion that carve deep fjords and move massive amounts of sediment down mountains. Mountains grow when movements of the Earth's crust push the rocks up. The research is the first to show that the erosion effect of glaciers – what has been dubbed the "glacial buzzsaw" – reverses on mountains in colder climates. The researchers were surprised, ...

Nature study shows how molecules escape from the nucleus

2010-09-15

September 15, 2010 – (BRONX, NY) – By constructing a microscope apparatus that achieves resolution never before possible in living cells, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have illuminated the molecular interactions that occur during one of the most important "trips" in all of biology: the journey of individual messenger Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules from the nucleus into the cytoplasm (the area between the nucleus and cell membrane) so that proteins can be made. The results, published in the September 15 online edition of Nature, ...

Glaciers boost mountain growth in Andes

2010-09-15

New Haven, Conn.—Glaciers have carved some of the planet's most dramatic landscapes, from Yosemite National Park to the Himalayas. Now geologists have discovered that glaciers can do more than erode mountain peaks and shape valleys—they can actually encourage mountain growth. A new study, which appears in the September 16 issue of Nature, found that glaciers in the southern reaches of the Patagonian Andes have acted as a kind of protective shield throughout the mountain range's 25-million-year history, providing the first evidence to contradict the widely held belief ...

Experts from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Centre for Transplantation at King's College London, based at Guy's Hospital, have revealed exciting new scientific developments for people with an organ transplant, intended to help prevent rejection of the new organ and extend its life. Although organ transplantation has been taking place for over 50 years, there are a number of significant challenges, such as a shortage of donor organs, maintaining the quality of an organ in transit, and the risk of organ rejection both immediately after transplant and in the following ...
