Brownstone

Not everyone—or, really, anyone—earns a nickname from Tom Colicchio, but finalist Casey Thompson was known as “Case” by Season 3’s end. Now the born-and-bred Texan helms the new Brownstone restaurant in Fort Worth, where her southern roots have a strong influence. On Thompson’s farm-fresh menu: Texas tomatoes with cream curds, mini chicken pot pies, venison sausage, and her grandmother’s fire-roasted biscuits.

Don’t Miss: Farm-to-shaker southern cocktails like the Tequila Berry Cobbler and the Serrano Celery Caipirinha.
