Piattello-I think He’s Italian!

Good Day Chow Hounds,

Trey & Chef Marcus

Two years ago, my buddy and creative genius – Celebrity Chef Marcus Paslay, told me he had an idea for an Italian restaurant. As most of you may know, my family owned an Italian restaurant and my father Barney married an Italian lady twenty-five years ago. Half of my family consists of genuine, authentic Italians. They speak Italian, live in Italy, raise children in Italy, have businesses in Italy, and we have a family home in Italy. I’ve traveled all over Italy. I’ve gotten to eat and chow down on some of the most amazingly fresh Italian food you could possibly have by some of the most incredibly talented Italian Chefs of the world. One of them-my father Barney, dedicated his life to studying the history, food, and general way of life in Italy.

Fort Worth Business Press Article Nov 21, 2016!

Mercury Chop House restaurant will be back in downtown Fort Worth, opening in the former Vivo 53 space at the corner of Taylor and Fifth streets.

Owner Zack Moutaouakil found the spot a few blocks west of his former site at 301 Main, where Mercury Chop House had been for more than 15 years. The restaurant will be open Thanksgiving Day to feed the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, then will be closed to complete the remodeling.

“I’m thinking we’ll be open the second week of December,” Moutaouakil said. Mercury Chop House is an upscale, wood-paneled steakhouse that serves classic cuts of Allen Brothers beef and fresh seafood.

“I have 23 years downtown…our regulars, our name downtown give us a large base and they’re happy we’re coming back,” said Moutaouakil,

ZM Investment was represented by Jim Austin with Austin Company Commercial Real Estate.

The landlord is Throckmorton Properties II LLC, represented by Chris Flesner of Retail Solutions

Thompson’s Downtown Heaven

Trey Chapman Drinks

If you travel to downtown, Fort Worth and head south on Houston Street, you will find a fantastic historic building on the west-side of the road called “Thompson’s”.

When you open the big door and walk inside, you are met with a nostalgic, literary feel. You see, Thompson’s used to be a book store and pharmacy back in the day-way back in the day. The first floor is reminiscent of an old book store, complete with book shelfs, big comfortable chairs, and couches set up to emulate a small living room. It has a remarkable, cozy feeling and is perfect for socializing. You might enjoy a wonderful, craft cocktail, a glass of wine-maybe even sip on some smooth whiskey bourbon, or a nice classic vodka.

Time To Tiki In Texas!

Trey Chapman Drinks

Five months ago, I was in Dallas at the Tipsy Alchemist visiting with master mixologist, Aaron Wang about a new project that has a tiki island vibe and would go by the name of “Pilikia”, which means trouble. The idea behind Club Pilikia comes from the minds behind The Tipsy Alchemist, ILL Minster Pub, and Truth & Alibi. I said, “Oh heck, it’s on now!” “Drink With Trey” is all over tiki-ness and island vibes.
