Against my better judgment, I’ll most likely be here barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Speaking of meat sammiches, Portillo’s evidently has a food truck. Passed it about 3:15 Saturday morning just after Winscott exit headed east on 20.

Also, I guess the word is out about Hatsuyuki. Got there at 5:15 Friday and they were already full and had a line 30 deep. Drove down the street to Blue and walked right in to two seats at the bar. Not quite the same level but still not bad sushi. Happy hour for drinks and rolls goes until 6:30, so I saved some decent coin.

Emma and Travis Heim, who set off the craft barbecue explosion in Fort Worth and then retired from pit chores, will open a cocktail tavern with pizza in a historic landmark in South Main Village, Travis Heim said.

One Trick Pony Pizza Tavern will open in a former biscuit and brunch restaurant at 313 S. Main St., he said.

The restaurant, at the corner of East Broadway Avenue, has large picture windows that overlook Main Street passersby. It is in the north corner of a 1926 building that has been home to a plate glass company and, before that, a dairy supply in the days when South Main was home to several major dairy companies.

“It’s such an awesome building with exposed brick, steel beams, this super cool layout,” Travis Heim said. 

“We’ve wanted to do a pizza restaurant. When we saw the space, we thought this would be a good place for a bar and late-night hangout.” 

Heim said he always experimented with pizzas — “I’d get bored with barbecue.” He plans for One Trick Pony to serve a thin-crust, crispy New York tavern-style pizza, he said. 

The bar will also have a small menu with a few pastas and a burger, he said.

“I loved barbecue — I’m proud of my accomplishments,” Travis Heim said.

“This is an interesting new deal. We know restaurants and how to create a fun environment.”

They hope to open by the winter holidays, he said.

Tommy Smith, who opened a gas station grill in 1983 and built it into the popular Tommy’s Hamburgers restaurants, has died, Tommy’s owner Kelly Smith wrote Monday.

The original Tommy’s Mini Mart in Lake Worth eventually moved to Interstate 30 and then to Camp Bowie Boulevard. Daughter Kelly Smith took over in 2007 and has expanded Tommy’s to today’s three restaurants.

“He gave me wonderful gifts,” Kelly Smith wrote in a Facebook post. “He taught me to always believe in myself, help others by giving back to our community, work hard and always treat others with kindness and respect.”

When Glenda and Tommy Smith first took over the Mini Mart, 7028 Navajo Trail, they used a portable pancake griddle to grill up half-pound cheeseburgers such as the loaded “Trailer Burger.” 

Tommy’s was among the first Fort Worth restaurants to challenge the dominance of nationally ranked rival Kincaid’s Hamburgers.

In 1987, it was ranked one of the Star-Telegram’s “Ten Best” in Tarrant County.

Tommy’s has added locations at 1736 Mall Circle off Alta Mere Drive and also at 2455 Forest Park Blvd.

The oldest Tommy’s, now at 5228 Camp Bowie Blvd., is under repair after a recent fire.

Services are pending at Greenwood Funeral Home. 

Sidenote, does anyone die in this city & not go through Greenwood? 

There's an old joke about liquor stores, funeral homes, & one other industry that will never fail. Can't remember the third one.
