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

    FORT WORTH, TX, September 15, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 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.
