Eats Beat: Pink plates for the cure

The panna cotta is pink this week at Max’s Wine Dive. But that’s not the only dish “going pink” to help raise money for Susan G. Komen Greater Fort Worth.

About 30 restaurants in Fort Worth and Southlake will donate 5 percent or more of sales for breast cancer awareness.

Max’s will donate more — 15 percent of every $45 — from the “Dine Out for the Cure” dinner through Saturday, featuring pumpkin soup, a pork chop with Gorgonzola cream and a berry panna cotta.

A Capital Grille $45 special, a revival of the Restaurant Week menu, ends Wednesday night. Meanwhile, a Ruth’s Chris Steak House special continues through Oct. 15.

The “Dine Out” deal will last all month at Grace, offering a $49 surf-and-turf dinner ($5 donated).

Others participating include Ellerbe Fine Foods, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro and several small restaurants such as Mariposa’s Latin Kitchen (weekends only) and Yogi’s Deli & Grill.

It’s toast

One side note on Max’s: The bourbon-pecan French toast will be on the brunch menu through Oct. 19. After that, the popular tiramisu French toast returns.

If you can’t get to Max’s for brunch Saturday or Sunday, it’s also served Mondays; 2421 W. Seventh St., Fort Worth. 817-870-1100, maxswinedive.com.

Zoned out

It may be sold out, but Grace is offering a Blue Zones healthy-cooking wine dinner Friday.

The $95 dinner features a shaved apple-radish salad, kohlrabi fritters, sunchoke soup, mushroom toast, salt-baked celery root and olive-oil cake. 817-877-3388, gracefortworth.com.

Mexico in Southlake

The new Un Rincón de México in Southlake is a complete surprise.

A former brick-oven pizza restaurant has been turned into a Mexico City-style street taqueria with taco-style pizzas, all with some of the best handmade salsas on the boulevard.

The featured pizza is pork pastor with pineapple, but the chicken, chorizo or pork asado make great pizzas, too, either with salsa and pico or mozzarella and marinara. Pizza is served Wednesday through Sunday nights ($10-$14).

Menudo and pozole also are served weekends. The ambiance is genuine, too: loud norteñas and TV soccer.

Un Rincón opens at 10 a.m. for lunch and dinner daily except Tuesdays; in Cornerstone Plaza, 2777 E. Southlake Blvd. unrincondemexico.com.
