“My passion in the kitchen is to bring Texas pride, independence
and boldness together with our food.” — Executive Chef Keith Ervin
Thirty-five year old Keith L. Ervin, executive chef at The Connected Cactus in
the Radisson
Hotel Dallas North at Richardson,
should know a thing or two about real Texas cooking. He was, after all, born and
schooled in the state. “Texas has a long history of independence,” he
says. “We have our own way of doing things. Our food is an authentic hybrid,
provocative, strenuously charming, friendly and festive. I find it intriguing. My
passion in the kitchen is to bring Texas pride, independence and boldness together
with our food.”

About
Ft. Worth
Not long ago, when travelers flew to Dallas, Fort Worth was simply the other city
listed on the luggage tag.
No more. This vibrant town, once referred to as "Hell's Half Acre" is
recreating itself as a place of western character and cultural charm. Nowadays,
the city that sheltered Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Butch Cassidy is home to
an Old West-styled ambience that welcomes visitors and entertains residents alike.
From Sundance Square's historic storefronts to Bass Performance Hall's state-of-the-art
venues, Fort Worth shifts easily from downhome to upscale. It's got nightclubs
and rodeos, ballet troupes and golf courses, and is home to Billy Bob's (a honky-tonk
institution) as well as to the elegant Worthington Hotel. And although Dallas
often draws the attention, Fort Worth maintains a neighborly appeal that may just
trump the big city as it pulls folks into "Cowtown" like the proverbial
cattle call.
