Tonight Mike and Tammy took us to a local gas station in nearby Watauga for dinner. As we drove up, it sure enough looked like a gas station with pumps out front and limited parking. The main parking area is behind the building. This place is called Chef Point Café and surely is one of Ft. Worth area best-kept secrets. This cafe was featured on the Food Channel and reviewed in the New York Times. Chef Franson Nwaeze had worked for other restaurants and wanted to start his own business. He found that it was easier to obtain a loan for a gas station than a restaurant. So he bought a gas station and added a café on the side. He still sells gasoline but his main concentration is on food service. The food was excellent and the service was great. If you are ever in the Ft. Worth area be sure to stop here for a terrific meal. You can get more information at his website: http://www.chefpointcafe.org/.

Chef Franson stopped at our table as he made his rounds of the café.
