Chef Eddy sets opening date and menu for new Bite City Grill in Fort Worth
The new Fort Worth restaurant Bite City Grill from former Pakpao chef Eddy Thretipthuangsin is set to open on Thursday, March 20. Thretipthuangsin has unveiled a menu with scallops, short ribs, burgers, lamb meatballs and flatbreads. The restaurant starts taking reservations for dinner on Monday, March 10.
Bite will open in Montgomery Plaza, in the old Monty's Corner space that was most recently Deluxe Bar & Grill. The menu is divided into sections called "Big Bites" and "Small Bites." The Small Bites section is another name for what has lately been called "small plates" — and before that was called "starters" and before that was called "appetizers."
