TV celebrity chef Graham Elliot<\/a>, who helped Fort Worth-based Far Out Hospitality<\/a> revamp menus and grow to a 15-restaurant company with locations across Texas, is starting his own company and will open Commodore Tavern & Terrace, he posted Monday on social media.<\/p>\n

Elliot did not identify the location. But Fort Worth city paperwork<\/a> shows a Commodore Tavern & Terrace will open at 1101 W. Magnolia Ave., a former wine bar.<\/p>\n

Elliot and another Far Out chef, Charlie Rushton<\/a>, will open Commodore this fall as a “neighborhood restaurant,” he wrote, with “great food, great drinks, warm hospitality, and most importantly, a place we hope feels like it belongs here.”<\/p>\n

“This is just the beginning,” Elliot wrote.<\/p>\n

The Southside property was most recently home to The Magnolia<\/a> wine bar, which closed in April. It opened in 2014 as Kent & Co.<\/p>\n

Commodore joins a spate of recent openings near Magnolia including the Salt + Straw ice cream chain, Yoichi Omakase & Handroll, the Sweet Stacks Asian souffle pancake cafe and Beren Mediterranean, a nicer Turkish restaurant and bar.<\/p>\n

Elliot, a former judge on TV’s “Top Chef” and chef at Michelin-honored restaurants<\/a> in Chicago, joined Far Out Hospitality in 2022 and revamped the menus for company founder Felipe Armenta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elliott fine-tuned menus at established Far Out restaurants like The Tavern and Pacific Table, and helped shape Cowboy Prime, the company’s Midland steakhouse.<\/p>\n

He has been best known here for his work at Le Margot<\/a> in Fort Worth, ranked the No. 2 “Best New Restaurant in Texas” in 2024 by Texas Monthly magazine.<\/p>\n

Rushton, the former chef at the Crescent Court Hotel in Dallas, joined Far Out in 2023. He has a history as both a business executive and hotel chef.<\/p>\n

Far Out also operates Press Cafe, Towne Grill and Maria’s Mexican Kitchen along with Felipe’s Bar & Grill in Odessa, the Grill in San Angelo and Bosque Cantina in Walnut Springs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TV celebrity chef Graham Elliot, who helped Fort Worth-based Far Out Hospitality revamp menus and grow to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[149052,149050,149049,149053,116,118,117,149051,79489,42095,149054,149055,27,21628],"class_list":["post-429097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-commodore","tag-elliot","tag-far-out-hospitality","tag-felipe-armenta","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-graham-elliot","tag-grill","tag-magnolia","tag-rushton","tag-terrace","tag-texas","tag-texas-monthly"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
