Weitzman, FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON Jason Graman with Fork & Fire in Plano is bringing his restaurant concept to Hub 121 in McKinney. Fork & Fire will be located at 7540 SH 121 in McKinney and will oer a ne-casual setting with many of the same menu items as the Plano location, Graman said. “We are trying to really elevate our brand and focus on some of the things that have helped us set ourselves apart with Fork & Fire in Granite Park, which is our bar,” he said. “Here in McKinney the bar is going to be centric to our dining room space, and we’re going to elevate it just a notch.” The goal is to bring some of the air of Dallas or other parts of the country for a nice date night into the neighborhood, Graman said. Food at Fork & Fire will be protein- focused, with chefs preparing meals on

a wood re grill at 650 degrees to sear in the avor, Graman said. The salmon is sourced from the Faroe Islands, and the steaks are kin to Kobe beef and raised in Texas. Drinks are made with the restaurant’s own simple syrups, “and very little of them,” Graman said. The restaurant will also oer an expansive patio that will overlook the green space provided at Hub 121. Construction will take place this spring and summer, with the restaurant slated to open by late summer, Graman said. www.forkandre.com
