Here's what's happening in Fort Worth restaurant news:

Fifty Fifty is a food truck serving gourmet sandwiches and the name tells the story: They specialize in half plant-based foods and half traditional meat meat meat. On the traditional side, there's a chicken parm, Italian beef, bacon Caprese (regular tomato-and-mozzarella Caprese but with bacon), and roast pork with broccoli rabe, a very gourmet green to put on your pork sandwich. The vegan side has a Philly made with mushrooms and cashew queso, a falafel burger with vegan tzatziki, a "hot" honey fried mushroom sandwich, and avocado toast with microgreens & crunchy chickpeas. Prices range from $10-$15, portions are hefty, and sandwiches come with golden skin-on fries. Founder/chef Justin Brewer, who attended Culinary School of Fort Worth, posts the truck's schedule on Instagram; this week's stops include Turning Point Brewery on May 5, and a pickleball tournament May 6-7.

Magic Cup is a new coffee and boba tea spot in Arlington, located at 3970 N Collins St. They're part of a small family-owned chain founded by MyLynn Nguyen, David and John Ly, who opened their original location in Richardson, followed by locations in Houston and McKinney. They make boba teas, smoothies, frappes, espresso drinks, all with attention to detail. ("Our coffee beans are locally roasted in Dallas with a top of the line Probat 1969 UG-22 roaster," their website says.) They filter their water three times through a reverse osmosis system, and they cook their boba fresh every four hours, sweetening it with honey and raw cane sugar to give it the irresistible chewy texture you want in a little tapioca pearl. Join them in their Arlington grand opening on May 6.
