Two big anniversaries happen this week: one for a Fort Worth brewery and one when a tornado changed a downtown restaurant forever. Both will mark the occasions this week. There's also a French wine tasting on a neighborhood grocer patio, and a cooking class perfect for beginner home cooks.

25th Anniversary of Downtown Tornado at Reata
On the night of March 28, 2000, everything changed for Reata restaurant, which was located atop the Bank One building downtown on the 35th floor. An F3 tornado struck causing catastrophic damage to the building and ultimately forced Reata to move. (Fortunately, no one was hurt at the restaurant.) Reata will bring back some beloved dishes from that year for one night to mark the milestone. (Word is wild boar and venison might be on the menu.) Visit for an evening of classic dishes.
