"Jeff Payne, owner of Cousins BBQ, is stepping into the fine-dining space with a new restaurant in Fort Worth in partnership with Jason Cross and chef Michael Duff, formerly of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood. Menu details remain under wraps; the project is being designed by Maven with the TV series Mad Men cited as an inspiration for the aesthetic. Expected opening date: April/May 2025." - Courtney E.
