In the January issue of Frisco STYLE, learn about several innovative health and wellness treatments available in our city, and get a preview of the vibrant hues that have been designated the colors of the year for 2023. Meet award-winning photographer Robert Shreve, whose work is on display at his namesake gallery at The Star. Also, get a glimpse of the menus at a dozen of Frisco’s breakfast-and brunch-dining hotspots.

Nevertheless, there are times when “I’ll
travel thousands of miles to get some-
place and the environment isn’t right (or)
the scene isn’t there or there’s inclement
weather,” he says. “You may get yourself
there, but it doesn’t mean that God is go-
ing to give you the picture. … It doesn’t
mean he is going to give you this beauti-
ful sunrise or this beautiful sunset.

“A lot of times, I’ll get someplace and
it just doesn’t happen, so I’ll have to go
back. There are places I’ve been to four,
five or six times and still have not gotten
what I wanted to get because it’s just not
there when I’m there.”

For example, Shreve says, “You can’t
just say, `I’m going to go shoot a sunrise
over the Grand Canyon.’ You may go to
the Grand Canyon 10 times and not get a
good sunrise. … There’s timing and luck
involved. You have to be at the right place
at the right time, but you also have to
have a little bit of luck that God gives you
this incredible scene to capture.”

Shreve — who shoots with a high-end
digital camera system manufactured by a
Danish company called Phase One — cer-
tainly was in the right place at the right
time during a two-week road trip across
the northeastern U.S. when he and a
friend stopped at Vermont’s Lake Elmore.
There they found a few homes tucked
amid a forest of vibrant fall-colored trees
dotting a shoreline that was mirrored on
the water.

“We drove up on this scene and I …
couldn’t get the (camera) equipment out
of the bag fast enough,” he recalls. The
resulting image, aptly titled Fall Lake Re-
flection, garnered Shreve a 2018 Epson
International Pano Silver award.

Shreve says when traveling in search of
images, “My goal is to bring something
back .. and get it in front of people where
they can see it for themselves and enjoy
it. They may never get there, but they’re
going to get to see it.”

Thinking about wellness treatments to improve your overall health may conjure up
images of being at an exclusive spa in the snow-covered Swiss Alps, or spending a
weekend at a celebrity-favorited resort in the desert of Palm Springs.

But to feel good and look your best in Frisco, the good news is you may likely only
have to drive across town since wellness therapies, med spas and providers who
specialize in helping people heal and thrive can be found throughout our city. Frisco
STYLE visited a trio of these facilities and learned about some of the services that
are available.

Snowbird Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen soars at The Star

I wasn’t sure what to expect before a recent mid-week meal at Snowbird Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen, which opened late
last year at The Star in Frisco.
Although a coworker had given high praise to a dinner he had enjoyed there earlier in the month, I still wondered: Was this
place more of a bar than a restaurant? More cocktails than kitchen? More style than substance?
That mystery continued briefly after setting foot in the small lobby, where a friend and I were directed to follow an attentive
hostess through a heavy floor-to-ceiling black curtain. Once drawn, Snowbird’s visually stunning, expansive dining room
was revealed. Its décor — with vibrant neon lighting, plush velvet furnishings, eclectic artwork, marble floors and brass
accent pieces, among others — is an obvious nod to art deco style, but with definitive modern flair.
60   FRISCOSTYLE.COM

Latin-flavored dance music pumped throughout the place as we were led to a
marble-topped table in a corner of the dining room that was not far from the
bar. Our server, Adara, soon introduced herself and filled our water glasses
from a decorative carafe before explaining the menu, which includes more
than a dozen cocktail selections, a sizeable wine list, upscale “Lounge Bites”
(appetizers), salads and entrees as well as a handful of decadent desserts.

My friend opted for a glass of Prosecco, however I was intrigued by the place’s
signature cocktail, the Snowbird, featuring a blend of tequila, orange liqueur,
coconut cream and lime juice. Atop the liquid rests a mound of crushed ice
that is spritzed with pea tea bitter spray resulting in a whimsical lavender color
that, as Adara thoughtfully explained, slowly seeps onto the top layer of the
otherwise white-hued beverage as the ice melts. Served in a Tajin-rimmed
glass, the appearance of this sweet cocktail reminded me of a classic snow
cone yet it tasted much like a delicious margarita.

Snowbird puts an Asian spin on its calamari appetizer, pairing it with kimchi, a traditional Korean side dish comprised
of salted, fermented vegetables (in this case it is cabbage) and a sweet-and-spicy Thai chili sauce. Unlike other, more
common versions of calamari, this one lacks heavy, fried breading. That is a very good thing as it allows the freshness of
the delightfully chewy squid to shine through.

Juicy red pomegranate seeds dotted the refreshingly cool Black Garlic Hummus. These fruity jewels also added a pop of
unexpected sweetness to this dish, which is served with warm grilled pita triangles. Snowbird’s thick and creamy offering
— made of chickpeas and featuring black garlic oil, pistachio crumbs and Espelette pepper — is also garnished with a
smattering of microgreens. It’s a flavorful rendition of a classic.

Another signature dish — the Snowbird Caesar
Salad — boasts large, verdant romaine leaves
coated in a light, tangy Caesar dressing.
Tucked between those is shredded parmesan
cheese baked into thin, crispy cracker-style
rounds (also called tuiles), as well as equally
thin and crispy strips of salty prosciutto ham.
This salad was a meal in itself.

I queried Adara about the entrée selection,
which includes the Bone Marrow & Zabuton
Fried Rice (a visually impressive dish served
with a large bone jutting out of the bowl), as
well as a Whole Roast Snapper and a Texas
Wagyu Beef Filet.

Smitten with the spicy Asian flavors of the
calamari appetizer, I opted to continue in
that vein for my main course and ordered the
Quinoa Chaufa Stir Fry. Served in a wide bowl,
this generously portioned dish is a colorful
blend of quinoa (an ancient grain), large chunks
of tender chicken, seasonal vegetables and
scallions in Snowbird’s flavorful, salty Nikkei
sauce, topped with crunchy sesame seeds.
With a texture unlike any stir fry I’ve ever tried
(courtesy of the quinoa), it was a winner.

Adara explained that the Truffle Mac &
Cheese was a recent addition to the menu.
Large corkscrew-shaped cavatappi pasta is
enveloped in a super-creamy sauce of vintage
cheddar, aged provolone and goat cheeses
that is infused with white truffle oil. Lightly
browned and boasting a toothsome chew, it is
topped with additional chunks of goat cheese
and scallion slices. This elevated mac and
cheese dish is most certainly crave-worthy (as
evidenced by my friend’s unrelenting hankering
for it in the days following our dinner).

The sweet treats on Snowbird’s petite dessert
menu are tempting. We were torn between
the Three Carrot Addiction, a three-layer
carrot cake topped with cream cheese icing
and semi-candied carrot shreds, and the
Chocolate Trilogy, comprised of chocolate
cake, a combination of white and dark
chocolate mousse and vanilla Chantilly.

62   FRISCOSTYLE.COM

Ultimately, we couldn’t pass on the cleverly named
Berry Me in Heaven. This small but artfully composed
cake is a real looker with a layer of vanilla cake resting
atop a layer of raspberry and mascarpone mousse. It is
accompanied by vanilla Chantilly and fresh berries lightly
dusted with confectioners sugar. This fruit-forward
dessert was a refreshingly light end to a flavor-packed,
memorable meal had in stunning surroundings. It was a
much a delight for the senses as it was the palate.
