Best Host Jennifer Kornblum, Sapristi! 2418 Forest Park Blvd, FW
Jennifer never fails to make diners feel welcome at this classy little eatery that was a serious contender for Best New Restaurant a year ago and for Best Restaurant this year. She smiles big when you enter and chats breezily with you while you're being seated. They all do that, so no big deal, right? Well, she'll come around later, in all likelihood, and chat with you during your meal -- for, like, 10 minutes! She'll make you think you're the most important customer in the restaurant. Then she'll make sure she stocks your favorite wine for your next visit. Jennifer's a jewel.
