No, the best place to get a true Mexican treat in Fort Worth isn’t Joe T. Garcia’s or Uncle Julio’s.
The tastiest Mexican munchies come from food stands located throughout the city called Chamoy… puro antojo.
Specializing more in snacks than meals, the three Chamoys serve up snow cones and chips with deca-dent south-of-the-border twists.
“It’s like the real Mexican stuff,” said L.A.-raised Bryan Torres, who discovered the Rosedale location (not even 5 minutes from Wesleyan) and hasn’t stopped going yet.
The cochinada, “nastiness” in English, is the gateway snack that comes in small and large sizes. The simple ingredients sound odd but meld perfectly: steamed corn is poured into a bag of conchitas, Mexican corn chips, with a healthy dose of Mexican cream and crum-bled cheese. Those who do it right top their cochinadas off with the stand’s homemade lime and chile powder sauce. There isn’t a better way of getting an entire day’s calor-ic intake in one fell swoop.
Even in the most concen-trated Hispanic neighbor-hoods, Fort Worth residents would be hard-pressed to find a menu that draws out the crowds like Chamoy.
“I love this neighborhood,” said Saginaw resident Alber-to Garcia of the Rosedale lo-cation. “They sell everything around here.”
Chamoy provides tradi-tional snow cone flavors such as strawberry and pineapple, although the fruit-based syrup Chamoy uses will make you rethink
what a quality snow cone is. In-stead of slurping down an over-l y - s w e e t e n e d , mango-imitating c o n c o c t i o n —customers find themselves pull-ing out actual “mango hairs” from between their teeth.

Fall fine arts take the stageChuck [email protected]
The fall season at Wesleyan has many looking forward to the cooler weather, the changing foliage and a new season of entertainment from the music and theatre departments.
Wesleyan’s music department is very prolific, featuring 17 perfor-mances on campus alone. The mu-sic department also has concerts planned at Bass Performance Hall and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The following list is a highlight of what the music depart-ment has lined up for the fall ’10 sea-son. For more information on per-formances, times and dates, visit the department website at www.txwes.edu/music.
The West Library Piano Dedica-tion Ceremony takes place at 1:15 p.m. on Sept. 8 in the West Library. The dedication ceremony for the pi-ano generously donated by Dr. Rich-ard Gasser to the West Library will feature the music department chair Dr. Fisher taking the new piano for a test run.
The Cliburn Concert Series, which the Fort Worth Star-Telegram calls “the premier concert series in Dallas-Fort Worth,” starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 14 at Bass Performance Hall. This year will feature pianists Hao-chen Zhang, a gold medal winner in
the 2009 Cliburn Competition. After the fall break, the music de-
partment welcomes back students with another Cliburn Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at Bass Perfor-mance Hall, which will feature the talents of the Julliard String Quartet.
To usher in happy holiday spirits for the Wesleyan community, the music department will present, A Festival of Lessons & Carols at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Polytechnic United Methodist Church.
Wesleyan’s theatre department
is also hard at work this fall build-ing sets, making costumes, hanging lights and rehearsing scenes all in an effort to bring the Wesleyan com-munity quality theatre.
The first offering this season will be Dr. Chekhov’s Vaudevilles, di-
rected by Theatre Wesleyan chair Jeanne Everton. The production’s stage manager Sarahi Salazar said it is going to be great working with someone who loves the show so much. “It’s different when the direc-tor is extremely passionate about the show,” she said.
Vaudevilles is a collection of short comedies by writer and physician An-ton Chekhov and will feature a host of Wesleyan actors who will bring Chek-hov’s playfully cynical tales to life.
The play begins at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 30 – Oct. 2, and Oct. 7 – 10 in the Thad Smotherman Theatre.
Crimes of the Heart will be Theatre Wesleyan’s next theatrical perfor-mance in November. This Pulitzer Prize winning play has also been adapted into a 1986 movie starring Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek and Di-ane Keaton.
It tells the story of three sisters who have endured a traumatic childhood together. With the dete-riorating health of their childhood caregiver Old Granddaddy, and the recent legal trouble of the youngest, Babe, it would seem that the trauma these sisters have had to endure all their lives will continue indefinitely.
