DUO MODERN MAKEOVER RED-LETTER DAYS AT RED ANTLER HOUSE OF YO RIDES INTO HENKEL SQUARE JORDAN GEIBEL D uo Modern, the restaurant at the heart of Paul Michael's Market Hill venue, has expanded and brought in an accomplished team led by Le Cordon Bleu- trained chef Glenn Walton. He brings a refined seasonal approach to live-fire cooking rooted in Texas traditions. A live-fire grill and pizza oven are among the new kitchen amenities that allow for a larger menu under the direction of Walton and his team, which includes James Beard winner and live-fire-cooking expert Tim Byres as consulting chef and hospitality director to help guide the re-concepting of Duo Modern; service manager McKenzi Alford; and GM Lucas Martin. The new menu is built around wood-grilled meats, vibrant garden fare, rustic breads, and shareable plates. Exceptional are starters such as grilled olives with candied citrus and herbs ($12) and whipped feta with wild local honey ($12) served with crusty rustic bread. The bone-in 22-ounce cowboy ribeye makes a mighty presentation ($45), and whole bronzino ($32) and seared cod ($28) are superb. The cocktail program is abundant, with Texas spirits, seasonal fruit infusions, and house-made mixers. The tradition of Duo Modern's bountiful buffet for lunch during the antiques shows continues. Open for lunch and dinner weekends year-round, including Sunday brunch. Visit markethillroundtop. com to book a spot. Duo Modern at Market Hill, 1542 N. Texas Hwy. 237, Round Top, @duo_markethill. H ouse of Yo's Yalonda Yo has turned her passion for collecting vintage Western wear into her life's work. Raised in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, Yo moved to L.A. to pursue building a fashion brand. Yo's daughters — with whom she collaborates on House of Yo — live and work in Paris. Daughter Michaela Perau is the visual director of Vogue France; and Kiana Perau is a global art buyer for Hermès. Yo scours Paris and the western U.S. for vintage archival Western wear, which she sells by private appointment in L.A. — and now in Round Top. House of Yo's log cabin in Henkel Square serves as the rustic backdrop for elevated, well-traveled pieces from iconic American brands Levi's, Wrangler, Lee, and Carhartt, all of which mesh with vintage suede and leather jackets, old collectible cowboy hats, and vintage cowboy boots.
