"Black is just fun to work with," says Tim Love of the Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in Fort Worth, Texas, where he just started serving a fig-and-black-lime margarita and surrounds his mango-sautéed salmon with an intense puree of earthy black trumpet mushrooms. "It's unexpected. It looks great on a plate," he says. The visual élan also appeals to the chefs at DavidBurke & Donatella in New York City.
