Oldpenny, It's very unfortunate that a city as big as FT. W. has such a small selection of Idine restaurants. I keep an eye on the ones offered there because my mother and other family live there. They won't participate because there are so few (and they are not the die hard miles collectors you and I are).
Dallas seems to have a much more vast number.
Here in SAT we have over 60 restaurants. So it is very easy to select them for well over half of our dining out.
I consider it a real coupe when I can collect a friend's cash and charge the entire meal. Just wish it happened more often!

I made a chart of the limited number of IDINE restaurants in my area that we visit, less than 5, with a check box for each month. Making sure that I check the IDINE site for updates, I make sure that we don't repeat a restaurant in a given month unless we really want to very, very much.
For those in the Fort Worth area, the new Bellagio's on Bryant Irvin is very good. IDINE for sure. Medium priced family Italian restaurant. Check the WEB site for which days IDINE is honored. Dinner for 4 with bottle of very nice wine, desserts and tip will yield me a nice 1,000 or so FF miles.
We have friends who only use cash, so they give us their cash and I pay the bill on my linked card. What a deal!
Yes, there are people who still use only cash.
Prehistoric!
