GOOD FOOD
Is breakfast your favorite meal of the day? Then you'll find
lots to smile about at la Madeleine, 6140 Camp Bowie Blvd, Ft
Worth, 817-654-0471. Here you'll find wonderful breakfast choices
like their French Country breakfast with eggs, bacon or sausage,
a yummy fresh baguette, and a tasty French style potato pancake.Don't
worry if you are not an early riser, they have lots of tempting
options on their lunch and dinner menu too.
Two more local favorites not to be missed are Chef Point Cafe
and Fred's Texas Cafe. Now once you pull up to Chef
Point Cafe, 5901 Watauga Rd, Watauga, TX, 817-656-0080, and
find yourself in front of a gas station you may hesitate taking
my advice. But trust me--through those doors waits some of the
best food you will ever find like escargot, cioppino soup, blackened
stuffed pork chops, and bread pudding with hot cognac sauce!
And a visit to Fred's
Texas Cafe, 915 Currie St, 817-332-0083, will give you a
chance to sample even more taste bud treats like the Diablo burger,
a tasty rib eye with enchiladas plate, and their famous quail
and egg breakfast. Another fun local favorite is Smoke,
901 Fort Worth Ave, Dallas, 214-393-4141. Here you'll be tempted
by home cooking specialities like green chile & brisket Hash,
Hungry Bear Ham,cheese grits and hominy casserole, and genuine
drop biscuits.
If you want reasonably priced Tex-Mex food try one of the
El Fenix Mexican Restaurants, call 214-747-1121 for a list of
locations, including locations at 11075 Harry Hines, 972-241-2171;
and 1601 McKinney Ave, 214-747-1121. For something a little fancier,
head to the Blue Mesa Grill, 5100 Beltline Rd., Addison, TX,
972-934-0165. If you've always want to sample great tamales,
drop in at Hot Damn Tamales, 713 W Magnolia Ave, 817-926-9909.
Here you can choose from over 10 different types of tamales including
one that can be served for dessert!
If you are going to be exploring the charming downtown of
Grapevine, TX you'll be happy to know that you can enjoy a wonderful
breakfast at the Main Street Cafe & Bread Baking Company,
316 Main St, 817-424-4333. Or if lunch is more to your liking,
the locals think you'll love the great food, including their
fish tacos, at the Baja Mexican Grill, 112 William D. Tate Ave,
817-481-3422.
Going to head instead to the Denton Texas area? Then you'll
want to check out the Chestnut Tree Garden Tea Room, 107 W Hickory
St, 940-591-9475; or Hannah's Off the Square, 111 W Mulberry,
940-566-1110. If an old fashioned sundae or soda would make you
smile, get ready to grin as you walk into Beth Marie's Old fashioned
Ice Cream and Soda Fountain, 117 W Hickory St, 940-384-1818.
If your spice of choice is barbecue, then you'll want to head
on over to Dickey's Barbecue Pit, 7770 Forest Lane or one of
their other 11 locations, 214-691-1494. Here you'll find great
smoked meats and an ice cream machine in case you treated your
taste buds to just a little too much sauce. For a great barbecued
sandwich drop in at Angelo's, 2533 White Settlement Rd., Fort
Worth, TX, 817-332-0357; or Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse, 302 N Market
St., 214-744-1610.
A place that touts the fact that it sells buckets of ribs,
chicken, catfish, crab legs, and 74 kinds of beer, like Dick's
Last Resort, 1701 N Market St, 214-747-0001, has to be worth
a try. If you'd rather sample Cajun cooking, head to Razzoo's
Cajun Cafe, 318 Main St., Fort Worth, TX, 817-429-7009.
If a great hamburger is what you crave, the locals recommend
you head to Keller's Drive In, 6537 E Northwest Hwy, 214-368-1209;
Louie's, 1829 N Henderson, Dallas, 214-826-0505; or the Prince
of Hamburgers, 5200 Lemmon Ave, 214-526-9081. Though I wouldn't
normally recommend a deli and bakery in a gas station, Rumpy's
is the exception. This yummy German bakery & deli is located
in the Valero Gas Station at I-35 & exit 497 on Frontage
Road, 940-612-1121, in Gainsville and is know by all the local
freeway travelers as a must stop and for good reason. Once you
taste their tasty cake slices and fritters you'll be sure and
want to take some out to the rig for later. Oh and don't forget
their deli meats and cheeses.
Since you're in beef country, you'll have to break down and
eat some red meat or I don't think they'll let you out of town.
So why not get it over with at the local favorite Cattlemen's,
open since 1947, 2458 N Main St, 817-624-3945, Old San Francisco
Steak House, Restaurant Row, 10965 Composite Dr., 214-357-0484;
the Star Cafe, 111 W Exchange, 817-524-8701; or the Trail Dust
Steak House, 10841 Composite Dr., 214-357-3862.
If you are feeling a little swanky, head on over to Reata,
500 Throckmorton, Fort Worth, TX, 817-336-1009, for neat dishes
like oven-roasted chicken with Dutch-oven potatoes or an excellent
chicken fried-steak and mashed potatoes, For good measure end
the evening with a serving of West Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie!
If just a great meal isn't enough to satisfy you, then you'll
find happiness at Medieval Times, 2021 N Stemmons Freeway, reservations
required, 214-761-1800. As you munch on your four course banquet,
you can witness dramatic horsemanship, falconry, jousting, and
hand-to-hand combat.
Just can't decide what sounds good? Then head for Restaurant
Row, Composite Drive just off Walnut Lane at the Stemmons Freeway.
Here you''ll find all kinds of restaurants ranging from home
cookin' to fancy cuisine. You'll also find all kinds of fast
food restaurants scattered around town, with a pretty good selection
along Harry Hines St. and South Buckner Blvd.
Now if your idea of a good time is to skip the food and get
right down to drinking and dancing then you'll want to head out
to Billy Bob's Texas, 2520 Rodeo Plaza, Fort Worth, 817- 589-1711.
Billed as the world's largest honky-tonk and dance hall, Billy
Bob's has 30 bar stations, a huge dance floor, and a gallery
of cement hand prints of some of country westerns most famous
acts, all squeezed into a tiny 100,000 square foot building.

goodies to tempt you including chocolate, applesauce, lemon,
and seasonal flavors in both regular and babycake sizes. And

Bowie, why not explore this area where you'll find lots of
neat shops like the Artful Hand and PS The Letter.
