It seems like many of the nicer places in FW are simply Dallas retreads. 


Why does it seem that way to you? I’m not sure what you consider “nicer”, but I eat out around FW often and none of my favorite spots are Dallas retreads.

  • Ugh. When I first moved here in 2010 they used to have an old Expedition that neighbors would volunteer to drive around the neighborhood all weekend with a "SECURITY" sticker on it. Fucking stupid.

Better said, Dallas retreads and chains in downtown/central.  Del Frisco's Double Eagle, Bob's Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Texas de Brazil, Eddie V's, Ruth's Chris, Silver Fox, etc. seem to be where lots of business meals happen.  And that's usually what I'm doing when I'm in Fort Worth.  I love the old standbys like Angelo's, Railyard, Joe T's, Cattlemen's Steakhouse, and The Original Mexican Eats downtown.  Sounds like there are more places that I should explore.  Thanks for the comment.

I'm glad they're coming back AND renovating. Good cheap eats, but the one over here by Railhead smelled like shit in the dining room.

The abandoned Camp Bowie Animal Clinic caught fire the other night.

 

And this won’t last long here.

Ya seeing that slice city move gave me the sad, they should have just cashed out. Solid ‘Za but damn that’s a ways away from the hotspot across from AHHS and hulen traffic.

Teddy Wong’s, new Chinese/dumpling spot on rosedale, gets a strong thumbs up. Been open a couple months, at capacity for Sunday lunch and said most weekdays walk ins are tough to sit. Pork soup dumpling and rangoons were very good. General tso was good as well. Decent price point, very good service.

Not to bash but these are just national high end chains not Dallas chains. Business meals in every major city in the country happen here.

Fort Worth is a bunch of Dallas retreads with our Texas Roadhouse and Whataburger and Starbucks.

Goddamn thread title. 

PHOTOS - Explosion (Fort Worth) Fort Worth FD is on scene of a reported explosion in the 800 block of Houston Street in downtown. Requesting a 2nd alarm. Injuries have been reported. Updates to follow. Avoid this area. Thanks to Chelsea Davidson for the photos.

Yeah, Wild Turkey just shot straight to the top of the FBI watch list.

I have eaten at Musume a couple times.

Doesn’t look good at all. Internet says there have been some injuries but hopefully everyone makes out okay.
#5324
Good one, Fud! 

Stupid shit. I’m set to open last unread post. It didn’t open to yours. I’ll go kill myself now.

I don't see how that'd be possible, just looking at that building.  Anybody in the bottom two or three floors has got to be in pretty bad shape.  And anybody on the street outside almost certainly suffered life-threatening injuries.

1 critical, 2 serious, 11 total, rest non-life threatening. 

Restaurant was closed. 

The Sandman Hotel Group is owned by the Canadian company Northland Properties. Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi is the company’s CEO. https://t.co/saztaYt7mK

21 now. 

UPDATE: Fort Worth officials say 21 people were injured in the explosion at the Sandman Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth on Monday. https://t.co/ANBAAHILb0

 

#5328

That 21 is inflated. People seeing dollar signs went from being perfectly fine to wanting to be checked out at the hospital and they just had to have an ambulance take them there to do so.

#5331
Quite the day in FW. Explosion, crazy-ass wind, now I've received one text saying Joe T's is being sold to Sheridan, the next said Love. 
 
Who knows the Lancarte family? 

Sheridan and Love are two turds from the same ass. I don’t hate Joe T’s, but I find it wildly overrrated so I only go when required. Either one of those two assbags buys it and that’s the last reason I need to never set foot on the property ever again.

I LOL'd when I opened the Food & Travel page, and saw the thread title at the top of the list.  Wrong, I know.

Same. Straight to hell I go.

Gas line underneath the basement on the customer side of the meter. Structural damage all the way up to the 7th floor. Blew a 6’ piece of the sidewalk up and outward about ten feet.

There was a "shooting" in Houston around NYE.  A bullet from "celebratory gunfire" fell through the open sunroof of the "victim's" car, bounced off of his shoulder and landed on the floor mat.  Taken by ambulance and it never broke the skin.  But he was a gunshot victim. And the newsbunnies went wild!

Do you have inside knowledge of this? That’s a weird judgement to make otherwise.

Anybody that was inside the building potentially has some ear issues, as the pressure wave from the explosion would have been pretty large.

I heard quite a while ago Joe T's was looking for a buyer but the number they were asking was so absurd I blew it off as gossip.

It was scheduled to come down today anyways.  We saw the tree about month ago while downtown having dinner.  Probably the most beautiful Christmas tree that I’ve ever seen at 80 feet tall.

They were demanding a cash buyer.

I don’t eat at a Joe T’s for the usual reasons but if the family can cash out selling it for millions then good for them. American dream. I remember as a kid you’d go in The back door thru the kitchen. I remember there was once a mama dog with her puppies by the kitchen and the waitress took me back to play with them.
