Fort Worth

While we were adventuring outside of Waco, we thought we would make a big loop through Fort Worth on our way back home.  Owen and I had never been and it was something we wanted to see so David took us to see the stockyards first.

A good tip is most of the things to do seemed to be closed on weekdays. Like the petting zoo which is only open on the weekends. But Owen found these ponies that let us pet them.

Also the cowboys do a cattle drive at 11:30 and 4:30. We missed this by probably 15 minutes.

But we found the longhorns behind the exchange building.

We took a stroll through the stock yards. 

And then decided it was time for lunch. We drove over to the Woodshed Smokehouse along the Trinity River. 

Chef Tim Love pays homage to all things grilled, roasted, and slow cooked featuring a daily rotating selection of beef, lamb, pork, cabrito, wild game, fish and vegetables all cooked over a variety of woods and fire sources. 

We started with smoked hummus and camp bread. We are hummus fans and this was the most flavorful  and delicious we have ever had. That smoky garlicky flavor just really kicks it up a notch.

I had the tacos with bulgogi beef and house kimchi. It is a Korean style beef that is sweet and spicy. The picture does not do the flavor justice. It was amazing.

David opted for the Butcher's sandwich with brisket, pulled pork and elk sausage. 

The Mexican corn was also a huge treat with the cotija cheese.

and we had to finish with something sweet…chocolate pie with a roasted marshmallow meringue topping. 

Definitely recommend the Woodshed. It is near the Fort Worth Zoo if you are in that area.

We had a great trip. Saw things we had never seen. Had fun with our kids and made some new memories and ate some delicious food along the way.
