Before too long, I'll be landing at DFW and heading west to Fort Worth for the first time in a long time. Upon getting in the car I plan to adjust my car radio dial to 1310 the Ticket. I guess Greggo is gone but I’m dying to hear the Musers, Norm and Reiner.
My wife asked where I will be going first, food-wise. Maybe not exactly in this exact order, but here’s my list:
Central Market for lunch. Good salad bar, nice tables to sit outside. It’s too bad the original store managers are gone. They added something to the place and kept a closer eye on the finer details.
Starbucks on University – at some point you’ll find us sitting at the kids table in Barnes and Noble drinking a cup of coffee and playing with the grandkids. Hadn’t seen Elvis the artist at the window table in a while either.
Trinity River – the wife and I will take a long walk along the river on the North side of downtown. She’ll talk, I’ll listen, and somehow that’s the right order of things.
Mi Cocina’s downtown for a good Mexican meal with the family. If we can get an outdoors table , all the better.
Kinkaid’s for a burger. They haven’t moved yet have they?
Rangers game on Saturday night, I might even break down and have a ballpark beer and brat. Mavericks? Nah.
On Sunday, I’ll be fake singing in the choir at St Mary of the Assumption on Magnolia. Hey Ken. Donuts for the kids from Paul's.
Lunch again at Central Market, or Carshon's, maybe.
One night we’ll be at Charlie's for pizza.
I need to fit in a visit to Lili’s. I like those guys.
My daughter's for dinner on Sunday night with a few (dozen) friends.
I hope the taco truck is still there on 8th around Elizabeth. I have to see what’s going on downtown with the Omni, Lancaster Blvd, 7th Street, etc. It’s amazing, but they’re getting along just fine without me.
If I'm missing the "best of" something, please let me know. Remember, I only have 5 days.
