Just Jack Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I thought you were going to say you were heading to Phoniex. You know, the capital of Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 If you've never been to this area before and would like to see some good ole' Texas Cowboy stuff, definitely get over to the "Stockyards" just north of Fort Worth. Billy Bobs is there as well. You can look at all this stuff online as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 great..... I'll be spending a lot of time in my room. 290720[/snapback] No doubt! Pervert! Depends on how much time you have and what you like to do (besides the alternative life style stuff, not that there's anything wrong with that). In no particular order The Grassy Knoll/Book Depository Fogo de Chão--Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse. They will keep bringing you various cuts of meat until you tell them to stop. The West End has some interesting stuff--bars--restaurants--shops etc. aussiew mentioned FW--lots of fun stuff there, bars, restaurants, cows running down the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Fogo de Chão--Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse. They will keep bringing you various cuts of meat until you tell them to stop. I had dinner there during my last trip (I go to Richardson/Telecom corridor about once every 8 weeks or so)--this is no lie...in fact even after you turn over your stop card--they still come over.... It was absolutely wonderful food. The veggies and other sides are great to...not that you'll have room for them after 5 lbs of beef.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough of us in the DFW area, let us know before your next trip. There are no garbage plates, but we could find someplace for lunch.

Puhonix Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm officially excited about Fogo now. Place sounds like a dream come true. Would this be a good Saturday night place where I can watch the game, or can someone point me to a good fun sports bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tab isn't cheap, and drinks are outrageously priced, but it is well worth it. Seriously give yourself an entire evening. The gauchos walk through the restaurant with long skewers of meat, each one a different cut of beef, pork, lamb or chicken. They stop at your table (if your card is green) and offer you their selection. The salad bar is outstanding as well, but it isn't the reason you're there. Unless you get there early you should make a reservation. I would recommend getting there 5ish and you'll be seated right away. By the time you are finished there will be a huge waiting list. fogo I would go to the West End to watch the game. Here's some of the available sports bars: linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
