Overview
Discover the wilder side of the Fort Worth Stockyards on a foodie crawl filled with Texas eats, historic saloons and stories hiding in plain sight. Time your visit to catch the famous Fort Worth Herd cattle drive before the crawl, when available. Come hungry for 6 tastings including Choctaw fry bread, smoked brisket and Southern specialties—with plenty of food for a meal.
Between bites, uncover the Cowtown that followed the cattle money—gambling, brothels, gunslingers, power and corruption. Hear how Hell’s Half Acre earned its notorious reputation and discover the stories behind the world’s smallest and largest honky-tonks and the legendary White Elephant Saloon.
When available, enjoy a special visit with the innkeeper at historic Miss Molly’s, a former bordello known for its colorful past, reported hauntings and ghostly legends.
Part foodie crawl, part saloon hop and a side of Cowtown most visitors never hear about.
