Today was my second trip down to the Fort Worth Stockyards. The historic stockyards were once the last major stop for the drovers heading longhorn cattle up the Chisholm Trail. As one of the greatest livestock and meatpacking industries in the country, the stockyards would earn Fort Worth the nickname “Cowtown”. Today many of the historic buildings have been preserved and the Stockyards are one of the largest tourist attractions in Texas. One of the main attractions is Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honky-tonk. Spanning three acres, Billy Bob's has an indoor rodeo arena, dozens of bars, restaurants, arcade games, and a Wall of Fame with celebrity hand prints including those of Johnny cash.
Twice a day they walk the longhorns down the main street for all the tourists. They move slow but those things are huge! Unfortunately they don't let you run with them like in Barcelona.
Watching all the cattle walk by put me in the mood for a burger so we headed over to the the Love Shack. I went all out and got the Dirty Love Burger which is famous for a unique ingredient, the quail egg. The burger is a combination of prime tenderloin and prime brisket and it is DELICIOUS! You can find out more about the Love Shack here.
I want to hop on one of the cattle & ride to the love shack for one of those tasty looking burgers. Wow!!
