Howdy, downtown Fort Worth! 🤠

Thanks to @renWorthington for having us at their Global Day of Discovery in downtown Fort Worth. The day was full of Cow Town-inspired activities like shopping through local boutique shops, tastings from @torotorofw and catching a movie at @rooftopcinemaclub!

Check back tomorrow for more on @rooftopcinemaclub.🎦

New menu at an old favorite! ✨ We checked out the updated menu at @oddfellowsoc at @bishopartsdistrict and there’s so much to try!

Oddfellows has long been a weekend brunch favorite (& they DO have new brunch items available, including a Duck Bacon Sandwich we are absolutely going to make a part of our lives), but they also have a great dinner menu.

Here’s everything we tried:
🍸 Nude Beach*
🍸 Odd But Friendly*
🦐 Shrimp Ceviche
🧀 Cheese & Charcuterie
🫛 Green Bean Salad
🍖 Tamarind Short Rib
🐟 Striped Bass
🍰 Strawberry Shortcake

*We asked our server for a drink recommendation off the new menu & she actually let us know we can add alcohol to any of the new mocktails, so we did! The Odd But Friendly was so refreshing & the Family Beach became the Nude Beach! 😂

PS we also asked the owners for their favorite item off the new menu. They told us to get the Tamarind Short Rib & they didn’t lead us astray!

Food nerds reporting from Coppell Farmers Market!

Food nerds reporting from Coppell Farmers Market! 🚜🐖👩‍🌾

Did you know that you can get ALL of your staples at the Coppell Farmers Market every Saturday? We are talking 🥩🥛🥚🧀, of course 🍑🥦🥬🥕🍎🍐, and even 🍷. Say, what?!

We met some amazing people, including farmers, bakers, makers, and foodies!

The offerings are seasonal, so it’s worth keeping @coppellfarmersmarket in your rotation all year.

The farmers market has a shaded pavilion with inside and outside booths, a farm-themed playground, interactive fountain area, and restrooms. Several restaurants are within walking distance.

One Saturday, we had breakfast at The Local Dinner, popped over to let the kids play in the splash area, AND bought from goodies from the local vendors.

Remember life’s # 1 rule: always save room for dessert! 🍰🍪 @milkbarstore cookies & pie are now available at @oomikitchen!

We love Oomi’s digital kitchen concept because you can order from 10+ different restaurant concepts in one pick-up or delivery order, & their newest concept is none other than cult favorite Milk Bar! Oomi is the only place in North Texas serving freshly baked Milk Bar cookies & their signature Milk Bar pie, the ooey gooey sweet & salty pie that put Milk Bar on the map. It was so good, it used to be called “crack pie.” 🤩

Add a slice of pie or one of five cookie flavors, including Compost or our fav, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, to any order. PS: they’re still offering $2 delivery within a 5 mile radius of the kitchen.
