Even though I've lived most of my life in DFW, I don't know Ft. Worth very well, but my #50by50 challenge is the perfect opportunity to explore the city where I live. The Stockyards are perhaps one of the most well known attractions of Ft. Worth. While I have been to Billy Bob's for a few concerts over the years, I haven't really spent much time down there. When I read about the Hotel Drover, I knew it would be one of my #50by50s.
Sunday brunch at 97 West Kitchen & Bar at the Hotel Drover is an absolute must! For an appetizer, we started with the giant cast iron skillet, complete with candied pecans. Piping hot and so so delicious! You will definitely want to order one to share, although you may want to order it at the end of your meal for dessert. It was super sweet.
I splurged and ordered the crab cake benedict. OMG!!! Incredibly decadent and scrumptious. An English Muffin with spinach, Roma tomatoes, poached eggs, crab cakes, and hollandaise sauce. There really aren't the words to describe how amazing this dish was. I've ordered it many time before at all sorts of places, but this was the best.
After brunch, we walked around Mule Alley a little bit and discovered the Cowtown Winery tasting room.
There's so much more to explore down there, so I plan on visiting again (when it's a bit cooler) for a part 2. Hopefully when I return to the Stockyards I'll also get a chance to see the cattle drive.
