Funkytown Foodie

At a going away party for a co-worker last month (where I served Spicy Corn Dip), one of the new doctors on our psychiatry team came up to me.  "I hear you're the person to go to for restaurant suggestions in Fort Worth," said Dr. Hill.  My reply? "Oh, goodness, well I don't know that I'm the best person, but I do have some suggestions!"  I agreed to email Dr. Hill a list of my favorite restaurants in Fort Worth, but I told her I would need the weekend to think on it.  Monday morning, I sent her an email with 35 of my favorite Fort Worth stomping grounds.  


Dr. Hill's response?  "Oh my gosh!!!! You should put this on your blog or somewhere!!!!  Thanks so much!!!!"  And, so I am! Here, divided up by food type, are my top picks for Funkytown.  So, while I would love for you to cook up a Katherine in the Kitchen recipe, if you decide to go out for a happy hour or night on the town- try one of these hotspots for a tummy-pleasin' time.  P.S. Yes, I'm aware that some of these aren't exclusive to Fort Worth, but that doesn't make them any less delicious!
