Greetings

Dallas has few diversions other than eating, drinking and shopping.....and shopping does not interest us.
So we spend our time hopping from restaurant to restaurant and to every pub that we can find in search of the perfect meal and the perfect beer.

We randomly review restaurants and bars, dishes and beers at whim and give our brutally honest opinions of our findings. And while we concentrate on Dallas, we travel far and wide to sample cuisine from all regions of the country and beyond.

Fort Worth Oktoberfest 2015

Man-oh-man do we ever love Oktoberfest.  Fort Worth fires off the first salvo with news of their festivities on Panther Island.  It's closer than you think.

Oktoberfest Celebration Returns to Panther Island Pavilion
The traditional German festival will take place at The Shack September 24-26

FORT WORTH, TX—Dust off your lederhosen, the 2nd Annual Oktoberfest Fort Worth is coming back to Panther Island Pavilion! The three day festival, presented by Spaten, will stay true to the traditional, Munich-style Oktoberfest with authentic German food, music and entertainment. The festival will take place at The Shack at Panther Island Pavilion. It will feature both indoor and outdoor biergartens. Spaten Hall will serve authentic German beer, including Spaten Oktoberfest, and the outdoor biergaten will serve fall and Oktoberfest craft beers from around the country.

The festival will kick off Thursday with local leaders participating in the ceremonial tapping of the kegs. The celebration will continue Friday evening and all day Saturday.

Entertainment will include traditional German music from entertainers like Brave Combo, Alpenmusikanten, Walburg Boys, Third Generation, Alpine Village Band, Das Ist Lustig and more. Additional Oktoberfest activities will include a dachshund race, bier barrel rolling races, chicken dancing, stein hoisting competitions, dancers of all ages performing traditional Bavarian folk dances and more. Saturday morning will kick off with a 5K, 1-mile fun run and a 15-mile bike ride lead by Mayor Betsy Price which will end just in time for the opening of the festival.

Authentic German food will be available. The menu will include German favorites such as bratwursts, pretzels, crepes, strudel, schnitzel, roasted nuts and more.
