Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo
January 13 – February 4, 2012

This is the last full weekend to check out the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo which runs until February 4, 2012. My family and I visited last weekend and had a great time. This year the Stock Show has a free app for smartphones which provides helpful maps and schedules of the daily events.

We started off with the Rodeo at 10AM and then worked our way through all the exhibit halls. I’m as “city mouse” as it gets but it was fun to check out all the livestock and I especially loved seeing all the different varieties of roosters and chickens.

Of course you won’t go hungry at The Stock Show there’s food and snacks and beverages at every turn. We enjoyed our fair share of corn dogs, burgers, and funnel cakes. If you’re looking for a spot to eat nearby pre or post Stock Show or Rodeo check out my handy list of spots.

Lambert’s Brunch

by Josie on January 20, 2012

They say everything is bigger in Texas and that’s certainly true of the brunch at Lamberts. Lambert’s brings it big for brunch. I dare say it’s one of the best brunches in Fort Worth.

Lambert's Brunch

I’ve reviewed Lambert’s before and I’m a fan of their bold Texas cuisine. If you haven’t visited Lambert’s before you’ll find familiar Texas and Southern dishes given a little twist.

The unique brunch set up at Lambert’s makes it a standout and will guarantee you won’t leave hungry. During brunch you can choose from buffet items as well as order off their brunch menu, all included in the brunch price of $24.99. For a few extra bucks you can even get bottomless mimosas.

You’ll find the buffet items laid out in a rustically casual way. The buffet items on my visit included fresh fruit and salad. But forget that healthy stuff when you can pile your plate with some of the best migas I’ve tasted, bacon, roasted potatoes, and excellent prime rib at the carving station.

Lambert's Brunch

The buffet items will hold you over while you wait for any items you’ve ordered off the menu. The made to order items we tried were the omelets, french toast, eggs benedict, and green chile cheese grits.

The omelet I ordered was nicely prepared and filled with goat cheese, mushrooms,and spinach. The fillings did not overwhelm the tasty omelet and it paired well with the green chile cheese grits. You kind of have to order the Green Chile Cheese Grits. Even if you’re not a grits fan, they just might convert you. I personally think they’re heaven in a bowl.

The French Toast did not disappoint. Golden fried, thick cut slices of Brioche bread smothered in syrup and powdered sugar- hard to go wrong. My kids can vouch for their yum factor.

If you’re an Eggs Benedict fan don’t pass up the chance to try Lambert’s take on the classic. They come topped with Prime Rib and a Chipotle Hollandaise. If you aren’t feeling adventurous don’t worry they also offer the traditional version of this dish.

Lambert's Brunch

Leave a little room for their amazing desserts. The Coconut Cream Pie looked spectacular and tasted even better. Just a decadently delicious dessert with a sumptuous filling and a light as air topping. The Red Velvet Cake proved just as tasty as the Coconut Cream Pie with a pleasant texture – although I would’ve loved more of the icing on top.

If you’re looking for the ultimate brunch experience in Fort Worth head to Lambert’s.
The brunch at Lambert’s is truly a treat. We visited to celebrate my Mother-in-law’s birthday and it struck just the right note of upscale yet comfortable and casual. The food strikes a similar chord and keeps a balance between rustic and elegant. I’d definitely recommend it for special occasions or if you’re just looking for a culinary treat and a relaxing spot to enjoy time with friends.
