HOST: With a name like Prairies and Lakes,
it’s evident that this region of Texas is a study in contradictions.
And Fort Worth is no exception.
You can be sure that Fort Worth is proud of its strong Western heritage,
but its sophisticated side will make you rethink what cowboy culture is all about.
Now, we’ll ease you in with a truly Texan take on fine dining.
Located in the Stockyards National Historic District,
the award-winning Lonesome Dove Western Bistro takes the taste of Texas to a whole new level.
Native Texan and Chef Tim Love is a pioneer
of “urban Western cuisine,”
so dishes like Buffalo Ribeye
and Braised Wild Boar Ribs share the menu with global features
like New Zealand Red Deer Tenderloin.
JASON T.: It’s western cuisine and it’s fine dining with a casual, fun atmosphere.
It’s good food, good wine, good friends and good times.
HOST: A meal at the Lonesome Dove Western Bistro is rich
with culinary creativity.
At the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth,
the creativity extends far beyond the walls to the structure of the building itself.
DUSTIN: Our building was designed by Tadao Ando; he’s a Japanese architect.
You get both the beautiful space in the architecture, but you also get a really spectacular opportunity
to see the wonderful works of art in the museum.
HOST: The Permanent Collection consists of more than three thousand works of art,
including pieces by Picasso and Andy Warhol.
Bathed in natural light, the pieces are part of one of the most significant collections of postwar
contemporary art in the central United States.
Representing the other end of the decorative spectrum,
Bass Performance Hall is another stunning building that embodies the Fort Worth cultural scene.
Constructed of Texas limestone,
the hall’s beaux arts architecture is a feast for the eyes, so it makes sense that
it’s often called the Crown Jewel of Fort Worth.
he hall plays host to performances ranging from classical ballet to classic rock.
So no matter what creative outlet moves you,
you can find it here.
JASON W.: Bass Performance Hall is recognized as one of the top five performance halls with acoustics in the world.
Any performance, whether it’s classical, orchestra, broadway,
everything sounds better here in this venue.
HOST: From international flavors to gorgeous architecture to
world-renowned works of art,
Fort Worth is pretty cultured after all.
JASON W.: We’ve got it all.
We’ve got the Western Heritage that you’d like to experience, but then you can experience culture and fine art as well.
HOST: And it’s waiting for you to discover it,
right here in Texas.
It’s like a whole other country.
