Foodways Texas: Fort Worth

Jonathan Savell demonstrates the whisky drinking rituals of the early cowboys at Nick Nickelson’s chuckwagon during the Foodways Texas Charreada on Sunday. The event was a sellout with over 300 people in attendance. There were five chuckwagons and a host of cowboy cooks demonstrating various traditional cooking techniques. Dutch oven sourdough biscuits and cobblers were available for tasting along with some excellent grilled tenderloin. A mariachi band and two country music groups took turns performing and a host of Fort Worth restaurants put out the spread. Rahr beer was much in evidence.

The event raised money and spread the word about Foodways Texas. For more information, check out the website at FoodwaysTexas.com
