Heard of Hot Box Biscuit Club? They’re the folks behind those pop-up brunches around town that sell-out in minutes. But no reservations are needed for their appearance at Wild Acre Brewing Company this Thursday, where they’ll be selling their creations during a Star Wars movie release party.

The week’s events don’t end there. Cannon Chinese Kitchen marks three years with a party, Café Modern will have a patio fiesta, and there’ll be an awards dinner at Magdalena’s, as well as a cooking class with culinary icons at Central Market. Memorial Day weekend ends with a Texas-themed dinner, acoustic concert, and breakfast at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel.
