It’s a week of decadent indulgences – think truffles, wild game, Wagyu steak, whiskey, and not one but two chocolate and wine pairing events. (One comes with a museum tour.) This week also brings the return of a long-lost Fort Worth chef known for his stellar chicken fried steak. On Friday, a popular supper club will make a rare appearance at a local whiskey distillery for a multi-course dinner that’s bucket-list worthy. Yellowstone fans won't want to miss the chance to meet one of the show's stars, just a jaunt out of town.
