well, if you have to be in FW here are a few local places to eat. This is building off a post I made a few years ago.

within reasonable distance of the Coliseum:

Wu's - nicer local chinese restaurant with very good back menu.
Shigs in Pit - BBQ place about 5-10 minutes away.  Owned by a local microbrewery so they have their own beer on tap. reasonably priced.
Cork and Clever - steakhouse close to the coliseum with a good salad bar
Casa's - local italian chain across the street from the coliseum. nothing spectacular but good food and reasonably priced.
Baker Street- nicer restaurant with steaks and seafood close to the coliseum.
Burger Fi - Good burger place that also serves beer. reasonably price.
cebollas - mexican, fast service, reasonably price, close to the arena, my favorite salsa
liberty diner - my favorite breakfast place.  on the west side of coliseum blvd.



Dupont Rd area north of coliseum:
Black Canyon - nicer restaurant with quality food.
lucky moose - pub feel with a good variety. reasonably priced.
wings etc. - a little farther north on dupont rd, reasonably price with good wings and a full bar style menu
Ted's Beerhall – 30 microbrews on tap. Food. There is a "beercade" in the basement.
Nori – Asian Fusion/Sushi – I am not as sushi person so I have not eaten here but it gets very high review from people I talk to.
cebollas - mexican, fast service, reasonably price, close to the arena, my favorite salsa

Southwest FW:
Catablu - one of my favorites in town. nicer restaurant. they also usually have good items for special diets.
Eddie Merlot's - higher end steak house.  this is a chain but it is the original.
Chops – steakhouse with a wine bar
Umi Grill – higher end Japanese restaurant

donuts:
tom's donuts - south of the coliseum
rise and roll - north of the coliseum on dupont rd.  amish made donuts.  they are a little sweet for me but very popular.
Leo Donuts - Northeast of end of dupont rd almost out of town.

Unfortunately I will be out of town as my son has a U14 soccer tournament. :(

just a follow up to hope convert's post.

Today the guys on these teams care about these games.  they don't care about them for banners or rings or trophies.  they care about it for a few more practices, and one more game doing what they love to do.  They care about getting one more chance to beat the man in front of them.  They care about one more chance for the sound, smell, and feel of a game.  Above all they care about the chance to take the floor one more time with their team.  The people that they have spent months with for one common purpose, and they would do anything for.  Because when its over its over, and these teams will never exist again exactly as they do today.
