"Chef Tim Love is one of the stalwarts of the Fort Worth food scene, and his restaurant Lonesome Dove celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. When it opened, there was no fine dining in the Fort Worth Stockyards, and Lonesome Dove’s success wasn’t guaranteed. Now, it’s the go-to place for a plate of wild game (and that could be anything from boar to kangaroo), a night of shots and whiskey cocktails, or a dinner in the wine cellar with a menu specially prepared by Love. The rustic interiors and decor embrace the spirit of the Stockyards, and dressing up in your cowboy boots and hat is encouraged." - Courtney E. Smith
