If you love
steak
, Fort Worth is for you. Meat here is hefty, fresh and prepared with tender loving care, especially in the Stockyards area, where the many good home-cooking cafA©s are frequented as much by cattle ranchers as by visitors. Mex and Tex-Mex tastes are well covered though vegetarians will do less well; try the upmarket restaurants downtown. The
cafA©
in the Kimbell Art Museum makes for a pleasant place to snack or eat lunch.
