"Landman" Cast Discovers Food Exists in Fort Worth, Demands Medal

Hollywood descends upon Fort Worth, bestowing upon us peasants the sacred knowledge of where to eat—because clearly, we were lost without them.

Oh, joy. Another riveting piece about where the rich and famous deign to eat while slumming it in Fort Worth for their little TV show. Because nothing screams "authentic local experience" like a cast of Hollywood elites telling us plebeians where to find the real Tex-Mex—as if we haven’t been drowning in queso since birth.

Let’s start with B&B Butchers, a "great little steakhouse" according to James Jordan, who plays Dale Bradley. Ah yes, nothing says "I’m one of the people" like dropping $200 on a ribeye in Clearfork. And how quaint that he and his fiancé are gracing Hotel Drover with their presence for Thanksgiving. Truly, the sacrifices these actors make for art are staggering.

Then there’s Paloma Suerte, the Tex-Mex spot that’s finally put Fort Worth on the map. Move over, generations of abuelas perfecting family recipes—Hollywood has arrived to validate your existence. And let’s not forget Joe T. Garcia’s, because nothing says "I did my research" like name-dropping the most tourist-trappy margarita factory in town.

But the real kicker? Billy Bob Thornton declaring Fort Worth his "home." Sure, Billy Bob. We believe you. Just like we believe every celebrity who buys a ranch and suddenly becomes a "local." Next thing you know, he’ll be wearing a cowboy hat unironically and complaining about the traffic on 35.

So, if you’re looking to eat where the Landman cast ate, prepare to open your wallet and your ego. Because nothing tastes better than overpriced food with a side of Hollywood condescension. Bon appétit, y’all.
