Happy Thursday,

Earlier this year, I got to savor new flavors from the city’s top rising chefs when I attended the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival at Heart of the Ranch at Clearfork. I walked away with a deep appreciation for lamb — shoutout Emilia’s for their tasty fresh pita topped with spiced meat. 

Although the festival’s big return is months out, the Fort Worth Food + Wine Foundation is embarking on a culinary journey under the stars with the return of its Night Market tonight.

Proceeds from the event will go to FWFWF’s scholarship and grant programs, and attendees will also get first access to tickets for the 2026 event. Find out which chefs will be making an appearance below!
