The ideal time to find your new favorite chef or restaurant is quickly approaching.
The Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival returns March 30 through April 2 and has quite the lineup. Now in its ninth year, the celebration has become increasingly popular. Some events are sold out, but the tickets that do remain can be purchased at the festival’s website.
Among the newcomers to the festival are Jalen Heard, Lane Milne and Jonny White, of Goldee’s Barbecue, who were collectively nominated earlier this year for James Beard Awards. This may be the newcomers’ first appearance at the festival, but they’re no amateurs. Each had previous experience working in the industry prior to Goldee’s, which was honored in 2021 by Texas Monthly as the best barbecue joint in the state.
