    Can you order carry out to be picked up and taken away! Lets do like we did at Burnt Bean and get Briskie, Ribs, vote on how much sliced turkey. snausages and decide on sides.
    I like the idea of going back to the room to eat. How far is the drive?

      Or we get there earlier and deal with the wait. Don’t people line up at snows super early?

      I’m thinking 9am would be better. Better yet, we have WI Bubba get there at 8 and hold us a place in line, then the rest of us just show up at 10:55……..🤓

      Panhead John You should wait until 11:15 to arrive so I have time to get the food and have it on the table waiting for you.

    On Monday I’m going to make us reservations at Mariano’s Mexican Restaurant for Thursday dinner, probably for 6:45. If anyone that’s attending the MeatUp, whether staying at the hotel or not, is NOT going to make the Thursday dinner, can you please let me know here? I’m assuming texastweeter won’t make it because they’re coming in Friday? Is that right Adam? So if you’re NOT going, please let us know. Thanks!

      Mariano invented the original frozen margarita machine and in celebration, I will have at least one at dinner on Thursday!

      BTW, his original machine is now at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History

    BREAKING NEWS! I just made our reservations for Mariano’s for Thursday at 6:00 pm. They had nothing else available later than that. I hope everyone is ok with it, but that’s the only time slot they had available that night for a group of our size.

      I was just poking around and we are going to the Arlington location, right? I did a search and it took me to north Dallas way up Central expressway!

      Correct. There’s several locations but it’s the one in Arlington.

    Thursday Tex-Mex
    Friday Goldee’s

    where else? I was just talking to my sister and giving her options to join us. Their really good friends have a bbq place in caddo mills….its a drive, though, huh?

    Edit: I just looked up caddo mills. The 10 is the worst!!! Skip it.

      I believe PJ was contacting Meat Church to see if and when Matt would be there. If we go on Saturday, I think there is free beer...the Original Fort Worth Craft Beer, aka Miller Lite as Matt pitman calls it. I'll go anytime.

      I was searching co-ops and saw one near hurtados. Additionally, there’s a Saturday farmers market à block from hurtados, too.

    FYI for those coming to the MeatUp this Thursday weather forecast for DFW: Texas BBQ is great in any weather!

    No rain in the forecast due to the drought. BTW, there is no BBQ drought in Texas-

      MORE STUPID BREAKING NEWS! 😎 I noticed SheilaAnn mentioned her sister in DFW and CaptainMike having a friend in Dallas they were going to hook up with. Mike and Sheila, will they be joining us for the Thursday night dinner? I’ve made reservations for everyone on the attendance roster but not any extras….16 total so far. Could you please let me know if they’ll be joining us so I can let the restaurant know? If anyone on the attendance roster is bringing a guest [not on the roster] for the THURSDAY NIGHT DINNER, can you please let me know? Thanks

      Also, I’m going to start a new MeatUp post tomorrow since we’ll be having some people arriving then. Carry on!

        She will not join us Thursday night. They work and it’s too much traffic for a 6pm seating. Her and her husband are on standby for remaining plans.

      Meat Church Visit:
      This Saturday is the 25th Crossroads of Texas Country Music festival in Waxahatchie. It is the largest one day arts, music, and food festival in the state of Texas !

      Mark your calendars for the Crossroads of Texas GO TEXAN Country Festival. This arts and music festival will take place in downtown Waxahachie on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Admission is FREE.


      It may be fun but very crowded. Maybe we go on Friday? Panhead John this may be why Meat Church has not contacted you.

      FYI jayjordan SheilaAnn

        Thanks for that Bill! Yeah, I definitely think we should go Friday. I think most of us would rather not fight the crowds.

      Wednesday arrivers...how about we get together for dinner. Not Mexi or BBQ since we'll get our fill of that later. Seafood, Asian, whatever.............. Any locals that have a favorite selection would be welcome.
