went to Woodshed Smokehouse in Ft Worth for lunch with my buddy and our wives and upon arrival was told it would be a 1.5-2 hr wait
over a couple of beers, convinced the group we needed to get the beef shin and some apps when we got a table
so we got grilled quail with wood-braised spelt and smoked artichikes (is actually an entree but we wanted quail damnit), camp bread & crispy potatoes with a smoked garlic aioli as apps
we went ahead and got texas punch (port wine, sprite and fruit) and enjoyed our patio seats and the sun and waited for our beef shin
they smoke this thing for 16 hrs and serve it with fresh ricotta, chile, smoked oil borracho beans, tortillas and a 3 kale salad
i proceeded to get drunk by the time the food arrived and took a crappy pic that did not capture the full greatness of the beef shin so I'll give you my pic and a pic from dallasnews.com
couple of things, yes that is a dog in the pic as they allow pets in the outdoor dining and the staff even bring out water bowls
also, we finished eating at 3:30 and the thought of more food hasn't even crossed my mind yet
next if you go there to try it, take some friends and get one of the 4 feasts such as this
lastly, my only regret is not going ahead and getting the sausage special of the day which was a rabbit & rattlesnake blend
