The Love Shack


Well, we made it to the Love Shack, and had Dirty Love on Father's Day-----the Dirty Love burger that is! The Love Shack is the new burger joint by chef Tim Love in the Ft. Worth Stockyards. It was recently named one of the top new restaurants in Conde Nast's Traveler magazine, and reviews in the Ft. Worth Star and Dallas Morning Newspapers called their burgers "quite possibly the most perfect burger on the planet." The Love Shack is located in a cool, step down courtyard right in the middle of the Stockyards, and we enjoyed live music by a local solo artist while we chowed down on this incredibly yummy food. Our burger, the Dirty Love burger, had bacon, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, love sauce, and a fried quail egg on top. The burgers are made fresh daily from a 50/50 combo of prime tenderloin and beef brisket and are thick and juicy. The love sauce and fried quail egg add an extra kick! We also had the love shack fries, which are homemade, sliced thin, and fried in trans-fat free oil. They are delicious! The Crazy Good onion rings are just that---crazy good, and the fresh squeezed lemonade and homemade rootbeer are perfect for washing it all down on a warm summer afternoon. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and we hung out for a while listening to the music and enjoying the cool courtyard. I can't wait to go back!!!
