I love my city of Fort Worth. One million people live here but still has that small town feel. And no..we are NOT Dallas. Fort Worth is a big Dog on its own. Respect for my Fort Worth.
A bit of correction regarding Kennedy in Fort Worth. While in Fort Worth, he did not "load up into the motorcade and head off toward Dallas" He flew from Carswell Air Force Base to Dallas Love field (13 minute flight) and then "loaded up into the motorcade" . . .
Cowtown funky town. I lived there for 3 years. Absolutely love Fort Worth my favorite spot stock yards. Since you toured magnolia District next time check out Paris coffee House best breakfast ever. The BBQ is to die for and don’t forget the steak.
Totally awesome men's. Thank you for putting Fort Worth Texas on the map. Keep being awesome. I live here in Fort Worth Texas. Mexican food and Barbecue is my favorite food
Fort Worth, my beautiful hometown. ❤ Thanks for featuring the arts scene, FW's best-kept secret! "Panther City" boasts several world-class art museums and a thriving community of independent artists. Not to mention the zoo, Stock Yards, restaurants, and so much more.
You could do a whole show on FtW food. I’ve watched you for years Chet and so happy to find you on UA-cam! You have slimmed down over the years but I don’t know how. I, too, am a food lover. Stay healthy so we can keep enjoying you!
So glad this came up on my feed. I used to watch it every weekend on our local Phoenix PBS station. We go to Northern Arizona for the summer, and their local station does not carry it. Love your show!
I grew up in what is now the entertainment/museum district in Fort Worth, behind the old Montgomery wards (monkey wards.) us kids would walk from there to West Van Zandt elementary school on the NW corner of Lancaster/university drive in the museum district. It’s a parking lot now. Gee if I’d known I was going to school in the museum district I’d have studied harder. lol. David Perkins AHHS ‘55.
I live in FtW and BBQ is my least favorite food that we have here. I’m an El Fenix devotee. Although Joe T’s has the best atmosphere. I also love Byblos if you want some Mediterranean food. Happy to see the FtW Zoo getting some love. It is amazing. Visitors should also go to the Japanese Gardens in the FtW Botanic Gardens. It’s a personal favorite.
Yep you done it again. Quality entertainment with a healthy slice of informative goodness sandwiched in. I can't help but wonder how it all came to be. The journey to day tripper greatness. The home town, family and friends. The guy from normal town heading to weird Austin amidst the rumors and warnings. Did you study broadcasting? Did you act in plays? How about your time in D.C.? Any other shows that you might have been involved with before day tripper. Right down to pitching the show or however the deal came about. All the places and people on the way would not only be a blast for us fans. It would also make a great travel episode for anyone. Chet abides. I take comfort in that. Knowing he's out there day trippin for all of us couch taters. From the gulf of Mexico to the panhandle and beyond...... Ah look at me I'm ramblin' again. I sure enjoyed my self. Catch you later on down the trail.
If you like blue and purple haired tree huggers. Smug Vegan patrons make me wanna eat ribs while looking through the window. It's COWTOWN NOT BROCCOLIBURG!!
4 people did drown in that water garden back in 2004. Nothing before that for the 30 years it was open though. They added something in the pool in the middle to keep people from being sucked down by the pump.
There's major history to those water gardens that were passed over which was a major tragedy related to your comment about no hand rails. The Kennedy memorial sits in the center of the infamous Hell's Half Acre which is where the Wild Bunch took their most famous photo. I wonder why out of all the wonderful BBQ places in Fort Worth you choose Panther's. You like Tex-Mex but no mention of Joe T Garcia's. There's no mention of Texas Christian University, Botanical Will Rogers coliseum and the annual Fort Worth stock show, Billy Bob's Texas the world's largest bar or the stockyard cattle drive in the Northside.
Panther City BBQ is better than Heim and unique to Fort Worth now that Heim is by Love Field. Spiral Diner burger is just bread for your bread! JK. There are also waaay better Tex-Mex spots than Joe T's (that's for tourists and margaritas) including several right down the street like La Playa Maya or El Asadero. A little something for everyone.
Many people don't realize that Fort Worth has moved from 13th to 12th most populous city in the United States. It is the 5th most populous city in the state of Texas. It is large in size -estimated to be 359 square miles. As of May 16, 2024, the population of Fort Worth, Texas was 978,468
More like 400 miles! And just hit one million people. And it will be the 11th largest city in America at the beginning on 2024 when they announce the new numbers! Fort worth growing fast !!
Spiral Diner is 100 percent vegan. They mentioned very briefly that the "cheese" was made from cashews. I'm not even vegan, and I enjoy the Spiral. Good food and funky atmosphere. (Almost like a little slice of Austin.) ;)
I'll sum it up nicely for anyone that doesn't wanna watch, as someone from Fort Worth: An amazing and very fun place to visit, but a BAD place to live unless you have a specific lifestyle and live in a certain corners of Fort Worth. Conversely, Houston is a BAD place to visit but fairly decent place to live is you pick the right sides. Pretty opposite of what people think.
I don't mind eating vegan food but there's some vegans that's not good enough for they want you to convert fully to only vegan food and that puts me off, vegan food tends to be drier so they compensate by flavoring the crap out of it, Ive had Vegan BBQ its too rich of a flavor gets overwhelming quick because its not real meat 🤷
I grew up here for 34 years, and Panther City is a long established nickname. Why do you think cops have panthers on their badges and there panther statues everywhere? Where did you think the Fort Worth Cats got their name from...?
You had me at Fort! Fort Worth born, raised and living here for 5.5 decades. Fut Wuth, I luv you
Same but only 5.1 decades. 😂
Same here 5.2 decades my self
Sounds like my nephew from Walnut, TX, he sez it the same way: Fut Wuth :p

This is the best video on Fort Worth that I’ve found! Thanks!
"Only 30 minutes west of Dallas" lmfao maybe at like 3am on a weekday
Right! Back in the day it was 30 minutes but nowadays with all the people coming in, you’d be lucky to get there in less than an hour
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 more like 3 hours of madness in traffic

Thanks for highlighting Ft Worth. I love it and I’m proud to say I’m from the suburbs around there.
I’m from Fort Worth, but I don’t live in the burbs , I live right here by magnolia where he recorded this video.
Born and raised
Mexique😮😊😋 sounds amazing 👏 Born n raised in Texas like Mrs. Bairds. Always needed but never breed. 😅

Was just watching “Logan’s Run” the other day. (Filmed at Water Gardens & other DFW locations)❤
Elote - Street Corn looks so delicious!❤
My hometown. But moved to Austin decades ago. I have heard this city has grown a lot.
It's grown a lot. With a lot of historic renovation. Fort Worth is doing great.
Fort Worth just hit 1 million people!!!
You have Black's BBQ in Austin
@@TheDaytripper Chet, been watching you since PBS. Love what you and the team do for the great state of Texas!
So glad this came up on my feed. I used to watch it every weekend on our local Phoenix PBS station. We go to Northern Arizona for the summer, and their local station does not carry it. Love your show!
I love this show. You guys crack me up. ❤❤❤❤
I'm away from my Fort Worth Home work'n...I miss it!! & The BBQ & Rodeo, Shop'n, etc!! 🤠🇺🇲
I've been waiting for this episode for SO long!!! I mean, I know you've 'tripped FW before, but it's been a good long while best I can recall.

Just moved to dfw area can’t wait to venture to Dallas and Ft Worth
So much to explore
family visited and we took them to panther city. they loved that brisket elote.
It's interesting seeing your own city showcased from an outside perspective.
Oh my gosh it is a beautiful town !!! We don’t have that vibe here in Fl !! Have to go to visit soon
Fort Worth Texas, Born and raised. They filmed the Sci fi movie Logans Run, at the Fort Worth water gardens.
From Fort Worth and I really enjoyed this. You earned a new subscriber just from this awesome video.
Welcome aboard!

6:07 😮 I live in Fort Worth and Have been here for 17 years and I haven’t seen almost anything that he showed 😅 that’s Sad
How cool- I stayed at the place that this movie was made at
I eat at Spiral Diner fairly often. The food is really good.
Agreed. And I'm far from Vegan
@@TheDaytripper I'm a reluctant vegan due to some health issues. But they make it easier.
If you like blue and purple haired tree huggers. Smug Vegan patrons make me wanna eat ribs while looking through the window. It's COWTOWN NOT BROCCOLIBURG!!
My reply got knocked off. What Nazis.
Panther City BBQ is great!
Agreed. Roar.

The 1976 movie,
Logan’s Run, filmed about 2:00 minutes of that movie in the Water Gardens
And a lot of it at the Hulen Mall
He said Dont tell your doctor!😂😂😂😂😂😂

A lot of that stuff is in our first trip to Fort Worth.
I’m pretty sure the restaurants pay to get featured on the show. So Chet is gonna love anything he eats from the restaurants featured.
@@MrSlingblade69 false. Nobody pays to be on the show. I pick my favorite restaurants which is why I love the food.
@@TheDaytripper thx for clearing that up.

Huh. I've lived in Dallas 53 years and never heard of Panther City. The things you learn on youtube. lol
its crazy that this channel should be in food network. the host, audio and visuals are too notch.
Born and raised here, several generations and kids were born and raised in FW.
Those nachos are delicious 😋!
I have to ask...does everyone get to eat or just salivate from afar?
Fort Worth It Lets go.
as in the words of the infamous FLO RIDA, WELCOME TO MY HOUSE!! 817
Great hood
Lived west of Ft Worth in Weatherford.
Great town...
7:39 _ WTF???? A stinkin COKE instead of a Dr. Pepper?
17:25 frank!
I went to school with him
Great artist
Gonna have to make a part 2. Bro didn’t even visit the stockyards or W 7th 😂 cool video though
This technically was Part 2. Our first episode was season 3 and will come out on our channel in a few months. We're releasing backwards.
Hey I’m taking today as the absolute greatest day of the entire year only is the 26th one
I’m taking today as the greatest day of the entire year for the 26th time
Water Park = Logan’s Run Movie. 70’s.
Pronto estaré🎉 por ahí
Hey I’m from London and i only know about Fort Worth because of the famous talented musician “Jace” also spelt as “Iayze” big shout out
How long did it take to cut around all the homeless people in the water garden?
I was thinking the same thing!

should have had some calf fries!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻✨🤠✨
Cheese is a dairy product from an animal. So the Vegan restaurant isn't true vegan. Am I right?
Spiral Diner is 100 percent vegan. They mentioned very briefly that the "cheese" was made from cashews. I'm not even vegan, and I enjoy the Spiral. Good food and funky atmosphere. (Almost like a little slice of Austin.) ;)
👍
I live in fort worth tx
Ask Steve Irwin about stingrays…
Too soon?
😯
Chet, like the show...but I gotta say, going to Fort Worth and not doing the "John Wayne Experience" is almost un-American.
You didn’t visit stop six.
@Steve Ludwig I lived in Stop-6 for 20 years and never got shot. Stop-6 is where the only Fort Worth Basketball Hofer, Bob Hughes, lives.
😂
I'll sum it up nicely for anyone that doesn't wanna watch, as someone from Fort Worth: An amazing and very fun place to visit, but a BAD place to live unless you have a specific lifestyle and live in a certain corners of Fort Worth. Conversely, Houston is a BAD place to visit but fairly decent place to live is you pick the right sides. Pretty opposite of what people think.
Fort Worth has a couple of the best steakhouses in Texas and you chose to eat vegan food? What is wrong with you Chet? I am disappointed.
Spiral is pretty good tho
Wait a tick. There are vegan restaurants in Texas? Learn something new every day but I will stick to steak with my potatoes 🥔
Spiral Diner is amazing. But I also love Del Frisco’s!
Hey he ate at panther city I think Texas bbq is more iconic here in FW than steakhouses
@@blaketaylor7317Goldie’s bbq
is the way to go.
some of the local businesses over there are over hype, in reality, they are just common place to see.
funky town .. my town.. best in the state.. fight me.
Cringe when people assume everyone from TX is cowboy attire.
girrafes needs more space..
Should have stopped into Martin House Brewery
Fort Worth is about Cattle, Stockyard's and Cowboys not vegan sandwich"s. You totally missed it.
You missed our first trip to Fort Worth. This was a follow up to show more than just the stereotypes
@@TheDaytripper my apologies, I will go back and watch that.
Fort Worth is more than just Texas steotypyes, dude...
@@29Texan "Dude" really lol. so your at the bottom, well "Dude" good luck
@@LBoss222 "you're"
And I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I actually live and grew up here... I said what I said.
I don't mind eating vegan food but there's some vegans that's not good enough for they want you to convert fully to only vegan food and that puts me off, vegan food tends to be drier so they compensate by flavoring the crap out of it, Ive had Vegan BBQ its too rich of a flavor gets overwhelming quick because its not real meat 🤷
Opening scene is the park I got married in
ziop
What is this?! I’m from there no one’s called it panther city?! The nickname called Funky Town! All the washed up history you drop?
I grew up here for 34 years, and Panther City is a long established nickname.
Why do you think cops have panthers on their badges and there panther statues everywhere? Where did you think the Fort Worth Cats got their name from...?
I'm say that that vegan place the cheese is not good, if you like true cheese this will not it for you.
Melts is overrated & overpriced
Learned from this video that Ft Worth isn't worth, unless ya into unhealthy food. Meh. It's wrong.
You lost me at the vegan place
Great video Chet, i been in fort worth since i was 6. And i neber some of these places existed.
Dont go to Dallas it stinks there lol
