Since I live in the DFW area, I found this interesting article in the April 2010 issue of Southern Living regarding our famous authentic Mexican restaurant, Joe T. Garcia's, located in Ft. Worth, Texas. It is a family-owned restaurant (Garcia-Lancarte) in business for 75 years. Here are some interesting stats on the restaurant:
1,300
number of seats
550
gallons of salsa made and served in a week
275
pounds of refried beans served in a day
1,500
number of family-style dinners served on a typical Saturday
1935
year opened on the 4th of July
1998
year won the coveted James Beard Foundation Award for America's Classics
2,000
pounds of Cheddar cheese used every week
18,000
number of tortillas hand-rolled per week
If you have never been to Joe T's - it's time to experience this iconic Ft. Worth establishment!
