Triple D - Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

If you've read our blog before you know that we like to watch Triple D with Guy Fieri. And we also like to visit those places that have been on the show. We've been to one in Gilbert AZ, Knoxville TN, Marietta GA and now Fort Worth TX. Today's place was a little unusual. We pulled up and almost didn't get out because it was a little sketchy looking. The restaurant, which is Chef Point Cafe, is located in a Conoco gas station. Let me be clear this is not a gas station converted into a restaurant but the restaurant is located inside a working gas station! You wait to be seated next to the candy counter. We sat right in front of the beverage cooler. People come in a pay for gas and cigarettes while you are eating! Ok for some of you this may sound normal but the type of food we ate in this place was anything but normal. It was some of the best food we have ever eaten. Seriously - their slogan is "5 star food in a gas station!" Oh my gosh it was soooo good! We had lobster bisque and stuffed pork chop with crab meat in the best creamy sauce I've ever eaten! Plus two appetizers and bread pudding with a cognac sauce for dessert! I know, I know that is a lot of food for just two and it was but we couldn't help ourselves. It's almost embarrassing telling you all about it but oh my it was so good. Who cares! So if you are in Fort Worth you have to check out Chef Point Cafe. It is so good! It was so good that they had people lined up waiting to get a table!
