What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Lonesome Dove Western Bistro is chef Tim Love's flagship restaurant in Fort Worth's Historic Stockyards District, a Western-game and wood-fired grill menu that lines up with the show's 'Grilled' episode (S3E1) theme. Love opened the restaurant in 2000 and built its reputation on elevated ranch-country cooking — grilled and smoked meats served in a converted Stockyards building — that has since earned it recurring Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence. According to the restaurant's own website, Lonesome Dove currently lists lunch service Friday and Saturday and dinner service every night of the week, with recently updated site photography. An OpenTable listing for the Fort Worth address shows a 2026 update with current reservation availability, according to OpenTable, consistent with an actively operating restaurant rather than a closed one.
