Fort Worth restaurants are offering discounts to shutdown-affected government employees
A few Fort Worth-area restaurants are offering deals to federal-government employees affected by the government shutdown, and the list is likely to grow. Right now, it’s small, but this is what we know about.
Fort Brewery & Pizza: The West Magnolia Avenue brewpub/pizza parlor is offering a free full or individual-size pizza (excluding the special H-Bomb Pizza) along with non-alcoholic drinks to government employees and their families until the shutdown ends. Dine-in only. 1001 W. Magnolia Ave., 817-923-8000, https://www.fortbrewery.com/
Great Harvest Bread Co.: The West Magnolia Avenue bakery/sandwich shop is offering a free loaf of bread from a “Shutdown Shelf” to federal employees who show ID. 1305 W. Magnolia Ave., Fort Worth, 682-708-7228.
Knife Burger: Dallas chef John Tesar’s burger joint, which recently opened a location in the Food Hall at Crockett Row, will start offering $1 Ozersky burgers on Jan. 18 to government employees who show ID. The burger, named for the late food writer Josh Ozersky, a longtime friend of Tesar, consists of a 5-ounce 44 Farms beef patty, thinly sliced red onions, a slice of American cheese and a “squishy” white bun. Sounds simple till you taste it and your eyes roll into the back of your head because it’s so good. The deal is only at the Food Hall at Crockett Row, 3000 Crockett St. in Fort Worth, and at the Knife Burger at the Shops at Willow Bend, 6121 W. Park Blvd. in Plano. https://www.knifeburgers.com
