Parker County peaches are here, but where? Fort Worth market-barbecue stand is closed
Ridgmar Farmers Market & BBQ closed
Hey, Bud! Where do we get Parker County peaches now that Ridgmar Farmers Market is closed?
—Louise, Fort Worth
This was news to me, but the Hutton family’s Ridgmar produce market and former Cowtown BBQ restaurant at 900 Texas 183 in White Settlement closed last month after 22 years under various operators.
Look for Parker County peaches at Weatherford Farmers Market. 217 Fort Worth Highway, or in Fort Worth at Sayers Fort Worth Farmers Market, 5507 E. Belknap St. in Haltom City.
H3 Ranch restaurant remodeling in Fort Worth
Hey, Bud! What happened to Hunter Brothers H3 Ranch Steakhouse?
—Stockyards regular
H3 Ranch, 101 E. Exchange Ave., is taking a couple of months off for updates now that it and the Stockyards Hotel belong to the nearby Drover.
If you miss the food, it’s similar at Lucile’s, 4700 Camp Bowie Blvd. (In the Stockyards, it’s a good time to try the new ownership at the Star Cafe or check out the Brand Room.)

Cackle & Oink barbecue in Sherman ranks No. 1
Hey, Bud! I saw a website said the best barbecue in the U.S. is at Cackle & Oink BBQ in Sherman. Can that be right?
—Message to facebook.com/diningguy
A guy from St. Louis wrote an article for St. Louis-based TravelAwaits.com. It ranked Cackle & Oink as No. 1 in the country. Cackle & Oink, 3210 Texoma Pakrway, is known for spicy baby-back ribs like in St. Louis.
So there ya go. (It’s popular, just not the same way as Hill Country barbecue.)
