Eating lunch out on Christmas Day in Fort Worth it was an adventure [View all]

So our big family gathering did not happen this year, and Mr YD and I made plans to have lunch out with his sister and a friend.

Checked a list of open places, and a number of them were very expensive dinners at places like Del Frisco's, Ruth's Chris, Worthington Hotel Buffet.

Innocently we went to Ol' South Pancake House, which never closes. There was a 2 hour wait.

Then we tried IHOP which we thought would be open. A few phone calls revealed they were closed.

Saltgrass steakhouses were open but closed at 2.

So we were driving down Hulen street, because we knew the Denny's (YUCK) at Hulen and I-20 was open. We passed Boston Market and Lo and Behold! they were Open! We went there and had a nice lunch. My friend had never eaten there. It was tasty. I have always liked their food, and the creamed spinach was as good as ever.

Later I found out there were some places that were opening at 5 pm.

If we do this again, there will be much phone calling.
