Katrina & Co.—Fort Worth’s Fizziest Duo

Let’s raise a glass (or a dirty soda!) to Katrina and her husband, the dynamic duo behind one of Fort Worth’s most fun and flavorful drink businesses. You’ll spot them at farmers markets, weddings, and private events all over town, shaking up custom dirty sodas and energy drinks that have the foodie community buzzing.

But Katrina & Co. aren’t just about sodas—they bring the party with full-service mobile bartending, offering everything from classic cocktails to mocktails and, soon, “loaded waters” for when you need a little extra pep in your step. What really sets them apart? Their warmth and hospitality. Sherry K. raved about meeting them at the Burleson Carnival, calling them “super friendly” and loving their dirty sodas. Marisa H. can’t get enough of their energy drinks, and Katrina’s always quick to respond to requests for party info or custom packages.

Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a backyard BBQ, or just want to add some sparkle to your next event, Katrina & Co. are ready to bring the fizz, flavor, and fun—straight to you. Cheers to local love and creative sips!

Sweet Lucy’s Pies: “Summer on a Spoon”

Fay V. had her world rocked by Sweet Lucy’s Pies, calling their peaches and cream pie “SO GOOD” and “almost too pretty to eat.” The crust? “Flaky perfection.” Fellow foodies chimed in, raving about everything from the strawberry margarita pie to coconut and squash slices. Melissa B. even served these pies at her wedding! If you haven’t been, this is the pie shop you didn’t know you needed. Want to see what all the fuss is about? Read the post.

Cafecito: Magnolia’s Mexican Brunch Gem

Omar ST. shared his first visit to Cafecito on Magnolia Ave, where a packed house signaled good things ahead. He ordered the chilaquiles—“full on authentic flavor,” with barbacoa that “tastes just like in Mexico.” The comments are a love letter to their tortillas, coffee, and Mazapán latte. Pro tip: the green salsa and café de olla are musts. Alexandra B., the manager, even popped in to say thanks! Tempted? See Omar’s full review and join the brunch buzz.

Pizza Verde + The Kava Bar: Healthy Living, Fort Worth Style

Connie B. spent the day at Pizza Verde, pairing a healthy slice with a unique beverage from The Kava Bar on Locke Ave. She’s now hooked on kava after just one week! Rudy G. calls it the “BEST pizza,” and the thread is full of locals loving this plant-based spot. Curious about kava or vegan pizza? Peek at Connie’s post and join the plant-based convo.

Panther City BBQ: Brisket Elotes & More

Bob M. had a “heckuva lunch” at Panther City BBQ, diving into brisket elotes, a twerkie, and Nutter Butter cheesecake pudding. The comments are pure BBQ joy—Adam S. wants a full cup of brisket elotes, and Celia V.G. says Panther City is “home of the original Brisket Elote.” If you haven’t tried their twerkie (yes, that’s a thing), you’re missing out. See Bob’s lunch lineup and BBQ fan reactions.

Cheba Hut: Sub Sandwiches That’ll Blow Your Mind

Evan G. finally tried Cheba Hut and declared it “one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever blessed my taste buds with.” The Pakalolo sandwich and fruity krispy bar got top marks, and the comments are a lovefest for everything from the White Widow to Kool-Aid on tap. Laura Y. is on the Blue Raspberry Lemonade gang, and Paige P. swears by the peanut butter rice crispie ball. Want to see what all the hype is about? Check out Evan’s post and get in on the Cheba Hut obsession.
