Members of the crew and cast of the popular series “Yellowstone” are often spotted wandering around the Fort Worth Stockyards, where a portion of filming has taken place.
This could just be the fuel behind rumors circulating on Reddit about producer Taylor Sheridan’s potential acquisition of the iconic Joe T. Garcia’s restaurant located just blocks away. Alternatively, it might indeed be in the works.
According to the Fort Worth Report, one insider familiar with the deal said Sheridan has gone as far as putting together a purchasing group. Sheridan did not respond to the news organization’s inquiries about the possible sale.
A member of the Lancarte Family, who have owned the renowned Tex-Mex restaurant for several generations, gave a vague response to inquiries. According to a spokeswoman for the business, they stated that “nothing has happened, so there is nothing to say.”
Taylor Sheridan’s ties to Fort Worth, Texas
Native to Fort Worth, Sheridan has increasingly built a presence in Texas, and particularly his home of Dallas-Fort Worth, in recent years.
In March 2022, Sheridan was on the buying end of one of the most significant ranch purchases in U.S. history, when he purchased the iconic 6666ยฎ Ranch in Guthrie, marking the 266,000-acre property’s first-ever purchase since its founding in 1870.
Sheridan, along with several partners, also acquired the Cattlemen’s Steak House in Downtown Fort Worth in 2023.
Along with his recent acquisitions, the producer has filmed several scenes of various series in Fort Worth, bringing several celebrities to the area, including Billy Bob Thornton and Sam Elliott.
