As many of you have noticed, the Daily Grind closed down a couple of months ago. From what I’ve heard, while the business was doing well, the owner decided to focus on other things. The space is now being transformed by its new owners into “Fat Dawg’s”, a neighborhood hangout that will serve a full menu and have a full bar along with pool tables, darts and flat-screen TV’s throughout. In addition, pending approval by the City of Forney, the new owners hope to add a patio to the front of the restaurant, and have a lot of exciting plans. For more information, and to stay up to date with the progress on the construction, check out Fat Dawg’s MySpace page. I’ll also post updates here and to the Forney Discussion Forums from time to time.

Oh, and rumors have been going around that the name of the restaurant will be “Fat Dawg’s Backyard Bar”, however, the owner has confirmed that the name will simply be “Fat Dawg’s”. If you aren’t familiar with where the Daily Grind was, it’s at 121 E Hwy 80 in Forney.

Stay tuned, I hope to announce the winner of the first Forney’s Most Wanted over the weekend! In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great afternoon - only a few more hours until the weekend.
