The Tiny Town Near Dallas – Fort Worth With The Most Scrumdiddilyumptious Restaurants

If you haven't visited the quaint town of Decatur then you're overdue for a delightful day!Decatur boasts of a "Pink Lady" and bears the slogan of "Eighter from Decatur"— The Pink Lady refers to the majestic Wise County Courthouse on the square made of Texas pink granite and the slogan comes from a turn-of-the-century story about a craps shooter who would say, "Ada from Decatur, county seat of Wise" before rolling his dice. That's all well and good, but you should REALLY come visit this small town for its Southern-style home cooking!
