We think it is safe to say, we absolutely loved this event.
Let’s see. Exquisite food, good drinks, great music, and an incredible atmosphere at the Glass Cactus made for a great party to raise money for a great cause. All the proceeds from the annual Taste of the NFL event went to the North Texas Food Bank.

There were all kinds of sports memorabilia and other goodies up for silent auction. It looked like Tiffany’s had set up camp with stacks of those little blue boxes all along one wall. We were most interested in the guitar signed by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, but unfortunately our wallet did not open quite wide enough to get it.
On hand were a number of current and former Dallas Cowboys. In addition to Marcus Spears, DeMarcus Ware, and Preston Pearson, we personally saw Jay Novacek, Russell Maryland, Charles Haley, Big Nate Newton, Deon Anderson, Daryl Johnston, Tony Casillas, and probably many others we did not see or are forgetting. They announced there were 40 plus Super Bowls represented.
Did we also mention there were Cowboys Cheerleaders at the event? Okay, maybe you saw the photo above.
The food pretty much stole the show in our opinion. Anything you could possibly want was there from 25 of the areas best chefs/restaurants. We loved what Del Frisco’s served up as well as the huge shrimp that Nick and Sam’s had upstairs. You can see the full list of restaurants here.
The weather on the patio at the Glass Cactus was spectacular. We were honestly blown away by the entire event.
Please mark your calendars for this next year. This is a special event that supports a great cause.

I’ve been a Cowboys fan since 2000!!!It’s been a crazy 10 years. We’ve definitely seen the highs and lows of this team. I used to attend their games .Last time we got my Dallas Cowboys Tickets through Ticketsinventory.com for $15 they have some type of deals. What can I say, my love for this team has only gotten stronger and everything that love is supposes to mean! I cannot wait for this upcoming season.
