Sam Elliott dining at Joe T. Garcia’s in Fort Worth

Last week, the iconic Mexican restaurant Joe T. Garcia’s in Fort Worth had a special visitor – none other than legendary actor Sam Elliott! Known for its celebrity sightings, Joe T’s patio was graced by the presence of the 80-year-old actor, who was spotted hugging Zurella Lancarte, a relative of the eatery’s founding family. The restaurant even shared a photo of the heartwarming moment on Instagram with the caption “You never know who you might run into at Joe T’s”.

Famous personalities like Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, and Elvis Presley have all dined at Joe T’s over the years, adding to its star-studded legacy. And it seems like the trend continues, as last week, Billy Bob Thornton announced that Sam Elliott would be joining the cast of season 2 of Landman, a Texas oil drama created by Taylor Sheridan and available on Paramount+.

Based on Christian Wallace’s Texas Monthly podcast Boomtown, Landman delves into the West Texas oil industry and how the Permian Basin oil boom shaped the region’s culture and politics. In addition to Sam Elliott, other stars like Demi Moore and Jon Hamm are set to grace the show with their talent. Filmed in Fort Worth, the debut season of Landman featured various iconic locations like the Petroleum Club and the Hotel Drover in the Stockyards. So, keep your eyes peeled for more exciting developments in this captivating Texas drama!
