Searching for a quaint, French inspired meal. Well, Fat Calf Brasserie is your place. Like all the great places, they started out serving from a food trailer at Red River Brewery. Now they have a beautiful historic home. Parking can be a bit intimidating, so be careful pulling into the parking lot if the place looks busy. Just up the hill about two blocks is a park with a parking lot.
