History

The chuckwagon was invented in 1866 by Charles Goodnight. Carl Hawkins, your host for this special evening, had the good fortune to work for a direct descendant, Thomas Goodnight, not as a cook, but as a cowboy. While Mr. Goodnight taught him how to put together a good herd of cattle and recognize a quality horse for its merits, his career as a chuckwagon cook is due to the encouragement of his well fed family and friends.

Menu

Carl will create for you the atmosphere of a trail camp with a taste of the old west featuring chopped, smoked beef brisket, cheese enchiladas, sweet/hot baked beans, buttermilk fruit and cabbage slaw, homemade chili biscuits and Dutch oven fruit cobbler!

Weekend Activities

Join in for a fun and historic dinner adventure! And be sure to attend the week-end festival following this dinner, “Adventures in Territorial New Mexico,” Saturday and Sunday, August 19th and 20th.  Carl will be here all weekend making his world famous chili biscuits the old fashioned way.
