Dutch ovens, the bane of Girl Scouts and pioneer women alike, are impossible heaps of cast iron that turn reasonable cooking times into sweaty marathons of fire-tending hell. But maybe you're weird. Maybe four-hour dump cake is your kind of bag. Maybe you like risking heat exhaustion in the name of fire-cooked ground beef. Maybe you, my 19th century food preparation-loving friend, should attend a fire pit cooking class. Held at the Log Cabin Village in Fort Worth, the class includes general village admission, a meal (prepared by you and your fellow homesteaders) and recipes to take home. The cost is $25 per person.

You're a Texan, so we're just going to go out on a limb and say that the only thing you like better than a bowl of chili is a succession of chili bowls. The Granada Theater will host a chili cook-off in which the likes of Oliver Stirin (Blind Butcher), Troy Gardner (V-Eats Modern Vegan), Patton Robertson (Cafe Momentum) and Jason West (Sunday at Granada) showcase their version of this quintessentially autumnal meal. All the while two outside stages will host Americana and Texas country acts. Charlie Robison, Mike McClure Band, Slobberbone and The Roomsounds are among the slated acts. Tickets start at $15.
