Actor Matt LeBlanc, known on TV as the goofy Friends character Joey Tribbiani, stopped into Joe T. Garcia’s in Fort Worth in late August 2023.
LeBlanc was visiting North Texas for a friend’s wedding, reports Elliott Lancarte, one of several family members involved in Joe T. Garcia’s.
Joe T.’s is one of D-FW’s oldest restaurants and one of Texas’ most historic Tex-Mex joints, dating back to 1935. It’s still owned and operated by the family that started it.
Lancarte says LeBlanc ate combo fajitas — beef and chicken — and cheese enchiladas. The actor told members of the Lancarte family he’d like to come back to restaurant soon and that he loved the patio.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that actor Ethan Hawke also visited Joe T.’s this year, in March 2023.
In other recent celebrity food news, soccer player David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham visited Blu’s Barbeque in Far North Dallas in early August 2023.
The restaurant posted about LeBlanc’s Fort Worth visit on Facebook. “You never know who you might see at Joe T’s! We love our FRIENDS!” it reads.
