Museum of Electronic Wonders & Late Night Grilled Cheese Parlour
Museum of Electronic Wonders & Late Night Grilled Cheese Parlour
An offshoot of the revered Food Shark, the brilliant yet bizarre Museum of Electronic Wonders and Late Night Grilled Cheese Parlour is a Marfa must-see. As the name suggests, the Museum of Electronic Wonders and Late Night Grilled Cheese Parlour offers patrons the chance to ingest juicy grilled cheese dishes. You can do this while being surrounded by all manner of electronic wonder; a potent combination. Mini monitors display pieces of art created by Food Shark’s owner, Adam Bork. The menu includes items such as the Gruyére cheese grill, with sweet potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. For the hungriest of visitants, the ‘Motherf**ker’ dish should suffice; a sandwich complied from one of everything from the menu in ‘ONE GIANT sandwich’.

Planet Marfa
Planet Marfa
Enjoy the stimulating West Texan air at Planet Marfa, ‘when ‘the best’ is being outside’. True to its motto, Planet Marfa has an extravagantly styled beer patio, or the ‘beer garden oasis’. It consists of earthy wooden chairs, sturdy tables, cozy chimineas and even an enormous tepee erected over a large pit. Enjoy some cool beer while listening to one of the many musical acts that Planet Marfa’s bandstand has to offer. Planet Marfa’s has become famous for its crunchy and handsomely garnished nachos. It’s also known for owner Aase’s hearty rice and bean burrito. After reclining in the shade with a tall beverage, peruse the eclectic items in Planet Marfa’s shop that have been handpicked by Aase himself.
