Inside a campy dinner theater known for over-the-top revelry and clashing swords, Rick Grimes found something profound.
The falconer walks through the empty castle, which is dim aside from the neon blue and green of the frozen drink machines behind the bar. At a small room near the entryway, he punches in a security code, and when he opens the door, the silence is punctured by robust squawking, like dogs barking when their owner comes home. The falconer speaks in a calm, gentle voice. “That’s right, pumpkin,” he says.
In 1997, the chain’s California and Florida franchises ran afoul of the IRS and filed for bankruptcy. It would not have been too surprising if the kitschy spectacle had been left in the late 20th century, along with Beanie Babies and Blockbuster Video. Instead, Medieval Times regrouped and moved its headquarters from Anaheim to Irving, where it has proven quite resilient. There are 10 castles in North America, and the Dallas location is the second-most popular, behind California’s.
In a small work room off the patio, he weighs the birds before each flight. He built a perch of PVC piping with an astroturf mat, good for their feet, that he slides over a digital scale to make this easier. Before he preps the food, he gently hoods the falcon, a tiny leather helmet like blinders on a horse, to keep her calm. He pulls a thawed quail carcass from a mini-fridge and cuts it with scissors, careful to remove bones that might get stuck in her throat.
