Spiral Diner remains a vegan fave in Fort Worth

I love that Spiral Diner has not sacrificed a bit of flavor in their commitment to serve 100% vegan food.

Today we take a peek at Spiral Diner as part of the Magnolia Avenue Restaurant Series. Spiral Diner brings the Town of Cow vegan cuisine full of flavor and rebellious charm.

The Vibe

Expect to be greeted by a quirky, eclectic vibe and kooky metal sculpture as soon as you step foot into Spiral Diner. The open aqua colored dining area has a bright retro feel with '50s era tables, chairs, and vinyl booths. One look at the crowded dining room and you’ll see Spiral Diner is not just for hipsters and hippies.

The Food

The food prepared at Spiral Diner is 100% vegan. That means they don’t use any animal products at all (no meat, milk, eggs, or cheese). As part of Spiral Diner’s environmental commitment, they buy certified organic products whenever possible. They even post a list in the restaurant of the organic ingredients available for the week. I love that Spiral Diner has not sacrificed a bit of flavor in their commitment to serve 100% vegan food.

The Service

The service is casual and mostly self serve. Servers take your order and answer any questions about the menu. You serve your own drinks, such as the organic iced tea (made with fresh filtered water) or Blue Sky Sodas on tap. You also grab your own silverware and napkins.

Eat This

You will be surprised at the creativity and flavor found in the many and varied dishes. Meati-tarians will enjoy the Taco Salad or Jamaican Jerk sandwich. Kids will love the Sketti and Meatballs that tastes like the real thing. Try the Mediterranean wrap for a fresh treat in the summer or find comfort in the Red Coconut curry in the winter.

yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that inspiring, and I'm not sure if I like some of those analogies, even though I do believe some of it. I do like this quote from another source though:

"The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, meat-eaters use the hollowed out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing. And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu?"

anyway. go Cowboys.
