the spiral diner


the spiral diner is heaven for vegans. it's a cute little diner with lots of yummy food and everything on the menu is completely animal free. the original location is in fort worth, and they recently opened a second location in dallas. alan took me to the new one last night on one of our surprise dates!
now, i have been vegetarian for almost a year, and vegan for not quite as long. which is great. i love it. but one of the things that you give up when you give up meat is the ability to walk into a restaurant and just order any old thing off the menu. you have to ask a lot of questions, do a lot of research, think really hard - just to eat a meal. you have no idea what an amazing treat it is to go to a place like the spiral diner and be presented with this extensive menu of delicious food and know that you can, in fact, eat all of it. anything. guilt free. i was practically giddy last night at dinner. and the best part? my carnivorous husband loved it too.

That sounds awesome. Maybe you, Elysa and myself could all meet there for dinner one night :) I don't think my carniverous husband would be as pleased ;-)
