Two of my most trusted foodie friends have been adamant for awhile that this famous restaurant in the Fort Worth Stockyards needs to be added to the Life Content files.

Spiral Diner – Vegan Food – Dallas

I met Cary Pierce about three lifetimes ago when I was drinking screwdrivers at the Rhythm Room Tuesday through Saturday nights while he played onstage above the haze with his band Jackopierce.
