DENTON SPIRAL DINER LOCATION TO SERVE MEAT (THIS WAS CLEARLY AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE Y'ALL)

will milne April 1, 2017

THE FOLLOWING IS COMPLETE SATIRE BECAUSE LOOK AT THE DATE

Spiral Diner announced in a press release this morning that they intend to serve meat at their Denton location set to open later this year. Read on to find out more information on this shocking news. 


Spiral Diner announced this morning that they intend to serve meat at their upcoming Denton location. The well known local chain is famous for serving delicious and inexpensive vegan fare at all their locations. Read on to find our more about why Spiral Diner has abandoned their commitment to veganism at their Denton restaurant.

Plans for a Denton location for Spiral Diner were announced last fall and are set to open later this year. Vegans and non-vegans alike have been anxiously awaiting the restaurant that has other locations on Magnolia St. in Ft. Worth and on Beckley Ave. in Dallas. 

"Denton people just kind of look like they eat a lot of meat," Abril Tonto, future manager of the Denton location, said. "We drove into town one day last week and saw all of you just sitting around eating tacos and burgers and decided that we needed to change our game plan. Heck, we had a meeting with a city planner and they had a meat stain on their tie and were holding a bag that just said 'MEAT' on the side for the entire duration of our meeting. What was in that bag?!"

We do know what they mean, though. We may have a bit of a taco problem and a lot of us DO look as if we are carnivores. 

The changes aren't expected to impact their entire menu - just certain items that could easily go back to include meat. For example, the "Chik'n-Less Salad" will retain its name, but now include a whole bunch of real chicken - like two pounds of chicken y'all. The "McNut Burger" which used to contain a healthy blend of sunflower seeds, carrots, brown rice and more in the bun will keep all those other things, but also just add some pulled pork so Dentonites will get that meat fix they think that they really need. 

Also on the menu are a few new meat-specific menu items on the line just for Denton. The "Mean Green Pot Pie" will be a green pot pie full of delicious eagle meat and some other healthy stuff (probably kale or carrots something I dunno). The "faux bacon BLT" will feature fake fake bacon which is real bacon made to taste like fake bacun (the popular type of fake bacon AKA not a typo). 

Spiral Diner has won several awards in the fourteen years of their existence. Soon, they'll be opening next to Stoke at 208 E. Hickory, in the northwest corner of the Rail Yard property on Hickory Avenue next to the train station. 

You can follow along with Spiral Diner today (which just so happens to be April 1st if you remember) at their Facebook page.

EVEN MORE DENTON WOMEN OF DISTINCTION
March 26, 2018

Women’s History Month is the perfect time to revisit some of the amazing Denton ladies who have been town saviors, trailblazers, hellraisers, social activists, and pioneers. Heck, over at TWU is the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame and the archives for the WWII WASP Archives, so you know there are stories a’plenty to tell. Here are a few more of our local favorites, including a 1920’s newspaper publisher, a tiny songstress with a big voice, and a political crusader.

Once a year in Denton, many of our local restaurants and bars get together for a good cause and make their food and drinks available for roughly the price of a single restaurant meal. This year’s event will feature around 35 participants, including a great mix of established Denton institutions (hi, Beth Marie’s!) and places that are new to Denton.

2018 DENTON MINI MAKER FAIRE
February 19, 2018

What image pops into your head when someone uses the word “maker”?

The images that tend to appear in the mind—not to mention Google’s image search—involve wires and circuit boards. As important as those skills and the people who enjoy them are, they only represent one type of maker. Many skills can fall under the maker umbrella, whether it’s programming robots to make pancakes or turning a bicycle wheel into a musical instrument. Artists, scientists, crafters, and engineers can all be considered makers. If you can take a set of materials and transform them into something cool, you are welcome in the maker community!

DO THE DENTON HOLIDAY LIGHTING FESTIVAL LIKE A PRO

DO THE DENTON HOLIDAY LIGHTING FESTIVAL LIKE A PRO
December 1, 2017

One of our favorite holiday traditions, the Holiday Lighting Festival, is this weekend. The annual free event features music, food, performances, a toy drive, and various other holiday activities. Happening simultaneously to the Holiday Lighting Festival is Wassail Weekend. Dozens of local shops extend their hours and welcome patrons to sample their wassail, a hot cider-like beverage. Wassail Weekend  On Friday evening the Downtown Denton square will be shut down to traffic to make way for wassail-guzzling pedestrians to walk around and enjoy all of the festivities. You'll find us circled 'round the tree like the Whos down in Whoville, holding hands and singing with joy. We're not sure who the Grinch is in this situation, though. 

If you plan on coming out to sample the wassail and find the joy of the holiday in your cold, black heart, here are our tips and tricks to making sure you get to squeeze as much holiday cheer out of the event as possible.

THE MANY FACES OF DENTON'S FINE ARTS THEATER

THE MANY FACES OF DENTON'S FINE ARTS THEATER
November 9, 2017

There’s been a lot of buzz around the recent arrival of the oft-rumored Fine Arts Theater hitting the real estate market, with a hefty pricetag in the ballpark of $1.5 million.  Owned by the McBride family since 1983 with high hopes of renovation, there were overtures in 2014 and then renewed interest in 2016 but alas… it has never come to pass. A recent episode of the Politically Denton podcast explored some of the backstory and future possibilities, but I figured it would be a hoot to have a look back at the history of this iconic spot from back in the day.

DENTON STARTUP WEEKEND 2017

DENTON STARTUP WEEKEND 2017
November 1, 2017

Entrepreneur. It’s kind of a dumb word if you think about it, and to most people (especially students) it carries some buzzwords with it that seem very business-y. When I first heard “entrepreneur," I thought to myself, “That’s for people in the college of business.” It never really struck me as, “I’m an entrepreneur,” even though looking back on my life, I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was a kid. Everything from trading Pokémon cards, making beaded bracelets and necklaces, and burning CDs for friends before we learned we probably shouldn’t were all entrepreneurial endeavors that were abundant in my youth (as they probably were in yours).

That’s the thing, though. Being an entrepreneur isn’t about putting on a suit jacket or making apps. It’s about making a living doing something you love, while making sure other people love it too (that’s what we call customer validation). And this is one of the things I learned going through Startup Weekend.

STOKE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Since opening in August of 2016, Stoke, Denton’s entrepreneur center and co-working space, has provided space for local businesses, entrepreneurs, freelance workers, and remote workers. The center has also hosted a variety of educational, professional networking, and social events. There has been formal and informal mentoring for new entrepreneurs and collaboration between several of the businesses located at Stoke. All of these things have provided great benefit to Denton’s tech and business communities, allowing them to contribute more to the Denton community and economy.
