Cuisine and Design















Restaurant work is hard. Long-term success in the business is challenging, even grueling. What makes a place work?

Depends on the clientele, I suppose. The audience. Building, keeping, inspiring, pleasing.

I'll give just about anything a try. However, cost does come into play, and there's a balance, tradeoffs, to consider. 

I prefer supporting places that deliver something extraordinary.

Spiral Diner creates the best vegan meals in Fort Worth; the atmosphere is informal.

Several Vietnamese places have opened in this area just in the past year or two: the ones that match ambience, quality of food and reasonable pricing are added to the repeat mix.

What brings you back to certain places and not others?

Erik, for me it has to be a combination of quality, service and atmosphere. However, I will eat at a dump if the food is good. We have favorite places that we go to again and again!
