Denton = vegan awesomeness

I just want to take a moment and appreciate how many ALL VEGAN places we have to choose from in Denton. When I first started this blog/website over 11 years ago, I was happy to find a dish or two at any local restaurant and wanted to help others find them. Now we have so many options! So let's highlight these businesses that we can walk up to and order literally anything on the menu.

• Mean Greens at UNT, the nation's first all vegan dining hall. All you can eat vegan food for one price is pretty awesome. Sure, they're not open as much as we'd like, but they are still going strong after 10 years and we feel so spoiled with their soft serve and variety of menus. It's even better now that there's an affordable paid parking option nearby.
• Spiral Diner. Next on the scene was the opening of Denton's very own location. We used to drive to Ft. Worth or Oak Cliff just for those cupcakes and nachos. Now we can just pop over and get that amazing food whenever! And believe me, we do, because it's so easy to order carryout with that app.
• Pepitas. It was exciting when Milpa got a few vegan dishes, and then we saw Pepitas grow into its very own location. What a great variety of vegan Tex-Mex! They have all of the classic dishes WITH the cheese, Taco Tuesdays, Sunday brunch, and great desserts. Online ordering also makes pickup super convenient.
• PLOW Burger. This food truck concept from Austin branched out to Denton and we are hooked. Denton even gets its own burger called the Mean Green. I haven't tried any of the other burgers on the menu because this one is so good. Two for Tuesdays is a great deal because it gets you two burgers, two fries, and two PLOW sauces for $20.
  
• The So Good Vegan. What started as a pop-up at Mashup Market has grown into a food truck that is usually parked at Rubber Gloves. The Kicken Fried Chicken sandwich is so freaking good, and so are the burgers, smoked brisket, and the mac n' cheese. Go catch a show and a good meal with them.
• Soulgood Vegan Restaurant at TWU. Denton's newest spot is great for breakfast and lunch. It's lovely for dine-in or easy to take it to go. The fluffy waffles are shaped like Texas and the staff is friendly. The breakfast is served all day, too!
  

Can you believe it? SIX all vegan establishments in Denton! I'm so proud of how vegan-friendly this town is. Please keep showing your love for these local businesses and keep them going and growing.
