DINER INSPIRED COMFORT FOOD WITH A PREMIUM
TWIST COMES TO SUNDANCE SQUARE
Scott Jones Comes Home to Fort Worth a Cultured Cowboy
with a New Restaurant to open in the Plaza Hotel Building

FORT WORTH, Texas (September 14, 2009) – Scott Jones, owner and concept creator of Screen Door and Café Italia in Dallas, will open a new concept restaurant early next year in Sundance Square. Cowtown Diner will be an updated version of a classic neighborhood diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Located in the historic Plaza Hotel Building, the restaurant will encompass 5,100 square feet on the ground floor at 301 Main Street including a shaded outdoor patio area. 

     With the guidance of chef and restaurateur Jones, Cowtown Diner will also feature a gourmet deli/take out market serving salads, sandwiches, prepared entrees, and casseroles and will offer full service off-site catering, as well as a home delivery family meal program. 

     “Cowtown Diner is for people who love to eat and enjoy bold, unique flavors,” said Jones. “Our menu has a strong point of differentiation. We will feature classic recipes with a fresh flair. Guests will savor the entire experience of dining at Cowtown Diner, particularly the inventive interpretation on the vintage diner concept.”

     Jones and business partner Carter Wilson have teamed up with Glenn Comtois of Arch 2 Graphics to create an environment reminiscent of the classic diner with strong traditional design cues. Classic and friendly, guests will be impressed with the relaxed, sophisticated country lodge atmosphere of Cowtown Diner. 

     “The addition of Cowtown Diner with a nod to classic comfort foods is a perfect fit for Sundance Square,” said Johnny Campbell, president and CEO of Sundance Square. “Sundance Square has a strong track record of bringing unique restaurants to the area which are embraced by the consumer.”

     Highly lauded by North Texas foodies, Jones’ Dallas dining concepts continue to garner rave reviews.

      Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, historic Sundance Square is a 35-block commercial, residential, entertainment and retail district where people work, live, shop and dine. Sundance Square’s beautiful landscaping, red-brick streets and turn-of-the-century buildings make it a pedestrian’s delight. Named after the famed Sundance Kid, who used the Fort Worth area as a hideout, Sundance Square has been hailed as a monumental achievement in urban redevelopment.
