Dinner at the Chicago Diner!
Meatless since 1983, this diner boasts exceptional vegan and vegetarian cuisine and award winning "milk"shakes. We tried the Country fried "steak" and peanut butter "milk"shake. We were not disappointed. The textures and flavors were exceptional. Check them out next time you are in the area!

The Empire Burger Bar
We had a great time at The Empire Burger Bar in Napperville, IL with family and friends. They have a wonderful atmosphere with an tasty menu to boot. We had The Ellen and The Key West. The Ellen is a Beyond Burger on a pretzel bun with vegan cheddar, guac, lettuce, tomato, and raw red onions. The Key West normally comes with a turkey burger, maple bourbon glaze, caramelized onion, pineapple, and chili garlic aioli on a pretzel bun, but we subbed in the Beyond Burger. The burgers come with fries or chips. The chips are fresh fried potato slices with a sweet dusting and the fries are lightly salted. Both burger were spectacular.

Park Grill
After taking our pictures at Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean"), we stopped in to the restaurant located directly below it called Park Grill. The atmosphere is amazing with Cloud Gate above you and the ice rink right outside the windows. Their menu is normal American fare with only a couple of items that can be tweaked to vegan. Good news is that these options are really good! We had the hummus as an appetizer and the Impossible Burger with fries for the entree. The burger is a plant-based patty, sprouts, red onion, tomato, avocado, and a whole wheat bun. It also comes with cheddar cheese and the lemon garlic aioli, but we had those omitted. The entire meal was delicious, but my favorite part was the ketchup! I have no clue what they put in it, but it was the absolute best ketchup I have ever had.
