Max and Issy's Pizzeria

Pizza restaurant · Lakeview

"This year, a Chicago bar owner is opting for a historic take on Lent by eschewing food in favor of beer, a practice originated by Bavarian Paulaner monks in the 17th Century, according to Chicago. Pat Berger, owner of bacon-centric Paddy Long’s in Lakeview and Kaiser Tiger in the West Loop, is sustaining himself with four doppelbocks per day." - Naomi Waxman

Inspired by Bavarian Monks, Paddy Long’s Owner Lives on Beer for Lent - Eater Chicago

Bloom Plant Based Kitchen

Vegan restaurant · Wicker Park

"Plant-based gluten free restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to oneself (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet."
