The Pandemic Intensified Chicago’s Food Deserts in the South & West Sides - Eater Chicago
"Conscious Plates is a 100 percent alkaline and plant-based restaurant and organization that offers holistic healing and lifestyle training. The restaurant was born out of a 2018 popup and offers healthy alternatives to popular dishes like pizzas, nachos, and burgers. Customer favorites include the raw brownie ball, fajita tacos, and the restaurant’s signature Burro fries: sliced Burro bananas deep-fried in grapeseed oil." - Ariel Parrella-Aureli
