"“Meat Free Since ’83.” That’s the motto at the Chicago Diner, which first opened up in Lakeview and now has a second location in Logan Square. Both are worth visiting, and whether you’re looking for something vegetarian or vegan, you’ll find plenty of options. There’s a massive diner-style menu that even has some good fake-meat options. (We’re not saying go on a seitan-only diet, but the seitan gyro here is pretty good, and this is coming from people who like real gyros.) Make sure you get a vegan milkshake, too - they’re really good." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
