"One of your in-laws is vegan, gluten-free, and/or trying out a raw food diet. Luckily this doesn’t need to be a problem because you can take them to Althea. It’s an upscale plant-based restaurant with dishes like a surprisingly satisfying “cacio e pepe” made with kelp noodles, spicy udon with tempeh, and a vegan cheese plate that’s somehow not terrible. Better yet, this place is located on the 7th floor of Saks Fifth Avenue on Michigan Avenue, which is perfect because your MIL really loves shopping the Clinique bonus sale." - adrian kane
