First off, let me say this:
Whoever voted Chicago the vegan-friendlist city in the US needs to check them self! As an always prepared vegan, you know that I always pack food on trips. Because I figured that I wouldn’t have a problem finding food in Chicago I only packed 3 overnight oats for breakfast (Plus, I was on vacation and was not afraid to spend extra money on good food). But finding vegan food in the city was actually quite the challenge.
The 5-hour drive to Chicago was actually quite relaxing. Traffic was good, weather was good, our first meal was REALLY good.
FALAFEL SUB AT SUBWAY! We stopped at a gas station to get gas and eat because there was a Subway inside. Little did I know that little town carried the falafel sub. It was sooo good! I didn’t get the cucumber sauce because I figured it wasn’t vegan.
For two nights we were there we went to seafood buffet for dinner. I obviously didn’t eat seafood but my brother did! I had endless bowls of miso soup, noodles, fruit, and veggie sushi. I tried some weird things though!
The white ball is steamed bread! It was actually good!
I love veggie sushi!
But like I said, finding vegan food in the city was a challenge. I settled for mexican food the first day.
nomnomnom.
We must have walked over 10 miles in just the first day. Us country folk didn’t even think about taking a bus anywhere. :/
On our way home, I made one last request to stop at the famous
CHICAGO DINER
Holllly cow. These were the best things I’ve ever ate. Even the omi-brother loved them!
Success.
I also ordered a pesto/ranch style chick’n sammich! So good.
My favorite place yet!
Have you ever been to the Chicago Diner?
Aw that’s a bummer that they didn’t have very many options
Sad! At least you got to try the falafel sub!!! That sounds good!
makes me want to check out Chicago! or any place other than where I am now for that matter haha
According to Subway’s allergen guide, their flatbread contains dairy. FAIL!!!
