A Vegetarian's Dream
Sunday, May 07, 2006
A small storefront on Halsted, next to 7-11, The Chicago Diner caters to vegetarians and the vegetable-friendly. There is nothing that I have had here that I didn't like. The salads are plentiful, the sandwiches are vegetarian takes on the typical diner food. The servers are cute, little girls, not bright, but friendly and enthusiastic about the food. They are very helpful, and if and when it comes to dietary concerns, the Chicago Diner is more than accommodating. The ingredients are fresh and focused, and the portions are generous. The prices are reasonable, fairly cheap, but it can add up when you have to order a mixed juice or smoothie, and then when you add on a vegan dessert. But it's good food, and it's good for you.
