The next time you're back in Chicago, visit Karyn's upscale restaurant, Karyn's On Green.

I've only been to Native Foods Cafe once in Chicago and also got the Chicken Run Ranch burger. Crazy how much it was like real chicken and having vegan ranch was such a treat too. I've been dying to go to the Chicago Diner and I think your pic of the reuben and mac & cheese has sold me on making a trip now!NutriWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082280741094092021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-19985238739328209742012-08-08T23:25:07.748+01:002012-08-08T23:25:07.748+01:00oh my gosh!

What a really cool sculpture, and how cool that people feel so invited to interact with it. Also, what a treat to actually eat at Chicago Diner. I wish i could get a French Toast Combo plate - without having to make it for myself! What fun! :)Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-16922743123912871752012-08-08T22:06:48.913+01:002012-08-08T22:06:48.913+01:00You don't need to go cold turkey!

Some branches of Asda sell cans of root beer in multi packs. And Fentimans produces bottles of root beer but I'm not sure which outlets stock Fentimans in Brighton.Nodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322059054113916935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-32060755637626594392012-08-08T21:55:23.542+01:002012-08-08T21:55:23.542+01:00I love your vegan travel write ups.

I love the Art Institute and ‘the bean’ is definitely fun. I haven’t been to Willis Tower since it was called Sears Tower - and still is by a lot of native Chicagoans - so I’m kind of curious to check out the sky-deck now.<br /><br />Karyn’s Cooked is great, amazing brunch!!! and such a cool little place with great atmosphere. I haven’t been to The Chicago Diner in years but I remember it always being very good, can’t recall a bad meal ever eaten there. I’ve been to Native Foods many times since they opened here, they’re amazing. The Chicken Run Ranch burger is pretty good but my fave is the Oklahoma Bacon Burger check it out next time!!! <br /><br />I didn’t know there was a place in Chicago that had Vegan Pizza options so I learned something new even though I live here! I’ll have to check them out because Pizza is one of my husband’s favorites and even though I make pizza, eating pizza out is always a treat!<br /><br />How do you keep refrigerated stuff from spoiling on the plane back to England?Kyleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224159855988262519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-706240994548945032012-08-08T15:07:38.493+01:002012-08-08T15:07:38.493+01:00What a fun trip!

While I've never been to Karyn's Cooked, Karyn's on Green is one of my all-time favorite restaurants, so I'm sure the food is just as stellar at KC -- we will definitely have to try it the next time we are there. "Yet again we forgot that sausage can mean something different in the US." You have me curious, what does sausage mean to you? I had no idea there was any difference. :)Bobbie {the vegan crew}http://www.thevegancrew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572519749749123334.post-77658636151026713962012-08-08T14:57:56.440+01:002012-08-08T14:57:56.440+01:00All of these meals look so tasty, especially the b...All of these meals look so tasty, especially the burger & chips & hot dog and the pizza and brunch food... can you tell I'm hungry? I've really enjoyed reading all your posts about this trip, and it's making me want to travel more! You've also convinced me that I need to try root beer, but I've never seen it over here.
