  • Longman and Eagle: One of Logan Sqaure’s Best Restaurants

    Longman and Eagle is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Everything they make is an explosion of unique flavors, and sitting on their patio in the summer is a vibe. Here’s a few dishes I’ve tried over the past years from their rotating menu:

    Their potato gnocchi is the perfect autumn meal. This dish includes roasted pumpkin, brown sugar, amaretti cookie crumb, Umbrian truffle, parmigiano, balsamico, and sage. Truly so many delicious fall flavors for this enticing gnocchi.

  • KAMA: A Vegetarian’s Heaven in Wicker Park

    KAMA definitely lives up to the hype. I’ve gone twice now, and everything is always incredible. This has to be one of the best Indian restaurants in Chicago. Here’s a rundown of everything I’ve tried:

    My three favorite appetizers are the Ghee Roasted Cauliflower, Beet and Goat Cheese Salad, and Crispy Chili Potatoes. The flavorful cauliflower includes cumin tempered goat cheese, mint chimichurri, cherry tomatoes, and spiced walnuts. All of these foods mixed together is a creamy dream of spices. The salad features pickled beets, cumin-tempered goat cheese, candied pecans, Frisée mixed greens, and blueberry lemon. This fresh salad tastes great especially when paired with a mango lassi. The crispy chili potatoes are delicious as well, and just how I like them–crispy and spicy on the outside and soft on the inside.

  • Late Nights in Lakeview: Where to Stop for Vegetarian Cravings

    One of the best parts about living in a city is getting delicious food when the midnight hunger strikes, and Chicago has some great plant-based options to try. Here are a few of my favorites after a night out in Lakeview.

    You can’t beat a late night Golden Apple trip, and y’all know I love a classic diner that always serves breakfast. I tend to order their chocolate hip waffles or pancakes, and the hash browns were the perfect savory side. There’s not many plant-based lunch or dinner options, so I usually go here when I’m craving breakfast food. So thankful for this 24-hour diner in Lakeview.

    I’ve lived in Lakeview, Chicago for a few years now, and I’ve found some incredible breakfast restaurants and coffee shops in the area. There’s so many delicious vegetarian options in the neighborhood, but here’s a few of my favorites.

    Sam and George’s have 29 skillets to choose from on their menu, and The Spartan with sautéed tomatoes, onions, green peppers feta cheese on top of hash browns is my go to. If I want something sweet, I order their yummy chocolate chip pancakes as well. This family-run restaurant is one of my favorites in west Lakeview, and I always leave feeling full and happy.

  • My Vegetarian DoorDash Favorites

    We live in an age where I can get delicious food from my favorite restaurants delivered right to my door in Chicago, and I’m going to take advantage of that. I use DoorDash when I have a craving because I get a free DashPass membership with the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card I have.

    The Elote quesadilla from Seoul Taco is one of my favorite indulgences to order for delivery. It’s packed full of flavor and spice. Their kimchi fried rice and churros are fire too. I always recommend this place for a tasty takeout meal.
