The Meatless Walk of Life Away from the Comfort of My Own Kitchen: Chicago, a Success Story

If cupcakes make your tongue tingle and spasm with joy, Chicago's Swirlz Cupcakes will perform the dutiful task.  Just like the shockingly magnificent scones at Stone(Scone)henge, these too are an unexpected treat.  Between the delicious, textured cake and the voluptuous icing, these cupcakes make for an excellent meal (sorry parents).  

Also a great Chicago eatery (or at least for the anti-murder crowd) is the Chicago Diner, a vegan/vegetarian restaurant with flare.  The diner brags its loyalty to its anti-meat message since 1983.  I had the Pan Seared Fillet with Sweet Potato "Fries", an excellent entree, but also saved room for their famous raw vegan cheesecake and vegan milkshakes.  

My stomach is now left growling, intensely appreciative of Chicago's vegan/vegetarian offerings.
