The other day Eric and I went to brunch at The Chicago Diner.  They’ve been around since 1983 and I’ve been going there since 1991.  A great way to lessen your impact on the environment is by eating a veggie meal.  This restaurant is a great choice as there are plenty of things a meat eater like Eric can enjoy without missing the meat on his plate.

I had (with tofu and soy cheeze):

HUEVOS A LA MEXICANA 8.99
Eggs or tofu, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, cheeze, with corn tortillas, rice, black beans & salsa.

This was FABULOUS!  The only drawback was it was rather spicy.  The portion was large enough that I ate a little more later that afternoon and took the remainder to work on Tuesday for breakfast.

Eric had:

GRILLED POTSTICKERS 6.99
With cabbage, carrot filling, dipping sauce & sesame seed topping.

I would have to say these were the BEST potstickers I’d ever had.  The dipping sauce was thick and held on well – great flavor!

FRENCH ONION SOUP 3.25  4.25
Caramelized locally grown organic sweet onions in a savory sage & thyme vegan broth with seasoned croutons.

I love finding vegan french onion soup.  It was great but a little spicy for Eric’s taste buds – I loved it!
