The Chicago Diner.’s v. chilled out — popular, but not frenetically busy on a Friday night — with a really well-stocked bar for a diner.
This all vegetarian, vegan and raw-friendly diner serves fair trade coffee — as well as organic vodka cocktails.
Anne and Kelly aren’t vegan but they really liked their Radical Reuben and Red Pepper Ravioli. My Wilted Spinach Salad was super fresh and yum too –
The vegan chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich was a bit hard, making it really difficult to split 3 ways, though it was yum once we divided and conquered it.
I took some pics of the food, but those taken without flash’re reddish and dark, and those with are orangey and washed out. I shoulda gone to the Food photography panel at the BlogHer conference –
But to the right’s a pic of the Reuben from The Chicago Diner’s website –

Six of us from the Organic Fred camp squeezed into a booth while we were visiting for the Green Festival. It was so much fun due to the great atmosphere, above average service, resonable prices, and awesome food. We went to the Firehouse Restaurant the next night - it was horrible. Next Chicago Green Fest - we are definately going back to the Diner!
