Post a CommentGreat article Reena. Eating better makes one feel better. Not a vegan, but moving towards it. :)
great post...love the detail
sounds wonderful, and so does the picture... :o)
Thanks for the review. These sound like great places! :-)
I feel like someone ran off with the main course if I don;t have meat!
Fun article, Reena. Wish we had some vegan restaurants in town. That Chicago Diner veggie brunch sounds like something I would like.
Thanks, I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one, not my type of food. How are you?
