(No) Meat Market
Chicago Vegan Festival
Full disclaimer: I'm not vegan. But, this weekend's Chicago Vegan Mania is right up my alley anyway, because it's like one-stop shopping for some of my fave Chicago foods. The lineup includes the Chicago Diner's veghead comfort classics, Soul Vegetarian's barbeque and mac 'n' cheese, and Upton Natural's Seitan Chorizo, and for dessert, Cru Cacao's organic truffles. Yep, it's all vegan, meaning it takes less energy and water to make it. In between bites, you can check out merch like Recycle Me's Eco Chick organic tees and campfire-ready marshmallows from Chicago Soydairy, while nodding along to live music from bands like Girls Rock! Chicago Camp alum Circular Convention.
Best part? Admission's free and includes five "grub stub" tickets for food samples to help you choose your fave before coughing up cash for a whole meal. Oh, and BTW, if 10,000 meat-eating Biters go vegan for just one meal this weekend, we'll avert enough CO2 to light 42 houses for 7 days. Not bad for a Saturday...
When: Sat., Oct. 10, 10:30 am-4 pm
Where: Pulaski Fieldhouse, 1419 W. Blackhawk. Map It
- City Editor Daisy…off to plan a camping trip to eat aforementioned marshmallows…
