The Bite:
imageShooting for a meal you'll truly love? Forget the Chinese takeout, and head to The Bristol for totally affordable, delish food made with almost all local, organic, seasonal ingredients. Try the heirloom apple salad for starters, then the raviolo (one big, honkin' ravioli) filled with a Swan Creek Farm poached egg and brown butter sauce. Pair your dinner with (swap it for?) a pint of the rich and malty new local lager Half Acre or one of its more than 60 organic or biodynamic bev options. TB also composts all its organic waste, so it's not part of the 35 million tons of food eateries trash each year. Love, love, love...
Wanna Try: 
The Bristol, 2152 N. Damen Ave. at Shakespeare Ave. (773-862-5555). Heirloom Apple, Celery Root, and Manchego Salad, $8.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters eat a locally produced apple instead of a nonlocal one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 50 cars.
