| New Menu Items | ||||
New! Grilled Vegetable Panini |
 Zucchini, squash, onions & mushrooms sauteed with pesto & veggie bacon on a crispy-yet-soft, sun dried tomato ciabatta with melted cheese. Try it with our new root vegetable medley: parsnips, leeks, beets, carrots & sweet potatoes marinated with olilve oil & rosemary. Vegan option, of course. |
|||
New! Veggie Krab Cakes |
 Delicately seasoned tofu patties baked with a light breading served with a mustard remoulade sauce. The overall effect is somewhere between sublime & orgasmic. Our organic brown rice is now jazzed up with an infusion of black japonica, long and short grain aromatic brown rices. |
|||
New! Eggplant Parmesan* |
 A zesty tomato garlic sauce with layered oven-baked eggplant & vegan soy cheese. Served with garlic bread & steamed kale. You've never had Italian quite like this before (unless you've been eating at The Chicago Diner).*This dish contains nuts. |

ALSO: |
And making a deliciously triumphant return for a limited time! Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake |

"Hello, I was hit by a car and thought I was going to die. I just laid in the street until someone came by and noticed me. She thought I was dead but then she saw me breathing. So she brought me to her house where I am recuperating, but her cat doesn't like me so I can't stay here. I am a stray cat so I need shots & veterinary care, and I am very skittish, so I need extra special attention. If you have a big heart and can help please email: info@veggiediner.com." |

You may have noticed that the 'monthly' newsletter was not issued this summer. We apologize for the interruption. Summer is a hard time to be bound to the computer. Plus we had to catch up with Ugly Betty & Heroes on DVD! Also, we are working on changing the newsletter into more of a blog format.
Stay tuned.
