The Chicago Reader's annual "Best of" issue has awarded Chicago Diner Best Vegan Restaurant for 2010!
Even though Chicago Diner is not 100% vegan, virtually all menu items are vegan or can be ordered vegan.
Including our popular vegan shakes featuring Temptation vegan ice cream & Teese Cheese for our Macaroni & Cheeze, both from Chicago Soy Dairy.
And now featuring tapioca based Daiya (pronounced "day-uh", yes we were saying it wrong too) Vegan Cheese.
And we feature trans-fat free: Earth Balance Margarine and Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese & Sour Cream.
Now, The Chicago Diner is working to transition all dairy items to organic, local, non-factory farmed sources.
