Three day weekends are the best. They're even better when you decide to spend that Sunday in Chicago with friends. We shopped and enjoyed the beauty of our city. Strolling through Belmont later that night, my meat-loving friends and me, the lonely vegetarian, ate at the famous Chicago Diner. The Chicago Diner has been an all-vegetarian/vegan restaurant since 1983, and has won "Best Vegetarian Restaurant" from numerous vegetarian organizations and newspapers.
Take a tip from ECO: Even if you have no desire to become a vegetarian or vegan, just try eating less meat. In order to produce a single kilogram of beef, farmers have to feed cows 15 kg of grain and 30 kg of forage. 18% of greenhouse gases come from livestock (more than transportation). By eating less meat, you'll be eating healthier and helping out our bruised environment.
Despite a 45-minute wait, my friends and I braved the cold for a delicious faux meat meal. We recommend the "meat"loaf dinner, enchiladas, and the avocado tostadas. There's nothing better than a delicious, healthy, and completely meat-free meal.

Great use of the ECO tip! It's awesome that your non-vegetarian friends went to a vegan restaurant with you.
