Chicago is famous for many things; its glittering skyline overlooking Lake Michigan, Cubs fans singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” in the 7^th inning and, of course, its chilly, windy winters! Maybe a lesser-known fact is that Chicago also has a vibrant and ever-expanding culinary scene. Gone are the days when Chicago fare meant hotdog carts and deep-dish pizzas. Now, the city features an array of healthy restaurants with everything from raw, organic dishes to gluten-free and vegan baked goods!
