Point them toward the Publican
By martha
Out today in the Reader‘s food issue, I bravely interview local chefs and find out that . . . they all really, REALLY love Paul Kahan. Stop the presses.
A more gripping read, IMHO, is Mike Sula’s fascinating and eloquent account of following his mulefoot pigs to slaughter. And then eating them. Vegetarians across Chicago are revving up their comment engines as we speak.
martha i am sick of it before it even began. how many times do i have to look at that ‘mulefoot’? SAYING mulefoot makes me sick enough. aren’t there any new restaurants for vegetarians? oh forget it, i gave all my money to AIG et al anyway.
have you tried Mana? it is veg — and in the hood, to boot.
thanks for talking me down. i did read the piece…today i used the front page of the reader with cute mulefoot pig looking sadly at me to wrap a bowl i was bringing to work (to eat vegan soup out of). i couldn’t take it anymore.
Okay, so yeah they did all say the Publican and Urban Belly (chefs want to try hot trendy places like the rest of us) but I congratulate you on finally getting chefs to not say Paradise Sauna for late night sushi! That seemed to always be the safe answer for chefs who didn’t want to give aid and comfort to any place that could remotely be competition.
Heh. Too true. And no Potbelly!
