In Short
In this vegan haven in an unsuspecting strip near Grant Park, raw food goes way beyond wheat grass and carrot juice. Shunning heat in favor of a few time-intensive but nutrient- and enzyme-salvaging techniques, chefs turn out powerhouse dishes that defy preconceptions. Walnut steaks, lentil patties and hummus share the bill with inventive takes on lasagne, veggie burgers and a spinach Caesar. Desserts, including apple pie and oatmeal raisin cookies, are especially delicious endings.
