Native Foods Opening in WP Tomorrow
Vegans rejoice. Tomorrow marks the official opening of the California-based Native Foods Cafe on Milwaukee Avenue, with three other Chicago locations soon to follow (creating around 200 jobs -- bonus!). All menu items are under $10 and feature plant-based vegan foods, including owner Chef Tanya Petrovna's homemade tempeh (the only restaurant chain in the US to make their own). The Wicker Park location will also feature a "starving artists" room where local artists can display their work in exchange for free food. Aside from refreshingly tasty health conscious food, the 75-seat Cafe will also feature six local beers, including Two Brothers, Metropolitan, and Bells. Starting Tuesday, Aug. 9, you can visit the very first Chicago location at 1484 N. Milwaukee.
