We had no problem finding places to eat during the day and night - even found an award winning raw food restaurant. Our condo (we rented off of Craigslist) had a Vegan Times magazine on the table when we got there - we never said a thing to the owners about our eating habits. In the months leading up to our visit I signed up for Daily Candy Chicago and just saved their restaurant recommendations....we were there for 5 nights. We had a harder time finding eco friendly clothing.... but having said all this ... there is NO DOUBT - this city is a meat eater's paradise... wow…very interesting that you had this experience

I often describe Jay as my very first friend, for that is what he is. Our brothers, who are two years older than us, went to pre-school together so Jay and I have literally known each other my entire life (he is six months older than me). We went to pre-school together, grew up on the same street and also went to the same overnight summer camp for a good ten years or so. I have no recollection of meeting him, as I have always known him. We had a tumultuous love affair that lasted from the age of 3 until 10, when we were torn apart, broken hearts and all, with my family’s move from Winnipeg to Toronto. We have been on many adventures together: camped in Lake of The Woods, travelled through Israel, met up in in New York, and most recently, celebrated my 29th birthday in Chicago.

So I'm guessing you avoided the world-famous deep dish at Pizzeria Uno, which had, as I recall, about 1 kg of mozzarella per slice. Haha… what hardship!
