All I can say is WOW!…read more I had a business associate send me a gift box from Chicago Game and Gourmet. It was packed with all kinds of really cool and exotic meats. We made Bison and Elk steaks last night that were out of this world. This is the most fun and interesting business gift I've ever received. I'm pretty sure that this will become my new choice for sending out "Thank Yous". Not to mention treating myself, as well. Thanks guys!

EA is the spot to choose when looking for local, organic food/produce options. Toll Foods? Trader…read moreShmoe's? No thanks. EA is where I go for pretty much all of my produce at this point. They also have high quality, free range eggs. My only complaint is that these eggs are like rocks, you can commit assault with them -- nothing like cheap-o eggs that shatter at the touch of a pinkie finger. As an added bonus, if you volunteer you'll be exposed to awesome music, lovely people, and Andrea or Dietrich usually bust out some crazy exotic fruit for you to sample. O and the variety, so much variety. Celeriac... wtf is that? Who the hell knows but you toss it in broth and voilà! Watermelon radish... uh sure thing! cut it up and throw it in your salad bowl. If it's greenish and grows in the dirt, it can't NOT be good for you, right?

My only complaint about this co-op is that you get too much food! This is the coolest concept and…read moreI would highly recommend to anyone that wants to expand their vegetable/ingredient repertoire. Every two weeks you can pay ahead for the shares, and you pick it up, and don't pick what's in it. You get all these organic and usually local fruits and veggies. I've gotten stuff that I've never used before, like turnips and rainbow chard and green onions (I know...). But it's gotten me to look up new recipes and try new foods and that's been awesome. You can also buy from their bulk items, like different legumes and beans, homemade breads and jams, and staples like eggs and butter. I don't come here a ton but it's pretty awesome when I do make the effort. I think they've gotten bigger in the past year which is really great to see.

We had a small layover here and walked past this little market in the airport (terminal 1) where…read morethey had a decent section of vegan prepared food items. I chose the teriyaki noodles with small bits of vegan chicken, celery, and carrots. It's refrigerated and tasted good! It definitely held me over as other nearby vegan food options were dim. The gentleman working the register was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Next time I'm at O'hare airport, I'll look out for this little market to grab some more vegan noodles and snacks.

Good amount of choices available on a Monday afternoon around 530pm. Located a chicken salad with…read morecranberries on wheat bread. There was a decent size scoop & a large leaf of lettuce. Bread was fresh. Also got a bag of chips. It was tasty & light. Nor Hasan checked me out he was pleasant & efficient. Sandwich $11.99 & lays chips 2 1:4 oz pkg $3.99 total $17.78 after taxes were applied.

Why at three in the afternoon on a Friday would this place be out of key salad ingredients like…read moretomatoes? Hmmmmm... Aside from that I found it to be a nice healthy alternative in a sea of bad food court food. The three guys behind the counter were super nice and even gave me extra artichokes because I was the only person to ever get excited about artichokes. What;s not to get excited about? They are a one fab-u little veggie that are really good for you. The dressings are fresh and different and you can sample before you buy. I had to give only three stars because Salad Creations is really only a glorified salad bar except there is someone that puts the fixins in a bowl and swirls around some dressing with the veggies to give it that ooooh-la-la appeal. And because they were out of so many ingredients.

So a new Salad Creations shop opened in the Citibank building food court area (below the Oglivie…read moreTransportation Center) back in September. I've been there a few times now and am pretty impressed with what they can do with such a limited amount of space. I think the work area must be just a quarter of the size of the standalone location just a few blocks away, but they are able to churn out fresh, pricey salads at quick and tasty rate. From your spot in line, you'll see the McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, and Sbarros of the world beckoning you with their low-cost, artery-clogging alternatives, but for your sake and the sake of future airline seat neighbors, resist the temptation and stay where you are! The pre-set salads are great options, and with a little more patience and planning you can choose your own salad adventure.

Best CHICKEN SAUSAGE I've ever had... usually chicken sausage is rubbery n taste proceased!!!!!…read moreBrownsville CHICKEN SAUSAGE is gluten free, preservative free, free from antibiotics and hormones, raised cage free and sourced from the Amish n Halal..Personally, I don't eat pork so I'm always on a hunt for sausage alternatives. Even the meat casing is pork free which makes it juicy n tender not tough n chewy. FAMILY OWNED made right here in The Chi. Give it a try u won't be disappointed. It's my morning go to.

They have the same basic spices you could buy at Devon and for about the same price. They also have a great selection of coffee ( both whole bean and ground ). The best part is that they have coke and Fanta in glass bottles! The employees are awesome!

The newest food truck to hit the Chicago scene, chef Phillip Foss has left the kitchens of Lockwood…read moreto join the latest craze in the restaurant world. Chef Foss was there to talk with us and was very laid back. We talked a bit about social networking and such before taking off. No line, but it was the first official day, so hopefully word of mouth spreads. My co-workers and I each got the meatball sub, which he said was his favorite. Lots of cheese, very aromatic, and the bread was perfect. The inside was softened up from the sauce (but not too saucy), while the outside remained chewy. The meatballs were filling and juicy. While $8 feels like a lot for a sandwich (and it is, honestly), it was pretty darn good quality. I'll be back if he's ever in the Loop again...and if they can get their Foursquare working. I want my badges!

I'm a big fan of the food truck. So the day before I left for Chicago this week I made sure to…read morecheck out some of the food trucks driving around town. Meatyballs was my first food truck in Chicago and boy is it a tasty one. I opted to try (3) different balls (grenades) as opposed to one hero (which they call a torpedo). For about $9 they filled me up for the next few hours and tasted great. First up was the BBQ Ball...pork shoulder with red cabbage, apples and a smoky bbq sauce. Hit the spot for sure. Next I tried the MeatyBall...pork/beef combo with a cheese truffle sauce. Totally delish. Loved the sauce. Third but certainly not least was the Buff Ball. I think this one was my favorite... buffalo chicken, celery, hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese. The chicken was so soft and moist it fell apart. And the fact that they put on actual crumbly blue was a big plus (I realllly don't like creamy blue cheese dressing. Yuck) My only complaint for the MeatyBall Mobile truck is that the grenades and torpedoes aren't made right there in front of you. It looks as though they make a few dozen of each in the morning... wrap them up, label them and put them in the back of their truck (which doubles as warm oven). When I first read about the truck I was visualizing a guy with 6 pots of meatballs... all heated by water underneath ... and each sandwich made on the spot when you walk up. I know this could be time consuming... but I think it would really kick the balls up a notch. While my grenades were delish... they were messy and the bread a little soggy. Overall though a great find in the Windy City. Glad I stopped by. Definitely recommending.
