Chicago Diner Turns 27

The Chicago Diner, a 2009 Veggie Award Winner, is ringing in its 27th anniversary with a five-day celebration that features gifts, prizes, and “flashback specials.” The 100-percent vegetarian, mostly vegan, eatery will be serving its classics at “1983 prices,” including the Diner Burger, Gyros, Black Bean Burger, Radical Reuben, and Philly Steak. On Friday, the restaurant will be doling out prizes, ranging from Chicago Soy Dairy gift baskets, Clif Bars, Mercy for Animals t-shirts and DVDs, and—of course—VegNews Magazine gift packs.
