kāl'ish.

you can bet that when the words vegan and chicago come together in the universe, i'm going to know about it. so even though it took me a minute to get my bootie up to uptown, we recently went to kāl'ish short order vegan for brunch with some pals. (hi, erik & mavis!)

kāl'ish keeps it real : "please do not confuse us with an activist organization that promotes peace, love, happiness & all things butterflies - even though all of that is important to us. we are trying to create a dining experience that weighs less on our bodies & our environment than animal-based alternatives, while being profitable & long lasting." see what i mean!

here's what i had ...

vegan breakfast pastry appetizer :

cinnamon roll & apple pop tart. 

LEGIT. too legit to quit, in fact. second best vegan cinnie bun i've had in my life. (first goes to tnaya, vegan baker extraordinaire.) 

classic pancake stack :

featuring baby fingers. 

also, legit. although, le bebe barely ate 1/4 of a 'cake ... but that's not the pancakes' fault. 

bad adz burger :

k burger + bacon, cheese, beet root mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle & onion.

i'm kind of in a perpetual hunt for an amazing vegan burger. (the beyond burger is pretty close to perfect, so far.) this one missed the mark for me a little bit. the fries were bomb though. 

listen, imho, any vegan spot is a good vegan spot. josh ordered buffalo chicken sandwich that was amazing. so i'm definitely getting that next time around. see ya then??
