Food review: Since opening in Hyde Park, Orland Park and on Wells Street, Can't Believe It's Not Meat has excelled at making iconic Chicago foods vegan.
, though at Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat, they do. A golden packet with a remarkably flaky deep-fried flour tortilla crust holds gloriously seasoned vegan ground meat and spinach, bound by your choice of melted dairy or Good Planet vegan cheese. It is not inexpensive at $14, which does include a bed of fries, but worth it for the careful hand crafting and superior ingredients.Chef, owner and founder Laricia Chandler-Baker saves vegan cuisine from itself.
Chandler-Baker and her family decided to go vegan and vegetarian for 28 days, but her son and husband especially missed Chicago-style hot dogs, pizza and sandwiches. There were meat-free versions out there, but not to their taste.
