As we've dined around Chicago, we've found interesting veggie options in restaurants that aren't dedicated to serving non-meat eaters, but haven't had as much luck in establishments that cater to vegans and vegetarians. Do the faux meat sandwiches and vegan cheese alternatives at Chicago Diner deliver a satisfying experience? Listen to find out!
