Hello all !!

I am not sure if anyone has posted a thread on Borrowed Earth, but I thought I would share that their food is amazing, so so very good.

I have had the Planet Earth Pizza, Burrito Locco(Sampled a friends) and Corn Mole both dishes come with 3 tasty salads.

Oh and I cannot forget to mention there yummmy yummy dessert

Out of this World Cheese Cake
Out of this world taste. Chocolate and vanilla “cheese cake” on a nut terra firma crust.

I have been to this restaurant twice now and whenever I am in the Chicago area I will definitley stop at this restaurant again.

Ooooh, thanks for posting this! I thought Karen's Raw was the only raw restaurant in the Chicagoland area!

There's also Cousin's IV.

Any organic and raw places in the Chicago-land area that anyone has tried and enjoyed?

[LainaV]

I just heard about Cousin's IV too. I always thought Cousin's was a turkish place (the others are, I guess).

There's Karyn's Raw
Borrowed Earth
Cousin's IV
and then there's the Raw Potluck in Wheaton

Don't know of any others but would love it if someone else knew of more!

[Coconut Love]

I think Cousin's IV is mostly organic.

[Coolexplosion]

Anyone have experience with any of the others besides Borrower's?

oh mann..i used to live in naperville really close to where this place is. now i live in boulder (which i lovveee) without a raw food restaurant within a 45 min drive. ahh! :p

[tanishamarshall]

I think each of the raw restaurants in Chicago are good in there own way. Cousins has more of a lighter fair and Kayrn's is a bit heavier. It really depends on what you like. Cousins is more Turkish to me.

I love Kayrn's, Dim sum and I love Cousins raw pizza and eggplant bacon.

The Chicago Diner also has a couple raw dishes each day.

I heard about the Chicago Diner, never been there. Is the food good?

[Coconut Love]

I love Chicago Diner. I've had the raw meal twice and both times it was very good.

They all sound incredible......the only raw food restraunt in these parts is called "my kitchen" and I have to say we have some "perty" good food. I really can't complain but I can't waite to experience a real raw food restraunt. FUN!!!

Thanks for posting this. We are going to Chicago in a couple weeks for the express purpose of trying out a few raw food restaurants. We are so excited!!!! We planned on going to Cousins and Borrowed Earth. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed both of these places. Any other information that you could give me would be super appreciated. :) Thanks again for posting your experience and those lovely pictures!
