    Question Chicago Area Restaurants

    Can anyone recommend any Chicago or suburban Raw Restaurants?
    A friend of mine has taken interest in Raw and we'd like to try one out!

    It's just time for a change... :cool:

    I saw a couple listed in one of the other forums. Actually I think it's actually a forum for finding restaurants which is damn near impossible!

    I haven't tried any myself, but I really want to next time I'm in the city

    Since you mentioned chicagoland, there's a new raw restaurant in downtown Downers Grove, right inbetween the Tivoli and the train station.

    Karyns is good!!! Cousins is good as well. If you want more of a heavy meal then Karyn's if you want more of a light meal then Cousins should work.

    Karyn's does have a small section in the restaurant where you can eat all of the salad you want for I think $12.00 and I believe you have different pates to pick from on the food bar.

    Cousins have a large all you can eat salad bar larger then Karyn's.
