I'm so glad people are starting to catch on with the trend of veganism, since it is also very inclusive of food allergies such as lactose intolerance, something I have. This endeavor is a great example of a personal belief, eating good and healthy food makes you feel better, driving intrinsic motivations. I would what other dietary considerations they make such as organic, non GMO, or ethically sourced ingredients. It would be interesting to see if any of these other common foodie health considerations are taken into account.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325963334565018078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-31428022702750456432017-04-08T16:01:55.391-07:002017-04-08T16:01:55.391-07:00I love Chicago Diner!

I think it is amazing that they were able to get it off the ground when they did, when vegetarian and vegan diets were so far from from the mainstream. It's quite surprising that they were successful and so ahead of their times- even today, when veg-friendly restaurants are all the rage, very few aim to provide standard U.S. diner food the way that Chicago Diner does. I am curious about the backgrounds of Kaucher and Hornick- were they restaurateurs and involved in the culinary world by profession? Or simply passionate about good food? Delving into this question could allow us to understand what their motivations were to start the diner. Regardless, I doubt that them or anyone else could've predicted how successful it would be or that it would still be flourishing today.

Essentially, the diner sounds like it was created to provide a type of cuisine while maintaining a vegetarian/vegan menu. Challenges such as this require innovation and therefore creativity, as things cannot be done the old way in order to succeed. I wonder if there are other stores like this? How many cuisines have started due to challenges and dietary restrictions such as this? Creativity is often a response to challenge, and this is such a case.sinplatedgoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073192757815406380noreply@blogger.com
