Are you craving a delicious, good-for-the-planet, cruelty-free sandwich? Look no further! TLC’s new show “Best Food Ever” has just what you’re looking for!

Earlier this week, The Chicago Diner– one of our favorite Chi-Town vegan restaurants — was featured on popular food show thanks to their tasty Radical Reuben. According to their site:

“The episode called “Darn Good Diners” showcases the magic as it happens: the making of the Radical Reuben from start to finish.

Tender seitan roast ‘beef’ with grilled peppers & onions, sauerkraut, melted soy or swiss cheese and our homemade vegan dressing, on toasted marbled rye. Shown with sweet potato fries.”

Get the hell out of town! That sounds amazing!

Visiting Chicago? Besides ordering the reuben, we also recommend one of their unbelievable vegan milkshakes. You won’t regret it!

Oh shoot, this sounds so good! I wanna try it! I hope there are more vegan gourmet restaurants around.

I saw this! I was shocked to finally see a veg restaurant featured on a food pig out show. About time, and bravo! There is too much meat on tv.

Mickey and Jo from the Diner are two of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you’ll ever want to meet. We were lucky enough to have them cater our wedding. I was so happy to see the Diner featured on this program and treated with the same amount of respect as the other featured diners, not mocked. Great place!

And the reuben really is THAT good!!!! Been going to the Chicago Diner for years and just ordered the reuben for the first time last weekend. AMAZING. My new favorite lunch item!
