Vegetarian Express Gourmet Blind Faith CafeVegetarian525 Dempster Ave., , Evanston 847-328-6875 "Would you expect less of Evanston?" say fans of this Vegetarian hangout for yuppies, college types and other veg-heads, who praise "large portions" of "tasty" fare and "dream about" the breads, but phobes gripe about "too much fiber" and "uppity service"; still, you can "go with a clear conscience - no junk food here." - Zagat's Soul Vegetarian East Restaurant 205 E. 75th St. 773-224-0104 Hours: 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Mon.-Thur.;9 a.m.-11 p.m. Fri.-Sat,; 9a.m.-noon (brunch) and noon-8 p.m. (dinner) Sun. Credit cards: M, V Other:Wheelchair accessible Cheap Eats Soulful vegetarian at home on South Side By Bob Condor Soul Vegetarian East joins two seemingly divergent cuisines. You expect soul food to taste good but maybe not be so good for you. You think vegetarian food tends to be good for you but it doesn't exactly taste good.
KARYN'S Amitabul 3418 N. Southport Ave. 773-472-4060 "Buddhists believe that to have clear thoughts you have to detach everything on the mental side. In order to do that you have to keep the body in tip-top shape," says David Choi, the owner of Amitabul. Keeping with this philosophy, Choi features the healthy vegetarian cuisine of Korean Buddhists in his restaurant. The menu is 100 percent vegan and dishes are packed with heaping portions of tofu and organically grown vegetables. Steaming is the preferred method of preparation (very little oil and no chemicals are used) with fruit, garlic and miso soup seasonings. The main dining room, which cozily seats 60 souls, was designed by Choi to replicate monks' eating quarters. It is pleasantly decorated with tall leafy plants, hand-painted ceramics and the brush paintings of Choi's Buddhist Master, a hale octogenarian woman who could beat him in an arm wrestle. There are tables so you don't have to sit on the floor in the lotus position as monks do. However, a low seating area with recessed hollows is available for those who desire a more authentic experience, without the leg cramps. The landscapes and portraits that decorate the walls are for sale. Those looking for spiritual nourishment will also find it in ample supply at Amitabul. Choi, a practicing Buddhist, is more than willing to discuss Far Eastern philosophies when he's out of the kitchen working the room. And for those who wish to delve a little deeper, there's a regularly scheduled afternoon of meditation and food at his master's Buddhist temple that he brings his patrons to on Sunday afternoon. Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.- 8:30 p.m. Sunday Chicago Tribune review: 3 forks Chicago Diner Arlington Heights Blind Faith Cafe' 3300 N.
