A fast casual spinoff of Spirit Elephant, the vegan eatery in Winnetka, elephant + vine is the newest endeavor from owner CD Young and hospitality company, Wild Thing Restaurant Group. Opening in Lincoln Park on May 3rd, this plant-based expansion will take the “this can’t be vegan” vegan food to a quick service model featuring sandwiches, bowls and more.
“Plant-based eating is a direct way that we as individuals can help improve the health of the planet and everyone on it,” says Owner CD Young. “According to the Vegan Calculator, which uses research from Scientific American and other academic sources, one plant-based meal saves roughly 360 gallons of water, 13 pounds of grain, 10 square feet of forest, and 6 pounds of CO2 and of course helps animals. Anyone who enjoys a meal with us not only has a wonderful dining experience, but also can feel good about its ripple effects.”
Spirit Elephant’s Cauli-Wings will feature on the menu, mixed with new, quick service options including burgers, hand-battered zero clucks chicken sandwiches, salads, rice bowls, shakes and smoothies.
