Last night we all went out to dinner at a very traditional Chicago pizza restaurant. I thought that I was going to be out of luck, being vegan.<\/p>\n
But that didn’t seem to be a problem at all. The waiter had them cook for me a really delicious vegetable Chicago deep-dish pizza.<\/p>\n
Being from New York City, I think of Chicago deep-dish pizza as something exotic and almost otherworldly (come to think of it, it does look sort of like a UFO). So I was very happy with this option.<\/p>\n
The meal turned out to be delicious and very satisfying. Before eating it, I snapped a photo with my SmartPhone, which I sent to a friend.<\/p>\n
