In this episode, Kale Krew's Nemanja and Tamika visit Alice & Friends vegan restaurant in the cool area of Chicago known as The Glen. Mun Wong is the owner of Alice & Friends. The dishes here are beyond extraordinary, works of art that are almost too gorgeous to eat, operative word "almost." From Korean BBQ to Miso Ramen, from Banh Mi to vegan shrimp, the recipes are filled with flavor. Appetizers, entrees and desserts are all equally extraordinary. A list of some of the restaurant's top menu items are below.

Alice & Friends’ was founded by Alice Lee in 2001. When Alice decided to pursue her dream to move to Europe, the restaurant became a family run Loving Hut, part of a fabulous vegan chain which exists around the world. Mun Wong took over in 2016 and decided to bring back the name Alice & Friends Vegan Kitchen, on a mission to create a wonderland of flavorful vegan food out of sincere respect for all living beings and a desire to make as little impact as possible on our ecosystem. Below are some of the dishes you can order at Alice & Friends! For more, visit: https://aliceandfriendsvegankitchen.com/
