10Best Says

It's easy for detractors to claim they hate raw food without even trying it which is a shame because places like RAW. are trying hard to break the stereotype that raw isn't tasty. It's making headway because this popular outpost is located within the Chicago French Market in the Ogilvy Transportation Center. All menu items feature organic ingredients. Highlights include salads, pizzas, pastas, muffins and granola and nut-free choices. It also offers a selection of super food smoothies, sunflower sprouts, vitamins, wheat grass shots, coconut water and rejuvelac. It makes it easy to try with its grab-and-go packaging. For those not quite ready to make the decision, there are usually tons of samples to try on any given day.
