Green Cuisine: Spirit Elephant brings elevated plant-based fare to Winnetka, for Modern Luxury Magazine, November 2019

“We want to ‘wow’ people with how good plants can taste and we want to do it in an environment that they really enjoy,” CD Young, founder, Spirit Elephant, Winnetka. 

Why do restaurants close?

“If you don’t want to eat in a Maggiano’s and an Olive Garden in your neighborhood, you better support those small, independent restaurants. Those are the ones that are bringing diversity; those are the ones that are employing people who are living in your community, paying taxes in your community, as opposed to those big corporations that are coming and bullying their way in the dining scene,” Pascal Berthoumieux, Bistro Bordeaux, Evanston, IL.
