Information on Green Zebra |
Green Zebra opened this Spring on a gritty stretch of Chicago Avenue.
And although there's an animal in the name-you won't find much meat
on the plates. In fact, this vegetarian restaurant shares its name
with a variety of heirloom tomato! The menu focuses on veggies and
lots of 'em! Lou Canellis checked out his veggie paradise.
