Big Bowl

I met my friend Jenny at Big Bowl for lunch last week to gab about all our favorite subjects-happy hour, weekend plans, work, dating, and of course food.

Before heading over, I looked up the menu and was pleasantly surprised to see they had a number of gluten free offerings.  http://www.leye.com/files/jenniferbell/bigbowl/Gluten-Free-SP.pdf

Because I'd already tackled a Grande Starbucks Latte earlier that morning, I decided on the Vegetable Summer Rolls.  A light, seasonal appetizer of rice noodles and veggies bundled in a rice paper wrapper and accompanied by a lemon dipping sauce.  Plated like a sushi maki roll, this meal not only hit the spot, but was easy to maneuver with chop sticks (heaven forbid I ask for a fork.)

For those of you working in the River North/Gold Coast area or doing some damage on Michigan Avenue, stop on in at Big Bowl and enjoy.
