Chicago Paleo (and vegan) Meals Challenge

On a recent trip to Chicago, IL I wanted to see how I would fare with dining out while maintaining a Paleo diet as much as possible. I decided to provide a mini review of a few places that we ate at to show the Paleo choices and challenges that we encountered in hopes of helping others to make it easier to find Paleo friendly food as well. Day 1: Hartford to Chicago The trip started off at Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT. Ah, my first meal challenge on the road. As with most airports I've been in, there is the usual line up of fast food joints and then the possibility of getting a salad either to go or dine in a restaurant. The thought flitted across my mind t just say the heck with it and just eat what I wanted for the next few days since we were on vacation. Like vacation gives me a Paleo free pass or something.... Instead, I managed to actually order something that was as close to Paleo as I could. At the Black Bear Restaurant I chose the Wedge Salad.
