About Me
Get to know me!
Welcome to my life as a vegetarian brown girl living in Chicago!
I moved to Chicago a few years ago, after getting married. I am very familiar with the city as I grew up in the Midwest and went to Michigan (Go Blue!) Chicago was always a city that was near and dear to my heart, not only because I fell in love here but also because of the vibrant culture, dramatic backdrops and amazing food scene. The perfect place for me, as I have been a foodie since I can remember.
Growing up a vegetarian, I always wanted to go out to eat with my friends but struggled to find delicious and inclusive food options. I mostly found substitutions that were relatively boring and bland. Now that vegetarian and plant-based options are becoming more widely available, I wanted to share my experiences of where I go out to eat and what I find! I don't simply look for vegetarian options, rather experiences with good vibes and tasty food.
As a proud Indian-American, I also love to scope out the scene for brown girl things. From getting my eyebrows threaded to finding a desi grocery store downtown, I hope to share my journey and discoveries with you all. I'm also a huge fan of cooking my own meals using desi-inspired ingredients or sometimes just a traditional desi meal!
