Discover Chicago Vegan Restaurants with UnchainedTV’s Kale Krew TV Series
Chicago vegan restaurants are transforming the Windy City with fresh, bold flavors and a vibrant community, discovered by the Kale Krew.
Los Angeles, August 1st, 2024 — Chicagoland is rapidly becoming a hub for vegan innovation. UnchainedTV’s new series, Kale Krew, showcases this transformation with verve and humor. With dynamic hosts Nemanja Golubovic, owner of the award-winning vegan restaurant Kale My Name, and Tamika Price, a renowned vegan social media influencer, this series brings the vibrant, growing vegan community in Chicago to life. UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell spoke with Nemanja and Tamika about their high-energy series:
A Tale of Two Hosts
Nemanja Golubovic, a multilingual entrepreneur from Montenegro, a Southeastern European country situated on the Balkan Peninsula, founded the restaurant Kale My Name with a vision to create a 100% plant-based dining experience. It quickly became a beloved staple in the Chicago vegan scene, winning numerous awards, including “Best Vegan Restaurant” by the Chicago Reader and “America’s Vegan Restaurant of the Year” by VegOut Magazine.
Tamika Price, known for her blog and social media presence as PlantBasedTamika, transitioned to a plant-based diet after years of struggling with asthma and sinus infections. Inspired by the documentary What The Health, she adopted a plant-based diet, which quickly led to significant health improvements. Tamika’s journey from fashion entrepreneur to vegan influencer highlights her mission to spread joy and healing through a compassionate lifestyle.
“Tamika is the face of a vegan Chicago foodie, and she just does that normally. She goes to these places and often drags me with her. So, we just do that naturally.”— Nemanja Golubovic, co-host of Kale Krew
In their TV series Kale Krew, Nemanja and Tamika explore the best vegan eats in Chicago, showcasing the food and the stories behind the establishments. You can watch a few episodes of the series below. Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat is a spectacular vegan comfort food restaurant that lives up to its name with burgers, shakes, fries, pizza, wings, nuggets, Philly cheese steaks and other classic Americana menu items, all done 100% vegan and, therefore, entirely cholesterol-free. The woman who runs it, known as Chef Fab, is on a mission to prove: anything you can make, I can make vegan.
