"A small plates spot owned and managed by James Beard Award-winner Shawn McClain, Green Zebra offers Chicago vegetarians an upscale and unforgettable dining experience. The moss-colored, Asian-tinged house of Zen presents a menu of seasonal dishes prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ranging from organic duck egg with smoked potato puree and woods mushroom paté with garlic scape mostarda to blistered shishito peppers, Iroquois white corn grits, and squash risotto. Diners can choose from a prix fixe experience or an extensive a la carte menu, but shouldn’t miss the signature poached hen egg with smoked potato purée and parsley with country sourdough."
