A new plant-based restaurant, Bloom Plant Based Kitchen, is set to open in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood in early July. Owner and chef Rodolfo Cuadros, also of popular Latin-eatery Amaru, initially started the concept as a ghost kitchen during the pandemic, offering vegetarian cuisine with global flavors. The success of this venture has led to the development of a brand new menu with over 23 food options, all fully plant-based, alongside cocktails.

Cuadros, who has been incorporating more plant-based meals into his family's diet, aims to provide affordable vegan options at Bloom Plant Based Kitchen while delivering quality flavor and ingredients. The menu will feature unique dishes with pan-Asian, South Asian, and Latin influences, moving away from the typical offerings found at other plant-based eateries. The new restaurant is a promising addition to the Chicago dining scene and is sure to attract vegans and non-vegans alike who are seeking delicious and innovative plant-based options.
