FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Do you love soul food? Are you a vegetarian? Did you ever want to try vegetarian food with a twist of soul? Well, Soul Vegetarian East is the spot for you. Plenty of people think that vegetarian food is nasty or does not have any flavor, this is not the case for this restaurant. Located in Chicago, on the corner of 75th and Indiana, the aroma catches you at the door. The menu includes an assortment of veggie dishes, sandwiches, meat alternatives, desserts..just to name a few....but the list does go on. Oh, can not forget about the Sunday SoulVeg Dinner....that will fill you up but does make you slow down. Plus, I forgot to mention, THE FOOD IS FIRE or really good for those who don't know what "fire" means in this case!!! The restaurant is run by a community of Black Hebrews or African Hebrew Israelites (don't know who they are, I would advise you to look it up) that invest their hard work and time to deliver healthier food options for the surrounding community. If you want to stop hearing this review and find out what we are talking about....go now to:

"I Got 99 Problems but my Kicks ain't 1"

It's not as if I can just ignore the release of arguably Nike's most sought after shoe since Jordan retired, The Air Yeezy. I mean....it's Kanye x Nike (LoL) but for $700 is this pair of shoes worth it? In the opinion of the sneaker junkies thats a no-brainer, however, to the regular person with a fondness for gymshoes this seems a bit extreme. Both sides have a valid stance on the situation but for the true collector these are more than just shoes, they are art.

The Air Yeezy was developed from a strong relationship between West and Nike. Partnering with Nike Creative Director, Mark Smith, Kanye was taken through the product creation process, the same way athletes have with Nike Design for the past 37 years. This creative partnership of Smith and West’s talents as designers yielded a unique Nike Sportswear sneaker worth the wait. “Kanye is a truly creative talent,” said Smith. “He’s a natural designer—partnerships like this always enhance the creative experience and the end product.” West agrees that the partnership with Nike has been exciting. “Nike is such an important brand to me,” said West. “Whether you are on the court, in the street, in the club, at school, Nike represents excellence, the standard in design. Growing up, we looked forward to the release of new Nike’s the way we would an album by our favorite artist. So the opportunity to collaborate on a design with Mark Smith and Nike Design has been a dream come true, and a great experience.”
