The Gardener is our main vegan offering: a true homage to plant-based perfection. Begin with a golden, chewy, and perfectly crisp bagel, kettle-boiled to achieve that iconic New York texture, but better because we did it in Chicago. Then, savor the rich and creamy house-made hummus, a velvety layer that adds depth and heartiness to every bite. Nestled atop our house-made garlic-lemon hummus are fire-roasted red peppers, which infuse the sandwich with a sweet and smoky charm, evoking the warmth of a sun-soaked garden. Crisp, cool slices of cucumber follow, adding a refreshing crunch that perfectly balances the smoky undertones. Our sliced raw red onions lend a sharp, vibrant kick, while a generous helping of fresh, green lettuce introduces a light, airy crispness to each bite. The Gardener invites a blend of textures and flavors that harmoniously unite to create a rich tapestry of taste. Whether you’re a committed vegan or just a lover of extraordinary flavors, The Gardener is crafted to delight your palate and nourish your body. Come, take a bite, and let The Gardener tend to your taste buds like never before.
