Chicagoist Food Pr0n: The Closing of Healthy Food

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Dec 14, 2009 7:00PM

I went to Healthy Food at 10 a.m. Saturday and it was empty. By the time I left an hour later diners were starting to trickle in.

$A hearty cup of Healthy Food\'s sauerkraut soup.$ $Kugelis: the \"Breakfast of Champions.\"$ $Healthy food\'s veal Cutlets with homemade mashed potatoes and chicken gravy.$ $Healthy Food\'s bacon buns, still 3 for $1.95.$

$Santoski\'s delectable hazelnut torte.$ $Gina Santoski\'s announcement that Healthy food is closing, set up in the center front of their holiday mantlepiece.$

Last week we wrote about the closing of one of the city's oldest restaurants, Healthy Food Lithuanian Restaurant. Tomorrow is the final day Gina Santoski will be open to the public. We stopped by Saturday to pay final respects with a meal that can only be described as epic.
