In Chicago, this is our favorite. Cousin’s Incredible Vitality is not your typical restaurant. It’s not even your typical organic restaurant. All cuisine items are prepared with the highest quality organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and superfoods from around the world that incorporate the highest levels of nutrients, life-force, and love available with influences from the Mediterranean. Cousins is not just organic; they focus on raw, living foods.
“Our goal is to nourish at a cellular level where nutrients, flavors, and the true benefits and spirit of the food resonate and assimilate,” says Chef Mehmet who created Cousin’s I.V. as a haven for those suffering with weight problems, food-related health problems, and those simply seeking to improve their body-mind connection. “Our salad bar is extraordinary, with fresh greens, sea vegetables and much more. We feature gourmet appetizers served in a ‘tapas-like’ style format. Choose from several options and mix and match at affordable prices or build your own ‘Share Samplers’ served family style.”
You’ll find a wide array of choices from some of the familiar dishes like lasagna, to a marinated kale salad that Chef Mehmet massages for 30 minutes to help keep life force energy in the food.
Obviously a great deal of care goes into the preparation of the meals here at Cousin’s I.V.
In addition to the eatery, Cousin’s is an epicenter that focuses on transforming lives and healing through foods, workshops, specified programs, and services.
