PLANTX WELCOMES KALE MY NAME TO XMARKET VEGAN FOOD HALL

Kale My Name, a 100-per-cent-vegan restaurant and bar adored by the Chicago community, will join the Plantx Life Inc.'s XMarket Vegan Food Hall as one of its six initial culinary concepts when the Midwest's largest food hall officially opens to the public on Sept. 14, 2023.

Opened in 2020 by entrepreneur and hospitality veteran Nemanja Golubovic and named after the known Beyonce song Say My Name, Kale My Name has grown to become one of the top-rated vegan restaurants in North Chicago. The restaurant has won numerous awards, including vegan restaurant of the year by VegOut Magazine, Veggie Award 2022 for best vegan casual restaurant in the country by VegNews Magazine, Best of Chicago Award for best vegan restaurant by Chicago Reader, two-time winner of best brunch in Chicago, second in United States by VegOut Magazine, winner of best vegan restaurant in Chicago by Restaurant Guru, winner of best patio and two-time winner for best social media account by North River Commission, and two-time winner of diner choice award by Open Table.

Lorne Rapkin, chief executive officer of Plantx, said: "We're thrilled to welcome Kale My Name as one of the first food concepts to our vegan food hall. We expect their greatest hits, like the fried avocado tacos, buffalo cauliflower and jackfruit wrap, to be just as popular at our new location. With launch partners such as Kale My Name, we are going to be offering patrons an amazing culinary experience that will set the standard for food halls for vegans and non-vegans alike. We're excited for our soft opening, which is less than one month away."

"Having just celebrated the third anniversary of our flagship restaurant in the Albany Park neighbourhood, now is the perfect time to open a second location to make our vegan cuisine accessible to even more Chicagoans," added Kale My Name founder and chief executive officer Nemanja Golubovic. "I could never have imagined having one, much less two restaurants in Chicago, and I look forward to making this a huge success."

Co-developed and operated with the Macromia Group, a restaurant developer specializing in building high-end dining and retail locations from concept to creation, the 6,500-square-foot XMarket Vegan Food Hall will be the largest vegan food hall in the Midwest. The space will seat 375 people and include six restaurants, a wine and beer bar, a coffee shop, and a bodega-style grocery store that includes a vegan cheesemonger. The food hall is located at 804 W Montrose Ave. in the Uptown neighbourhood of Chicago.
