Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Tired of those funny looks you get from friends when you order tofu instead of beef, or wash down breakfast with a cold glass of soy milk? We know just the place to give them a quick lesson in bean curd appreciation. The Chinese American Museum of Chicago’s new exhibit, “Tofu: The Wonder Food,” answers all those age-old questions about this meat substitute, starting with: “What the heck is it?” You’ll “trace tofu’s amazing journey” from China to your table! You’ll watch videos! You’ll see tofu-making equipment! But, if you want to eat it, we suggest you hit nearby China Cafe (2300 S. Wentworth Ave. 312-808-0202). Order the tofu casserole, a hot pot teaming with plenty of stuff. Chinese American Museum, 238 W. 23rd St. 312-949-1000.
