There are foodies. And then there are fanatical foodies. When you love vegan hot wings so much, you have them Fed Ex’ed from Chicago to Burbank, California, you qualify for the latter. But hey, when you’re Ellen Degeneres, you can Fed Ex whatever you want.

Ellen ate at The Chicago Diner while filming her show in Chicago a few months ago. She liked the BBQ vegan seitan buffalo wings so much, she had the restaurant Fed Ex more when she got back to California.

Ellen even considered flying the restaurant’s pastry chef out to California to cater her and Portia’s completely vegan wedding.

Those of you in the Chicagoland area know what we’re talking about!

The Chicago Diner, which has a slogan of “Meat free since ’83,” is a completely vegetarian and almost vegan restaurant located on the north side of the Windy City. You can get anything from Radical “Reuben” sandwiches with seitan to BBQ Bacon Cheese “Burgers” to tofu scramblers to roasted vegetable lasagnas.

Nope, flying Chicago Diner vegan buffalo wings from Chi-Town to Cali ain’t a bad thing at all. It’s definitely better than flying truckloads of bacon from England to Italy.
