114836 Thu Jan 29 10:37:08 -0800 2004 5 7 Chicago Area 0 625519 I'm meeting a friend for lunch. He's on the South Beach diet. I have no idea what that is, but does anyone have any suggestions for a place conducive to such a diet? He's near Dearborn/Washington and I'm near Adams/Wacker. Anywhere in between would be good. We'd prefer sit-down, service over fast-food. Thanks, Schatz Thu Jan 29 10:37:08 -0800 2004 0 Schatz MacArthur 1 625520 If his diet is what I think it is, a variation on the Atkins, one suggestion that comes to mind would be the well regarded Siam Rice, plenty of Thai dishes can be low carb/mostly meat (beef salad etc). The space and setting is also very nice for a business lunch. About 150 South Wells. Shannon Thu Jan 29 10:54:09 -0800 2004 625519 0 Shannon Clark 2 625522 Actually, it's located at 117 North Wells.

I tasted them on Tuesday and they are great. Chef John Hogan of Keefer's Restaurant has 2 new items on his special menu that are low carb. All of the above meet South Beach and Atkins criteria.

It's mostly a sub shop, but there are tons of other menu items also. Thu Jan 29 19:26:03 -0800 2004 625519 0 Simon
