Have you ever eaten the famous, deep dish, impossibly cheesy Chicago-style pizza?

Imagine if your town decided that for one day each week all the restaurants would only serve vegetarian meals. I’ve written in this space before about eating vegetarian at least once a week, but that was just in our house. What if that rule extended to the entire city of Washington D.C.?
