If you are doing some holiday shopping downtown please check out
Chicago Downtown Farmstand near Randolph and Michigan. Santa likes localvores and they have Nicole's Gluten-Free crackers and vegan cookies from Tiny Cakes.

I would need a digestive enzyme the size of my head to get though any of those challenges. I'm no competitor eater but I do have some experience with food kicking my a**.
