Beth Massura: Go to Joong Boo Market. Fill a shopping basket with tofu at 99 cents per 19-oz. pack. Enjoy scrambled tofu every morning for the next week.
Richard Shanks: Spicy tofu soup is to die for!
Tofu selection and prices are *very* good. Black sesame oil available, lots of noodles to choose from, LOTS of soy sauce varieties as well. Produce sales can be very good as well!
Mike: Get the mapo tofu and/or the hotpot

Serious Eats: The Buffalo bar-rito, with its standard all-natural chicken, like all menu items that come with meat, can easily be made vegetarian by asking for tofu instead.
Abi Worthington: The spinach & pesto quinoa bowl with tofu instead of chicken is amazing!
AJ Malcom: Black bean bowl with tofu. The flavor is mouth watering.
Usha Shivakumar: Buffalo tofu wings are a must. Great vegetarian eatery in the south side of Chicago.
