CHICAGO (WLS) — February is National Sweet Potato Month, and while many of us are used to enjoying this nutritious root vegetable as a side dish or in dessert pies, one Chicago fast-casual restaurant is making sweet potatoes the star of the show.

BIBIBOP, known for its healthy, customizable bowls, is taking sweet potatoes to the next level by incorporating them into their popular sweet potato noodles.
