The Original Nottoli & Son Review Chicago The area around Harlem Avenue, just south of Interstate 90, about twenty miles NW of downtown Chicago, has truly become the area’s new “Little Italy.” There are literally dozens of Italian-centric delis, markets, bakeries and restaurants. I’ve looked at a couple of them before, including another deli named… Continue reading The Original Nottoli & Son Review Chicago

Rex Italian Foods Review – Norridge, IL
Rex Italian Foods Review – Norridge, IL Couple of years ago, I was driving down one of the major north/south surface streets in Chicago, Harlem Avenue. It’s one of the streets chock-a-block full of ethnic eating and grocery establishments, primarily Polish, but more than a couple of old-timey Italian joints. I stopped at one, Nottoli’s,… Continue reading Rex Italian Foods Review – Norridge, IL
Lloyds Barbecue Company Review
Lloyds Barbecue Company Review Lloyds Barbecue products are part of the line of Austin, MN based Hormel Foods. I can’t say whether they started it organically or acquired it, just haven’t found that info. The product is made and distributed out of a modern facility across the Missississippi River from the Minneapolis St Paul… Continue reading Lloyds Barbecue Company Review

Gloriosos Fresh Italian Sausage Review – Milwaukee, WI
Today I used some of their fresh Italian sausages for a home-made pizza. I only picked up two, of the “hot” not “sweet” variety, and they run about four ounces apiece at about a buck twenty per. I have this quirk which there is no rhyme nor reason for. When I’m making a sausage pizza, I… Continue reading Gloriosos Fresh Italian Sausage Review – Milwaukee, WI
Gloriosos Italian Market Review – Milwaukee, WI
Seventy-year-old Glorioso’s in Milwaukee is one of several fine Italian deli/groceries the city has to offer. If it’s even remotely Italian, Glorioso’s has it on the shelf, in the counter or in the cooler. It’s a wonderland for foodies and cooks alike. Naturally, I stocked up. Sausages. Cheese. A muffaletta sandwich. So let’s talk about that. … Continue reading Gloriosos Italian Market Review – Milwaukee, WI

Located across the US and on two other continents, Chesters offers a “store in store” concept. That is, you will find Chester’s Chicken counters in gas stations, c stores, food courts, and the… Continue reading Chesters Chicken Review
Spartan Brothers Greek Grocery Review, Chicago, IL
One of the joys (for me) of living in Chicago (or any big city and I’ve lived in a raft of them!) is having access to a preponderance of ethnic supermarkets. Within 20 minutes of me, I can partake of markets dedicated to Italian food, Indian, Asian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Middle Eastern, and Greek. It’s… Continue reading Spartan Brothers Greek Grocery Review, Chicago, IL
Jungle Jims Dry Salami Review
When I did my post last week about my first visit to the magical food kingdom of Jungle Jims, I didn’t talk about specific products, wanting to give them their own space and time. Like their packaged (house brand) dry salami. Now if you love salami of all types as much as I do, Jungle… Continue reading Jungle Jims Dry Salami Review
Jungle Jims Grocery Review – Cincinnati, OH Area
Another place that’s been on my bucket list for years, Jungle Jims opened in 1971 and has been described as a “theme park of foods.” That’s an understatement, in my opinion. Clocking in with square footage about two times a WalMart, Jungle Jims specializes in a great depth of product choices, and foods from all… Continue reading Jungle Jims Grocery Review – Cincinnati, OH Area
