The Best Butcher Shops in Chicago
Chicago built its name on the meatpacking trade, and its butcher shops carry that legacy forward - from century-old European markets and old-world sausage makers to Back-of-the-Yards carnicerias, Greek whole-animal packers, and chef-driven counters in Fulton Market. This is a city that still knows how to break down a whole animal.
