【Chicago Deli】Publican Quality Meats

A deli/butcher shop that meat lovers will adore 🥩🧀. Sandwiches, cheeses, breads, all kinds of fresh and cured meats, pantry items—everything I've bought here has been delicious, and the staff are super friendly. Most of the big loaves from their sister bakery Publican Quality Bread are also available here. Every Wednesday after 5 PM, they serve rotisserie chicken with potatoes for $30—much pricier than grocery stores, but truly crispy outside, juicy inside, and well-seasoned. 🔥 Hot sandwiches (panini) available on weekdays—pre-made chilled sandwiches pressed to order. The crust gets crispy, the cheese turns gooey… so satisfying. 🥪 My favorite: the porchetta sandwich with tangy pickled fennel—absolutely amazing! Loved it so much I bought sliced porchetta to make my own sandwich at home. 🥪 Their best-seller: the Tom Skilling sandwich—turkey + aioli + cheese + slaw. Very American, texture-rich, though a bit oily since the bread is oiled and toasted. 🍁 Fall BBQ special—collab with other local spots, featuring ribs, sausages, cider, candies, etc. They promote these limited menus early on Instagram. They also serve brunch and more formal dinners, but I haven’t tried those yet—this bread-and-sandwich lover just can’t look past the sandwiches! #ChicagoEats #DeliLove #ButcherShop #SandwichHeaven #MeatLovers #PublicanQualityMeats
