"Chicago’s meat packing industry left Fulton Market years ago with the once edgy district replaced by a glut of retail and trendy restaurants. However, the owners of the Publican, one of the area’s pioneering restaurants, have held on to some tradition through Publican Quality Meats. It’s part gourmet specialty shop, part cafe, and part butcher. Rob Levitt, an experienced sausage maker at Butcher and Larder, oversees the sausage program. His track record for encased meats is remarkable, and the brats at PQM are at that level." - Ashok Selvam
