They sell almost everything you need to create a charcuterie board: fresh cheese, meat, chocolate, jams, nuts, pickled veggies, etc. We chose three cheeses and the amount we wanted. I do wish they had some little descriptions about the cheeses on their name cards. It also seems like they eyeball the amount when they cut it, so you might get more or less of what you ask for even though the price depends on the weight because that's what happened to us. We also bought some cornichons, malort pickled tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and fig jam!

They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that!

Very cozy place with a nice vibe to catch up with friends or if you want a simple, but tasty brunch. We ordered the daily cheese board with two meats, and the beef brisket deep sandwich. Honestly I was not impressed by the board, but the meats were really good. The baguette was 10/10 even the salad that comes with it was great. The main reason for the 4 stars is the $20 cork fee. I was shocked and disappointed since the main reason I picked that place was to have a bottle of wine. Most of them were $30, 35, $40 plus $20 cork fee which is incomprehensible to me, considering I'm buying the bottle from the establishment and also consuming it there plus the food I'm getting. Service was great and I appreciate that the server let us know that the gratuity was included.

I was open to trying a new restaurant at Midway Airport named Beechers. It basically serves grilled…read morecheese sandwiches and paninis featuring Beecher"s homemade cheese. I decided on the Flagship sandwich which is a take on the Caprese sandwich. The cheese was amazing with a nutty slightly sharp favor. A combination between a sharp cheddar and goat cheeses, smooth and creamy. But what made it a bit disappointing was the sparseness of the chopped basil. It was underwhelming and only a hint of basil was detected in maybe every other bite.. If not a whole leaf, a sprinkle of shredded basil would have provided a more satisfying and consistent flavor that I kept anticipating. Service was pleasant but there was a wait. There was only one young lady making the sandwiches. They may need another oven to speed that process up. The coffee came quickly, though. Airport area was fine. Plenty of seating and charging stations!

It's an airport; we're a captive audience, and I expect to pay higher prices. I'm also generally very pro-worker, so I know how important tips are. But if I'm doing the work of putting in the order, and the employee is simply doing his or her job by ladling mac and cheese into a cup, putting a lid on it, and calling out my name, what exactly would I be tipping 18 percent for? Shouldn't I get an employee discount for doing some of the business's work for it? I know those captive-audience airport prices aren't going to the workers' paychecks; they're going directly to fattening up the companies' bottom lines. The mac and cheese itself was fine. Three, maybe three-and-a-half stars. There's way too little of it, both to qualify as a meal in itself and for what you pay (around $16). The service was actually pretty rude, or maybe just brusque. The worker who prepared my mac and cheese didn't smile or even make eye contact with me, and I had to hunt around the counter for the forks and napkins. I understand that everywhere wants to limit the number of napkins customers take, so they give or offer very few, but I wasn't exactly going to be eating a cup of mac and cheese with my bare hands, so why don't they include a fork when they give you your food? Just another job that I had to do for myself.

Cheese, marvelous cheese!…read more Are you that person with at least five varieties of cheese in your fridge, just in case? Well, I can straight up de-mystify the Stamper Cheese agenda. They are cheese pushers. Like so many artisanal fromage purveyors, their wares suck you in, and you just crave more. Must have fresh mozzarella cheese balls, that is my personal mantra. Twice a week, at either the Federal/Daley/ or Willis Tower Farmers Market, I shuffle up to their booth to score my fix, satiating the gnawing jones of a cheese fiend. The days in between, I try to make it last, stretch it out. Mostly, the fresh mozzarella balls will do. Occasionally, I might venture into a goat cheese gouda, apricot brie, or a nettle infused variety. You know what nettles are? Yeah. They STING you. And apparently, they're good for you too. Only Stamper Cheese would have the cojones to use stinging nettles in their cheese. Get some. It's good. It's a hard cheese variety, and quite tasty. No store front, but they have a Printer's Row Cheese Drop Off. Check their website, Facebook, or better yet, email them for details, since the outdoor Farmers Market season is now over. The winter is that much bleaker without you, Stamper Cheese.

The amount of food we got was insane. I would totally recommend Cheers to Cheese for team gatherings, bachelorette parties, all that stuff. I mean.. Just look at the photos (heart eyes).
