Going to Halsted Packing House reminds me of Ralph Furley. You know Ralph...the whacky landlord…read morefrom Three's Company, the show that turned the art of misunderstanding into an eight season hit sitcom in the late 70's / early 80's. Many an episode would include Mr. Furley listening in on something and getting the wrong impression. His eyes would bug out and he would get all irritated and uncomfortable like. Whether it was stuffing a chicken or a cooking pot, Mr. Furley always got it wrong. So what is the connection? Well on just about every occasion I have been here someone invariably walks in and thinks this is a butcher shop. What follows is Mr. Furley-like eye bulging and body twitching as it sinks in. This is a packing house. Yet, despite the fact that it is in the name even, this establishment seems to be punished for what it is not even though it never claims to be a butcher or meat market! I even see it in some of the reviews. Our family is intimate with how food sources. My parents, aunts, uncles raised whatever they ate in the mountains of Greece and that was the only source for food. The whole lamb I get from Halsted Packing House (on four occasions now over three years) has been the closest to the real deal. When lamb is fresh, you do not need to do much to it (salt, pepper, oregano, garlic) and everyone just loves it! That has always been the case with anything I procured from Halsted Packing House. I will spare the details it but suffice it to say, you're cutting out the middleman. With that said, you're also cutting out the frills of having things presented in a manner that eases your conscious a bit. Perhaps this may be due to having been conditioned to detach from where our food really sources from when we visit the local grocer. I'm not saying one is better than the other...it just is. However, there is substantial cost-advantage to cutting out the middleman. The 35# whole pig I got last week set me back just $122 and it was FRESH! I roasted it for the neighborhood block party and it was all the rage. I was getting text messages the next day from neighbors telling me how good it was. The meal had hang time (in a good way). What you get: Great fresh whole or large cuts. Friendly honest service from the lady that runs things there. What you don't get: Sugar coating. EASY five stars because it is as good as it gets at what it does.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We just moved to the area and decided to drop in to see their meats - we were…read moreso surprised to see it's really a mini grocery store! But BETTER!

Also beware because their sundaes are huge and can definitely be shared - it was loaded with Caramel and hot fudge, soo good. They also serve coffee in their ice cream shop. The grocery store/butcher shop had tons of variety! A wall of wine of every selection, can goods, cheese, fresh produce - basically everything you could possibly need. Love that they have outdoor seating and water bowls for the pups. A place I will definitely be back to visit or two.

Parking was plentiful, and I entered the building not knowing what to expect. When you enter, you can see this is a just a different but amazing place. They have freezers with meat, deli cases with meat, fridge with meat, and more deli cases with meat. There are other non-meat like cheese, desserts, and bread. For my visit, I bought some Braunschwager aka: liver sausage. The flavor was very good.. but yet a little strong for my taste bud. However, I would still rate it top 10 that I have ever tried. Jerky dip was delicious. It was very easily spreadable and a little sweet. Wagyu Tallow was in the end of the fridge aisle. I will have to test this out when I smoke some brisket or something. Overall, the prices were very reasonable especially given today's-inflation prices. I am a huge fan and will return in the future to try more stuff. Especially the jerky!
