Bebe's Kosher Deli Opens October 7

Bebe's Kosher Deli opens this October 7 at the Chicago French Market as Chicago's only downtown Kosher deli. You don't have to be Kosher to enjoy Bebe's fine Kosher deli cuisine. The space, formerly Bebe's Eatery, has undergone a complete makeover - both in design and product offering. The new name: Bebe's Kosher Deli better reflects the deli's broad product offering.

Bebe's will have a traditional deli menu and nostalgic classic Jewish cuisine. Sandwiches will be made to order, with deli favorites including Pastrami, Corned Beef, and Kosher Hot Dogs. Matzo Ball Soup, Knishes, Kishke, Latkes, Lox, hot pretzels and more will be available daily.  
  
All the deli meats, deli salads and tossed salads will be available by the pound.  Bagel lovers will be happy to start off the day with fresh toasted Bagels and a selection of five different cream cheeses: regular, vegetable, chive; low fat regular and low fat chive. Fresh baked Challah and Challah rolls will be available every Thursday and Friday, just in time for the weekend.

Bebe's Kosher Deli is under the supervision of the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc). A Mashgiac will be on site to ensure the highest level of kashrus. All the meats are Glatt kosher; all the breads are Yoshon and all the dairy products are Cholov Yisroel.  

Bebe's Kosher Deli can cater simchas anywhere in Chicago and now offers delivery. Bebe's is open 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily Monday through Thursday. Bebe's is Shomer Shabbos and will close at 3 hours before sundown every Friday. Bebe's will be closed on Saturdays

Kotel Kosher opens at Chicago French Market May 15

Yona Metzger, Chief Rabbi of Israel, to Officiate Opening

The Chicago French Market (131 North Clinton Street; 312-575-0306) welcomes a new and unique vendor, Kotel Kosher. Kotel Kosher is a "grab and go" that will offer shoppers a wide variety of strictly Kosher deli and grocery products for either dining at the Chicago French Market or taking home.

A grand opening celebration is planned for May 15. Honored guest Yona Metzger, Chief Rabbi of Israel, will officiate.*

For those who want a Kosher meal on the go, there will be plenty from which to choose, including all popular Kosher brands. Kotel Kosher will be run by the same people who own Chicago Organics, a mainstay at the Chicago French Market.

Kotel Kosher will be one of the only places in the West Loop area of Chicago where people can go to purchase strictly Kosher grocery items. Metra commuters, people who work in nearby office buildings and residents of the West Loop will be pleased with the convenience of shopping at Kotel Kosher.

Kosher foods are those that conform to the regulations of Jewish law (Laws of Kashruth) that were first written in the book of Leviticus.

Kotel Kosher will be open Monday through Friday and, in keeping with Jewish law, will close at sundown on Friday and stay closed all day on Saturdays.
