Romanian Kosher Sausage Co.

The stainless, all-cap Futura letters that comprise the exterior signage; the rows of deep-red salami dangling against the super-saturated turquoise tiling; the darling analog number machine—if Wes Anderson were to make a film featuring a butcher (and we think he should!), he’d have a ready-made set in Romanian Kosher. In addition to cranking out Andersonian vibes, the shop has been supplying Rogers Park residents with kosher delights since 1957. Its hot dogs enjoy something of a cult following, and its brightly spiced pastrami and corned beef make for satisfying sandwiches. Curious eaters might consider picking up chicken breasts stuffed with kishke, a seasoned mixture of matzo and schmaltz.
