"Peoria Packing is what Eater Midwest editor Ashok Selvam called “the last vestige” of the West Loop’s history as a meatpacking district, amid intense gentrification. And when you walk into Peoria, you get that sense of a time before the commercialization of meat and everything else we eat. Peoria is no-fuss, a one-stop shop for everyone from the home cook to the uncle planning a family barbeque to small restaurant owners. Uncommon meats aren’t their specialty but cooks looking to make traditional recipes will love the abundance of chicken and cow feet (seriously, chicken foot soup is so good for your skin), whole fresh fish, and pork chitterlings, along with every other cut of beef, pork, or chicken you could want. This place gets busy, especially on weekends, so come early." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
