"Jeff & Judes, a nearly two-year-old 'Jew-ish' deli and restaurant, is closing due to financial and pandemic challenges.

Despite its popularity, the rising cost of ingredients and labor made it unsustainable." - Naomi Waxman

Preorder via Tock." - aimee.levitt
"Ursula Siker’s “Jew-ish” deli, Jeff & Judes in Humboldt Park, was one of them. She began taking orders via Instagram in August before fully opening in November. Siker used the money she would have spent on building out her dining room to help her get through the pandemic." - Ari Bendersky
"Jew-ish deli hotspot Jeff & Judes is already sold out of Passover dinner kits, but fans can still put together a solid holiday meal.

"Ursula Siker of modern Jewish deli Jeff & Judes in Ukrainian Village stirred the pot with an Instagram post attempting to explain why it’s disheartening to hear complaints from patrons about costs." - Naomi Waxman
