Lardon

"Meadowlark Hospitality has a hit on its hands with Lardon — the all-day corner spot that exudes Old World butcher shop charm. Chef and partner Christopher Thompson (Coda di Volpe) graces the neighborhood with handmade Saucisson de Campagne, Genoa Salame, ‘Nduja, and much more — all aged in its unusual “charcuterie cave” curing room with a window so patrons can ogle the meats." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"A long-vacant corner in Logan Square is now an acclaimed salumeria and all-day cafe, thanks to the efforts of fledgling restaurant group Meadowlark Hospitality. Co-owners Steve Lewis and chef Christopher Thompson have been vocal about their desire to serve the neighborhood rather than critics, but have nonetheless captured Michelin’s attention for two years running." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"A deli offering a variety of cured meats and artisanal sandwiches." - MICHELIN Guide

"Lardon is a salumeria, so the menu is full of lots of salumi, cheese, and various meats they cure in-house. Come here with someone you really don’t know and order a meat and cheese spread. Their elaborate boards come with housemade accoutrements like onion jam, crackers, and smoked almonds, and playing with these like some version of an adult Lego set is a perfect way to entertain yourself while you figure out how the person across from you got your contact info." - adrian kane, john ringor

"This salumeria in Logan Square was recently added to our Hit List, and we’re happy to report they just expanded their hours and menu. Now they close at 10pm, and serve things for dinner like confit duck, mussels, and sweetbreads." - adrian kane
