"The Lardon is a salumeria, so the menu is full of salumi, cheese, and various meats they cure in-house. Basically, a bunch of fun, snack foods that are perfect for a solo meal while getting some work done, or a casual date. Sit out on their patio, order a meat and cheese spread (which comes with housemade accouterments like onion jam), some wine, and wave a cornichon around to emphasize a hilarious-yet-charmingly-relatable point you’re making." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"An all‑day salumeria and café known for house‑cured meats and charcuterie that will be tapped as a source of pizza toppings for a forthcoming Avondale pizzeria; it is part of the same operator’s group that enables cross‑venue menu collaboration." - Ashok Selvam
"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." - 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
