Parker House Sausage Co., a 102-year-old Bronzeville icon, remains a staple for many who fondly remember its rich history and beloved original recipes.
"The Tribune explores the storied history of Bronzeville’s Parker House Sausage Co., the 102-year-old sausage company that’s both one of the oldest meat processors and oldest Black-owned businesses in the U.S. Originally founded in 1919 by “Sausage King” Judge Parker, the encased meats sensation became a household name by the 1950s and has served as inspiration for generations of Black entrepreneurs in Chicago and across the country. Parker House is now stewarded by third-generation owner Robin McFolling, who in 2013 left a nearly 30-year career in banking to maintain her family’s meaty legacy." - aimee.levitt
