"Cheer up, gluten-free bagel fans: Sam & Gertie’s, arguably the world’s first vegan Jewish deli, has you covered. The deli has offerings in both “traditional” and gluten-free varieties, with flavors including mish mosh (see: everything), salt and poppy seed, and sesame. Order online via third-party delivery." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"Chicago’s pioneering vegan Jewish deli Sam & Gerties has all the Hanukkah goods for patrons with various dietary preferences and requirements. Named for owner and chef Andy Kalish’s grandparents, the deli is a family affair and thus features Aunt Elaine’s Chanukah Latkes, a traditional version with sour cream and applesauce." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"Sam & Gertie’s is a vegan deli in Uptown, Chicago. It is currently closed for the summer." - Naomi Waxman
"The Uptown deli is serving a twist on the ubiquitous chocolate cake: this one is vegan and it’s made with beetroot, which gives it a nice red color and, more importantly, a level of moistness that’s not often found in Passover baked goods. Presales are sold out, but extras are available first come, first served on Friday, April 15." - aimee.levitt
"The vegan deli will be selling cherry pie-filled sufganiyot this year, plus half a dozen flavors of rugelach, and blue and white cookies, a seasonal variation on black-and-whites. Preorder via Tock for pickup November 24." - aimee.levitt
