"This deli is holding the line on its Fat Tuesday paczki pricing, offering a box of six for $25.20, though it did have to increase the cost of its egg-and-cheese bagels on the regular menu." - Ashok Selvam
"The state of Chicago’s modern Jewish deli scene was uncertain after a series of closures in recent years. But new contenders have stepped up to the plate, including Zeitlin’s, a frequent Jewish deli and bakery pop-up that in late 2023 moved into downtown food hall From Here On. Bagels are a bedrock of Zeitlin’s business, and they’re also available for delivery via Square and at various farmers markets around town (follow along on Instagram for market updates)." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"The bagels at this From Here On food stall in the Loop are chewy, dense, and very tasty. You also won’t have to unhinge your jaw to enjoy them, since they’re not behemoths like some New York-style varieties. The bubbly crust gets a bit tough when toasted which can lead to a cream cheese facial, but a little mess is worth it for their smoked salmon sandwich. Get it on an everything bagel with chive cream cheese, and you’ll have the best thing available from Zeitlin’s short breakfast menu." - veda kilaru
"A snappy, juicy bagel dog from Zeitlin’s, a lively modern Jewish bakery and deli inside Downtown Chicago’s From Here On Food Hall, pays homage to the ancestors with an all-beef hot dog from Romanian Kosher Sausage Co., an iconic kosher butcher in Chicago for nearly 70 years. The dog is swaddled in an everything-spiced bagel alongside a kosher dill pickle and deli mustard." - Ashok Selvam
"Zeitlin’s, the frequent Jewish deli and bakery pop-up that in late 2023 moved into Downtown food hall From Here On, is making the most of its fresh digs with a substantial Passover lineup. Founder Sam Zeitlin and his team are featuring seder meals for one ($70) or two ($120) that include matzo ball soup with mirepoix and dill, roasted potato kugel, Dr. Brown’s Black Cherry Soda-braised brisket, smoked salmon with sunflower schmear and herbs, and much more. Sides and desserts — think coconut macaroons and flourless chocolate cake — are also available in bundles, while soup and brisket can be ordered a la carte. Place pre-orders by Friday, April 19 via Square." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
