Pastoral Artisan
The cheese selection here is so smart and deep, you’ll often see Chicago chefs stopping in to fill out their restaurant cheese lists with a wedge or two. Add in the fact that they carry some of Chicago’s finer charcuterie, condiments and made-to-order sandwiches and salads and there’s really no reason to cook at home again.
