Publican Quality Meats

In a city filled with great chefs, Paul Kahan is one of Chicago’s best. From the fine dining stalwart Blackbird, to the elegant cocktail bar the Violet Hour, to the gourmet beer hall Publican, he’s created distinct and delicious experiences around town. It’s no different with his butcher shop Publican Quality Meats. His team does whole-animal butchery on site, and features a wide variety of meats including duck, chicken, pork, and beef—all from local farms. As an added bonus to Windy City residents planning a cookout, Publican also has an excellent charcuterie program to make appetizers easy as well.
