It doesn’t get much more old school than Gepperth’s. Though located in the now-trendy Lincoln Park, the Gepperth brothers opened shop in 1906. They sold it to the Demkes in 1981, but it’s remained a family business through and through. Head butcher Otto Demke has been cutting meat for more than 50 years, so you know your order is in capable hands. Fresh poultry, beef, sausage, pork, lamb, and veal are all available six days a week.
