Sam & Gertie's | Chicago IL

Sam & Gertie's is the world's first vegan Jewish deli located in Chicago, IL. They are dedicated to serving up traditional vegan Jewish deli favorites with a focus on food tradition and geshmak (yummy and delicious!). Inspired by the Ashkenazic delights of eastern Europe, New York City, Detroit, and other Jewish communities, their menu features meaty, savory, and nicely salted dishes that have been veganized.

From a Shabbos meal to a bris celebration or a shiva gathering, Sam & Gertie's offers a range of rich and satisfying foods that capture the essence of Jewish cuisine. For the owners of Sam & Gertie's, preserving their family's heritage is of utmost significance. They honor their Jewish roots and the recipes passed down through generations by recreating traditional dishes.

Additionally, their decision to go vegan aligns with their belief in caring for animals and the earth, following the guidance provided by the Torah. Sam & Gertie's strives to be a haven of goodness and decency, just as their beloved Rabbis Zentman and Barris as well as Sam & Gertie themselves taught them. You can find Sam & Gertie's located at 1309 W.
