list of Chicago-based food companies
I was finishing up a bag of Donkey Chips when I noticed on the back of the bag that the company is in Chicago. I’d love for Jewel and Dominicks to have a published list of all the food/drink they sell that is made by Chicago companies. Wikipedia has a small list.
