Fatback is set to shake up downtown Chicago’s lunch scene in early 2026, bringing chef-driven sandwiches, a full butcher counter, and a specialty market all under one roof. This isn’t just another deli—Chef Charlie McKenna (of Lillie’s Q and Roux fame) and The Fifty/50 Group are obsessed with quality, from custom breads to house-made meats and globally inspired flavors. Expect premium ingredients, French-style rotisserie chicken, and local artisan goods. It’s a bold move for the Loop, blending old-world charm with modern convenience. What do you think—will this hybrid model change how we eat (and shop) downtown? #Food #ChicagoRestaurants #FoodAndBeverage
