Jewish Deli: Rye Deli & Drink opens in West Loop during pandemic
Only a handful remain, like Eleven City Diner or Manny's in the South Loop. But a couple of new options have emerged during the pandemic - offering takeout - including one in the West Loop that's sure to be a destination once indoor dining resumes. Forget whatever image you have in your mind of what a Jewish deli should be. At Rye Deli & Drink - where the motto is "Built From the Grain Up" - the level of commitment is astonishing. "I think we wanted to take what a deli was, and deconstruct it a little bit," said Chef/Partner Billy Caruso.
