Fri Mar 21 09:31:52 -0800 2003 0 shadrick y 1 610530 Paulina Market (at corner of Cornelia and Lincoln, not Paulina) makes their own. That's where I'd start, anyway. Fri Mar 21 10:39:17 -0800 2003 610523 0 Mike G 2 610540 try best kosher on pershing road. Fri Mar 21 12:10:11 -0800 2003 610530 0 hyme ruffalo 1 610589 I'd never buy it, can't you make your own? It isn't hard. You can get the lean beef (eye of round is good) thin sliced, if you don't have the wherewithall to slice it yourself. Season it, optionally pound it with meat pounder, then put in warm oven overnight (clean the grates very well before you do that). Or buy a drying oven after christmas when they go on sale.

Tue Mar 25 10:13:06 -0800 2003 610589 0 MAG 1 610624 Metropolis Beef Jerky in Evergreen Park (9250 S. Kedzie) has very good stuff and a wide variety of flavors. They have limited hours, but you can also order over the interent. I think deilvery is fairly cheap. Link: http://www.metropolisbeefjerky.com Tue Mar 25 17:05:57 -0800 2003 610523 0 Commodore Nutt
