Mealmakers Delicatessen. ( Gone.) Berwyn Illinois USA. March 1987.

Mealmakers Delicatessen. (Gone.) Berwyn Illinois. March 1987.

Hello everyone!
welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
An interesting sideline to all of those train and bus photos that appear on My blogsite, are the surprising number of now lost local Chicago area landmarks and businesses. I took this photo one early Springtime afternoon, in March of 1987.

Seen here on West Cermak Road near Oak Park Avenue, was the locally popular Mealmakers Delicatessen in west suburban Berwyn Illinois. This takeout business, had specialized in homestyle ethnic food delicasies of mainly Czechloslovakian background.
They had a pretty decent amount of catering business as well.
My Mom and Dad went there occasionally during the 1980's, and would bring Me home some Hungarian Ghoulash, Dumplings, Roast Chicken, Pork Chops, or Potato Pancakes.

Although they are no longer here today, they left Me with happy memorys and taste buds. They gave You plenty to eat too.

Thank You.
Eddie K.
