Debbie Sharpe (Feast Restaurant & Bar) is behind this upscale Bucktown grocery and deli where gourmet spices, rubs, sauces, snacks, crackers and other goodies line the shelves and hungry folks from the neighborhood line the deli cases, scoping out grab-and-go options such as rotisserie chicken, veggies, prepared salads, pastas and house-made soups. The mix-it-up salad bar steals the show: You choose your greens, ingredients and dressing and they'll toss it for you. Made-to-order sandwiches include the Oh, Calcutta! (tandoori chicken in a cilantro wrap) and the Greek Goddess (a wrap with hummus, tomatoes, onions, kalamata olives, spinach, grilled halloumi cheese and oregano dressing). The deli also features more than 50 cheese choices and gourmet meats sliced to order. Customized gift baskets are also available.
