    My wife and I were in the shop for the first time many years ago. We ordered our encased meats and then each ask for a fountain drink. Doug replies by handing us 1 cup and says, it's free refills, no need to order 2. Whether or not we really wanted to share, I thought this was awesome and it gave me the impression that Doug was in it for the love of creating unique meats, not the business side of things. It's sad to see that passion go away, but hopefully he'll move on to bigger and better.

    Taking good care of customers is also good business . . . as long as you're not a short-sighted schmuck. Doug has always gotten it. His passion and respect for his customers govern how he runs his shop. It's shame that he's packing it up and also a shame that there aren't more business owners who comport themselves in a similar manner.

    This is going to leave a big, immeasurable void in the Chicago food scene.
