Allen Brothers, Inc (Chicago)
Not affiliated with Allen Brothers, Inc.
THE QUICK READ
Allen Brothers has been cutting premium beef and pork in Chicago since 1893, making it one of the oldest meat operations still running in the city. The plant sits near the old Union Stockyards on South Halsted Street, where butchers hand-cut USDA Prime steaks, aged cuts, and portioned meats for high-end restaurants and direct-to-consumer shipping. Led by the Hatoff family for four generations before The Chefs' Warehouse (NASDAQ: CHEF) acquired it in 2013, the company now distributes nationwide. USDA classifies the facility as a small processing plant under establishment number M1079.
