It's not pronounced Jewel. You don't say, "I'm going down to Jewel to get some pop". If you've lived in Chicago you say, "I'm going down to the Jewels to get some pop". Bunch of fucking poseurs in here. |

Bunch of fucking poseurs in here. First time I've ever agreed with your post...it's a damn right as a Chicagoan to call it "Da Jewels". You can always tell a transplant who goes even further to call it "Jewel-Osco". |

Sorry. #truthbomb funny you say that, in 1995 I was living in the basement apartment of this old polish lady and her daughter. They were always talking about going out to the Jewels. So its pollacks and spmacks if you get my drift. |

I don't live too far from Eurofresh. Been there a handful of times. It's good for a one-off, obscure ingredient, but I wouldn't shop there regularly. Mariano's is the goods. |
