So what's the Big dill?
You've hungered for authentic nosh.
Yearn no more, Zeitlin's is here.
It's hard to get good bagels and Jewish food in Chicago.
Delivery, Markets, Catering.
After spending 12 years in the culinary world, founder Sam Zeitlin realized that finding a quality East Coast-looking bagel in Chicago was tough.
Sam began experimenting with different recipes, drawing inspiration from the best bagel-making techniques throughout the country. He just wanted to make food people love.
Now his Bagels let you taste the comfort of home in just one bite.
Hand-crafted artisan recipes take time, as most menu items take multiple days to prepare. We don't take shortcuts.
All our products are prepared with the best ingredients, partnering with local vendors to ensure the best quality.
If you are seeking wholesome food in your life, Zeitlin's has you covered!
Sam has spent a lifetime in the culinary arts focusing on baking. He cooked for many Michelin-star restaurants and won the Star Chefs Rising Baker Award in 2021.
Hal, his younger brother, owns a low-code digital agency and brings the digital infrastructure needed to feed many mouths with only a small team in the kitchen.
Now, Sam and Hal are on a mission: to share their childhood favorites with Chicagoans of all backgrounds.
Bagel boy is here, providing artisan Jewish recipes for all.
But who is Bagel Boy?
They say you may find him at Farmer’s Markets or on your doorstep, delighting the youth, nourishing the masses, and honoring the elders.
Bagel boy respects the heritage of Jewish nosh, and seeks to provide modern touch and flair to it. He's here to save the day.
Bagel boy is authentic, friendly, and born to bring the delicatessen light to the city of Chicago and, in the near future, to the entire United States.

We are not a kosher certified kitchen however we strive to provide our community with culturally rich Jewish cuisine using ethically sourced ingredients when available. We refrain from using pork and shellfish. When possible, we try not to mix meat and dairy in dishes.
