Check out The Goddess and Grocer at three Chicago locations or online.

I had passed this striped awning and adorable deli several times, read the name aloud each time, and promised myself to visit…every time. I finally had the opportunity and was just as impressed with the food as I was with the name. The salads and pre-made options are fresh and vibrant, while the homemade jams, organic veggies and bright pink walls are a fabulous way to spend your lunch hour and money on an already made dinner.  I had the Goddess Chicken Salad and Asian Greenbeans. My mom (who’s standing at the counter with a Burberry wrap on, she’s going to kill me for putting her on here) had Chicken Noodle Soup and the Chicken Salad Sandwich (two different chicken salads). Everything was super yummy and left us wanting more. I love the thought of a one-stop shop for lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert, wine and added fringe for your fridge.
