Slaughter Home?

I went to a Jerk Chicken place with friends tonight. It was on the South Side of Chicago. The food was good. I had a chicken stew.

The highlight of my night came as we were leaving. As we turned the corner from 75th onto South Jeffery, I spotted a sign that made me do a double take.

It is actually listed online as "Slaughter Sons" without the &, and really the & makes all the difference.

  3. I'm sure it's a big name around here (chicago got started with the slaughter business) but it doesn't really inspire much confidence.
    "So, where will the funeral be?"
    "we're going to take her to Slaughter"
