At Best Chicago Meat Company, we like to say that "Great Taste Runs In Our Family!" Our JEMMBURGER® and GLENMARK® brands are Chicagoland's favorites, the #1 selling frozen burgers.* And we're proud to manufacture and sell all RED HOT CHICAGO® products, a premium-quality brand of authentic, pure beef Chicago-style hot dogs and polish sausage.
A Chicago tradition for over half a century, JEMMBURGER was founded in the heart of the historic Union Stock Yards area in 1959. In the beginning, JEMMBURGER's sales focus was on local foodservice peddlers. By 1989, the manufacturing process was upgraded, and the company began producing JEMMBURGER individually quick frozen (IQF) hamburger patties for retail sale. In 1999, the company entered into a long-term agreement to produce and market the GLENMARK brand of retail frozen hamburgers.
By the Spring of 2007, demand for JEMMBURGER and GLENMARK products resulted in the company opening a new state-of-the-art neighborhood manufacturing facility located on Chicago's northwest side.
In 2008, Best Chicago Meat Company, LLC, acquired JEMMBURGER. Since then, the company has aggressively repositioned the JEMMBURGER and GLENMARK brands, offering retailers and consumers quality choices that satisfy the taste of any true burger lover and fits every shopper's budget.
Best Chicago Meat's commitment to our customers goes well beyond delicious products, impeccably clean facilities and the highest standards in food safety. The company is proud to manufacture in a Chicago neighborhood setting, and operates under a strict policy of energy conservation and waste reduction. At Best Chicago Meats, clean and green are fundamental!
We are also committed to the communities we serve by actively searching out and supporting activities, such as youth sports programs, community events and local and regional festivals. Just like we do our products, we stand strongly behind our customers by supporting the programs that promote the family and neighborhood values that Best Chicago Meats upholds every day.
