Worldclass specialty breads
All our sandwiches come from bread baked especially for Bat 17 by Bennison's Bakery, an Evanston institution since 1938. World Cup of Baking Gold Medalist and Certified Master Baker, Jory Downer, personally manages the painstaking process to produce the Bat 17 specialty breads. Bennison's uses organic and whole grain flours and all of Bat 17 breads are baked with unbleached, unbromated flour. After each daily delivery, the breads are hand-sliced and each sandwich slice is individually grilled with the finest 100 % virgin olive oil.
Bat 17 takes a fine dining approach to the selection of all vendors and suppliers. Our mouth watering lean corned beef and pastrami come from Kelly Eisenberg Gourmet Deli Products located right here in Chicago. Since 1929, Kelly Eisenberg products have built an unparalleled reputation for the highest quality gourmet delicatessen products. Our free-range chicken and turkey have unmatched flavor and freshness.
All of us at Bat 17 owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to some very special people at Zingerman's' Deli in Ann Arbor, Michigan. To P.S. and R.S., especially, many thanks!
