With a major re-building underway, undoubtedly Joseph’s owners were required to meet new building codes that were not in existence when Eagle Food moved from the south side of the shopping center into new digs at the northwest end of the strip mall.
From the re-modeling experience at our First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake, that will not be a minor expense.

What are they?
Barbecued ribs and eggplant.

And the theatre at the deli counter; love the banter and great cold cuts.
