Bishop's Famous Chili

Bishop's Famous Chili As seen on CHICAGO's BEST TV! Dine-in, Carryout & Catering We still follow the same recipe our Great Grandmother created almost 9 decades ago.

Bishop's has been a Chicagoland favorite since 1925, when Grandma Bishop opened her doors at 18th and Damen streets on Chicago's west side. The fourth generation, (yes, you heard it right, 4th generation) has since relocated to 250 N Cass Avenue, Westmont, in Chicago's western suburbs. We are proud to carry on the Bishop family name and we hope you will become part of our family's tradition.
