The Bende family has been in the food trade since 1935
when a young Miklos Sr. opened his first grocery store in
Hungary. He ran several grocery stores in Budapest and
Miskolc before immigrating with his wife and young son
in 1956. Soon after arriving in the United States, the family
returned to its meat cutting and grocery roots, opening the
first Bende store in Chicago’s Burnside neighborhood. Several
stores followed, as did a reputation for preparing outstanding
smoked meats. While we have grown and adopted
new technologies, we still use the original old world recipes
carried from Hungary by our grandfather. Using only the
most authentic ingredients allows us to remain true to
our high family standards and proud Hungarian heritage.
