Herring Man is an Evanston-based kosher caterer and appetizing company, offering gourmet herring, ice cream, and gluten-free goods alongside custom event catering. Known for gourmet herring as a signature product, Herring Man has expanded to include an ice cream shop, gluten-free offerings, and custom catering menus for events such as Shabbos and special occasions. Founded by Betzalel Rais, who began his culinary career at age fourteen in Boston and worked across the food service industry in the United States and Israel, and led as CEO by Sarah Rais, who previously ran 'Sarah's Famous Foods' from her home kitchen before establishing Herring Man Appetizing Co. Based at 3411 Church Street in Evanston, Illinois, with delivery available beyond the Chicago area, including to Florida. Reviewers praise the taste and quality of the herring, describe the kosher food as top-notch in the Chicagoland area, and note that staff are kind and the food is worth recommending; one reviewer flagged a negative customer service interaction at an event in Lake Zurich.
