Popcorn Asylum Opens on Lincoln Ave. With Corn Syrup-Free, Artisan Popcorn
Lakeview, IL – A former attorney has dropped his law briefs to open a shop in Lakeview to sell what he’s calling artisan popcorn.
The secret to the label? Real butter and no corn syrup, said Ben Zion, owner of Popcorn Asylum, 2823 N. Lincoln Ave., which opened this week.
Many caramel popcorns use butter-flavored oils and corn syrups, which can lead to a greasy, less flavorful product, Zion said.
