If You Enjoy Gourmet Popcorn, These Places Are Close To Rockford

Not too far from Rockford are some places to get great gourmet popcorn.

Popcorn isn't just for movies anymore. I think that was the only time I would get it is at the show. Well, maybe sometimes some microwave stuff at home. Again, while watching movies. People love movie popcorn. It's so popular, some theaters were selling it curbside during the quarantine.

I knew there were different flavors of it but I didn't realize that gourmet popcorn was a "thing," until a couple of years ago in an episode of "Modern Family." Somebody on the program wanted some special stuff from a place called Garrett's in Chicago.

Well, if you're a fan of gourmet popcorn, you're in luck because there are a few places not far from Rockford to pick some up.
