The 8 Best Italian Beef Sandwiches in Chicago | Bon Appétit
"A suburban counter-style institution since 1953, this spot uses the same powdered beef seasoning blend of oregano, salt, black pepper and garlic for decades, producing consistent, veil-thin shavings of beef that are layered on a thick French roll. The beef cooks five hours and chills 24 more; giardiniera here is celery-forward (no carrots, cauliflower, or olives), and regulars recommend it “wet,” without cheese, with an even blend of hot and sweet peppers—save room for the housemade Italian ice." - ByXimena N.
