The 8 Best Italian Beef Sandwiches in Chicago | Bon Appétit
"Al’s Beef opened in 1938 and is one of the oldest Italian beef spots in the city. This is one place where you can get nearly any variation of the sandwich: dry, dry with gravy on the side, wet, dipped and topped with your choice of hot giardiniera—you name it. What sets Al’s apart is an 85-year-old sandwich recipe and a beef-cooking technique that takes nearly 30 hours." - ByXimena N. Beltran Quan Kiu
