"I went to Al’s Beef at 1070 W. Taylor Street, spent $13.13 on a hot, dipped Italian beef with cheese sauce, and gave it an 8.5/10 — in my opinion the meat, the bread, the jus it’s dipped in, and the peppers all had more flavor than Portillo’s and made it the clear winner in the head-to-head." - Naomi Waxman
