Home of the Hoagy

Sandwich shop · Morgan Park

"The Chicago-style hoagy isn’t well known beyond the South Side communities where it originated. The sandwich isn’t made by the Instagram generation. It’s a sub roll (usually Turano) stuffed with thin-cut beef, onions, green peppers, and addictive sweet sauce. That all gets rolled up in paper, which compresses the entire thing. Be prepared to wait in line at Home of the Hoagy, which has been in business since 1969." - Samantha Nelson
