Fast food restaurant · Elmwood Park

"While Mr. Beef is the primary inspiration for the Beef on The Bear, the show also nods to another iconic Italian beef joint as part of the Episode 7 montage. Open since 1961, suburban spot Johnnie’s Beef has piled its signature sandwiches with giardiniera and also dished out hot dogs and charcoal-grilled Italian sausages. Finish the meal by cooling off with a lemon Italian ice." - Samantha Nelson, Ashok Selvam
