"One of the buzziest, busiest new restaurants in town is Au Jus, a small sandwich shop wedged between a nail salon and pizzeria in a dinky strip mall. The draw: Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches made from USDA Prime top round, which is slow-roasted, sliced, piled into a hoagie bun, topped with giardiniera, and served with au jus made from the drippings. Also remarkably tasty are state fair-style sausage and pepper hoagies, pressed Cubanos, fresh-cut fries, and batter-dipped onion rings." - Douglas Trattner
