"Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park knows exactly what it’s doing when it comes to Italian beef. Not just because the sandwiches are great—which they are—but because this cash-only spot is a well-oiled Italian beef-making machine. The stand has been serving perfectly seasoned beef swimming in a delightfully salty gravy since 1961, and it’s a study in efficiency. There are no less than five people behind the counter, making sure you’ll have your sandwich, fries, and Italian ice within 30-seconds from placing your order. So don’t be discouraged if you see a line (which you will) because it moves quickly." - Adrian Kane
