Al's #1 Italian Beef

Sandwich shop · River North

"Legend has it that Al’s invented the Italian beef in 1938, and while that legend might have been started by Al’s, we don't care. This perfect specimen has fluffy bread fortified with beef cooked using a secret recipe. Yes, there are other locations around the city, but the food never seems to live up to the quality at the original on Taylor Street. It’s where they marinate and roast all the beef, and we believe in getting our Al’s straight from the source. " - veda kilaru, adrian kane
