"Southtown Sub is best known for its version of a rival Chicago sandwich, the Gym Shoe. But we love a good underdog story, and Southtown's Italian beef deserves just as much respect. It’s impossible to not root for a sandwich overflowing with so much beef and giardiniera it looks like a fourth grader’s volcano science project. There’s no seating in the store itself, so the best method is to eat tailgate-style in the parking lot. If you can do this without a fork and knife (and without spilling all over your trunk) we salute you." - veda kilaru
