"Al’s Beef opened in 1938 and is one of the oldest Italian beef spots in the city. This is one place where you can get nearly any variation of the sandwich: dry, dry with gravy on the side, wet, dipped and topped with your choice of hot giardiniera—you name it. What sets Al’s apart is an 85-year-old sandwich recipe and a beef-cooking technique that takes nearly 30 hours." - ByXimena N. Beltran Quan Kiu

It's a Chicago thing that Californians just don't get. Try the combo sandwich "wet". Righteous. This is a Chicago landmark.

Italian beef & sausage combo wet with sweet peppers and provolone. You can thank me later.

Meat is really soggy! No onions no flavor. Oh well
