it's a Chicago thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_beef). i've been here for 20 yrs and have only eaten no more than 3 or maybe 4. i just had one for lunch and found it boring and somewhat absurd. it's literally just sliced roast beef on a white bread bun. i had mine dipped and had some giandiniera on the side which i added on top. it was still an absurdly boring sandwich. it needs some spices, veggies, cheese, condiments...you know, sandwich stuff. i ended up adding some spicy brown mustard just so i could eat the thing.

if you've had the sandwich and enjoyed it, what do you like about it?

fuck you.
