The Great Chicago Sandwich

Fun Foodie Facts:

  • Al’s Beef started as a neighborhood beef stand over in Chicago’s “Little Italy” neighborhood.
  • The Italian Beef is now referred to as The Great Chicago sandwich.
  • The “Italian stance” is the proper way to eat an Italian beef and not get messy.
  • Some Chicago Italian Beef lovers will ask Al’s to dip almost the entire sandwich into the gravy pot. If you ever want that, when you’re ordering you simply say that you want it “juicy” or “wet”.
