The original, actual, meaning of 'Fast Food'. Not cutting corners on quality, but fast through skill and dedication. It's a joy to see these people work.))))

I live in Chicago and love this food. This is right off the expressway, a good location. It is like this all the time cause they never close, I have been there at least 15 times, day, night, summer and winter, they are always open . A great place to grab a hot meal for a any meal, their polishes are the best, cooked just right juicy and fresh. Never had a bad meal from here, never.
Repent to Jesus Christ “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” James 1:22-24 NIV J
Love My home sweet Chicago. Nothing like Jim's Original. 1 Polish mustard and onions, 1 pork chop sandwich extra onions with peppers and 1 strawberry wildwood soda pop! = Heaven
What these people are doing is so practiced, dextrous, efficient and precise that to someone as primitive in the kitchen as me it appears to be magic. I'm a little in awe.
Haven't done this, but I have worked in a kitchen before, and after a while it just becomes as automatic as breathing. For a month or so you have to think about what you're doing, after that your body just does it without you thinking about it and you just get faster and faster.
@@kettch777 Pretty much, I recall working at McDonald's in my middle and high school years, took me a good while to get used to it but shit becomes second nature the more shifts you work flipping the patties
Something about this part of the job- the lunch rush, the quick, snappy communication, people working autonomously, knowing precisely what their role is, and the satisfied customers afterward- makes jobs like this rewarding to me.
Ummmm the lunch rush? This is liyerally all day a line. Theyre open 24 hours you would be surprised how many ppl are here at 8 am for breakfast. I have been there when there wasn't a line but it is not very often
What a team! They are serving a huge amount of people! The amount of customers just tells you what an exceptional job they do! If I ever go to Chicago. I think I'll go here! SOLD! :)
I just love how the onions compliment every sandwich you get I also love how fast and dedicated they are to make sure they get your food made tasty been enjoying since a kid use to go get this as young as 8 on halsted and boy was it packed esp on the weekends just goes to show from the until now they still make the best sandwiches in chicago with dedication
Hi guys thanks alot for sharing a good time and getting to see how your take out Restaurant works I like it and appreciate you guys very much see ya from Alaska 😊
I remember my parents driving from 115th Street south to get us Polishes . What a treat. I still love these today. I'm 64. Been eating them since 5 years old. Background music ,Do it any way ya want to do it.Chicago born and raised.
The incredible speed, precise accuracy, integrity and precise quality of service from this place from the workers at this place should be a film education video to all entering working in the fast food industry kitchens or are presently working in fast food industry restaurants.
@@Yoni123 probably the best in town, i bet the sausages r 4 bucks and the cheeseburgers 3 bucks... usually these highly successful legendary places r MEGA cheap
@@zibberebbiz Exactly. It would be nice to seem them work at a reasonable pace, not a forced rush. Would lend itself to better accuracy and look more professional and not quite so desperate.
It's nice to understand that the most important thing in a dish is not a combination and variety of tastes, but a simple enjoyment of one and amazingly complemented by love for the pace of movement, only FORWARD!!!
When I was working construction in Chicago I'd always stop here if I was driving by at lunch time... so good. And I think of this as the "new" Jim's, I remember the old one on Maxwell Street before UIC acquired all the land and that was the end of the Maxwell Street Market. But the Maxwell Street Polish lives on!
these guys are phenomenal. just watching them is making my mouth water looking at how they put those hot dogs together. i take my hat off to you fellas. awesome skills.
When I was in High School I worked at a small place with 2 windows and no seating. We made mexican food and were known for our tacos. It was called Tacos-In-A-Tub. No preformed shells. You started with a stack of shells, meat and aluminum hair clips to keep the tacos closed while in the fryer. Lunch time and on Friday or Saturday nights after football games looked just like that. I almost walked out my first night, but my friend helped me and talked me into staying. I learned and got fast. After this I think I'm making Pork Chops this weekend!
Jim's Original... Man when I used to work at the United Center, there was a stretch in the winter where me and my co-workers would hit that place up after every game we worked. Since they were open 24/7 we could even go after late games when we got off at 12am. We just got our orders, then ate in the car and talked because it was too damn cold to eat outside. Always got the same order every time. Bone-in Porkchop, Polish Sausage, and a Fish Sandwich. Always ate the extra fries the next day. Good times. If you live in Chicago and haven't gone here, you're missing out.
I remember my dad used to take me down to Halsted & Maxwell (the original Maxwells Street Polish) back in 92' the sausages with fries and can soda was $2.50 , now my dad is gone RIP , and here we are in 2023 and the original has been replaced with the UIC college stores, and Maxwell has been renamed to Jims Originals with plenty more locations and the same sandwiches cost about $7.00 😅 but I still love them❤❤❤❤ I'll have a pork chop with no cheese and extra hot peppers for you POPS 🥹😞❤
Deeelicious !!! It's amazing the way they look so greasy, but by the time you get them, they're not greasy at all. All the grease went to coat the onions with flavor, so they're not greasy either. Great system. I cant believe they can constantly make so much food and it never backs up. They do so much business ! I hope these guys are getting paid well. They do a hell of a job, making this great food, keeping so many people happy and keeping the owner making plenty of money. They should be appropriately rewarded. They're awesome !
@@TheTokyoPartners Sucks we have to think like that though. Should never see someone working hard and doing great and having to hope they are paid well. It should just be that way.
Despite the fact that there making hotdogs n burgers, it's attractive watching them work hard and do good at it. I wish I lived there I'd be there everyday to grab a bite ❤
@@winninglane3671 yep, never as busy as Jim's. As long as Jim's is there no need to go next door. I remember going to the original location before they redid that area. Super sketchy, but still was good eats. Cheers!
This is also a Chicago favorite that doesn't get the kudos it deserves. A "Polish" with grilled onions and a Maxwell Street "pork chop" sandwich. The BEST city in the country for foodies! The best.
Love this place. Had to drop a part off to a technician in Chicago last week and drove 25 minutes out of my way for the original Maxwell. Absolutely delicious!
I Loved your video and enjoyed every second of it. Great and delicious fried food. The beauty of it all that all hands on the fast move for customer service. I want to just eat some and enjoy the flavors. Yummy! Love from Guam 💕
I was raised on Maxwell St. Polishes. You can smell those onions from the interstate. Those sausages may look plain but they pack a garlicky buttery spicy flavor like no other. You should see this place at 3am on a Saturday when the bars and clubs let out. Best grease in town to soak up the liquor.
So my Mom was from Poland and I grew up eating Kielbasa but secretly hating it. Just doesn't do it for me. But ... when I was ordering Vienna Beef natural casing Hot Dogs as a Father's Day present, I threw on their Polish Sausages, thinking my Dad would like them even though I don't. Whoah, best fucking hot dog I have ever had..amazing. I honestly think I could make bank selling them like this in my neck of the woods. This place is obviously busy.
Buen trabajo, las disfrute desde el 2007,y mi última vez en el 2014,las porchas son mis favoritas, ese olor es único, y a la orrilla del lago michigan con un vista espectacular, mis recuerdos cuando viví en chicago, un abrazo y felicitaciones a esos trabajadores
Went to college at UIC and my girlfriend had her dorm in JST the building literally right next to it. Ate there couple times a week. Jim's always hit the spot
I love it to the point, no crazy add-ons or custom orders like other places. You have great meat sandwiches and most importantly ONIONS, I eat them on everything.
The smell of onions cooking brings in way more customers than any advertisements ever could. Even people that don't even like onions love the smell of them carmalizing on a grill.
This is just the tip of the iceberg that is Chicago's food scene. Pluss there's all other types of awesome stuff to do there. Just plan your trip between May and October because it gets stupid cold there.
