I've traveled all over America (49 states so far, Alaska is still on my list), and one of the things I've learned is that there are so many little restaurants that don't look like much on the outside but have fantastic food on their menu. Absolute gems, and so many times you find out that the proprietors are some of the nicest, down-to-earth folks you'll ever meet. I think that it's this type of person who cares enough about their customers to make the best products for them. I salute and thank all the hard working people in the food industry who make our days better through their craft.

@PhillipV-qm4mf 4 месяца назад

I'll let those who dont know in on a secret. I'm a life long Chicagoan and used to work in a few restaurants like this. They are all the same, it just depends on which vendor they get their food from, vienna brand food is king in Chicago. The best establishments fork over the extra money to serve vienna products, and use steam to cook some of their food. Basically hotdogs, Polish sausage, bugers, Italian beef, and gyros are mainly sold in all of these places. ALL the food is frozen and mostly pre-cooked even the au jus sause they put on the sandwich in the video. The "cooks" basically just heat it up and put it together. Also, I don't know why, but a lot of the people that own these joints in Chicago are some of the most stuck up pathetic wanna be tough guys in the city. Not all of the owners of these Chicago fast food places are a-holes, but I've worked for and delt with a lot of them. If anyone knows of a place like this in Chicago that makes this type of food from scratch let me know because the frozen stuff is fire, the fresh food has to be amazing.

Some Italian beef places sell a dish called "gravy bread", which is just the bread soaked in gravy. Often eaten during Lent because the RCC declared beef au jus is not meat, but the au jus is so beefy that you get something that approximates a beef dish.

I'm a Chicagoan who travelled all over the country with the circus for a few years. I was shocked to find out that the food in my hometown was _so much better_ than the rest of the country.

There's a reason this city is a bunch of fatsos.

You can order beef kits online with all the ingredients except for one. The bread. Most of the beef places in Chicago get their bread from Turano bakery in Berwyn, a suburb right next to the city. It looks like french bread but it's a unique recipe and it makes all the difference. They delivery the bread fresh early in the morning.

Portillos used to be awesome back in the day. Now they are owned by a Chinese company and the quality has gone way down since then. They went public a few years ago and are expanding across the country. Not sure how the stock is doing now but it lost half its value a few days after its IPO so that is a reflection of what people think about their food.

@joycebacon4802 3 месяца назад

@thebritstry I'm a South Jersey/Philly guy living in Hawaii now. If you go to Philly anytime, please do not go to Pat's or to Geno's because they are absolutely tourist traps. If you're going to hit up any spots in the Philadelphia region, you must hit up Angelo's on 9th & Fitzwater. Yes, even though they draw a huge crowd now, they taste 1000x better than Pat's or Geno's. Also, you gotta go to John Roast Pork on Synder Ave to try their Roast Pork Sandwich. It is just as good as the Italian Beef you got in Chicago, but the RP has broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, and a pork gravy that's out of this world. In Camden NJ, right across the river from Philly, I love me some Donkey's Steak. They keep it simple with their cheesesteak. And Lawrence NJ Meatheadz Cheesesteak. In Delaware County PA near the Delaware/Pennsylvania state line, there's a spot called Don's that you will love. Check out my channel, I have a few food review videos on there. BTW, love your channel as well. Whenever you decide to make a trip to Hawaii, let me know.

I was told that this started out as wedding food during the Great Depression. The thinking was that if you dip that bread in the au jus, it satisfies like meat. The proper Chicago pronunciation of giardiniera is "jar-dih-nair" which probably makes Italians cringe in pain. Chicago-style giardiniera is amazing in pasta, pizza, salads, and sandwiches. The really magical thing about it is that it stays crunchy even after baking in a pizza.
