Will you be in Chicago?

Two major establishments which you can google for addresses:

Mr Beef
Al's Beef

Many other places such as Portillo's, serve superb beefs.

You order them with or without sweet or hot peppers, and more or less
"wet."

Wet refers to dunking it in the broth in which the meat is cooked.


We have a Philly cheese steak place in Chicago, which a friend from
Philly swears is quite authentic, and the Philly cheese steak was really
a heavy preparation. It was pretty good, though, but hard to finish.
While not at all "lite" cuisine in any way, Chicago beefs can actually
be finished off at one sitting.
