| - I'm not sure where I went wrong here. Maybe ordering incorrectly or not tying the sausage. They didn't even have enough beef for the three sandwiches I ordered; we had to wait. Overall, the food was just not that good. Service was "meh". It was a pickup and we took it to work.
The beef was just bland - entirely unseasoned and so insanely dry despite the sauce. Asked for the "gravy" on the side, ended up with a sopping bun, leaking bag, and an extra charge for a side gravy instead. The other bun was hard and soaked in grease (not gravy - actual grease). The peppers were very tasty, but they tore up my co-workers stomach. She's not really a lightweight with her spicy foods, and even then she only asked for sweet peppers, not hot. I came out unscathed, luckily.
I'm not sure how this is considered Chicago beef. It's not at all juicy, flavorful, or spicy. It's just bland, messy, soggy, and rather unappealing. Perhaps I'm just spoiled after our little discovery during San Gennaro? A little booth at the fair called "Gina's Italian Beef". Amazing. I only wish she had an actual location, not just a seasonal booth.
