So close!!!!!
For the last 15 months, I've been searching the valley looking for a passable italian beef sandwich. I think I found it at Luke's.
It's not great, it's not amazing, it's not orgasmic, but it's good. Ok, so probably somewhere in between good and very good.
The beef here is about as close to Chicago style as you're going to get; thinly sliced, properly seasoned with some nice sweet peppers. The bread is a little different than I'm used to, most Chicago places serve their beefs on an 8'' roll that is close to a bratwurst roll. Luke's serves theirs on about a foot long thing that resembles french bread.
The sandwich is authentically messy and drippy. Please don't expect to eat this daintily. It does not happen. Roll up your sleeves and bring extra napkins.
I'll be back when I need a fix and don't mind eating an entire day's worth of calories in one sitting.
