CHICAAAGGOOOOO! Wow, and right down the street from me. I'm so gonna get fat. I love the Combo Italian Beef and Sausage....an Italian Sausage topped with Italian Beef. OMG. Add the sweet and hot peppers and that delicious sauce that soaks into the bread. Can you say Heaven?
I don't know if I've ever been served by the owner like Chris, but everyone I've run in to there has been very cordial. Not overly pleasant per se....but hey, what do you want from a Chicagoan? Straight to the point and they get the job done.
Also, get the Chicago grown Green River soda. Only place out here I've ever seen it.
