| - Okay, so this time I reminded myself to take a picture first. And...I took my Mom (awww, how sweet!) - she is an ex-chef and loves good food like I do. Finally tried the Italian Beef = huge, juicy, covered with spicy pickled salad and oh, I forgot, "out of this world good!" At first I thought Mike, the owner, was going to wipe down the counter. Oh no, that handtowel was for me. It comes with the Italian Beef so you can continually wipe your chin, neck, elbows - you get the image. Wash it down with a Cool Mountain Black Cherry (Des Plaines, Ill.) and you will be one happy camper. My Mom got to try the Carolina Traditional which she really enjoyed (how proper!) and also got to sample his muffaletta olive salad and caponata (both amazing). We got to sit and talk with Mike while we ate. Not only is he really just plain nice, but knows a lot about food and cooking. This place rocks!!
