  • I had never heard of Chicago-style Italian beef until I moved into an apartment a couple of blocks away from Al's Beef. I looked up reviews on yelp and things didn't look promising, so I held off going. But one night I was watching one of Anthony Bourdain's shows and he went to Chicago and had an Italian Beef. It looked so good I had to have one. I drove to Al's and ordered a hot beef dipped. The place felt like a fast-food restaurant, but I really wanted this sandwich to be good enough. I got the sandwich home, unwrapped it and took a bite... Bland. How was the meat so dry? I just watched them pull it out of a vat of warm liquid. It felt like I was eating mushy sandpaper. So much disappointment. This set me on a quest for a good Italian Beef in Vegas, and luckily I found Windy City Beefs-n'Dogs. I walked in, and it's the total opposite of Al's. The people are friendly, and memorabilia lines the walls. You can feel that the people who run this place love it, and in a world of chains, it feels like a real family establishment. I ordered the #13 beef and sausage, and was surprised to find that the sausage was actually in the beef. I fished it out, put it to the side, and took a bite of the Italian beef. It was everything that Al's wasn't. Moist, fatty, and salty - the vinegar from the peppers cutting through it all combining to a delicious, perfectly balanced mess. The fries perfectly crisp. The meal is so large I can't finish it all at once, but I'm barely out the door before I start to crave it again. I've been there four times in the last two weeks. As an added bonus - the people here are unbelievably friendly. This is no high-end restaurant, and the food is by no means fancy. But the price is right, the food is delicious, the people are friendly, and it's just everything you could possibly want it to be.
