"Yum, Yum, Yum\nI was in Chicago two weeks ago and practically begged for an Italian beef sandwich 'cause we didn't have any here in Mesa.\nThey took me to Portillo's and it was very good.\nGetting home, I got on line and found Yelp AND Italian beef AND Lobby's\nI went within a week and bombarded Lobby with questions (we Chicago-born are picky about our IBS's) Said I did not want to eat it with a knife and fork and asked for Medium dip (his term HALF) and wanted lots of soft bell peppers and onions.\nThe fries were really good with the sauce that I could enjoy even on my arm but the sandwich AAAAH\nHalf dip was perfect, and I picked that sucker up and I'm sure my purring could be heard for miles ! He doesn't skimp on quantity of beef, or quality with no fatty strands to be found, and even if you ordered this dry with au jus on the side, it would be succulent.\nLobby smiled as I got up to leave and commented that I had eaten it all.\nWhat did he expect ? (and had he seen me digging for the little pieces of beef stuck to the wrapper) ?\nWe yakked about Chicago and his green walls came up with his explanation that it represented lettuce, the red the tomato etc and it was meant to be a hamburger simile.\nAnyone going to this IBS heaven and looking at the decor would get my Chicago Evil Eye : )"^^ .
