Italian Beef with sweet peppers, dipped!

I have traveled many places and have never found it anywhere else. People look at me like I have 3 heads if ever I mention it. Not many people outside Chicago (that I have spoken to) know about this great food. However, any friend or family that visit Chicago is in love with it after they've had it.

Funny I grew up in Chicago and hated the Italian beefs…but now when I come back to visit my family I always crave them and get them!

I like the combo almost as much as just the beef...

Good ol' stuffed pizza. The chain places that do it outside of Chicago (Pizzeria Uno, and the unaptly named Denver-based Old Chicago) just don't do it right.

The pizza/hotdog thing I don't get. I wouldn't touch either with a ten foot pole.

I think the thing I like best here is the thai and the chinese. We just have astounding southeast Asian cuisine, the best I've had anywhere in the country. We also have some great South American cuisine that I just can't find anywhere else.

As steve-o learned yesterday, the Chicago hot dog will always have my undying loyalty.
