I lost it at seeing your gang in their protective Ziploc layer, and immediately determined that this needs to be called the Moop Suit, after the famous Trivial Pursuit typo in the bubble boy episode of “Seinfeld”.
I actually tried to make an Italian Beef grilled cheese sandwich for the state fair a couple weeks ago, first making an American cheese block out of mozzarella, provolone and this amazing Italian cheese called Fontal. It didn’t win any ribbons, but it was fucking delicious.
You're amazing. Italian beef with Chicago dog toppings? I love that. Also, I put ketchup on hot dogs. I'm not ashamed. It's not for my non-daughter. IT'S FOR ME.
Um. Not only are you going to lose your citizenship to ChicagoLand, you will probably be exiled to some place like, I don't know, Florida, but not anywhere in Florida, Jacksonville, you will be exiled to Jacksonville and will be checked on once a month by really bad people who will ensure you stay in Jacksonville forever eating nothing but nachos slathered in orange cheese. And ketchup.
Man, if you only knew how many Chicagoans eventually move to Florida...I have a feeling I'd be greeted with arms wide open (the Creed song), gallons of ketchup, and a hurricane
Maybe the best sandwich I’ve ever had was the combo at Al’s Italian Beef near Wrigley Field: beef with a sausage added, dipped to near sogginess, with peppers and gardinera.
That was the greatest exploration of the Italian Beef ever, and thank you! As a Chicagoan, I am totally mystified by my compatriots love of that said sandwich. I mean, huh? It’s just so….huh? I will say if I’m going to eat one it will be baptized and with cheese and whatever else is available. But please, no other condiments. Ketchup in particular is an abomination. 🤣❤️
If Chicago disowns the lot of you, we're happy to take you into Minneapolis. Round these parts we don't give a shit if you put ketchup on your hogs, in fact that's quite normal behavior.
The No Ketchup On Hot Dogs people are the worst kind of people. Same kind of person as "the only way to drink coffee is BLACK. NOTHING IN IT." but with a weird level of regional superiority that nobody else shares.
Let people like what they like. This isn't as important as you think it is.
That said ... this deserves a Pulitzer and I can't wait to try a Chicago-style Dipped Beef.
can't believe the word "beef" appears 36 times but "boof" doesn't even make one appearance
You're a better journalist than me
huge missed opportunity to evolve the ranchy italian beef into a raunchy italian beef

I've been blaming my orders on my daughter for like 17 years. She's ... 8.
Next step: the classic combo sandwich. Put the actual hot dog in there with the beef and all the dog toppings. Really commit to that coronary.
Which Portillos do you frequent? It sounds more like a Wieners Circle! Can't wait for the Chicago Beef to go viral (with a side of insults) 🌭
The one on Addison and Kimball. Closest to us! Bonus: It's by Olive Garden. Heehee
Oh yes, and you know a lot about corner booths there too!

O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
Happy 300th!! 🎈🎈🎈
I am not even a Chicagoan and no better not to put ketchup on a hot dog..hehe
If we can get Phil Vittel to sign off on this thing, you may have created a new classic with the Chicago-Style beef sandwich.

If we ever meet up we should 100% join together to do this!
