Italian beef notes for this comment section from a Chicagoan:
1. There is an acceptable middle ground between dry and dipped. In fact, itās most peopleās preference.
2. If youāre using bread with proper integrity, dipping a beef wonāt ruin the sandwich. Bread integrity is crucial š¤
3. Beef places tend to use shredded cheese not sliced cheese. It also tends to be Mozz not Provolone.
4. Something looks off about that giard.
5. Stop trying to make āNaturalā beefs happen OP. Natural beefs arenāt a thing.

Having no dog in this fight, today I learned the Chicago beef purists are as persnickety as Philly cheese steak fans.
While not what I envision a Chicago beef to be, still looks fantastic. The thing that throws me the most is what looks like an abundance of pickled jalapeƱos in the giardiniera.

This does not look right at all. Looks like someone read a description of an Italian beef and made one without ever trying one.Ā
And on a personal note I will never understand cheese on a beef. Bread, beef, giardineria.Ā

That looks great!! People always wanna tell other people how they should enjoy their food and it drives me crazy, ignore the haters who are just obsessed over the fact that you didnāt get your sandwich the way THEY would want it. Dip or no dip, Italian beef is always gonna slap. I could smash that right now!

That bread is waaaayy to dry. Needs a full dip.
Why no wet? š
It’s so dry…
Like a Skokie Italian beef.
Drier than an eighty year old nun
Where is this from? So I can avoid it.
