Successful Visit to a Chicago Staple


I finally was able to visit a restaurant recommended to me by two good friends since I moved to Chicago. I'm talking about Mr. Beef on North Orleans Street.

My co-worker Mike and I hopped on the 'L' and made the short journey, and man was it worth it. If you've never had Italian beef, you don't know what you're missing.

I've eaten Italian beef from at least five or six different spots, but hadn't hit Mr. Beef yet.

The sandwiches and fries are made to order. I recommend hot peppers and you absolutely must get the sandwich dipped. Their garlicky au jus marinade is absolutely unreal and makes the sandwich and the fries were cooked hot and crispy.

Mr. Beef is not really a sit down type of joint so find a spot and get after it. And we did. I'm not really a food critic like my friend Harry, but if I have to rate it, it's getting 4.5 stars out of five. It's that good.

If you're in town and looking for a good sandwich, I'm definitely down for hitting Mr. Beef's up again.

In case you're interested, here is the address:

666 N Orleans St
(between Erie St & Huron St)
Chicago, IL 60610
