    I miss this show. I liked just about every place they went to. Mr D’s definitely did not disappoint. It’s no wonder it’s the most commented segment on RUclips I’ve seen. I tried them earlier this year and it is the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had. Since it’s only the husband and wife and maybe a couple other workers making your food it can’t be messed up. The steak is simple. Not too many seasonings. Those fries are da bomb. I know they have other items on the menu but everyone comes for the steak.

    This Greek couple served steak sandwich for 40 years. The guy is happier than a pig in mud. He is proud of his work, loves it, believes in it, cares for it. He loves his wife is the first thing he says. To me, he is richer than these so called insatiable greedy rich people who don't earn their money honestly. It's never enough for them.

      Ditto. A great team. Greek joints always rule. Here in the South, the Greek places are always the most consistent, best food, service and prices.
      And Chicago in a wonderful town. The hospitality here in the South is hit and miss. I've never had anything but a great time in Chi-town - nice, friendly people. Must be that mid-west influence.
