Love the attention paid to Turano bread. I grew up in Chicago. My dad was a limo driver and knew all the best spots to get a cheap, delicious lunch. Every now and again, he'd take me with him to swap cars or run errands, and we'd ride the El together. He introduced me to italian beef. I've tried most of the big name places but my favorite will always be Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park. We'd stand in line in the sweltering summer heat and humidity (in a line that went out the door and around the side of the building at times), patiently waiting for our turn to order. My childhood order was always an italian beef, juicy and sweet (dipped in the au jus and with sweet bell peppers), some of their perfectly floppy fries, and a lemon italian ice (which my dad would steal more than half of). I looooved that au jus soaked bread. I think I would have eaten that alone honestly. Turanos has an amazing recipe that holds up to being dipped without falling apart. The crust is crisp without scratching the roof of your mouth. My dad used to make the most delicious pepper and egg sandwiches with turanos rolls. I could eat their bread without any topping. I live on the west coast now, and I wish I could find their bread over here.
Funny, I met a young lady on a plane in Phoenix. She was from Chicago and her father was a limo driver. I got off at my stop in St.Louis as she was headed back to Chicago. She told me she had visited her sister in Arizona and planed on moving to Phoenix in the near future. She gave me her phone number but I misplaced it and was never able to get back in touch with her. She seemed absolutely cool and somebody I wanted to get to know better. This was back in the early 1990’s probably around 1993. Her father and younger sister were with her. Hope she is doing well, I sometimes think of her and wonder what happened to that beautiful girl I met on a flight back home to St.Louis. Chicago is full of wonderful people and great food. Even though I’m from St.Louis and grew up following St.Louis sports teams, I always had a great love and respect for all things Chicago, even the Cubbies and White Sox. Grew up watching WGN and Harry and Steve Stone. Unlike most people from St.Louis I always rooted for Chicago. Great place Chicago is. I’ve visited it many times.
could i have my meat counter thin slice my raw top roud first then slow cokk it in stock at home? due to stoke i cant use both hands so slicing is difficult
I can appreciate chefs not being able to watch The Bear. I can't stand hearing Call The Midwife for the same reason. Brings back too many memories of delivering babies, then I dream about it all night.

Finally! Someone who did a homemade Italian Beef correctly. Well done!
looks delicious! The sandwich looks good as well.
This was so fun to watch!!!
Gonnella or Turano bread are really important.
in she goes in a one pot with onions and beef stock and out she comes two hours later perfectly dry on a roasting tray.. tv magic at it's finest.
My brain cannot process the word "giardiniera." It's like the Rural Juror to me.
Turano's of Berwyn, Illinois!
I’m going to study this one! Looks amazing.
Love you Coco!
Perfect, but ya gotta dip,that baby.
Soooo hungry right now

Does any one know if there’s a step by step recipe for this anywhere?
that looks good
I like Lukes in the Chicago Loop
What is thee music?
What type of oil in the pan?
any neutral oil is fine for searing. avocado oil is a nice healthy option
Portillo's 2 lbs beef take and go increased by $10. I think because of this show.
Your sandwich looks so good. I usually like my Portillo's Italian beef fully dipped; is this frowned upon? Does dipping the sandwich ruin the bread?
Portillo's puts MSG IN the juice.
That explains why it tastes so good.
@@raymondscilingo8052 That explains why it tastes so good.
It needs to be dipped & served wet.
Did you master making it or just dipping ?

You can't call it a TRUE Italian beef if your using chuck... No way No how...
Sorry, beef chuck is not authentic.
What kind of meat did they used?
Chef Courtney used Chuck...Chuck Roast,I'm guessing
where is Matty?!? Is he not Times material?!?
Rule #1 Waffel Snot Clean Yah meat 🍖 🤣 then season it then cook it nipple 👂
I'd put some cheese on the top.
Yeah, I got a PG-rated crush on Courtney!
what ya gonna do?! lol
last
Really ? I’m from Chicago, home of the Italian Beef . Sorry but you have no clue .
facts, I'm 100% Italian & these girls have no idea what they doing
I’m from Chicago as well. The end result looked just fine to me, except for not dipping. What was your problem with the way they did it?
