      ​@@archivist_of_dragonstoneyou can't go wrong with the Italian beef. The only thing you have to decide is how wet you want the bread. You definitely don't want to order it "dry" because all the flavor is in the gravy. Ordering it dipped means they dunk the entire roll into gravy. The best option (in my opinion) is somewhere in the middle.

    • @mrkeyes88

    You can get your beef in three options: Dry, dipped, and wet. Dipped is basically they rapidly dip each end in the jus. Wet is they put the whole sandwich in so the bread soaks up all the liquid. Dipped is the way to go.

    You’re supposed to brown the beef and get a nice fond going before you braise it!

    I literally got an Italian beef sandwich last week and have been thinking about making my own. The timing on this is perfect, thanks Babish.

    We had an Al's Italian Beef open up locally in the college down town area but sadly after about a year it closed down which was a darn shame. It was an amazing sandwich but I suppose there is no accounting for taste because it's been gone for 6 years (probably forever!) So this just may help me cease to be sad and sandwichless in the south

      @@troll-fx2zc To be fair, I have darkened the doorways of many Italian beef joints in Chicago and Chicagoland. Cheese is a frequent option. Usually provolone or Mozzarella. Traditional? No. Atypical, also no. It's a normal option. Locations that include cheese of note: Mr. Beef, Portillo's, Luke's Italian Beef, Jimmie's, etc etc etc.
      It's normal.

    this is my favorite sandwich ever and I always get at least two every time I visit Chicago, about once a year. Al's is alright, but Johnnie's and Mr. Beef are both way better imo. Hot, sweet, and dipped is the best way to order one (Mr. Beef actually calls that variety a 'Bear' now) but I haven't tried cheese yet! Looked fire.

    • @LadyRenira

      Cheese is a popular option at many places. As is green pepper and red sauce. :)
      I also highly recommend Pop's and the *best in town, Tony's Italian Beef on Pulaski. Both fantastic.

    My ideal italian beef?
    Skip the giardineara and go with "sweet peppers" aka sauteed or sometimes grilled green pepper. Cheese on italian beef? Yes, Mozzarella not White American. Marinara? No. I do perfer my sandwhich dipped over a baptism of broth, but both are valid.
    If you really wanna go extra, most places that serve italian beef will offer a combo option that puts a whole italian sausage in there too.

    I didn't get the chance to see The Bear until FX's recent "first one's free" preview. So basically I associate Matty and Italian Beef to that Doordash (or whatever) commercial.
