Was actually kind of surprised to learn that this parochial food item doesn't have its own thread.  

I was just merely intending to point out that Al's is opening up a restaurant by Wrigley (Clark/Newport/Sheffield).; however, since I've found myself with the duty of starting this thread, allow me to throw it out there--what is the best beef in Chicago?  Portillo's?  Al's?  Mr. Beef?  Roma?  

My vote is Al's, but Portillo's consistency from restaurant-to-restaurant is better....

What we really need is a joint that just seasons the meat slices and buries them in ceramic pots to overwinter and produce a truly natural juice.

Could you possibly create a more meatball thread?

Who am I kidding? Make mine a Beef Hot.

This has the potential to be the best thread I've ever eaten.

I want to try every sammich posted here that doesn't require me to drive to the suburbs. Or the Southside. Or too far north.

So, Al's by Wrigley, eh? Perfect!

That's too bad because that old wop neighborhood near North & First Avenues has some of the finest sangwich dining anywhere.

The Al'sin Evanston went tits-up. Thanks for holding up your end, meatball.

That's not even close to something Fork would say. He'd mention a place in New York even though they don't even make good beef in New York.

New York doesn't have a Cheesecake Factory?

PenFoe would claim the Cheesecake Factory in Scottsdale has more authentic enchiladas than the one in New York.

I was thinking it'd make a solid addition to a terrible KnurtEvares joke.
