Kris Ostrowski Grew up in Chicago… these guys know what they’re talking about.
23 years in the Air Force has taken me all around the world, and I can definitely say there aren’t too many places outside of the Chicagoland area that know what they’re talking about when it comes to proper Chicago foods like the Italian Beef or even a Chicago Hotdog. Imagine my skepticism when I was walking past the Sandwich Wagon and saw their sign offering an “Italian Beef”. I stopped in my tracks, literally. The very nice people (owners) indulged my question “What’s an Italian Beef Sandwich?” and they seemed to know what they’re taking about (learned they have Chicago roots, as well). Ordered the beef and after a few minutes sat down and gave it a try. It almost made my eyes tear… they nailed it! Good bun, proper flavor, perfect cheese type, perfect peppers, and even wet (but not soaked)! Can’t wait to go back and try a Chicago Dog. Don’t you dare ask for ketchup because these guys know the proper answer.
Looking forward to going back to support this business. It’s the only place I know of in the area, aside from Portillo’s all the way in Dallas, to get the taste of home. Well done!
